Now if they were directly manipulating someone into summoning them, whether it be mind control or a voice into their head, then they could count as antagonist, as they'd be directly influencing the plot from the shadows. But as far as we can tell, they're not. The closest thing we can call manipulating is that GoL told Ozma that his reincarnation cycle would end after Judgement Day, and even then, Ozma would have the option to continue his never ending existence even after Salem is somehow defeated. While GoD is debatable due to his proven destructive tendencies, I cannot see GoL actually forcing someone to summon them.
