Moloch glanced around where they were standing and sighed a long breath before speaking. "Winter has been good to you every time you survive it."
Moloch had a perspective where survival, no matter how it came or the outcome, was a victory.
"Many entities have imprisoned me, for a time, but sorrow, fear, and death can only be kept at bay for a short time." He always found ways to escape and maneuver around anything that kept him contained. Lucifer was the only one who managed to direct him effectively but his methods were far different than most. "I have seen a vast amount of time as the tenth thing to exist in creation."
Perhaps he is arrogant over that point but there's cynicism to having lived so long drowning in despair. Cricket is right that Moloch never asked to be created and he certainly never wanted to be an angel of darkness, the only one in Heaven.
"I'm not sorry." Moloch brought a more serious tone to bear with these words. "God is a fool when he thought he could bend the darkness against the light. Only the ignorant or self aggrandizing would create two things in union and expect them to destroy one another."
He was talking about himself and Lucifer. He was the Dark and Lucifer the Light. They existed in constant companionship and conflict but one would not survive without the other at this point in the game, or Moloch thought that was true at least.
