"Blood Calamity's rule-based ability cannot affect energy lifeforms or energy bodies."
Upon closer examination, this was Blood Calamity's true weakness. The other so-called weaknesses were merely methods of circumventing Blood Calamity's abilities; they could not defeat it.
Yet this weakness clearly pointed out how to defeat Blood Calamity: have energy bodies and energy lifeforms face it in battle.
When Ning Tai's clone and the phantom clone had dealt with Blood Calamity before, Blood Calamity had not used its rule-based ability. It was not that it did not want to, but that using it would have had no effect.
That was because Ning Tai's clone and the phantom clone were both energy bodies. They simply had no bloodline to speak of.
They had happened to evade Blood Calamity's strongest rule-based ability.
Blood Calamity had surrendered so quickly partly because the power of Blood Calamity had been weakened, and partly because it had been facing Laplace's energy clone.
Angel now understood why the Divine Blood Clone had said earlier, "Good thing she didn't go. Otherwise, things might have capsized."
That was because the Divine Blood Clone had a bloodline within her.
If the Divine Blood Clone's bloodline rank had been lower than Blood Calamity's, things truly might have capsized.
Had she gone, she would instead have easily become a burden.
After hearing Blood Calamity's weakness, Angel pondered. "Although Blood Calamity's rule-based ability cannot affect energy bodies, it should have methods for dealing with energy bodies as well."
Laplace nodded. "That's right. Energy bodies only restrain Blood Calamity's rule-based ability; they do not restrain Blood Calamity itself. So even an energy body needs to have a few tricks up its sleeve if it wants to defeat Blood Calamity."
At most, energy bodies could drag Blood Calamity down from its "altar of rules" and
