Mortis didn't react to Gravis' comment as he teleported away.

Mortis was incredibly powerful, and his affinity for power was insane. When it came to the pursuit of power, Mortis was probably even superior to Gravis.

However, Mortis' personality was too black and white.

In his mind, there were only the neutral ones, the ones that he considered enemies, and the ones he considered friends. There was no nuance to his categorization of other beings.

Arc's words didn't impact Gravis at all, even though they had forced Mortis to retreat into thinking.
