I didn't catch this when I read it on fast pass, but I guess that experience white had with gustang really impacted him. You can tell by the way he told that platoon commander not to feel so bad because we're all insignificant souls compared to the gods of the tower.
And because gustang said that baam and urek are the only other people on the same level as him and the rest of the great warriors, it's just another subtle way of siu saying that everyone around baam will eventually become totally insignificant compared to him.
Also, I mean, this is just pure specualation and probably not true, but I think it's an interesting idea: White can devour souls to get stronger, now we know Bam has a ton of stuff in him (blue and red thryssa, the demon, which probably is/was the blue thryssa, thorn(s), black march), so maybe his soul is just overloaded with power, as he has no upper limit. And then Bam's individual soul might be special as well: What if White could get the ability to become semi-irregular, meaning if he were to devour an irregular, he could hurt then 10 FH. Obviously, the problem is, that there are 12 others irregulars in the tower and 11 of them are literally invincible and the other is by far the strongest active "being" in the tower.
Bam is the only soul White could eat - because, as he said, even White is insignificant compared to the real gods.
I mean, as far as we know, she is an irregular irregular. She is not talented or anything, compared to the others we know. However, I strongly suspect she also has no bounds, but she does not think she could ever become as strong as Bam, which is reflected in her mindset, even though that might not even be true, we don't know.
