I don't think Venger is interested in destroying the Realm. His master can already do that (and almost did; stopping for unknown reasons). Outside his master's goals, Venger seems to be more interested in conquest, and the weapons give him a boost over Tiamat, the only power in the Realm greater than him (or at least, the only power that's not bound by rules like DM seems to be that's greater than him).
In contrast, Marche's quest will result in the complete dissolution of the Realm.
For the fic to work though, certain things about D&D canon have to be changed (or not, if Marche is wrong). If the story goes with the premise that Marche is correct, then D&D episodes where they travel back home (such as the one where Venger shows up at the amusement park) have to be changed/deleted -- that simply isn't possible, because in FFTA, Ivalice _is_ earth, not an alternate dimension. If the story goes with the premise that Marche is wrong, Marche and friends were brought to the alternate dimension of The Realm, and that Marche's quest will possibly do things but _not_ restore it to earth.
