It throws the problem back to Ilias's isolation which made her addicted to the human recognizing and worshipping her.

I don't know enough about Agarest to tell how much Chaos and Nemesis suffered, but Ilias was basically alone during million of years, created copies of herself (angels) that were bilndly following her during most of her life.

And then after thousand of year of work, she managed to make human evolve, and some started worshipping her, giving her attention that went to her head.

(the next two paragraphs are redacted with Ilias's perspective in mind) And then suddenly, parasitic aliens came out from nowhere, and started turning some of her worshipper's attention to themselves, cue the great monster war. There Ilias managed to "save" her "childrens" from those parasites. And what some of them did in return ? They still wanted to live and enjoy those parasites. They gave her less and less attention as time passed and were happy living with what she was seeing as a potential cause of their destruction. At that point she was still seeing herself as needed, as some "cheating lovers" needed to see the error of her ways.

And then she created a plan to get (aka create, the replicants) new lovers back, by saving black alice, Remina's destruction later... However, she still saw one hope in mankind : Luka, a young boy who wanted to become a hero and slay the monster lord, even when everything pointed at Ilias abandonning him at the very beginning of his adventure (due to the interference of said Monster Lord by the way), he still believed in Ilias. Surely if he accomplished his mission, the fait in Ilias would come back stronger than ever. She thought that his ideals of cohabitation would soon be forgotten during his travels, except those ideals were actually what guided him on his adventure, rather than his faith in Ilias. Cut to the end of Chapter 2, with Luka's choice between his vision of coexistence, or his faith in Ilias.

So basically, in the novel serie, Ilias just had one really big yandere moment over mankind, triggered by Luka. Wonder how it will turn out in Paradox.

Maybe Alipheese the 1st is even worse.
