That means the very nature of spirit, in pokémon, is a weak nature, and a deviation of arceus's scheme of things. Arceus is evil and hates manhood, which is why he uses the pixies themselves to seal away violence, said violence which sustains the entirety of the multiverse being them palkia dialga and giratina (and this is reflected in the lore in general. the sealing of the regis. the pokeballs). not only that, isnt it peculiar how the pixeis are also the one to possess the red chain? they are creatures of slavery and control.
Cyrus definitely suffered and had traumas, but hes not exempt from love, he has a crobat in his team which only evolves on love. He just rejects an existence that is fundamentally evil, and loveless. By the way, he also reflects Arceus's scheme xitself, since arceus did destroy and erase the existence that laid before him just to create a new one in its own image, all the while using powers that arent its, as arceus isnt any element, and isnt any state or flow of matter. The same way, cyrus would use the cosmos brothers to actually just go back to qhat existence really was, going back to the original state of things and handing existence to his rightful owners yet again. I'm sure of this because in generations when he ends up in the distortion world he says that this is what he really wants. And the distortion world represents the "chaos" that existed before arceus's system, if not even being just the remains of it since it works as the base of the new dimension forced by arceus.
Cyrus is just doing the good mans job. His sadness isnt but the despair of all those destroyed by arceus's evilness. Look at eternatus, kyurem, necrozma. those dudes are suffering a constant hell. and I sympathize with them too
