The bottom line is this; they have the destructive power to keep their enemies dead for longer than a week plus death penalties. Keeping them out of the picture for a long, long time. However, he sees so many things wrong with the entire situation. But even he can't argue that striking a blow like this to the cultists wouldn't benefit everyone in the end.
He worries about the after effects of the bomb and how it will react with the natural shifts. It concerns him to do something like that to the planet he currently resides on, he'd like for this one to at least stay intact as much as possible (if he can't get everyone off of the rock and blow the planet up himself.) Where it's probably not going to blow up the planet or anything like with Planet Vegeta and Earth (lol dragonballs wishing Earth back), the effects might wash over more than just the desert area, killing a whole lot of others in the process that aren't even involved. He'd actually prefer that innocents not die in this, though this is war and sometimes you have to make sacrifices. But at the same time whatever approval this has gotten wouldn't of been approved unless they knew something about it the Lucetians didn't, and he doesn't know if that's because they are aware that it's NOT going to effect anymore than the desert area, or if they simply don't care.
He's almost certain this is also part of a larger plan to be rid of the Iron Eye once they've outlived their usefulness. He doesn't care about the Iron Eye, or Bil, but he knows what it is to work for someone indescribably powerful who can throw you away whenever they feel like it. Would they be good allies? Yes, if the Lucetians managed to win their trust. Will they be able to see that relationship grow? He's not certain if the Malnosso will let them stick around much after this. They hold a power that is dangerous even to the Malnosso, and it's bad for business to have people stronger than you. Not to mention he doesn't know what the Malnosso are planning on doing with the Lucetians after the fact. So what's stopping the Malnosso from doing that to them one day, if that's how it plays out? Dropping them off in a ditch to die, if not already dead? And even if it doesn't play out with the Iron Eye the way he expects it to?
But despite all this, this is war. And one of their enemies just recently invaded them and almost made them their slaves. He can't forgive that. In addition to all the other crap they've pulled, stuff he's heard about from before he even arrived in Luceti. The grudge he holds against them is currently much larger than the one he holds against the Malnosso, and that is quite large after finding the experiment files on himself. Plus he has to think of his daughter and do what he needs to do to keep her safe. If the Malnosso want to get angry with them for involving themselves, then fine. He doesn't care. But he doesn't believe they will, based on the knowledge they've gathered. This might be "unspeakable" but at the end of the day, they're getting what they want. A blow to the cultists. He finds it hard to believe that there is anyone righteous at the top of this organization, no matter how they present themselves.
