SPOILERS: After Endwalker... I have some questions

[RyuDragnier]

I think the second part of this story is going to be about "What the heck Azem was doing, when all of this going on?" Why did he/she betrayed their best friends for not supporting Zordiak and why they went against their mentor. Was there is a threat that was greather than Meteia and her song?

Besides there is one question that I am dying to figure out, I know that Zodiark was not in full power when we faced him but since we defeated him, we still have Zodiark power still split into five shards (six shards if you count the Thirteenth) so what would happen to that power?

Considering what happens on the Source effects all the shards, it's likely Zodiark will fade from all the shards as well.

Yes, this was actually a head-scratcher for me after I spent some time reviewing the cutscenes towards the end. If a certain character gave themselves to summon Zodiark, and was likely split with Zodiark (going by the sequence of events: Initial summoning/sacrifice, 2nd sacrifice, sundering to prevent 3rd sacrifice), how did that character have access to creation magic in that particular cutscene? Nice to see that I wasn't the only one considering the that whole as source, so shard effect that was implied. Thank you!
