[Despite how outlandish this idea may be, Halim certainly wished he knew of a way to stop this cycle of rebirth. The Iifa Tree cheapened the impact of death by bestowing life upon the fallen. However, some of those who have died never returned to the land of living regardless of the tree's presence. The controversy revolving that wicked tree seems to brew more and more by each passing day.]
Rest assure that many aspire to achieve such a goal, but just as many lack the means necessary to achieve it. If we were to simply burn the Iifa Tree to cinders, what sort of negative effects would that have on Gaia's environment? The tree itself reaps in the souls of the dead, conforming them into the mist that sails above our heads. This process of soul collecting has been a stable in Gaia's environment for eons despite the fact the tree is of foreign origins. Many of the airships on Gaia operate using the mist itself as fuel for their engines. Therefore, if we annihilate the Iifa Tree, this could prove to be problematic and even catastrophic for Gaia.
Alas, it would seem we have our hands tied in that regard. This does not mean we cannot keep watch for Kefka if he were to be reborn anew, but this does mean that this cycle of chaos is endless for now.
The Iifa Tree itself is one piece of the puzzle that Garland left behind decades ago. He had hoped to use Gaian souls to bring life to his realm of Terra. Terra itself was a world that once brimmed with life, but a great cataclysm caused the end of Terra and its people. In hopes of restoring Terra to its former glory, the sorcerer doomed Gaia to a gruesome fate in order to achieve this goal.
Even now, Garland works against us all in hopes of restoring Terra.
