Why was everyone freaking out?
I'm currently at volume 14 of the Light novel where rimuru awakened his 12 subordinates as Demon lords and named them the Twelve Chaos Guardian Lords. However, I'm confused about the reaction other characters are giving to this, like yeah I get it's crazy that he now has 12 demon lords as his subordinates but that's not why I'm confused.
First of all the main reason from what I understand how rimuru was able to awaken the others was by giving them the souls of the dead. If it's that simple how didn't guy do it? Surely guy has taken the lives of many humans during his years that he acquired the right amounts required to awaken Misery and Raine right? So why didn't he do it?
Furthermore Millim even said she herself can't awaken demon lords like rimuru can so instead she has to rely on training her subordinates. Though, I'm confused whether she meant as in she just doesn't have the right amount of souls since she hasn't killed any humans since the kingdom she wiped out, or if she meant she just lacked the ability to do it overall regardless of souls.
Can ya'll clear this up for me? I don't mind spoilers, I'm just confused on why characters like Guy Crimson especially haven't tried it yet. Surely a demon who existed since the dawn of time and has been allowing his demon subordinates to run amok in human territories would eventually accumulate the required amount of souls over the years right?
