Griffith's transformation into Femto solidified his godlike status, as he abused mortals and dominated the demonic race through the use of biblical terminology. While Griffith's heroic actions may be interpreted as a savior for demons, his willingness to torture his companions and seek power raises questions about his true motives for humanity.
An almost offhand comment that a forgotten Apostle makes in chapter 68 of Berserk actually creates an odd parallel to a particular real-life religion, further deepening the villain's god-complex.
He was not only a savior of humanity but also a demon's tormentor when he later proclaimed his intentions of creating a world where man and demons could coexist in harmony and peace.
Even though some parallels to Christianity can be drawn in these cases, none of them have ever been that concrete until Chapter 68 of the Berserk manga. In this chapter, the mortally injured Apostle Wyald realizes that if he dies, he would be trapped inside that vortex forever and pleads to a still-human Griffith to use the Egg of the King to summon the God Hand, which would save him from such a fate.
Is Griffith Humanity's Savior or Their Doom in Berserk?
Given the series' constant allusions to Griffith's status as a divine being, it's only natural for fans to wonder whether Griffith's quest is ultimately noble. However, if Griffith's goal of creating a paradise for both humans and demons were genuine, the unspeakable horrors he commits to achieve that goal would set a terrifying precedent. Even if the Hawk of Light is willing to subject his closest friends to unspeakable torture in order to achieve his goal, it's hard not to question whether he would extend that same cruelty to maintain his own existence. Griffith might have earned the status of messiah to demons, but humanity has more than enough reason to be wary given the unspeakable atrocities he commits.
