If Venat could make an entire moon with a moon base, or Lahabrea his own personal "Hell", and indeed Hermes/Fandaniel could make Meteion, I just don't find it hard to believe they could make something dynamis powered and entirely void of emotions (aka immune to despair).

Personally, I had HOPED the Omega project was Ascian based as an attempt to do just that only it failed- as in Meteion simply can not be defeated using force and it took emotion to beat her (power of friendship, and all). Where the Omegas lost, and (wrongly) decided the only way to defeat her in a rematch was to fight other things and get stronger.
The ancients never learned what hit them, they only knew that the aether currents were stagnating, and so created Zodiark to fix that... they were only treating the symptoms without curing the disease, if Venat had told what she knew they probably could have solved the problem, maybe sent a hit squad of powerful familiars to follow Venat's beacon and defeat meteion like she sent a hit squad of sundered after millenia of meteion getting stronger
