That final act of Ilias actually bumped her up on my list of likeable characters in this game, especially after that fucked up test Tamamo and other monsters put Luka through at the end of the game. The way I see it was yes, Ilias tried to do a fucked up thing, but looking at things from her perspective, the world was going in a really fucked up direction with her sworn enemies (monsters) raping the ones who worshipped her and then everyone on the world treating rape as a crime on an equal level as loitering, with some places like Grand Noah treating it as entertainment. Bottom line was, she killed people/had people killed/raped but who the fuck in the MGQ world of monsters doesn't do that, at least Ilias had some semblance of sense for her reasons and by the end she pretty much just wanted to help people, specifically humans, but never could because they kept practically spitting in her face. And she put up with that spit for centuries, just a huge lake of fucking saliva surrounding her in Heaven, while on the ground, monsters like our "favorite" lamia Alice go into a genocidal rage if Luka doesn't walk up to her scary unconscious half snake ass to see if she's doing fine. I guess most of my like for that final act was because she literally had nothing to gain by doing that at the end, as far as she was concerned, her existance was over, everyone on the world hated and denounced her, and the person who was mainly responsible for her downfall was going to die from Holy erosion, which would be something you'd think a vengeful goddess would be thrilled about. Instead she saved him for literally no other reason or obligation other than because it was something only she could do, and if you want to look at it a certain way she was always saving him with those evaluations.

How many monsters can you picture doing the same after all that? Every monster had some reason or another for ending up helping Luka because it in some way benefitted them, there was not a single case I can recall aside from Amira (damn you are such a good cookie Amira) where monsters acted selflessly without some personal gain involved.
