Doing that would be the beginning of the end.
They'd lose. Instantly.
"Damn it… If I'd known it would turn out like this, I should've brought Elyra and the others too… I was way too confident," Ethan muttered, rubbing his temples in frustration.

He'd underestimated Maelthorak—both his power and the forces he had hidden away.
Seraphina, Kyros, Cicero… all three Crimson Ultimate heroes were already in play.
