On the one hand, they wanted the knowledge. But on the other hand, they didn't want to offer information that was too important. They are especially concerned about this after they saw the reaction of the angel of knowledge to the earlier information about the pathway of creation and the pathway of destruction.
They had tried to make their information reliable and important, but it appeared that they went too far in making it important. They don't want to repeat this mistake, which is why they decided to take their time figuring out what to say next.
After thinking for some time, Legion-4 figured out the information that they could give. But he wanted to know if the information was valuable or not.
So he asked the angel of knowledge, "Do you know how many pathways there are?"
The angel didn't reply. Instead, he became quiet as he ruminated on what to say and do concerning this question.
