Chapter 504: 93rd Floor, Demons (3)
[We are noble.]
Amon declared this as if reciting an unshakable truth, a statement imbued with unquestionable value.
[We are the only eternal beings in this world, unchanging and whole. Even those who call themselves transcendents pale in comparison and are destined to fade.]
His eyes gleamed with pride and arrogance.
[We have existed far longer than any of you. It is only natural for you to show us the respect we deserve.]
“Shut up.”
Taesan cut him off, his tone indifferent. He had no patience for meaningless, self-important declarations.
He understood the mindset of the demons.
They had existed since before the creation of this world. In a sense, they were indeed unique and immutable now that the high gods had been exiled.
But they had let this fact intoxicate them, using it as the sole measure of their greatness and nobility.
To Taesan, it was laughable. If their value was rooted only in how they were born, they had no true worth.
Demons were a race that had survived since before the dawn of the universe. If they had lived for so long, they should have attained the wisdom, insight, and enlightenment to match.
