It means to have won the war, when there is no one left to fight. What reason would he have in taking over the world? They have their own gods and Halone doesn't stand supreme to them, since in their polytheistic pantheon, they're all related anyway.
Oh no, he didn't just go "I'm right, you're wrong, we fight now and I'll prove it" he went full King Herod and started yelling "I'm THE ONLY GOD any one will need, and I will slaughter all who oppose me, and rule this world with an Iron Fist!" so he didn't even become a false deity really, more like he devolved into a saturday morning cartoon villain.

Oh and trust me, as hell bent as the ishgardian faith is on purging heretics, it's clearly against the teachings to oppose Halone as Ishguard is "The Promised Land given to them by The Fury herself!" so any one who contests that ownership, <Cough Cough> Dravanian Sympathisers <Cough>, was a Halone opposing Heretic and MUST be eliminated "For the Glory of Halone".

So trust me, if they herd him going on about being "The God-King" then even the zealotous nobles would have called shenanigans and called for a riot.

Also, Halone is the Chief Goddess of Ishgard. And while her extended family is worshiped in eorzea too, Ishguard Worships Halone specifically the same way that Athens specifically worshiped Athena over the other 11 Olympians in Ancient Greece. It's not that there aren't multiple deities it's that they choose to worship one in Specific.
