[Spoilers] Why Zenos is the most important character moving forward

[Daralii]

I am pretty much 99.9% sure Elidibus is going to massively regret using Zenos though, this is like biggest mistake level stuff. He made the choice to enable him in a very desperate, cornered-animal way where there was no plan to speak of beyond “go wreck stuff”

I'm pretty sure that's all he wants. His monologue on the moon was really just him lamenting his loneliness and how events had spiraled too far out of control for him to predict or influence toward any kind of goal. He's a broken man running on spite.

I do agree with you, but I also think he underestimates what telling Zenos to go wreck stuff means.

I'm trying to think of the best way to put this lol... basically, I think Emet-Selch dying/the First being saved would be like Elidibus being stabbed. He's pretty upset about being stabbed and thinks things can't possibly get worse. Except then he basically gives the knife to Zenos, and Zenos is someone liable to twist it.

I don't think he realizes that things can still get worse. Zenos is very much worse, now potentially on a cosmic scale beyond all reckoning for everyone.

All that said, I suspect that if there's any saving grace to be found for Elidibus it's probably with Unukalhai. And even if that's not the case, I'm veeeeeery curious how Unukalhai is going to tie into future events.
