If ASGORE had gone to the surface he could have taken the SOULs of already dying humans. He would have to murder only one person, and monsters would get free years before they would otherwise.

ASGORE isn't necessarily a bad person, but he is a coward and an idiot. If he'd taken initiative he could have spared six human children. If asgore only took one soul to destroy the barrier that will work but if the humans trap him again he will need the other souls to break the barrier so he can be more powerful
