Demi-Gods are the finally development stage of the "Hero Evolution" track.

No one said Leon wasn't "as strong as" a True Demon Lord, on the contrary, he was a True Hero, which is the Hero equivalent to a True Demon Lord.

Leon explained that he was born with a Hero Egg like Hinata was, and it "hatched" during his duel with Demon Lord Kazaream. He then became a True Hero and an Ultimate Skill of the Virtue Series, Purity King Metatron, which is said to be very dangerous against demons and demon-related abilities, like the Sin Series. So not only is he has powerful as a Demon Lord, he's actually very dangerous to the other Demon Lords because he has a power which directly contradicts a Demon Lord's usual power.

So he definitely is as strong as you'd expect a True Demon Lord to be, he just isn't one because that wasn't how he unlocked his power, he got it by "hatching" a Hero Egg. Bypassing the need to undergo a Harvest Festival by gaining the same level of power a different way. It's just Leon's attitude is more indicative of a Demon Lord than a Hero, so he holds the Demon Lord title just as strongly as a True Demon Lord would.

After his fight with Footman, he became a Demi-God, so now he's the Hero equivalent to a Great Demon Lord, like Rimuru.
