Even the Hydra herself was a little taken aback by Zach's bluntness. She blinked once.
"Our intentions were never to destroy the world, but you know how it is. Do you care for the insects and bacteria you trample with every step you take?" The Hydra smiled with a tilt of her head, her pearly white fangs gleaming.
The others' reactions upon hearing those words were mixed. Some realized that the Hydra considered them the same way they thought about ants and accepted it. It wasn't strange. The Hydra had the strength and right to have such a mind.
It could be used to their advantage.
Others realized the same thing but rejected the notion. They were angered by it.
"Yes, actually. I make sure to take care when I walk just for that reason." One person was unbothered by it and focused on the literal meaning of the Hydra's words. It was Zach.
"If I can't avoid walking over an ant or whatever it may be, I make sure to give it a barrier that I can walk on instead."
"..."
