Chapter 1140 Limit To Power.
The demorgorg system is dangerous to both entities despite all the advancements that Legion has made to streamline the process. It is not as dangerous as the situation Helios was in when he tried to break through and assimilate the Celestial power of the sun god, but these people are no Helios.
Helios was trying to become a transcendent while absorbing the divine power of a Celestial. The giants on the other hand are already transcendents but the tree father had to make the process more dangerous to the demons for the giants of order to have this level of survival.
Now if the danger to both giants of order and demons is eliminated completely, the demorgorg system will still become obsolete because it has a limit of power. The highest rank achievable for the demorgorgs is five stars. That is the equivalent of a titan of law and it requires a living demon lord to be sealed within a transcendent.
The demorgorg system cannot seal a demon king. That is just impossible. The divine power of a Celestial cannot bind a demon king without a violent reaction. This reaction will turn the body of the giant of order into a battlefield and kill them.
If it were possible to seal a demon king, it would require a massive cost in divine energy and the constant assistance of Authority. That means the tree father will only be able to maintain a single six-star demorgorg and he will have most of his power diverted to keep the demon king sealed as long as the six-star demorgorg exists.
That is a foolish trade because a six-star demorgorg will only have the strength of a Sovereign at most. This is because the seal will have to cripple the demon king to reduce its resistance and use it which will lead to a reduction in its output.

Already, the cost of a five-star demorgorg is prohibitive. Demon lords are unique. There can be only one in an abyssal plane. That further limits the maximum amount of five-star demorgorgs that can be created. So there is a limit to the quantity and quality of power even if there is an unlimited amount of transcendents and demons.
As it is, the only five-star demorgorg in existence is Hak. A demon lord is rare but it wasn't difficult for Aeternus to acquire some. But it was extremely difficult for giants of order to assimilate the lowest rank of demon lord.

The tree father and Helios worked while their enemies also worked in the background. Tanya reached the borders of the kingdom of life after making her preparations. The border of the only stable kingdom is very apparent. It is stable because it is not at the threat of being destroyed by demons.
The plane has recovered nicely since the world war and the demon war that occurred after. The demons have sunk down to the depths of ruins where they hide. But some come up occasionally to feed on poor souls.
Any settlement outside the borders of the kingdom of life can be destroyed at any time by demons. There is no helping it because the only forces that can resist them are the demorgorgs and guardians of the god-king.
She stands before the border now. It is unmistakable. It is not an arbitrary line in the ground on a map. It doesn't shift or change across seasons and political fluctuations. The border is visible and indisputable. It is there for everyone to see because it has the might of the god-king to enforce it.
The translucent barrier that she is standing in front of marks the beginning of the kingdom of life. Any demon that sees it knows it is a no-go area. Rebels, like her, also no that they can't trespass unnoticed. That is until today.
