So I know that you can't replicate "use four lenses to destroy creature's soul" thing just due to ebon lens not having spell attack for causing possession, but are players allowed to keep all four lenses upon Belcorra being eaten? Nothing in book really implies that lenses get destroyed, so doesn't that mean if players want to, they can keep carrying all four lenses in fulcrum lattice with them?
(note: I think investing all four of them in fulcrum lattice might be deadly though unless Belcorra had above average Nhimbaloth's attention :D)

Not sure (my group just started book 2) but the way I read it you more or less 'fire' the essence of Nhimbaloth from the lenses into the target creature (Belcorra). After all lenses have been fired, the concentrated essence of Nhimbaloth attracts te Godesses's attention.
I figured afterwards the lenses would be 'spent' as the essences are released. So the remaining lenses would be nothing more than fancy pieces of glass.

Yeah but at same time its told that the four lenses were originally just part of larger set of lenses where others were lost.
Like I thought of that as myself as well and it would make sense as well, but nothing confirms it either way so I'm curious how people will interpret it

You are right, apparently the lenses aren't spent, strictly speaking:
(...)The lens doesn’t have any magical abilities until the possession effect ends; when it does, the essence returns to the lens.
Though I can imagine it's different with Belcorra as its Nhimabaloth herself that 'reclaims' her essence.
I think I will rule that the lenses crumble tot dust, as the eldritch energy that powered them returns to its source.
I don't see any reason why to not let them keep them. I'm sure it's something they could have fun with.
