On Themis [6.4 SPOILER]

[tokinokanatae]

Venat knew, or at worst made an educated guess that the ancients couldn't handle Endsinger so she took a chance on us. Her intention was to prepare humanity to face Endsinger.
Athena at that point didn't know that the Final Days were coming. Her intention was not to prepare humanity to face Endsinger.

The question was not whether or not Athena knew about the Endsinger, the question was that if her tinkering with the Ancients had made them resilient to the Endsinger’s attack, would her goals then be justified? Remember, her justification was that Ancients were weak and she wanted to improve them.

No.

Both to 'would it be justified' and 'would it have made them resilient to the Endsinger'.

No.

Cool.

and 'would it have made them resilient to the Endsinger'.

Unrelated to the actual question, but also cool.

Look, I'm not going to object to the wedding and I hope you're both happy, but don't expect me to stay for the reception.

I can see why. She is a very fascinating villain.

(A little disappointed by her final form, though. Was I misguided for hoping for some terrible, Cthulhu-like eldritch abomination after the previous tiers and feeling a little wronged? I thought the extreme depths of her moral depravity might shatter SE's heretofore unrelenting need to give every female-coded villain the same obvious physical characteristics, but alas.)
