Aleister originally didn't plan to directly conflict with the other ascendants.
The main reason is that even if she killed the opponent, it actually wouldn't stop their actions—this is the most important reason.
Although there seemed to be grudges among these people, leading to fights upon meeting... However, Aleister truly had no personal conflicts with them. She could very well sit back and watch the tigers fight, then calmly do her tasks elsewhere.
Even for Transcenders on the path of transcendence, killing should not become the goal. Rather, precisely because it is the path of transcendence, that killing becomes a means.
For Transcenders, everything is just a means.
Moreover, Aleister knew the background of "this painting" from the very beginning.
Because this is a fairy tale written by her grandfather Jacob in his youth—The World of the White Horse King!
Aleister had read that fairy tale.
