Cyrus wanted to use Dialga and Palkia's powers to destroy the universe so that he, as the new god of time and space, could remake it (and everyone/everything in it) but devoid of spirit, which he believed was responsible for all hardships in life. While this is probably the most heinous intent of any Big Bad in the main Pokemon games, many people overlook the fact that Cyrus was planning to restore all the lives he'd take if his plan succeeded, and that he sincerely believed he was doing the universe a service. He also never once intended to physically harm anyone, and even respected the player character - enough to give a free Master Ball!
