As usual, being turned into a puppet is not always a bad thing. If the god of travelers can remain in control of his body despite Legion's attempt to control him, everything will be fine. But Legion was sure that the god of travelers wouldn't be lucky enough to achieve this fine outcome.
The high gods watching didn't know how the Virus ultimate ability worked, but they were also able to come to the same conclusion as Legion. They were sure that if the black tide submerged the god of travelers, he would be doomed, and they would be forced to follow along the path of damnation.
So none of them had the intention to hold back at all. Everyone did everything they could to help the god of travelers. Even the god of crime, who had wanted to kill the god of travelers in the last timeline, chose to help the god of travelers this time around.
