[Quranic Reflection]: The tolerance the Quran gave non-believers

[Deesse23]

Sura 2, The Quran:
https://quran.ksu.edu.sa/index.php?l=en#aya=2_187

2:190  Fight in the way of Allah those who fight you but do not transgress. Indeed. Allah does not like transgressors.

2:191 And slay them wherever ye find them, and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution is worse than slaughter. And fight not with them at the Inviolable Place of Worship until they first attack you there, but if they attack you (there) then slay them. Such is the reward of disbelievers.

Help me understand this: so Muslims have no right to deter aggression by fighting back with the condition of ceasing if the other side ceases, as 2:192 of the Quran stated?

It doesnt say "fight back" and no ,it doesnt say "deter agression". It says "slay them wherever ye find them" and then repeats by saying "but if they attack you then slay them".
How do you reconcile that with "but do not transgress"?
