Roman's confusion was palpable as he asked, "Wait, I mean, you're Earth, couldn't you just kill them? I'm sure it would have taken less than a second." He couldn't fathom why Earth wouldn't eliminate the threat, especially given her immense power.
Earth's gaze locked onto Roman's, her eyes piercing and intense. "Everything that exists has a purpose, Roman," she began, her voice low and measured. "I have mine, my job is to protect my residences, I do not have the ability to kill humans, not because I don't have the power to, but rather, the law of the universe orders me to."
Roman's mind reeled as he struggled to comprehend the boundaries of Earth's power. He couldn't imagine being unable to defend himself against those who sought to harm him.
