Oh spare me. We both know that neither of us gives a damn about Bahamut's divine opinion. I lost every shred of a damn I had when I heard the true sacrifice his bloody Prophecy requires. Why should mortals think any differently? I can't speak for all of us, but I damn well can speak for myself. I think differently because I will accept no other way. When I see wrong and when I see abuse, I fix it instead of allowing the cycle to continue. I protect and I burn.

[Ignis voice suddenly drops to a steel-laced growl.]

I don't care if it damns me to burn in Ifrit's hell for all eternity, I will find another way. This is all that I am and I'm not letting Bahamut or anyone else take that from me.

If you decide to allow him to win after all this time, then that, Ardyn Lucis Caelum, is your choice and your mistake.
