he 'originally' planned to be focused on that, but two of his flaws being severe anger issues that lead to tunnel vision (even if he's slow to anger he's pretty bad when he gets there) and having a tendency to jump to conclusions combined with what's probably a significant amount of desensitization from the memories he has of the prior two routes he remembers all the time he spent as Judgement and World Breaker, and that's probably not doing him favors either) eventually led him from 'that's my plan' to 'yeah, it would be nice if that plan works out, but I'm not sure that it's actually gonna happen that way, so I'll do what I have to' to spiraling into 'KILL HER KILL HER KILL HER'

Aprio Lagos really did not help this either. She's probably the main reason why he almost immediately shifts his resolve into violence for the remainder of the route. For very understandable reasons. Given what she does I want to throttle that rabbit too.
I would still say Chaos is ultimately at fault for a lot of what happens, but the situation's just pretty complicated by the end of it all.
