@Wyz'Ard Arogoa Assuming that everyone receives their powers at the same time, creating and somehow teleporting a symbiote to me (the fastest way you can infect me) will take some time, however long or short the duration, while my Preemptive Adaptation will take effect instantly, so I will have already adapted Contaminant Immunity before your symbiotes can even reach me. And a battle of attrition against me would be a lost cause because I could adapt something like Energy Independence if I decide to stay and fight, or Imperceptibility and casually walk away from the battlefield, never to be seen again.

As I said, I'd be a neutral party that remains passive unless disturbed, so stopping you was never my intention to begin with and I can't think of a way you could defeat me since my main power lets me adapt to threats before they happen. That's why my counteroffer was meant more as an agreement of reciprocal nonintervention between us rather than a threat.
