I know Fandaniel seems just as crazy or even moreso, but if he's tempered even he has no motivation to do that. Nevermind the rest of the surviving Ascians.
The Ascians have been working toward summoning/reviving Zodiark. They need an 8th calamity/rejoining and the WOL has stopped the from accomplishing this every time. Furthermore, I'm not sure Zenos needs to burn everything down like a madman, as the 5.1-5.3 patches have clearly shown they have plan and preparing to go their "hunting ground" which is somewhere not the Empire. And the "power" that Zodiark possess is the ability to rewrite the laws of reality and once the 8th rejoining takes place he will be strong enough to escape the moon and then he will rejoin all the shards making himself fully powered. If I was Zenos, the path to victory is pretty clear and involves Zodiark.
