HUGE plot hole in the Regicide mission!

OK, so here again is another huge plot hole I've found in Destiny's fascinating plot! So, in the Regicide mission before Oryx 'tests' you to see if you're worthy, he says this: "[i]You... are the last hope of the Light? I have taken entire worlds. You are not worthy to face me." [/i] and sends his two ultras to fight you. But wait! There's something strange, isn't there?! He says 'I have taken entire worlds.', well let's go back a few centuries. When the Traveller arrived, he 'took' many planets with light so terraformed them to give them life, right? You died approximately when the Collapse happened. Well, now that we're Guardians of the Traveller, that means we're technically a big part of him since Ghosts are our companions which are made 100% from the Traveller's light, so we really represent the Traveller, do we not? So the Traveller DID take some worlds for US. Which means, we are technically worthy to face him already since we have already taken 'entire' worlds, mostly Venus, Mars, the Moon, Mercury, etc etc basically. So either Oryx is stupid and stupidly apoplectic for us killing his son or this is another huge plot hole, [b]BUNGIE[/b]. I would appreciate if a story director or a worker of some sort gave an explanation for this kind of silly plot hole, and perhaps plans to change this dialogue to a more suiting one.

  • The way the Destiny story works is a little weird. Technically yes, we did kill his son and Atheon, but we also didn't. Any mention of the death of Crota or any of the things we do is "a Guardian," not necessarily us. So to him, we are nothing but a spark of light that seeks to end his reign. We, in the whole Destiny scheme, are not the ones who delved into the Vex underground and killed Time's Conflux or the slayer of his son. In the game, yes, but not the story that's in cutscenes or Grimoire cards
