No reason except how a big underpinning of the show ever since Necrom (and arguably since Specter) showed up has been how people aren't inherently evil, just varying degrees of misguided.

He definitely hasn't shown remorse but the show's made it very clear he has to force himself really hard to be as much of an a**hole as he is. That's why he doesn't even let Alia finish her usual spiel this episode. He's worried he might start to believe it. It's also why they explicitly have him hesitate when he says "this is for the best". He's plagued by doubt and in massive denial about that fact.

Think of Adel like Micchi from Gaim. Of course, I remember people refusing to believe he'd ever get redemption of any sort either, so...

I think they've made it plenty clear he wants to save world(s), the same as everybody else. What's there to be confused about?
