The Demon Emperor gave them an amused look. "You are all being far too modest. I know something of your strength. Although you might not be able to face them individually, I believe that if you join forces, you will have no trouble dealing with them."
In truth, the Demon Emperor knew perfectly well that the differences in strength beyond the nine heavens of the Saint Realm were enormous.
Especially after reaching the peak, strength could continue to accumulate. Essentially, the longer someone had existed, the stronger they became.

Almost all of them were mighty beings who had endured the Five Declines of Heaven and Man at least once. Their lifespans might well exceed that of an entire world.
On top of that, most of them constantly devoured their own kind.
This also created immense differences in strength among these Ancient Void Gods.
But in the Demon Emperor's view, no matter how great those differences were, their effect should be limited.
