Godless or Zaros?
Quick find code: 341-342-321-65804260
I think a more successful method might be to try and get Gielinor to the point to it can turn the tables on the Elder Gods and drain them instead.
To have tried to reach perfection for so long. To have a long trail of destruction winding back into a countless past. To finally achieve that perfect creation through tremendous sacrifice. For the lifeforms of the time to struggle against "the inevitable" and fail. That creation then shows the Elders they achieved far more than they bargained for. An Awakening.
And then the Elders Perfect Creation to turns on them and eat them like popping candy.
The purpose of adventure is to shine light into dark places,
Poke monsters with a sharp stick, Then steal anything that isn't nailed down!

I recall it being revealed by Seren that Guthix was actually working on something in order to control the flow of the Anima Mundi so that the Elders never get enough Anima to reawaken. I believe that if this is true, Guthix most likely looked into more permanent solutions, such as this one.
This is relevant because well.. if Guthix couldn't do it, how the Infernus are we going to?? To manipulate Anima on such a grand scale to do the exact opposite of what it's meant to do, I doubt even Seren could do this herself without killing herself and/or damaging the Anima Mundi in some way. A
Only then can they

Hmm. OK. I read through the first page of posts, and I think I've got a pretty good idea of what I want to say here.
I definitely wouldn't go the way of the Godless. Quite frankly, I think their entire purpose is flawed and their objective(s) are unattainable. Think about it: The Godless want to rid the world of Gods. In truth, however, what is a God? A God is a powerful leader for some cause, plight, or philosophy, etc. Take away all the current Gods, as the Godless wants -- What's left? Powerful leaders -- STILL. You can't rid the world of leaders, and you can't rid the world of *powerful* leaders. Leaders will always exist, just as followers will always exist. Leaders will always seek to amass power to further their cause, and followers will always support their leader and help to further the corresponding cause as best they can.
Furthermore, the Elder Gods are, in fact, a thing. Say what you will, but the Godless are not about to single-handedly eliminate the most powerful beings in the multiverse. That's just not realistic. Their plans aren't even concrete -- They barely know what they're doing. The Godless are literally just flailing around trying to eliminate Gods wherever they can and amass followers wherever they can (precisely what the other factions -- all pertaining to a God -- are doing...). Their entire principle is flawed.
Zaros, on the other hand, while he has his flaws, is, simply put, what's best for the world. Seren perhaps contests him on this title, but Zaros strikes me as the most proactive being in the area of attempting to eliminate the Elder Gods. He may be manipulative, he may seem untrustworthy -- he may even be untrustworthy -- but we can at least still trust that he's trying to do something about the sole biggest threat to every living thing's well-being in the universe right now (the Elder Gods, again).

The best part about Zaros is he doesn't care about the "petty" God Wars anymore. He just needs our support at the correct moments to help bring down the sole biggest threat to the well-being of every living thing in the RuneScape multiverse.
I personally see that as a HUUUUUGE advantage over the other Gods (beyond the whole actually-having-a-plan-and-being-proactive-against-the-Elder-Gods thing), because it allows [some of] the other Gods to coexist with him.
For example: Armadyl's whole thing is Justice. That has literally nothing to do with Zaros and his current ambitions. Armadyl is someone I can see coexisting with Zaros, because Armadyl could be focused more on the individual issues -- say, should someone rob someone else or murder someone else, and therefore have the perpetrator face judgment and receive justice -- while Zaros takes care of the bigger picture.
I would kind of like to say the same thing about Zamorak. His entire philosophy is "strength through chaos" -- He also has nothing to do with Zaros' current ambitions, he's just about rising up above the crowd despite all the crap being thrown at you. He's about the individual. Zamorak I honestly see as practically a motivational speaker -- But again, my point is, he and what he stands for basically have nothing to do with Zaros' current goals, and if they can just stop being stubborn and put their past crap behind themselves, they could probably coexist quite well.
Just to give an opposing example... Saradomin could absolutely not coexist with Zaros, as he has this obsession with being the one and true, only Lord of the Seven Kingdoms (lol, but you catch my drift). I honestly find him more in line with how Zaros was in the past -- obsessed with controlling everything and sitting at the top, above everyone. This would not sit well with Zaros, because Zaros wants (and honestly, considering the current state of things, he kinda needs) to be in control of the bigger picture.
