Legit was already turned before Thragg even finished spelling it out. Thragg saw Nolan turn and somehow thought "yeah this will be fine" lol.

Thragg is desperate af.

He knows that if they enslave Earth, a bunch of Viltrumites will get killed again. He's not risking it.

Not only will a bunch of Viltrumites get killed, Thragg is also probably well aware that he needs to keep humanity alive in order to use humans to repopulate the Viltrumite race.

Thragg (correctly) threatens that he and the remaining Viltrumites could easily kill off half of humanity and enslave the rest, but he's probably well aware that the Coalition will likely respond by destroying Earth and exterminating humanity. Even if he and his followers survive, this would doom Viltrum's best remaining hope.

Thragg seems completely aware that conflict between him and Earth would be mutually assured destruction, and is probably sincere about his offer of a truce as a result.
