There is an interesting story in Indian mythology, about Goddess Kali… where Rakthabija was a demon who after a lot of penance asks for immortality, but since he can’t get that, he’s granted a workaround – that every drop of his blood that touched the ground gets transformed itself into another Raktabija. The gods tried to kill him but within a few minutes of striking this asura with their weapons, the entire battlefield was covered with millions of Raktabija clones – and basically the gods were in big trouble.
[ The story goes on to say that on the Gods panicked and upon their request, Goddess Kali finally solved the problem in a very innovative way – she spread her tongue all over the battlefield and consumed every drop of blood that fell on the ground – thus preventing further cloning 😉 ]
