If she only wanted to keep the seal intact on Zodiark, she'd have been absorbing Aether from other sources to keep the seal intact. But she hasn't taken any Aether from any of the shards, she seems to have been running out of power, as Lahabrea stated back in Praetorium way back in 2.0. Her sole purpose wasn't just to keep Zodiark in check, but it is indeed one of the purposes behind her summoning.


Considering it only effected the planet since otherworldly visitors are common...I'd say they weren't on the planet when it happened.
The thing is , Lahabrea also calls her a parasite. The question being how do we know she hasn’t been taking aether? She’s been awfully quiet and she is quite literally plugged into the aetherial sea. I don’t think we can really even make a notion on Hydaelyn herself because she too is an anomaly like Venat. Is she acting on her own will because her heart left her? She’s also on auto pilot as far as we know constantly ringing out her message. There’s a lot of suspicious things tied to it.
