Emperor-level Bosses, unless they are unlucky enough to suffer a downfall due to some major event, do not experience replacements. For this reason, having reached their current status through their own abilities, these Emperor-level Bosses might not be as powerful as demigods, but their pride is certainly not a hair less.
Indeed, those demigods currently have the advantage in strength, and it is precisely because of this advantage that, although dissatisfied with the demigods entering their territories, the Emperor-level Bosses still primarily sought to negotiate, without any intention of starting a war with them previously.
However, as the demigods finished speaking, everything changed.
Because they were inferior to their opponents in strength, those Emperor-level Bosses didn't contemplate initiating combat. But their reluctance to fight didn't mean they lacked courage to do so, and now, insulted by the demigods, they naturally sought to regain face at all costs.
