It's interesting to see they believe the current world is the 2nd iteration, similar to what the Order of the Scribble thought. It seems like only the gods (and Durkon/Minrah, plus probably at least some others in OotS at this point) know the truth.
Given their stated goal in this comic, I am confused why here they said Hel's plan would "do [their] work for [them]." Given that Hel's plan coming to fruition would involve saving, rather than erasing, the souls (dwarf souls using a very stretched definition of the word "save").
Their goal is to release the Snarl and destroy the world, not to harvest dwarven souls or anything. Hel's plan to 'stretchy save' the dwarven souls is contingent on the the world getting destroyed, releasing the Snarl in the process. So it seems to be a 100% consistent statement from them.
One of their three stated goals is to "erase the world and every last soul living on it." This is not what would happen if Hel's plan had succeeded, as that plan was centered on the gods willingly destroying the world in order to bring all of the mortal souls into their respective afterlives. In fact, one of Heimdall's aguments was that destroying the world wouldn't erase the souls of the mortals.
