It's not a status ailment, it's a passive effect. They can't exactly just remove it, and they can't really just Regen it off, especially if they have contact and immediately disintegrate. Even if they can put up a Divine energy barrier, they have a limited supply in comparison to a perpetual need for the spirits to sustain themselves. Actually, on top of that, if they spend their Divine energy on not immediately dying, they wouldn't exactly have much to spare negating their Low Godly (and even on top of that, does Divine energy actually have feats of taking out Regen that good?)

If they just start immediately bailing from a lack of options, what exactly stops the spirits from nuking the area and all it's oxygen as a result? They don't have self sustainance to their side and they can't exactly shift into a state that doesn't need it. If Ethan and Ariana just spam as many cheap tricks as possible, they have no reason to treat this as a straight up fight and will gladly scorch the earth to oblivion (made especially worse by the fact there's no outside interference to give them reason to not do so to the entire planet)
