He definitely wasn't the Black Robe Artificers' first choice. Phantom Prophet knew that perfectly well.
The Phantom Manual had exposed far too much of how he operated. No normal person would trust him. But Phantom Prophet had also had no choice.
"Let more people understand Phantom Prophet through the inheritance" was an important part of his resurrection.
So if he wanted to seize the divine spirit, he couldn't let these four Black Robe Artificers succeed in God Creation.
