I don't often say this but that is just idiotic. There is something called the cycle of death and there is a balance in that. It is a Shinigami's job to keep that balance. If that balance is thrown off, the entire cycle is thrown into chaos. Rather than Souls following the cycle, they just die. That means eventually, life ceases to be. The Vandenreich have already shown that they are trying to destroy that balance. By slaughtering the Shinigami, they are killing the balance keepers and ensuring that eventually life will not exist. The Vandenreich are evil, the Shinigami are good.
