Even if he did unseal them to fight them, the first experience of the relentless pursuit of a ghoul as taught him the lesson not to mess with them. He can lead a single ghoul around but doing that with a million of them sounds like a good way to court unnecessary death.
He took one last look at Rinoz before leaving resentfully. "This Rinoz will get what's coming for her. She managed to take the fun out of the ghouls."
He doesn't regret unsealing the ghouls since they served their purpose well. But he doesn't like that Rinoz has commandeered them away from the purpose he had for them. He unsealed them to create chaos and death in the plane but Rinoz is robbing him of his fun.
The other clones tried to encourage him.
"At least we now know why the Rinoz was thanking you when you were about to unseal the ghouls. Knowledge is always welcomed."
"We also know what fate awaits pawns. We must never become the pawn of anyone."
"We already knew that. It is common sense to us. Fenrir's death has not enlightened us about it."
"What I find funny is that while Rinoz might feel bad for killing her mentor, she won't take the blame for his death. She will probably blame someone else for forcing her hand while she was the one that killed him."
"What a naive girl."
"She is a naive girl with a lot of power."
"I wonder what she will do with all that power."
"As long as she creates enough Chaos in the plane, I will be okay with her taking control of the ghouls."
The clones chatted within Ragnarok's mind as he resumed his hunt for the Primogenitors. His mind is always filled with thoughts from sources other than his own. They are his constant companions. The only time they ever stopped actively communicating with him was when a certain demon god decided to inhabit his body. Apart from that dreadful period, he is never alone.
-----
The plane was thrown into chaos as Ragnarok wished for. And for once, Ragnarok is just a side character in the chaos. None of it is his fault. At least not anymore. He may have started it but Rinoz has chosen to finish it.
He doesn't know much since he is busy with hunting, but what he has heard was an eye-opener.
He couldn't help but exclaim when he heard it. "That little naive girl grew some backbone and went crazy. Good for her."
Apparently, Rinoz went on a murdering spree and was killing wood elves throughout the plane. The fountain of life didn't take kindly to such wanton slaughter. It condemned her and Ragnarok. It called them the twin stars of doom.
Ragnarok wasn't offended by the condemnation. He thought to himself, "The Star of Doom. I like that."
His surprise didn't end there. He was surprised again when the fountain of life tried to recruit him to its cause. It offered a lot of things to him but Ragnarok didn't care for them.
The fountain of life didn't offer him a way out of the plane so he didn't bother to listen to it. He focused on what he could get his greedy paws on without much complications. His preferred game right now is the Primogenitors. Asking him to help get rid of Rinoz is not on his agenda. Not when she is in control of the ghouls.
It was not a difficult decision for him when he decided to turn down the fountain of life. Unlike what everyone believes, he was not born less than 10,000 years ago. He has more life experience and wisdom than that. So he knew that there was something fishy when the fountain of life asked him to kill Rinoz.
He would have refused to help even if he didn't know that Rinoz had taken control of the ghouls because the last he heard, the fountain of life and the child of the plane were allies. But something happened to turn them against each other such that they now want to kill each other. And when he asked what this thing could be, the fountain of life evaded his question.
He had said, "So you want me to get into the middle of this like some headless chicken who doesn't have any brain and doesn't know its right from its left? I don't know why you are fighting but I am to join in and pick sides? Count me out please."
The fountain of life didn't tell him what turned them against each other. It had to be something big for the fountain of life to overcome its hatred for him and come to ask him for help. After all, the last time they spoke, the fountain of life promised to chase him all over the plane and kill him. Now it is asking for his help.
As flattering as that was, he said no to the request. The most important reason is the army of Ghouls that surrounds Rinoz at all times. They are enough to deter him from having any ideas about her. So he stuck to killing and eating primogenitors. He used his Ghoulish method of hunting to kill Primogenitors.
In other words, he made sure that a Ghoul had attached itself to the Primogenitor. Then he would waltz in to take advantage of the unfortunate situation. Most of them falsely accused him of plotting their demise. He always denied it.
Just because he made a ghoul find them and attack them so that he could kill them easily doesn't mean it is his fault that they are going to die. He likes killing them but It is all the demon god's fault.
If he had his way, he would be out of the plane already, not chasing after Primogenitors like some hound. But beggars can't be choosers. He is just making the best out of an unfortunate situation. He shouldn't be blamed for trying to make a living in these trying times.
