I uploaded another video recently on my channel but like I always do i'm going to make a summary here on some interesting ideas and maybe you guys have some counter-arguments that I didn't think of.

So in Aurelion Sol's bio it is revealed the Targonians forced Aurelion Sol to fight against other "cosmic entities he's known since the dawn of time". Keeping that in mind, we also know that the Targonians somehow are able to travel to other planets. How are the Targonians able to do this? They just built the technology, or did they trick Bard just like they tricked Aurelion Sol? Bard was shown teleporting that destructive magical pebble out of Runeterra in his teaser trailer, so why would he wait so long to take away that artifact? Also, why was Bard not there to stop Aurelion Sol from destroying suns? You have to remember, Aurelion Sol's destruction of suns is not natural, he was doing them under the orders of Targonians, so wouldn't that interfere against the moral foundation of the "Universal Protector"? So it makes me believe Bard is being ordered around, either by Targonians or someone who is stronger then him, maybe another one of these celestial deities.

What are your thoughts? Who are these other cosmic entities? We know that there is a sun god, but what about the Moon, and who represents Taric's power?

Something to keep in mind about Bard in just about every regard is that he operates with the goal of universal safety in all things that he does, and so he acts out of purpose, not desire.

Bard likely knows far more about the nature and stability of the universe than even beings like Aurelion Sol, and so he knows what he should be working you prevent. While to us the destruction of stars might seem disastrous, Bard might not see it that way as he understands their nature and purpose better than we ever could. Bard almost certainly knows of Targon and what they want out of things, so he either knows how Targon's destroying stars or knows that Targon's not gonna go overboard just to keep the Star Forger in line.

On the "could they control Bard too" bit, I'd say that's doubtful, because of his elusive and incomprehensible nature, and also because, I think, Bard's strong than Aurelion Sol. That's more gut feeling than anything really, but considering that Dark Star Thresh, as non canon as it is, has Thresh mocking Aurelion Sol, but seemingly a little pressured around Bard, I'd say it speaks volumes to Bard's power.

That "Just try to take it sack man" lime reeks of desperation to me.

I doubt the Targonians could enslave Bard. They only managed to get Aurelion because his ego made him vulnerable. Bard however doesn't have that,so it would be much more difficult(or downright impossible) to trick him.
