Stripping away divine portfolios could indeed effectively slow the loss of one's personality, at least temporarily. After all, the more divine portfolios one possessed, the more severely one's soul was eroded. None of those greater gods had fused together a heap of miscellaneous divine portfolios. Usually, one or two powerful portfolios were enough to support the power of a greater god.
After all, the power of divine spells was linked to the rank of a divine portfolio's power, and the rank of that power was linked to Law authority. After expending the same amount of divine power, the greater the proportion of "authority" a portfolio possessed, the stronger the divine spells cast by that god would be.
Ultimately, this was a functional process of "the god providing energy to the divine portfolio, and the divine portfolio releasing divine spells." A high-level divine portfolio could provide a high-level power, but a pile of low-level portfolios could not provide a pile of low-level powers. Unless several portfolios shared the same origin and could be fused, no god could distribute divine power among a huge number of portfolios and then release a huge number of divine spells at once, just as a Legendary Mage could never construct a huge number of Legendary spell models simultaneously.
Although dividing divine power was far less difficult than constructing Legendary spell models, the wild surging of immense divine power and the simultaneous activation of multiple portfolios would still place an enormous burden on the soul. Just as a caster's Defensive Spells could not be stacked without limit, this was something no creature could avoid.
Therefore, multiple different divine portfolios could not stack their effects in battle. Gathering divine portfolios onto a single soul was simply a process of accelerating "suicide."
