He looked ready to do anything that Loki asks for, but Loki sneered and said to him, "Continue to pretend and be cocky all you want. Isn't it because you think I can't do anything to your Cave Heaven as long as you don't summon it? We will see if this is true or not."
Instead of being cowed, the mind hunter sneered back at Loki as he folded his hands across his chest and said, "Let me see what you can do to me. I'm here. Do your worst."
"Just because you're a divine being, you think you can bully me? Just want to see. When I return to my divine position, I will make you regret this."
At this point, he has had enough of Loki. He, too, has his self-respect and a threshold of humiliation that he can withstand. Loki has breached that threshold of humiliation, so he has decided to stop being humble.
