The way the amaurotines were heading, they would have by default, created something they couldn't unmake that leads to their own destruction or continually experiementing on every avenue of life till they had nothing left to question (cause they technically had the resources and time to do this)
For all the focus the Plenty gets as a possible ending, it's strange to me that people forget that Venat has made it more likely that the other two "dead ends" could occur at some point in the future of Etheirys, even if the Plenty is less likely (or has been completely averted). Whether Etheirys dies to plague, bomb, or suicide monster--or something else entirely--Venat did not forestall the ending in and of itself.
