    As Elidibus sent us back in time to Elpis, there was some critical realization that gave him peace in his final moments. Whatever that realization was is likely the point of the Pandaemonium raid series.

    I think that if this story was primarily just about Lahabrea and Athena, then Elidibus' involvement in Pandaemonium would be superfluous, as Eric serves the same narrative function. I think we're going to encounter Azem, at least incognito, and get at least a partial explanation of what happened to them. And there's likely something in that event that shaped Elidibus' determination and made it deeply personal, even before he became the Heart of Zodiark. I think his promise was to protect the planet in Azem's stead.

    With Pandaemonium now also existing in the present timeline, there's likely a threat to the star within Tartarus that has persisted into the present day. If I had to guess, I'd say it was the original Blasphemy. It's the only area that we hadn't cleansed yet in the role quests.

    I'm betting money that Athena was the original Blasphemy. She did wish to know everything, and if she had a similar discovery like the Ea that made her go into despair, it would have triggered the original transformation. And if there was an original timeline and Azem was there in Pandaemonium instead of us, they would have been able to put 2 and 2 together. I have a sneaking suspicion that Pandaemonium likely always existed in the Lifestream and close to the Underworld itself, as anything that broke out of Pandaemonium would just be drawn into the Lifestream and ripped apart by it.
