The Ghoul Clan's strength lay in their mode of evolution. They only needed to keep expanding their territory and wait for their Ghoul Nests to evolve.
The more time passed, the stronger they became.
The Demon Emperor's advantage, meanwhile, was that his people were individually very powerful, with immense potential.
They only needed a period of accumulation, purification, and sublimation.
