Unfortunately you almost did change events that much but got lucky.

They are arguably more powerful than you as well, considering you are using borrowed aether to sustain a being of their size. They call you a familiar because they actually think they can get rid of you like that.

Now if you did attack them you might unleash a trial the size of which we see when we fight them later on, except they would have a lot of help. All the people in Elpis would be against you.

Not to mention, Meteion disappears. If you were to attack them, they would reappear, completely fixed. They have an ability to transform into other shapes.

Hermes would not be stopped easily because he is an Ascian and you are (almost) a familiar.
Technicalities aside, you do hold your own against Venat, who seems to be able to 1v20 them in the cinematic later on. Also I doubt Hermes has any sort of superhuman reflexes, and nobody is stronger than a blade in the back if they don't have time to put up barriers etc, I reckon. They're strong wizards, not Kryptonians.

But yeah, you can see the "I summoned doom from space out of curiosity" coming from a mile away. Also what's Zenos' deal? He seems completely unaffected by the world's end. The poor creatures are trapped on that planet with him xD
