[And with such a lengthy explanation, he can't help but wonder what that noise was. But Emet-Selch doesn't seem to understand it, either. It's a disturbing result it has, and it's precisely the answer he was looking for: if there were any focus to be placed on saving Amaurot, it would require making sure that disaster can't come to pass.
At first, Mettaton knows he's only entertaining his new ideal solution as a "what-if, in-a-perfect-world," approach. He wants to know what would need fixing if one could simply wish it, or hope for it. After all, who knows what opportunities Geardagas has in store for them? But as he reads down his description, something truly awe-inducing strikes him. If he ever wondered why or how his own world was met by a perfect solution, why, there was only one way, even if nobody could remember it clearly! It was written on the walls, literally. When a problem necessitates a god's intervention, you just spend millennia trying to get a god, after all.
Mettaton's reply is delayed, but perhaps not as much as it could have been, if he were stumped.]
So Zodiark saved your people. And then, a select few of your people chose to create yet another god, as though fearing him. The one whose name I can't recall as clearly!
But do I have it correctly, that all you need is a god? [This phrasing. "All he needs," like gods are dime-a-dozen.] One who can rewrite reality, undo the damage done, deal with the source of that sound, and not provoke your people to summon a second god?
