Uh... still thinking this may be a stomp but- I'm gonna see if I can pull something out of my butt and try and make the best argument I can for it.

First off, Energized Environment always scales to the beings involved in the fight. So no matter how much Bolt absorbs / erases the Energy, it's always going to be incredibly more durable compared to what he can output. Speaking of Erasing, Energy is pretty much Omnipresent, if Bolt absorbs/erases the smallest amount of Energy, there is always Energy to replace it as it is being erased. Jay Grim wouldn't be able to do this either with his absorption abilities either, and the environment only wasn't a problem because, well his Regeneration covered it.

He could try and Chorno Slash straight through it, but Ethan is always going to be on the move, so that's not going to happen easily, he would have to stop time and do it, which, as you said, takes up massive amounts of Energy. And what happens when Ethan makes clones out of it? Which one is he going to hit? Yes, he could make himself clones, but combined with Time Stop and each of them performing a Chrono Slash? I doubt he can pull it off WHILE being continuously being attacked by on surface clones. I am aware that he can exit time to evade attacks, but he can't do that forever either, and it probably takes up energy to do too, with the AP difference, taking attacks by a TON of clones. Ethan would know these facts by, yknow, prior knowledge, which is really the only thing that gives him a chance here.
