But did it have to be the ENTIRE Expansion? Her Arc was pretty much done after she was crowned (or arguably after ZoraalJas Bossfight).
What exactly is her role after that in the story?

The entire conflict about Sphene and Alexandria was about how the few Endless are draining so much either, that they basically have o drain all the shards, destroying all life on them.
This is a problem in the league of what the Worrior of Light and Scions are usually dealing with.
Why is WukLamats so important here? Why was it not Erenville and Krile who supported us against Sphene? They had to delete their parents, they have more emotional "stakes" in this than WukLamat.

Please elaborate why she absolutley HAD to be front and center until the very end, I honestly don't understand.

Principally, it's because Sphene's philosophy as a ruler directly mirrors Lamat's, and the natural conclusion of her arc is to confront the failings of the logical extremes of that philosophy to better serve her people. Also, I think it would be far more strange if she was directly involved in the plot for 99% of the story and then just evaporates for the final confrontation.

How does WL philosophy "mirror" that of Sphenes?
Sphene fights for the survival of her people and is willing to kill other worlds for it.
Wuk Lamat fights Spehne for the survivel of HER people and deletes/kills all the Endless.

Or is the "killing of the other" the moral failing you speak of?
Cause imho thats simply a battle for survival, one there is no good or bad side (even WL didnt put blame on Sphene for it).

Or is the "moral failing" that Sphene didn't have sympathy for the shard's which she planned to destroy for survival?
Is WL the "mirror" because she tried to "know" the people she HAS to genocide? Does that make her a "better ruler"?

WL doesnt really have any choice in that regard, the same as Sphene. Both have to do what they must to protect their own people, at the cost of the other side.

Again, if she was a side character, dealing with the "being a ruler part" and with US dealing with the existencial threat, then that would be fine.
But even in the final trial, she HAD to take the spotlight.
Why are WE, the Warrior of Light, even present, when WL does all the important stuff?
