It's often easier to work with evil, which at least has self interest you can appeal to.

Curing ignorance? When it's backed up by decades of carried grievance? That can be more challenging

So far as we know, Xykon's plan to use the Gate for world domination starts with casting a spell with Redcloak.

We do know that said spell will give the Dark One power over the Gate.

We do know the Gods will destroy the world and start things over again, rather than let the Dark One use it against them.

So if Xykon gets near to taking control over the final Gate, we expect that the Gods will have a new vote, and destroy the world, again.
Yeah, if Serini is making assumptions without knowing the whole story, that could lead to some serious trouble.

Meanwhile, we do't know how much Xykon knows on Redcloak yanking his chain and lying on it. He's prepared for it, but perhaps he thinks Redcloak still lacks the balls to make a move. However, we know Redcloak is willing to let the world be destroyed for a long shot so he doesn't own up to his mistakes. I'm reminded of how Xykon said he ripped his flesh off to avoid weakness; I wonder if Xykon would invoke being proud of Redcloak to shame him or to get under his goblin skin.

You're gonna destory the world than admit you screwed up? To avoid weakness? Heh, didn't think you had the balls, Redcloak. Finally you're in the big leagues now.

Heck, we don't even know if Redcloak or Dark One's plans will work, though they may be okay getting crushed out of existence if they take everyone else out of the way.
