She chose the latter. She wasn't 'absolute good', and she is absolutely justifiably seen as evil to those she harmed... but the alternative was what? Meteion quashing literally all forms of life and leaving the universe with literally nothing in it.

So like... ya. She's not 'super good guy who was unambiguously good!' but if she was... that'd be boring. She was put in the difficult decision: Destroy her world so that SOME world could live... or let everything die in exchange for her world having a little bit of extra time. Tough decision. The decision she made, at least currently, appears to have been the correct one. We stopped the 'final days'. Her people most likely couldn't have - they were too aetherically strong to deal with the dynamis. But... was there another way? Maybe. We'll never know.

She committed awful acts but in doing so secured a future for life as a concept.
Or. . .maybe tell her people what was going on so that a select group of them could be sundered, deal with the problem and then be rejoined. But her not telling them what was going on is what doomed them. That, my friend, is genocide very much clear cut.
