I'm still working out what we do to fix it, but that is my current theory thus far.
What if...it's backwards? Zenos is actually going to fuse with Hydaelyn, and wants us to fuse with Zodiark. Zodiark was such a powerful opponent that Hydaelyn could only cleave him into parts, making him a dangerous foe that Zenos would want to conquer, and using Hyadelyn would prevent any tricks such as just splitting Zodiark to make him weaker, something he'd be aware we could use against him if we used Hydaelyn. Zenos would have full control over that power, forcing it out of play and could essentially force a fight on the grandest stage of all, with the WoL using a god of immeasurable power against Zenos, who is bringing out Hydaelyn's true power in another form. It would also play as a form of divine irony, we having to use Zodiark, the thing we've been preventing from awakening, against Hydaelyn, the thing we've been actively helping.
