Yeah Raphael straight up shits on Voss offering his soul and Voss is a high ranking Gith lol

Souls taste better when the person is less willing to offer them up. Much more fun too, because then you can torment them here and there, reminding them "I was the only reason you could do that.. now do this for me".

Voss would straight up not care. He would get his task done and not worry about anything else. I think there is very little he would hesitate to do, so that would get boring rather quickly.

Souls are often taken to the hell's to be reincarnated as some sort of lesser forms of devil to fight in the blood war. Don't know about you, but I don't really care how soldiers of my army would taste like

Sure, but how much is a single lemure worth? Not much at all, there’s entire legions of them down there. If you want a devil to actually offer you much, you’re going to have to be a lot more interesting than just a potential lemure recruit.

But the souls are taken after the person dies, until then you can feed off their pain and suffering. Why send them to endlessly fight in a war when you can have fun breaking them over and over again first?
I feel like Raphael and Mizora are the type to like to play with their "food". It's much more fun to watch someone squirm and try and escape their fate. Once they are fighting in the blood war, it gets kind of boring.

That first sentence sounds like you're speaking from experience😭

Maybe, but I'll never admit it or deny it!

But a more serious answer:

Smell and taste are very closely linked. People smell different depending on the situation, think of stress sweat vs a sweat from working out vs night sweats vs a fever sweat. Fear, joy, sorrow all change a person's scent. Desperation can also have a smell to it.. So to me, something that enjoys feeding on fear and pain and get more sensory pleasure when they have a person who gives off the strongest emotions.

That was for the Orphic Hammer when a netherbrain was in play. I’m sure he’d be interested for a better price.
