"This is exactly what father taught me. He once sealed my power, allowing me to experience ten years of mortal life.
I have witnessed the struggles and poverty of mortal life. Each mortal strives hard to survive. As for the civilians of enemy countries you just mentioned, I think you are wrong.
The only ones who harbor malice towards me are the rulers of these countries. They fear my existence, but the citizens are innocent and unaware of me. They hold no enmity or evil thoughts towards me and should not be harmed or impacted by the war driven by their rulers."
