Their ultimate goal is to resurrect Zodiark, then have him fuse with Hydaelyn back into the (supposed) primordial dawn / twilight god(dess), which would indeed keep things balanced.

The Ascians would probably tip things back toward Light on a Shard world (or the Source) if they absolutely had to; Dark-flooded worlds are useless to them (see the Void).
