But unlike Zodiark whose souls actually got lost and/or still remain in the moon as mindless echoes, Hydaelyn's actions preserved the lives that existed, even if it meant splintering them. Sure, they lost their people as a result, but that was going to happen either way, and it's not like anyone was handling the apocalypse well at all.

>.> also that isn't about me mentioning "conqueror wants to genocide a whole people" thing I said before, is it? Because I just used that as an example. The beast tribes, Werylt and Bozja have that, for example.
The annihilation of culture is still genocide and Venat murdered the people alive at the time and at best remade them into something new inhabiting weaker failures bodies and inhabiting a crueller more brutal world and Venat had a fetish for sufffering and everyone had to suffer to justify her evil ideology

Also the sacrifice falls apart in EW, it made sense in ShB that the races we see in the game may have been created during the second sacrifice when the world was set to right. But now all the player races are ancients souls reworking there bodies to deal with the effects of being sundered so there's no people to sacrifice
