Particularly as Cloud made to rush towards Kalki, Sephiroth had felt a distinct need to intervene but as then others followed and Kalki switched with Lust's position it was all brought to nothing before he could react. Of course she were still able to body switch like that, it had been one of the first abilities of hers that they'd learned about.
Though the itch to begin this final confrontation began to grow to where it couldn't be ignored, Sephiroth again found that his blade was stayed by the powerful interpretation that was then presented. That concept of evolution and how it was forever denied by fear, drew all sorts of comparisons from his own experiences too. The advent of mako as an energy source, the first infusion of a human being with which it brought improved strength...agility. Easily it was extended as a purpose for his own existence; the product of many such experiments with a foreign entity, a victory against the fear of the unknown. Surely then, it would be fear itself that was being presented as the ultimate enemy here.
But at what cost?
Pushing evolution forward in such a direct way that Kalki were now proposing, was arguably as unnatural as the cycle which had been put in place to keep Crystallis alive.
"So by creating a world without life or death, you seek to create a world without fear and thus removing any barriers toward continued evolution of whatever beings come to inhabit it...." Sephiroth wasn't sure he had it entirely right but he muttered along to himself at least in an attempt to get his thoughts in order. He certainly hadn't come into Pandaemonium thinking he would need to make sure he could conjure such more philosophical terms to his mind, it gave the stirrings of a headache, given that his body was still very much in it's combat mode-
"...but eventually they would come to destroy that God that you would put in place. A larger cycle would then likely continue. In millennia from now, we might well find ourselves in exactly this same position. Hence one cycle evolves into another...."
