A Proposal.

Mother High Heaven wasn't so optimistic about his situation. She said with pity, "I am afraid you have underestimated the power of dragons." 

Legion-8 heard the pity in her tone, but he asked stubbornly, "What else am I to do except fight?" 

He could surrender, but he is not going to do that. He is not going to allow the dragon spirit to bind his heart. Surrendering is practically dying for him. If he is to die, then he will rather die fighting.

Besides, he has something powerful to rely on. As long as world gods don't join in the fight, he should be able to do what he needs to hatch and escape from the dragons. 

Mother High Heaven answered his question. "There is an alternative for you other than surrendering or fighting to the death. I can help you escape. But you will have to do something for me." 

"Oh. You can help me? I thought you couldn't act in undue favor of anyone at all."
