I think that by becoming an "Overlord", it simply means that Kouta would ascend to the point of becoming a physical god- and thus be able to reshape the world however he sees fit. Keep in mind that by the time Roshuo transformed the surviving [spoilers]humans[/spoiler] into Overlords, he had abandoned all hope. He'd lost everything. He simply turned them into what he felt best represented their true nature. Hence, "dying the world in his colors".

I can only hope Kouta doesn't fall into the same despair.

I just can't shake the feeling that Sagara is manipulating him and advancing his own agenda.

That sounds reasonable. "Dying the world in your colors" is too vague and could mean anything. but i don't think becoming an Overlord would be without sacrifices.
