A normal godclad will die instantly if their head is impaled or heart is crushed.
This is the case for godclads from rank 1 to rank 3. But an epic godclad would be able to survive these two kinds of injuries because their bodies have been transformed by divine flesh.
The exact mechanism of mitigation is to convert spiritual energy into life energy. That way, as long as an epic being has spiritual energy, they can always maintain the function of their bodies.
As long as an epic being is alive, their injury will be able to heal. This healing will take some time and not every type of injury can be healed, but maintaining the life of the epic godclad is certain.
But Bleed makes it so that a tiny injury will become fatal for an epic being by draining them of their life energy quickly. Even if Bleed doesn't lead to their death, it will cause a lot of indirect damage to them.
