I think they may try to flip it this time, with original Golbez being our Shard. Instead of them using this as a case of us absorbing the soul, it'll be used to help Durante realize what he has become and try to stop Zeromus in the end as we rekindle the hero in him along with the memories of the original Golbez. So we won't get the soul, but it WILL be used as a plot device to fix the problem.
