No, no, Tenshi only plays at being incompetent because she WANTS to be beaten. If she really wanted to I think she could give 90% of the cast a damn tough fight. She's being sincere, here.
She isn't actually a masochist either, she just wanted to have violent entertainment (no, not sexually) just like how youkai did instead of being restricted in Heaven.
Well, it is pretty easy to misconstrue "Go ahead! Punish me! If you don't, I'll destroy Gensoukyou!"

"Oh... I'm so happy that I'm crying... Weird, isn't it?
From here on out, no matter what happens, I will watch over you and protect you with this sword..."
