The Ascians can't make up their minds when it comes to the WoL...(Major Spoilers)

[Exodus-E]

First they wanted us dead (2.0).
Then they wanted us to become stronger by defeating empowered Primals (2.1-2.5).
And now that we've grown too strong, we're a threat to them again (3.0)?

The hell? Is there something I'm missing here?

Because if they really wanted us gone, then why not finish us off whenever we were vulnerable?

I know that all of this could've been traced back to both, Nabriales and Lahabrea (being the arrogant bastards that they are) vastly underestimating us out of their own contempt of the "children of man" at large, but really...they kind of brought it upon themselves.

And now it seems that they're desperate enough as to call upon someone called the "Warrior of Darkness".
Yeah, let's see how well that will work out for them...
