It's so sad. Miquella sacrificed everything for his question for compassion, universal salvation and divinity. The ones closest to him. He sacrificed his sister. He sacrifices Leda. He even cruelly discards St. Trina and leaves her to die in the darkest corner of the world. And he sacrifices himself.

It's as St. Trina says. Quite sad that even when Miquella could not love himself...he was loved by his sisters. Even after being cruelly discarded...they feels nothing but love for Miquella to the very end. That's why Miquella is the final boss of SOTE and why we have to kill him. To set him free from his cursed destiny.

As the Light of Miquella spell aka. the orbital lazer you get from beating from says:

"Miquella sought to accept all that was and would be, but found one that refused to be embraced."
"No wonder, as one god, and one king consort, is all the world needs."

And its true. Marika already sacrificed herself and was crucified and turned into an divine immortal incubator by the Greater Will forever. Godhood would be Miquella's prison, as it was his mothers. We don't need two Gods.

if you kill Miquella then go to kill Malenia...there's a very sad secret alternate intro dialogue in JP. Translated it reads:

"Sweet Tarnished_ Dearest companion_ Did you not heed my warning? Your greed knows no end. You would steal the last drop of warmth from his empty frame? After all you've taken, you still want more? Then you will have to kill me. I am Malenia, Sword of Miquella. And I have never known defeat."

In the end Miquella could not keep his promise either. He never became a God. He died at Mohg's cocoon. The Haligtree was stillborn and never became an Erdtree. He could never reunite with his sister and and cure her of the eternal curse. Most importantly he could never beat his own curse. He never grew up.

But despite being the divine tyrant he really is...I can't really bring myself to hate him. He was innocence itself in purity and form.
