If he knew who this being was, would he have asked in the first place?!
The logic of that was airtight and the being knew it and had answered anyway, which meant the answer wasn't meant to inform him. It was meant to do something else.
He just didn't know what yet.
'What I want aligns with what you want.'
That one was worse. Because it was too deliberate to be dismissed. A being at this level , something that had reached through Velmora's sealed spatial barrier like it was gauze, something that had crushed his aura at every height it had achieved without apparent effort , didn't make careless statements. If it had said that, it had chosen to say that.
Which meant either it was true, or it wanted him to believe it was true.
He didn't know which possibility unnerved him more.
