And as we’ve seen, especially with this expansion, the writers have been incredibly flawed on many things. Also, they didn’t seem wholly devoted to Zodiark, as even whilst being fully tempered by him the Convocation was still skeptical on sacrifices and were in disagreement over it. So clearly they still had their own will through everything. They still were thinking about the star even after being tempered. Even Lahabrea says it lol.
