I think it would have made a bit more sense if you needed both Legendaries in order to operate it...
I'd argue that it's implied right there in that quote and in his larger discussion with Diantha where he appears to disdain the thought of growing old:
But even then, choosing Xerneas over Yveltal just pure pragmatism, no? Why stop at a kill-all Legendary if a different Legendary can do the...
On the other hand, since the evidence suggests that it doesn't matter which Legendary is powering it (it can function as a weapon either way; it just needs a huge power source), one could argue that it makes more sense to use Xerneas, since it serves as a power source for the initial culling...
I'm not so sure that even that really holds much water as evidence anymore. If the core series games themselves are parallel to each other, then technically, that would mean that trade and transfer even on a level that innate is inter-universal. For instance, we have the line from Archie/Maxie...
