No, Saikou?

Here, just look back at the ending. You get to see Ilias' thoughts even and her attempt to try and make up for her actions, even if it's only by a little bit, by saving Luka. She acknowledged her mistakes and wanted to act like a real goddess, the kind the humans wanted her to be, at least once.

Ilias wasn't satisfied with her angels alone, though she did care for them. Her final monologue shows that her intentions towards humanity were quite pure, at least at first. It's just that she was too obsessed with them. Ilias wanted to be what the humans wanted her to be so much that she forgot her original desire to simply be cherished by others. She forgot herself and fully lost herself in the role of a Goddess, of what she thought the Goddess Ilias should be like.

So that's the divide here. Our Ilias is returning to her roots, while the Ilias Zion and the other Seraphim follow in that alternate world where Ilias completely destroyed the Six Ancestors will likely be an Ilias who's become too far gone into her obsession with being the Goddess Ilias, likely moreso than the original timeline Ilias (who may be our Ilias with amnesia, like how Paradox Black Alice is probably the original timeline Black Alice displaced from her original universe due to the effects of the White Rabbit).

Lastly, there's a difference between being sympathetic and being justified, Saikou. Her actions are not justified, but they're completely understandable (as in, you can understand how she got to that point) and her situation sympathetic (if you think her situation is sad, then you're sympathizing with her).
