The man was troublesome and to his astonishment, the man's reaction was beyond his assumption. He got lost in it.
Seth contemplated whether the man was faking it or if he made the pain extra powerful, but he dropped that assumption as the pain was weaker than what he had felt.

The pain he brought out was from Meno's Aura he touched, and when he touched it, he was using Aura Sense as well as Aura Grabbed, which made him feel the pain to his core.
Almight killed himself but that made Seth smile as he looked at the other two of his experiments and activated them.
