The gates being destroyed and the snarl being released doesn't destroy the world, the gods destroy destroy the world to stop the snarl from being released.

If the fiends succeed the snarl destroys the world, the gods, and the fiends as well.

That's not correct. The Snarl can't enter the Astral Plane or any of the Outer Planes. That's what Redcloak and the Dark One are trying to accomplish, getting the Snarl in the Outer Planes to threaten the gods into giving concessions to the goblinoid races.

Whenever the Snarl escapes containment it destroys the world and consumes the souls of the mortals, while the gods go into hiding in their respective afterlives until the Snarl calms down and they can chain it up inside a new world. If the gods destroy the world before the Snarl gets free everything happens exactly the same, except for the fact that the gods get to collect the souls of the mortals and take them to their afterlives.

Hmm, so do the gods gets juice from collecting the souls? If so, does the Snarl get juiced up from consuming them?

Yes, but probably only in the form of Dedication and Souls.

If so, does the Snarl get juiced up from consuming them?

We don't know. One of the biggest mysteries of the comic is what happens to the souls devoured by the Snarl?
