Legendary figures like the Sword Master, who ascend a whole tier, are exceedingly rare.
But the Emperor is different.
The Emperor possesses skills within the Saint Realm that even among demigods are extraordinary.
—Although still half a step behind some pure-technique monsters in history.
He has a source of divine strength that completely crushes the demigod tier.
—Far beyond the other demigods' comprehension, of a different dimension altogether.
He possesses a body that surpasses a demigod's.
—This master even once killed the Balrog Flame Demon Lord using pure physical strength alone.
And with the innate soul strength granted by the power of arrogance.
—He even has extremely strong soul attack capabilities because of the power of arrogance.
It could be said that, even the Emperor's weakest aspect surpasses the peak as the world knows it.
