Apologies for my English, this has been translated by Al.

Asterion mentioned that he would swallow humanity to become sacred, and afterwards, he would swallow Nightmare Creatures to achieve divinity. My question is: why doesn't he simply consume enough Nightmare Creatures to become sacred first, and then target humans? I'm currently at chapter 2808 -is this explained later on, or did I miss something? I'd love to hear your thoughts.
