It was hinted in the last film that Ghidorah is actually the Exif's god - with the prayer near the end of the film saying "We must all join ourselves together as one, until the promised day God descends upon us" - which is what Ghidorah will do in the third film. It does appear that humanity will have to side with Godzilla, although Mothra may also join in the battle as it looks from the trailer that Godzilla can't physically harm Ghidorah. I see. I’ve also been wondering why would the Exif worship Ghidorah? Metphies said that Ghidorah was the one who destroyed his homeworld, so Ghidorah should be seen less as a god and more as a devil by the Exif. Maybe I misinterpreted while watching these movies. Well to be fair, the God(s) of religions here on Earth aren't always beacons of benevolence as I'm pretty sure you can look a good few religions and find stories of their God(s) doing something that may/can be viewed as a horrifying and destructive act but its 'justified' in some way. An example been in the story of Moses from the Book of Exodus where God inflicts 9 plagues upon Egypt (including swarms of locusts, illness to livestock and people, raining burning ice, covering the land in darkness and killing all of the Egyptian's first-borns) but its justified because the Egyptians use the Hebrews as slaves and the Pharaoh refuses to free them.

(Please note to anyone reading this, I'm not trying to start a religious flame war; I'm just using the story above as a comparison as it's one that most people are familiar with).

As such, even though Ghidorah destroyed the Exif's homeworld they may state that its destruction was justified for some reason, and they will likely justify Ghidorah's summoning to Earth in this film.
