>There's no need for this nonsense when we see an Empyrean split himself without all this preamble in the DLC.
But Marika is no Empyrean and never called one
>Radagon is to Marika, what St. Trina is to Miquella.
This kind of random assumption is what makes you not understand lore
>We know that Marika resents the Golden Order
Source? Your ass of course
>She conspired with Godfrey for him to return one day to reconquer the Lands Between.
Source? Your ass of course
>She conspired with Hewg to create a weapon that could kill the Elden Beast.
Nope, she tasked Hewg to create her Hammer, with which she shattered herself and Radagon, hammer that is the only weapon described as crafted outside the Lands Between, and Miyazaki stated that the Roudtable Hold is outside the Lands Between
>which makes sense when she wants at least one of them to potentially become strong enough to kill the Elden Beast.
Source? Your ass
>She denigrates Radagon as being the Order's mutt, indicating that she is disloyal to the Order and has no respect for it anymore.
Nope, that's just random made up bullshit that somehow twisted Marika's declaring her wish to merge with him so they become God, because you read it with infinite confirmation bias
>She doesn't become a host to the Elden Beast at the end, because we killed that for good
Yes she does, see
>She returns to being the Order's Goddess, but as a shattered statue, barely alive, instead of an autonomous divinity.
No, she's fucking dead, period.

The Elden Beast is not a parasite and the fact that retards like you tried to dumb down a far more complex and elegant narrative with "muh evil church led by bad alien" shows how Elden Ring filtered complete idiots
Elden Beast is accumulation of life and the space therein. It is quite literally space and stars, and the impact point of the falling stars are the same of the comets that created an hospitable planet for human life
