Would it have been better not to hear this news at all? Debatable. But now it's spoken it can't be undone. Elidibus gives K'zeka the time he needs to process the story and its overall implications. He takes no joy out of burdening another reality's Warrior of Light with this knowledge. But for a contrivance of happenstance, it would have been he in the miqo'te's place.
But even that aside, Elidibus would not be so malicious as to be pleased by such torment. That is why when K'zeka struggles to come to terms, he is patient then as well, even through the implication that the Ascian might have been lying.
Closing his eyes, Elidibus contemplates the hypothetical placed before him, weighing what he knows with what the miqo'te wants to know.
"I can't say for certain. The purpose of the towers created by Fandaniel is to gather aether to break the seal on Lord Zodiark's prison. Your allies may be capable of delaying this on their own."
Find someone else that has the Blessing of the Light, make progress on the talismans? And it's likely only a stopgap measure. And dependant on so many factors; one of which was how close Fandaniel and Zenos came to destroying the seal even with Eorzea's Champion at the helm.
"Ultimately I can only tell you what was passed to me. And that it's unlikely events were sorely changed by my time on the Voidtrecker Express." He would have been sealed and unable to affect anything if he weren't here. It's nearly the same impact on events, unlike K'zeka's position.
Quietly, Elidibus offers, "I know the Warrior of Light succeeds in making it to a time when my star was still Unsundered." His eyes open, though he's not looking at K'zeka. "I remember him there." A restored memory. A fleeting wonder and utterly precious to the Ascian. "But I do not know if he succeeds in finding what he searches for."
He looks up at his visitor with a grave expression. "Do what you will with this information. Whether you choose to hope you make it back in time to set things right, trust in your allies to rise to the occasion or involve the Void Ministry in the plight of your reality. But if Lord Zodiark is destroyed, the Final Days will return to your star. And Fandaniel aims to make it so."
