And if it is saved then all will be saved. In the event that the WoL do fail she wanted to save as many as she can from the source so that our people will not be extinct. If Venat is a god that has the power to save everyone then she would have the power to end meteion back when we first encountered her in elpis. Meteion would not have escaped Venat, Hydo and Emet.

Hydaelyn and Zodiark are just powerful primals as well that may seem like a god but really isn't. And they are certainly not all powerful cosmic beings that can create and destroy universes.

In the end, Venat's faith of what she has seen so far of our WoL will be able to defeat Meteion paid off which is better than sacrificing her entire people to zodiark who may keep meteion at bay for a few thousand more years but will inevitably get overwhelmed as well.
You’re assuming their only plan would be to keep feeding Zodiark. Again, i don’t know how many times i need to repeat myself. She isn’t a god no, but she had KNOWLEDGE of what was going to happen. She purposely kept this a SECRET.She only really confronted them AFTER the final days hit. I don’t know what’s so hard to understand. She did have the power to try and stop Meteion. She chose not to do it. She instead did the very thing the theme goes against and gave up hope on her own people. That’s the problem with all of this. We can argue night and day of oh well her telling them wouldn’t change a thing but we have so much proof they would have been able to do something. They even have a literal entire facility they could use to hone their dynamis.
