[Mettaton looks away from Zam's response momentarily. It's not as if Zam could know the history of monsters, but that question is a little bit too existential for the robotright now. So he's quiet as he thinks it over.
Why did he need those directives? It was all a ruse, and humans rarely fell into the Underground anyway. So what was the point of it all, especially when he'd ultimately been unable to thwart the one human he fought against?
...Honestly, the answer was simple.]
I was programmed that way because the only thing a monster has to fear is a human being and their determination. But human killing directives translate easily to killing others, as you can see.
[Or maybe Zam hadn't seen yet that Mettaton was good at what he did in a way that was indeed disquieting.]
