Thanatos reaches out with Merios's help, using all the energy he can to shield as many people as he can with Merios's reassurance towards a certain individual. He may not be able to reach them all and maybe not in time to protect them from everything, but he tries. (ie. Player's choice for a shield and/or getting shielded in time)
He'll try to give Emporio a shield nearly as quick as he's able to locate him, knowing that Kolokifi will still think him Herios. Plus, Thanatos still feels guilt over what happened in Erda and won't let that repeat if he actually has the power to. Jolyne is next, near as she is to Emporio.
It may be too late to keep Leia from falling unconscious from her strain, but he may be able to help keep Leia's mortal body from further damage. And then, of course, Zagreus is shielded. Part of Thanatos's focus is always going to be drawn toward him. Even if he's doing crazy things like walking on the sun.
"Please..." Thanatos says to no one in particular. His voice sounds weary, drained, but he continues on. "Make this right. Not another world lost because the cycle of Life and Death is broken."
