There is a good point to the above statement. As cliche as it sounds, the game has changed and now Elidibus and the other Ascians are having trouble keeping a hold on the strings and may have lost control completely.

Two of the three Unbroken have been killed (Lahabrea and Emet-Selch) and they might not be replaceable because unlike the Broken Ascians, they haven't existed as shards.

The current WoL is fully capable of killing Ascians, but (possibly) more important is the fact that the WoL is the reincarnation of an Ascian, and has fused with Ardbert who was the WoL's counterpart AND another shard of the Ascian soul. We don't know how that changes the WoL (if it changes things at all). And said soul is implied to be the 14th and final Ascian Convocation member (the Ascian Order trying to bring about rejoinings are the other 13) who did not support the creation of Zodiak and refused to aid in the summoning.

And then there's Zenos...who's a loose cannon with an incredibly strong (and STABLE) artificial Echo, Ascian powers, and his own agenda.

Elidibus flat out says he can't predict where things are going and implies that for right now, he's just hanging on for the ride.
