Okay.

Zodiark's main reason for creation was aether stabilization. It was capable of other things, but the literal reason it was summoned was to create a stable aether atmosphere, and the second sacrifice was to fuel a stabilization of the world's aether.

Unlike several of the other things put on Zodiark's plate by the Ascians, this one actually is right up Zodiark's alley in terms of required tasks, it's a remix of the original requirements, on a theoretically smaller scale. Why wouldn't they use Zodiark for that, and why wouldn't a 12/13 nearly-complete Zodiark be able to do 1/14 of his original job? And given every other great act of Zodiark needed sacrifices, why wouldn't this one? The Ascians wouldn't be super inclined to use Zodiark's internal energies even if they could, since the whole mission statement is to save the lives inside it.
