"Why give it life and intelligence?"
Cillian hadn't expected what was now a Brain worm in Damons domain to ask him such a question.
Truth be told, he had never taken this creature too seriously. The only reason he had captured it was because he believed a great deal of knowledge could be found within a swarm's will-node like this. At the very least, he could analyze part of the hive will's structure through it. That was why he had gone out of his way to seize the creature in the first place.
As for why he had given it life and wisdom…
"Lord, are you going to answer it?"
"I'm sorry to take up your time, but this brain worm… it's quite an interesting fellow indeed," said Damon.
At that moment, the brain worm was being analyzed under Damon's supervision. It was clear that the creature had no ability to resist. The only reason Damon had helped transmit its message to the Lord of the Abyss was out of curiosity, and some faint, indescribable feeling of pity mingled with affection.
