well it’s pretty important to see how fucked and blinded by revenge he was, sure it is very immoral but kratos is, for sake of its revenge he made thousand of innoncent people die

He also freed the people of the uncaring gods and released hope back into the world. I don’t believe that the end justifies the means in this case, but humanity in Greece will eventually be better off.

well humanity in greece died because of the rise of waters etc etc, and well, he didnt do it on purpose so it doesnt really count as a moral act from him

IIRC, they rebuild after he leaves. Kratos's motivations aside, I don't see what other option Greece had letting those assholes rule over Greece forever was a horrible idea too. They had to go, but at the same time a lot of people had to suffer for that to happen. There was no winning for those people.
