Then the Monsters and Humans must endeavour to create a failsafe should that ever happen, a way to ensure a Monster is incapable of absorbing Human souls. Hopefully a collaboration Dr Alphys and human scientists can come up with a solution. Either way, considering Frisk pretty much met every Monster down there and not one of them has the capacity to go down the route of collecting that many Human souls I think we're pretty safe. I know what you'll say, it's a risk but no risk is too great for the promise of peace.

And thus I see no risk, Monsters thirst for peace now more than anything and are far too ill equipped and out numbered to restart the war.

Asgore later confided in Frisk he said that out of blind anger. If you pay attention to Asgore even for a minute you realise he's not that kind of a leader. He wanted to keep the hopes of his people up with his declaration but he truthfully wanted nothing more than to see his family agai. Long story short Asgore is no warmonger. What do we use campfires for? Cooking. Ovens and microwaves do the same thing! Why not just do that? Perhaps we could just ban fires.. Near flammable buildings. That would still prevent all fires, and allow us to use it a little more.

Except I'm convinced such a failsafe simply doesn't, and cannot exist. Can you think of a good failsafe? (Make sure to use Undertale's mechanics) When you come up with it, say what it is, and I'll look for flaws. Also, we already have a way to have peace-Just make another barrier! Both races can live in peace! The barrier was the goal of the humans the whole time:Why do you think we actually ACCEPTED the monsters' surrender? Oh, by the way, this time, let's not forget to add the other side of the barrier. Don't want a human falling down Mt. Ebott and killing everyone there, or freeing the monsters. Because there are bad humans too. We're not all innocent like monsters think they are.

They have peace already! In the Underground! And, I do NOT believe they were trying to achieve regular freedom-They WANTED to kill humanity. Frisk may or may not have changed their mind about that, but it doesn't change the fact that somebody, monster or human, WILL try to destroy everybody. (Yes, a human could cause the end too. By killing a Boss Monster and taking its SOUL. Humans don't know whether or not that would have unfathomable power, as it has never happened before, but it's best not to take the risk.)

While it is true that Asgore did this out of blind anger, and did not truly wish to fight (He didn't really want to kill Frisk), when he said that, the monsters, filled with hope, wanted this to happen, and for real! ESPECIALLY Undyne!! Asgore might have not wanted to declare war, but once he did, the monsters went along with it. But they were sincere about it, unlike Asgore. (Especially Undyne) They didn't try to make peace with the humans whatsoever, the plan was to kill them all. The only possible exception is Alphys, but she more than likely just wanted to break the barrier earlier to start the war earlier.
