The world chat channel exploded with activity.
[Fk! There are too many demonized monsters here, and they're pouring from underground like an ant swarm!]
[Reminds me of the 'Zerg'!]
[I thought the GM was mistaken, but this… it seems that the information wasn't exaggerated. The native surface creatures of this planet were already slaughtered, and they apparently hid underground. Now, our presence has drawn them back up.]
[Still, just these things are so strong. How terrifying must the actual Dimensional Demons be?]
[Be thankful that we aren't facing those demons. They are on par with Haru's Angels.]
[Don't hold back! These monsters are our shortcut to power. After we clear them out, we'll probably be strong enough to face the demons!]
[After this tournament, millions of us Castle Lords and our troops will become Gods!]
[Together, maybe we could even destroy the Great Aetherium…]
[Where did this idiot come from? Block him before you get infected by his idiocy.]
Today, no Castle Lord dared to compete with Haru. Even the top-level Castle Lords of major alliances had submitted. Anyone who tried to incite their alliance to provoke conflict with the Great Aetherium was immediately blocked and kicked out by their alliance's leaders.
They had one clear response: If you want to die, then do it alone. Don't drag the whole alliance with you.
Then a new message appeared:
[Check the leaderboard, you won't believe your eyes!]
[As expected, Lord Haru is invincible!]
[I just calculated that his points alone are greater than Rank 2 to Rank 100 combined!]
[How many troops did he bring?!]
…
Haru stood at an altitude of tens of thousands of meters, flanked by Celestia and Yvonne.
He was probably the only Castle Lord not personally participating in the battle against Demonized Creatures. At a peak High God, it was far beneath him to personally kill mortal Demonized Creatures. He simply watched over his thirty legions.
In his spare time, he opened the leaderboard as well.

[Demon Slayer Leaderboard]
1. Aetherium Empire: 138,000,000 Points

100. Ice Elf Kingdom: 256,000 Points

"I've accumulated almost 140 million points." Haru smiled with satisfaction. The gap between him and the second place exceeded one hundred times. The unique reward for this event was already in his pocket.
…
A million kilometers from Haru's position, tens of thousands of Castle Lords had gathered together. The special thing about them was that every single one of them was a woman. They were all members of the alliance known as the Sisterhood Collective.
Normally, Castle Lords and Rangers who used the teleportation arrays would arrive at random locations on this planet. However, by using the same teleportation array ensured that they would stay together.
Another important thing to note was that after becoming supernaturals, the mana naturally enhanced one's physical form. There were no ugly women among them, each looking like a living work of art.
"Lord Haru is too strong!" One of them exclaimed.
"Over 130 million points… let alone is, even sister Diane, who is a True Goddess and personally battles against the Demonized Creatures, has less than one percent of his points! How can his points be so much higher?"
At the front of their formation, the alliance's troops battled waves of demonized creatures while the girls gathered at the rear and talked. A dozen times more would have been understandable. After all, Haru's empire was recognized as the strongest castle force, but this was far beyond their expectations.
"I suppose it makes sense." Another girl reasoned, "Under his command, there are hundreds of God Tier Angels or Elves. Including the Demigods and Saints, the number of demonized creatures they've killed must be astronomical."
Another girl suddenly teleported and said, "The Beast Tide event was so close because none of us have developed that much. But now, his first place was practically guaranteed from the start."
"Sister Diane!" All eyes turned to the figure who suddenly appeared. It was Diane Hayes, one of the founding leaders of the Sisterhood Collective. Now, having ascended to Godhood and having joined the Nature Pantheon, her influence had grown even greater. She was the undisputed strongest Castle Lord beside Haru.
She held a divine staff, dressed in an elegant Elf-style dress. Hearing their words, her beautiful features showed no disappointment, only calm composure. Since visiting Haru's empire alongside Elunara, she had understood his strength far better than any other Castle Lord.
Hundreds of Gods served under him, and he had seven Level 9 barracks. If she knew there were eight now, she would have been left speechless.
"Don't compare yourselves to Haru." Diane said with a smile, "Our goal is to strengthen ourselves and our troops while staying safe. We'll compete for second place."
She felt no competitive urge toward him as she was a newly ascended Goddess while he was a peak High God, commanding Angels that even Elunara, one of the oldest Supreme Goddesses had to respect. There was no competition at all.
