One thought in another direction - may it be that the mightiest would always claim for more? Seeing all the others under him, he forgets that he is and always be superior to them, but under the One, the Creator... instead of being satisfied and happy about what he has, he claims what he cannot have, the only thing he cannot have..... just the power makes you forget the limits, which always exist, although they are sometimes wide enough to make you feel free to go everywhere
And to the topic - if Eru stops him another one would come and take the path....
