dissolved, disconnected, broken.... ended

“I expected this reception,” said the dæmon. “All men hate the wretched; how, then, must I be hated, who am miserable beyond all living things! Yet you, my creator, detest and spurn me, thy creature, to whom thou art bound by ties only dissoluble by the annihilation of one of us.

breakable

The meaning of dissoluble in paragraph 3 of the passage likely refers to something capable of being dissolved, broken down, or terminated. Without the specific passage provided, I assume "dissoluble" is used in a context like a relationship, bond, or agreement (common in historical or legal texts, such as the Declaration of Independence), meaning it can be legitimately ended or dissolved. For example, in the Declaration, dissoluble describes the political bonds between colonies and Britain as something that can be rightfully severed under certain conditions.
