Can I just ask- WHEN did Venat/Hyd make the moon?

I mean... how much power did that take? Where did the technology come from?

If she was that powerful, why not just erect an Aetheric barrier around the planet to shield it? It seems like the planet generates a massive amount of Aether, so instead of creating a whole moon, etc... why not just bubble the world?

The whole thing seems so unnecessary and far-fetched. It was a fun story, for sure. It just seemed... forced.
