anyways. in both undertale and deltarune the neo body is only in action for a very short amount of time before it ultimately fails. NEO was the underground's last line of defense before the surface, barring the king. NEO was the last thing spamton needed before he could "reach heaven", barring kris' soul, which notably belongs to both a human and a lightner. spamton's worship for an old, decrepit, broken idol that's fallen into disrepair from neglect. mettaton slowly deteriorating as the ruler of the underground with no one to repair him. perhaps even something something they both had a deal where they could never reveal the secret of how they got into the positions that they were in or it would have devastating consequences. "And besides... I'd never find the kind of body I'm looking for, anyway." "It seems after all I couldn't be anything more than a simple puppet." something something. mettaton yearns to see the sky and become something important. he aims higher than his peers amongst monsterkind and his end goal is to become humanity's greatest star. humanity's BIGGEST star. he'll do it by any means necessary. he'll kill a human and take their soul for it. i wonder who else wants to be big. who wants to see the sky and become something greater. who wants to be bigger. who wants to be better. who would do it by any means necessary. who would kill a human and take their soul for it. hmmmmmmm uhhhh uhmmmm uhmmmmmmmmm i dunno i dunnoooooo. there's So much more i could bring up im sure but im Tired. go my incomprehensible nothing thats probably wrong and a stretch. but you see it right
