"Haaa…" Yuan let out a long sigh, then muttered in a low voice. "The more I learn about you Eternals, the more I despise your kind. Whether it's treating humans as tools or using us for your own amusent… I hate all of it."
"Don't talk as if we're the only ones who do such things," Deemo said, shaking his head. "I've watched humans for longer than you've been alive. They also treat their own kind like tools, kill each other over trivial matters, even enslave one another. In what way are you any better than us Eternals? It's nothing but hypocrisy."
"Not only are you humans not any better than us, but I'd even argue that you're worse than us in many ways," Deemo sighed. "I bet you've killed plenty of humans yourself."
"That's…" Yuan opened his mouth but could not think of any cobacks.
Sure enough, Yuan had taken many lives—both in his past and current life. Whether they deserved it or not was another matter entirely; it didn't change the simple fact that he had killed.
"Or what? Are you saying that only humans can kill humans? In that case, then what about magical beasts being hunted by humans? What about the animals enslaved by humans? Humans also play god when they have the chance. At the end of the day, our kind doesn't matter. The strong make the rules, and the weak obey. That is all that truly matters." Yuan closed his eyes and sighed.
"There's no point in arguing philosophy. What truly matters to is what is right and what is wrong. Humans… Magical beasts… Eternals… Regardless of their identity, the wrong should be punished."
"What is right and what is wrong…? The strong are always right, and the weak are wrong. That is the rule of this world—this universe!" Deemo declared.
