Alright, good to know all Sphene had to do was turn us into meatball to solve the issue. Beside the reason you can consume food to recover Aether is cause, you know, whatever you cooked to do a meal used to be alive (or part of something alive in case of fruits), that Aether still come from consuming others in the end. The only point im trying to make here is that technically in lore everyone consume living Aether and as such you can't really blame the Endless for that.

The moral issue here is more about the fact Sphene just decide to ''canibalise'' the entire world and it shards rather to try and find a more resonable solution.

And that where most story telling complain come from. They tried to do a ''Ancient 2.0'' situation but did an horrible job at it. They wanted to tell a story about the circle of life and how breaking it is bad, but forgot we're in a universe where Primals and dragon exist. They wrote the Endless as Data, forgetting that Omnicron (and Omega) are sentient AI/data. In fact, want me to solve the whole Endless moral issue? Omnicron used to be non robot being that uploaded their mind into a computer, turning them into robots and AI. so you know, We could just have turned them into new omnicron at that point.


Like, I can even think of a way to keep the story similar to how it is with the same conclusion while solving all the lore and moral issues.
