Imagine nowadays if some fringe group basically said we are doing this, wiped out the entire population, and then set up people that schooled whatever remained in how they should act. That was basically what Venat did. It drives me nuts that the story treats it as okay because the Ancients were apparently beyond saving (because we are constantly told no one is without hope). They had just gone through serious trauma, of course they were not exactly doing well at the time. Venat had no right to decide for an entire population what they should do. Even worse than that, she decided, and then killed everyone.

As for Ancient creations not reaching Meteion... Are we forgetting that Meteion herself was an Ancient creation? I am sure that if the best minds of the time were actually allowed to study the problem they could have come up with something. Sunder themselves purposefully, or make more creations for the purpose of going and fighting her. I dunno. They were never given that choice though. They were never told what was going to happen. Venat just sort of decided her people were not worth saving and genocided he lot of them to make way for new planets full of people she found more palatable led by gods she put there instead of one she apparently didn't like as much.

I would also like to point out that her Sundered worlds also require constant maintenance too. If we do not pray to the Twelve, the stabalising mechanism put in place will fail. So really, saying she is better than Zodiark rings hollow.

Also sorry, I would have quoted you in full but the forum text limits are draconian.
