The fact that Elidibus just pulled himself back up, whilst having severely weakened the WoL, isn't hinting to me that he's shown the full extent of his power, although he concedes that you are a powerful WoL and that Hydaelyn chose well. He used a small subset of the abilities the Overlords typically possess, and some of Zenos's, which I found interesting. It does seem like original Zenos is setting himself up for a rather wild ride, though. The bigger issue I had with Elidibus's portrayal is that Solus is just playing him for a fool, especially if the Emperor in that scene was Solus. Elidibus is no idiot. He's also not lost his composure or level headedness, and yet Solus does appear to be working some manner of deceit upon him.

Regarding Solus, there were prior cutscenes in 4.5 implying that he may be headed to the Source to wreak some havoc with the Black Rose, the production of which has only now begun. To me it looks like Solus has taken hold of Varis and is intent on causing as much chaos as he can on both worlds. I am also anticipating that he will betray Elidibus
In accordance with the law:
Elidibus's objective was to kill us it seems off if he weren't putting everything behind the attempt he had he only got an opening thanks to us being called so either he was holding back being counter productive to his objective of killing us or he is indeed that weak while possessing Zenos's body both are not favorable to him.

If the Emperor Varis is possessed by Solus that just adds to Elidibus's downgrade as an very calculating individual but we do know Varis will do whatever is needed to lessen garlean casualties even deploying black rose so it could be either way if he is possessed or not i'm inclined to say yes due to that face
