I have to agree that while some of the old gods may indeed prove somewhat useful, at this point I wouldn't care to make any plans that rely upon them, either. What help we can get from them is welcome, of course...but as something supplementary to whatever we arrange for ourselves. And in particular, I don't expect any of them - even those friendly to us - to help us track Amaterasu's shinki. I'm guessing that they'd be risking a lot more than we would, doing something that could be seen as spying on Amaterasu...and they're all likely a lot more loyal to her than we are, as well. But then I suppose it's easy to be loyal to someone who's overseeing a system that benefits you...which is more than we can say.

[Komaeda blinks at Shun.] Library goblins...? You don't suppose they could have been responsible themselves, do you? Either for their own reasons, or at the command of a god...? I've never seen or heard of such things, but I assume as denizens of the heavens they'd be subject to being ordered around by the old gods.

I suppose the question of who actually removed the material matters a lot less than who caused it to be removed...so it might be the question of access isn't going to tell us anything. Oh well...
