Grey didn't need to be a genius to figure out what was going on. There was absolutely no reason for the Great Udon to do this.
Regardless of the strengths of the candidates he had hand selected to reveal, every time a Cracked World was introduced, the ending would be the same. Of billions upon billions of people, there were bound to be some promising talents.
The problem was that they were few and far between, and they often had to carry the burden of an entire race with them.
In truth, the Hosts of the Genesis Games were expecting these talents to appear. They were expecting the likes of Grey, and Amunet, and Thi Lan to show up and throw a few wrenches in their expected outcomes. This happened every time a Cracked World was introduced and was part of what made the First Arc fun.
The combination of non-optimized routes and potential rare talents was where all the fun was.
