Xerces is trying to present himself as a keeper of balance. However there are some oddities.

-> Xerces claims that the assumilation of many shards could lead to imbalance. However there was a time when the shards were One and it was in possession of someone. So, even if a man reached Godhood,  he could still be beaten. Therefore, balance would continue to exist.

-> A bit of speculation here. Let's say that Xerces knows that Simon got the Emperor's shard. He warns Simon about Fucklord's attack which leads to either Simon or Estaven acquiring a grand total of 2.5 shards. Neither of them are protecting balance and a fight with them would be even more risky and taxing for him now that he would need to face their combined strength. Trying to get Ginasta to kill Estaven would be less risky, honestly.
