Due to his turbulent consciousness, breaking one part off could have possibly led to a complete collapses or an avatar rebellion.
After all, although him and the goblin are the same being, it was possible for it to have thoughts of its own that could even be against him. Deities have sometimes experienced this when it comes to avatars. As it is possible that sometimes an avatar can go rogue.
But this is unlikely for the child, as he not only has direct control over his goblin, but he does feel that his connection with it makes it impossible for them to have disagreements. Because if he two were to get closer and closer, their will shall synchronise. Making it such that their thoughts are one and so is their memories.
