Time to science!

This'll be interesting.

If Stacy can't open his brain case, try to open it via some means. Then envelop Stacy's brain in myself, using a moderate amount of biomass to give him a body like this the size of a basketball, with two moderately sized arms as well. Eject his new body once I'm done and reform into what I was.

Use dynamic Will bonus for this; I'm going to need it.

I can do something like that, though it'll be the size of a [basketball] at best. Open your brain case.

Try to intuit what the boxes hold.

Uh oh.

Well, I can't see anything in the boxes, but I don't have x rays shooting out of my head, so I can't be sure there's nothing. Stacy, any preferences as to what type of body you'd like?

9894
Hah! Distraction engaged!

Quickly, make a break for it while they're panicking!

Go outside, that is.

9895
Most everyone would have been. Now I'm broken and forced to spend a few eternities here.

9896
That may be true, but strong as my army and my various allies were, I was stronger by leagues. If they broke me, they could easily clean up what had remained of my forces after the various people I was holding together with charisma and mind control went off on their own. And break me they did. Big climactic battle, broke a universe or three in the struggle, ended with the most noble of their number sacrificing themselves to stun me for a critical strike that I didn't see coming, got my soul torn out of my body and said body obliterated, along with a significant portion of power I'd invested into it - in retrospect, bad idea.

9897
Mainly the fact that I'd grown about as powerful as three quarters of them combined on my own, not to mention the allies I had and my various auxiliary forces, and also because I was in a bit of an empire-building state and I had my eye on their territory. So they formed a force designed specifically to slay me, tailored a legion of heroes to my weaknesses, set upon me with everything they had.

9898
Considering they were the champions of a multi-universal crusade to slay me, each ended up being granted that status of 'good' by the creators of their respective universes. Morality is, of course, irrelevant, but to their universes, they were good because it itself had proclaimed it so.

I don't quite know who exactly they ignored, abandoned, or anything to that account as I was too busy turning their armies to dust ... ah, those were the days. I imagine they did, but again, they had a literal morality licence.

But a mind can be rewritten, destroyed, rebuilt. I should know, I've done it many times. However, a soul, at least where I come from, has certain indelible marks put on it depending on what acts you perform during your existence. For instance, a few people I knew who became heroes of the highest order had souls of the brightest colours, their goodness shined through straight in your face, and you could see just by looking at it that the person this soul was was an inherently good person. Mine was somewhat different when I looked upon it. It's a tell of what kind of person they are. However, even if he doesn't have a soul and his original is still out there somewhere, once killed the original's soul will go to him, since his mind is a copy of the original's. A moot point anyhow, since that blood rune specifically keeps his soul from escaping.
Though I could be mixing up definition again.

The soul that the kid in the armor was referring to is the vessel that the base qualities that make up a person is housed in. The mind is merely the interaction of memories and thought which happen to reside within the soul/brain. The soul typically goes to some sort of afterlife after death, but it is possible for soulless sentient beings to exist, but they are seen as lacking an undefined quality that makes them people, that being the soul. It's all rather soul centric.
