I've noticed ALOT of people got that idea and I could see why if certain plot points were being ignored or missed. If Hyd wanted the world flooded as an evil act why have/allow Minifillia to stop it? It was already know the WoLs in the 1st were being manipulated to eradicate all darkness but it wasn't by Hyd
