it seems counter intuitive to expect Phil to just hand over his weaknesses. While I know he hasn’t spent a huge amount of time with Hugh, I’d say that if he’s asked he’d spill more information than Death wants and nothing that’ll help her stop him.
…Either that or she DOES hurt one of them and Phil flips out on the Null trip.

You’re talking like that second option is anything other than inevitable. Death is only interested in resuming her position of power and dominance over the world, and (we know now) getting revenge on the Null for everything he did to her.

Hugh knows that there are people Phil cares about. To someone like Death (who is purely interested in power, dominance and revenge), that is a vulnerability. And since she can’t allow the Null to roam freely (due to being a threat to her power, which is unacceptable), she will exploit those vulnerabilities to bring the Null under her control.

In all likelihood, Death is going to use Hugh to identify who would make the best hostage.

ya that is going to work oh so well. he has friends in both the upper and lower planes, A genius with a literal Army of robots. And a Mass altering stick That EATS MAGIC… His wife is no slouch and is budding Archmage.

In short, he may not be a monster this time, but that also means he has backup too. Going after some’s friends is a garonteed way to piss them off and ensure they will want to come after you and imprison you for eternity (again) if they can’t destroy you.

So… She’s going for Mutually-Assured-Destruction. Sure… “That” always ends well.
Death could kill any of Phil’s friends and that would destroy him, but that will also ensure he hunts her down on a regular basis and takes her out. Again, and again, and again.
Life and Death really are broken records, stuck in the same groove, regardless of what they experience.
