^ This. There was never a fair test that Hermes gave them. The Ancients were missing crucial information that they'd need to 'pass the test'. And even if they did know that information, how did Hermes think they would be able to get to Meteion to stop her and thus survive? (I personally think they could do it if Venat told them everything, but Hermes' intention was for no one to know anything) The 'test' was rigged from the start. All of the measures Hermes takes to ensure 'fairness' made the 'test' less fair. How is anyone supposed to pass a test they don't even know they are taking? The solution of Zodiark was the only one they could possibly have come up with. If they're not aware of what's causing it, and thus cannot stop it, their best option is to protect themselves.

Then Venat gets upset that the Ancients didn't somehow telepathically read her mind and figure it all out, so she kills them all for being upset that they had their home robbed from them. Remember kids, suffering is a desirable thing! You should want to suffer! Why aren't you suffering hard enough!? Sundering for you!
