Fortunately, he had brought one back.
The device was handed over to the goblin team for research.
The goblins quickly figured out its principles, but they couldn't solve the problem of using a living organism as its core.
To build one, they would have to do the same as the Soul Ascenders: stuff a Human, Demon, or Tiefling into the machine.
Although Zog could have found some death-row inmates to use as living material, the thought still made his stomach turn.
So, research into the Soul Ascender technology was temporarily shelved. The goblins would first look for an alternative, to see if they could develop a less perverse consciousness-interfacing device.
He wasn't worried. If the Soul Ascenders really wanted to create a god from a collective consciousness, the Magic Goddess should be more anxious than he was.
Right now, he had another matter that also required his attention.
Red Alert was mostly complete and ready for a playtest.
