That's true. I'm saying he had the POWER to destroy everyone. What if someone absorbed a SOUL like he did, but actually WANTED to destroy everybody? They easily could!

I agree here. But my point is, the monsters believe otherwise, and that's why they were willing to take the risk of becoming extinct after being freed. Because they thought it wasn't a risk at all!

Oh, and they were going to take the extreme. Asgore flat-out declared war on all of humanity! Dear God does the notion of a campfire or old fashioned barbecue escape you?

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.
