The Abyssal Scrounger was amused.
It knew that humans could be arrogant. According to the information it got from its creators, it knew how they viewed themselves in high esteem, especially compared to other species. They saw their intelligence as their strongest suit, believing themselves to be superior to most other species.
They believed that even with a physical disadvantage, it was only a matter of time before they created something to bridge the gap and become greater than their opponents.
It was a cute ideology, no matter how naive.
Hence, when Osho had essentially put himself on a platter, the Abyssal Scrounger was, admittedly, surprised, but not shocked.
However, it did still hesitate for a fraction of a second. The pure surety in his eyes was a bit off-putting. It was easy to differentiate between confidence and arrogance, and with the way Osho spoke, it was as though his victory was a foregone conclusion.
