Edit: I might be being a bit flippant with this but I struggle with how Venats actions were good, the actions she takes is beyond extreme with both how she treated her own people and what she did to the people she left in the wake of her actions.
Both are extreme by necessity. Zodiark was the most powerful being to exist in Etheirys and Meteion the universe (that we know of, there’s of course other the chance future developments change things). Accomplishing both restraining Zodiark and giving humanity the chance to fight against Meteion we’re both solved but the Sundering. If she succeeds humanity and all life flourishes. If she fails, the universe ends. To me, I see her actions as not kind or particularly good (as in fun, enjoyable, etc.) , but necessary. Sundering the planet, and I know I’m not popular for saying it, was to help humanity. In this way it’s not evil.

Yes it was very ostentatious. And yknow what, I’d say find someone who wouldn’t refer to themselves like that. Whether out of necessity or a simply a product of becoming a primal. Elidibus certainly didn’t pass that test.

Either Sunder or accept death, which is better to you Theodoric. If the latter is more moral to you I’ll respect that. But let’s lay the dilemma out on the table.

Oh now she’s responsible for the Rejoinings! Leaving a crack for Emet somehow means that she’s the one responsible, despite resisting the Rejoinings and failing seven times. She totally forced Emet and Lahabrea and Eldiibus to kill those people. She totally knew Emet would be with Lahabrea and Elidibus at that moment, knew they would escape and manipulated them to kill billions.

Totally.
