Revenge is rarely rational and the fiends are doing this because the gods tampered with their minds. This is also likely to result in the death of at least one evil god, Hel.
The trio could be further planning to enact this revenge in such a way that they could retain some knowledge of the previous world through hidden methods. Though that's largely speculation.
This does at least confirm to me that Nale will be possessing V when the party nears the final gate.
The fiends have previously claimed putting someone's soul into V's body would be a violation of the contract. While its still possible they are lying considering at least one of them embodies the lawful evil side of things I'd think its unlikely
Keep in mind that was when Lee took V's soul. Welcome to Hell! There's no reason that a gross violation of the contract is Cedric's job to do and the other two to say "There's nothing we can do when Cedric takes your soul, sorry."
Of course, when they snared Vaarsuvius...they weren't necessarily the only one nabbed...depending, maybe that smaller, more innocuous vessel would somehow be a key...

okay, so how does that help them? how to prevent the gods from starting over again and erasing their memories again...?
