Marcella couldn't lie in that situation. Divine Demon had already seen her grin, and her feelings were evident. She was enjoying that struggle against an opponent capable of matching her boundless energy.

"I am a monster," Marcella eventually admitted. "I was a monster even before your birth. That doesn't make us equals."

"You are right," Divine Demon stated. "This exchange is making us equals."

"You have yet to win," Marcella pointed out. "You have yet to win a single exchange."

"I have already won," Divine Demon laughed. "I forced one of Heaven and Earth's best pawns to forget her higher purpose. How does it feel to fight to prove yourself superior to your opponent?"

"You are speaking nonsense," Marcella scoffed.
