The First Pillar apparently did not care about this detail, having casually mentioned it before turning their attention back to the Third Pillar, their tone unwavering as an ancient well: "As the most senior member of the 'Assembly,' it is my duty to inform you of some basic rules. To start with, including myself and the three pillars not yet present, each of us holds distinct and decisive positions that may lead to either cooperation or hostility among us. In fact, the latter tends to occur more often. Hence, aside from executing the will of the Domination, it is our primary duty to protect ourselves."
"Protect ourselves?"
Amidst the chaos, the Third Pillar was particularly keen on this topic; ever since being inexplicably dragged into this place, their top priority had indeed been to 'protect themselves'.
"Correct."
