Besides the Lord of Glory, several other gods were also suspect. The second most suspicious was the God of Nobility.

If the God of Nobility had arranged this affair, it would make perfect sense. From His various past deeds, it was clear that He liked using schemes and plots, and that He had no bottom line whatsoever. Doing something like this was, at least for Him, not impossible.
Moreover, He had inherited the assets of the old-established God of Kingship, had spent several centuries building up His own foundation, and had recently entered the ranks of powerful divine power. He could be considered exceedingly well-heeled. Sending out two Sacred Spirits to do something like this was, at the very least, within His means.
By comparison, the other gods whose positions might lead them to do such a thing had rather thinner foundations. It was difficult to imagine them risking such enormous losses to send two Sacred Spirits on what was practically a suicide mission.
