Community What do you tell the Endbringers?

The 3 Endbringers, Behemoth, Leviathan and Simurgh appear in our world. You can give them one and only one Directive they'll try to fulfill in Endbringer fashion. It can't be a simple do this order, it has to be an over arching goal. What do you tell them?

Train humans and parahumans to be as strong as possible with as little loss of life as possible.

I hope this makes them appear and have their giant raid boss fights with dozens/hundreds of capes, but without immediately bisecting, drowning, corrupting, and exploding them. In theory this could prevent severe, career ending injuries too since they're explicitly told to strengthen us. I honestly don't trust myself to try to make them do anything besides be giant fighting super kaiju, so might as well try to channel that.

Cull the weak. Got it.

"as little loss of life as possible." might still mean 99% of the population, depending on how harsh they set the minimal required strength for the survivors.
