What if Harry used a Darkhallow to consume all the creatures on demonreach?

Shift8:
Basically the question in the topic. This would seem to eliminate all of the moral problems with a normal darkhallow, namely killing all the innocent people in the vicinity. Instead Harry would be performing it on a remote island on a bunch of unspeakably evil...and immensely powerful creatures.

This would make Harry a starborn, so resistant to outsiders, with the most overpowered Darkhallow transformation into a god ever. I mean he would have to be stupendously powerful if he consumed the things that are in demonreach instead of just regular people and spirits.

TheCuriousFan:
You are what you eat is a rule that runs through the series, he would be evil and utterly insane if he did it there (or dead and having triggered at least a hundred separate apocalyii if he tried and failed) along with being saddled with restrictions to match the new power.

The_Sibelis:
He could conceivably resist turning because of the you are what you eat thing.. I think Rashid does it all the time, he's so pure and joyous he can contain the purity of evil that would probably be the actual lovecraftian outsiders.(long story/theory). The main thing though is that like DR, the beautiful must balance and contain the ugly. Or like MW/MS, the good follows the bad by inherent opposite attraction. I think Rashid does this on the level of his soul. Harry could pheasably do the same. The real issue is the combined power of all those things being sucked in would probably rip the life out of everything on the planet as a result. No, the only way Harry will dark hallow on demon reach is if everyone is already dead anyway. And then it might not be a darkhallow per se...

Mr. Death:
You already had a long topic years ago asking this same exact thing, and the conclusion is the same now: Eating a bunch of thoroughly inhuman immortals would definitely change Harry.

That's how doing such things works in this setting.

We have no evidence to suggest Rashid does this sort of thing at all, let alone that he does it "all the time."

We have tons of evidence that absorbing power from negative or powerful things changes the person who does the absorbing.

So if Harry did a Darkhollow on Demonreach, he would cease to be Harry Dresden.

Conspiracy Theorist:
At the least he would have terrible indigestion.
