To reiterate before some people get mad, this is just one explanation that exists among the hundreds of theories floating around. It's all in good fun. Theorizing is all we got until the next 4-5 years lmao

TLDR: Sephiroth plans to utilize the Reunion which is a merger of worlds. He is merging every timeline in existence to the remake timeline so that there will only be one single timeline in the ff7 universe. This is so that it doesn't matter if he lost in the OG or in other timelines, because this is the only one that will matter so winning in remake will mean an absolute victory. And a loss will be an absolute loss.

To guaranteed his win, he needs to cast meteour and he needs cloud to deliver him the black materia to him at the northern crater which is why he is manipulating cloud so hard. He needs to get rid of holy and we see he has been doing that throughout the entire game, but got outplayed as aerith managed to sneak one into the remake's timeline. He acknowledges this when he sees cloud with the white materia in the remake timeline, "that doesn't belong here." Now that his plan to stop holy is ruined, he has to figure out how to deal with it.

The rainbow light signifies some time shenanigans happening. Zack's purpose is to show this plot device. Cloud collided swords with sephiroth when he tries to kill Aerith and rainbow light came out. Tifa saw a version of aerith with blood and one without, so there most likely is an Aerith that 'lived' in some other timeline. Why is this important? Because when reunion happens, if all timeline is merging into one then that alive aerith will then make her way back into remake's timeline, just like Zack. How they going to explain multiple instances of characters post merge? Maybe they're all just dead in the other timelines is my guess since we see Zack fated to get gunned down by Shinra no matter which route he chooses except the one where sephiroth put him in the lifestream.

Or maybe some crackpot insane styled plot twist is coming our way, who knows. This is just the way I interpreted the ending when I finished the game. Either way it goes, most of the game has been pretty damn similiar to the OG.
