Jack is hungry for power and has envied Ralph's position as leader throughout the novel. Since Jack is a hunter himself, he would be the obvious leader because it takes a hunter to kill a hunter. The boys' fear of the beast is the basis of Jack's power. This is also important because we have to recall Simon's suggestion that the boys themselves are the only beasts on the island; although he doesn't realize it, Jack (who is a hunter himself) is saying that he IS the beast.

In Lord of the Flies what does Jack sacrifice to the beast?
Jack's denial that they killed the beast reveal about him that beast still exists. His plan that they keep on the "right side of the beast" suggest that people frequent make offerings to satisfy the beast. I think Jack truly believe there's a beast because he had seen it on the mountain top. His continuing to promote the existence of the beast to the others give him advantage over them by making obey him if they want to be safe!
