I'm tired so lets go straight to the point. The proposal for this thread is something along the lines of Low-Godly Regeneration for demons :
Low Tiers/Lesser Demons:
In the Devil May Cry universe, demons are many kinds of evil spirits and they also can send their consciousness from the Demon World to the Human World from small gaps and they can also rebuild their bodies when they are possessing things and even materializing themselves when they died, once their rage and fury are mixed together to create the demons called Soul Eaters.
What does this mean exactly? Demons are able to travel from the Demon World to the Human World through the gaps that exist in Sparda's seal, these gaps only allow such lowly things like insects and/or their consciousness to reach the Human World and there they are able to create bodies using materials, as seen above some are capable of using sand to create new bodies completely.
As per this thread the need of local matter to rebuild a body is considered Low-Godly with a weakness or a limit, so Lesser Demons will get "Low-Godly regeneration" and another weakness added with something along the lines of "they need a specific element or material to create said body"
Of course this would not be exactly dependent on the soul as the demons summoned are spirits while others send their mind/consciousness or essence as you might call it.
As a side note, since the demons manifest from the demon world into the physical via projecting their soul, they'd have type 9 immortality due to the fact their soul and physical form reside on different planes.
Higher Rank Demons and above
Despite lesser demons being able to send their consciousness to the Human World, this is something that the high-ranking demons can't do since they have some problems, one of those being because of their powers are to great to the Human World to handle, and they can't posses humans since they will lose their sanity when they are possessed by them forcing a sort of auto destructive state, reason why they need specific means to travel to the Human World. In those cases a ritual or a portal powerful enough to hold their power is necessary.
This would be somewhat counterproductive as it doesn't support the idea of them being able to regenerate from their minds/souls but lets take a look to what happens when a High Ranking Demon comes to the Human World in all their glory (Power, original body and soul).
Demons are beings capable of becoming Devil Arms by either crushing them and gaining power over them or becoming friends with them. (Becoming a devil arm is a way for demons to survive in battle against stronger opponents but it forces them into servitude as they lack the power to fight back the one who defeated them, if a demon gets enough power to fight back then they will reform their original body and challenge their master once again. In the case of the series the devil arms we know of are incapable of that in any way since most if not all server under Dante's command.)
What exactly is a Devil Arm? As the scan above said (if you read it) is the manifestation of a devil's power or soul taking a physical form. Some Devil Arms are born like that while others are created from existing demons (and all of them are conscious beings) and by the time of DMC5 we come to learn they are able to reform their bodies from this state again with one example being Balrog who recognized Dante's power and decided to become his servant to become stronger and when he does he will challenge Dante to a fight again. This is unlike the lesser demons who need to posses nearby materials to create bodies as their power is too great they will end up corrupting and destroying their vessels. Basically High Ranking Demons are able to become Devil Arms (their souls taking a physical form) and from that creating their bodies again (from a physical manifestation of their souls back to their own bodies).
Theres a demon called Berial who can become fiery soul and escape from Nero. There is more to this as the novel Deadly Fortune explains another high-ranking demon called Lucifer was unable to defeat Dante and instead of dying he decided to become a devil arm, in the same page Berial which comes back with body and faces Dante. Berial was fighting Dante and looking at Lucifer in the state he was in (A devil arm) He also thought about surrendering to live serving Dante, but the only reason that he didn't do that is for pride, the idea of being of his soul being forced into a servant didn't sit well with him, in this moment he tried a kamikaze attack destroying his own body and attacking with his soul itself, moments before his death his very own soul (as described moments prior) felt the need to surrender to Dante but the self-respect he had was enough to carry on with the failed attack.
Back to DMC1 we have Nelo Angelo aka Vergil, son of Sparda, who was capable of regenerating after complete destruction of his current body after being defeated by his twin brother Dante in Mallet Island and this was done, despite his soul being put inside the Nelo Angelo's armor by Mundus. His body in unknown state probably being destroyed by Mundus long ago.
Along with Nelo we have the Generals Mundus sent to the human world in order to do 2 things, open a massive portal stable enough to let him travel there and to defeat Dante. The interesting part is that these demons are "core demons", demons who can regenerate their bodies back as long as their "cores" are intact, such cores being their essence or soul as you might call it. (This is already accepted and implemented in the profiles by the way, just being mentioned to show that this kind of regeneration is more common than we originally though)
Mundus was capable to regenerating after complete destruction of his body after being defeated by Dante when he absorbed the powers of his father Sparda sealed in the Devil Sword Sparda.
Argosax the Chaos is a being made of many parts of demons and also have all their abilities including the same core demons mentioned above.
What would this result for the demons in general in general
Lesser demons get either "limited Low-Godly regeneration (They can reform their bodies from nearby materials using only their minds/soul/whatever it is)" or just "Low Godly Regeneration" with the weakness added in the corresponding section.
High rank demons get just plain "Low-Godly regeneration (they are capable of creating bodies from their soul and/or become their soul directly)" or something like that.
The twins and Nero get Low Godly only in their true forms (Devil trigger) meaning 3 to 5 Dante/Vergil and 5 Nero have this level. DMC4 Nero doesn't since he doesn't have a demonic form just a manifestation of his powers awakened by Yamato (and he should get a weakness/note/downgraded for DMC5 saying his powers and regeneration lessen in 5 since he lost a big portion of that demonic power in the form of his arm and the sword).
This would upgrade the High-Mid Regeneration Negation from the Sparda boys to straight up Low-Godly levels of potency, since they can negate high-ranking demons's regeneration since before awakening their demonic powers, this would also give than Low-Godly regeneration because they scale above demons even when they are kids and the regeneration is also going to be combat applicable too (Including, of course, in base form in the Mallet Island events), since they not being able to regenerate and adapt from their abilities against each other sometimes, is just than neutralizing their Accelerated Development, Reactive Evolution and Resistances abilities and maybe even Negating Resistances and they surviving in a weakened state and also regenerating their bodies later is just than resisting the level of potency of their Negations abilities to some extent at that point in the series.
Edit: Forgot to mention but thanks to the DMC server, guys really helped a lot and specially to Mister who did like 99% of this thing, I just came in and stole it :'v
