"I see… so you refuse," Deemo said after Morveth rejected his terms. "In that case, best of luck with your endeavors."
He paused briefly before adding, his tone turning colder, "And I still expect compensation for your aggression toward my world."
"Oh? And what will you do if I refuse?" Morveth asked, her tone laced with provocation.
"I won't allow anyone to attack my territory and walk away unscathed," Deemo replied coldly.
"Even if that individual is a Prime Eternal," he added.
"Do you truly intend to fight me over something so trivial? It's not as though I actually harmed your world," Morveth said.
Though her words suggested a desire to avoid conflict, it was not out of fear. As a Prime Eternal, her strength stood on equal footing with Deemo's, making the outcome of such a clash uncertain. Still, it would be a troublesome ordeal, especially over such insignificant matters.
