Alvis (Xenoblade Chronicles) & Zanza (Xenoblade Chronicles)

Alvis (Xenoblade Chronicles), Zanza (Xenoblade Chronicles)

Alvis cannot end the world. Alvis cannot restart the cycle.

He is the instrument by which the restart is performed, but if he is machine, some human hand is required to push the button.

The ideal, perhaps, would be to produce a mechanism by which Alvis himself could be destroyed in the great reset, such that Zanza would have naught in the way of additional materials, matrices, with-in which to acquire additional sustenance.

How else to prevent the Ontos core from being used as a tool?

How else to win?

Zanza cannot restart the cycle. Zanza cannot end the world.
