In Stanisław Lem's "Fables for robots" there's that one story, "Tale of the Computer That Fought a Dragon", and it goes more less like this: on one planet's moon appeared a dragon that noone could defeat, so the Computer suggested creating another dragon, a superdragon, more powerful than the dragon that lives on the moon right now. The superdragon will defeat the current dragon, and there will be no more dragon! But, a monarch of the planet asked, what will become of the superdragon? How will they then get rid of him? And the Computer's answer was, that they will have to create a super-superdragon, that will defeat the superdragon, and so on.
I remembered this, when I read how Alina needs all three amplifiers to become stronger than the Darkling in order to defeat him, and how Zoya needs to claim the Dragon's power in order to defeat Elizaveta.

“Man has gone out to explore other worlds and other civilizations without having explored his own labyrinth of dark passages and secret chambers, and without finding what lies behind doorways that he himself has sealed.” -Stanisław Lem, Solaris
