Right, which makes sense because Laplace would have had hundreds of years after Kazaream's "death" to become stronger, while Kazaream was serving Yuuki as Kagali.

Honestly, I feel Kazaream was no stronger than Clayman. All the Clown Troupe is Demon Lord-Class, its just Kazaream was the one that survived "proclaiming" himself as a Demon Lord, which is want earned him the position and authority over the rest of the troupe. This is probably the case, because when Kazaream "died" Clayman effectively took his place and the Clown Troupe followed Clayman after that after he enforced a claim as a Demon Lord.

But the joke at the end of the day is that they are all still just Self-Proclaimed-Class, which means they are A+ rank at best, which is a joke compared to a True Demon Lord, let alone an actual Great Demon Lord. As far as we can tell, Great Demon Lord have, at a minimum, 2.5 times as much EP as a True Demon Lord, which means they are twice as strong.

Kazaream wasn't even a tenth this strong. He only reached S-Class after becoming a Seraphim, but even that puts him far below Rimuru, which is a true Great Demon Lord.

Honestly, I feel the "requirement" is being a species that can handle that level of EP and having corridors established between subordinate True Demon Lords.

In other words, Kazaream over step himself, because his subordinates may have been Demon Lord-Class, but not True Demon Lord-Class, and Kazaream wasn't even a True Demon Lord, let alone a superior species that could actually classify as a Great Demon Lord, which as we've seen is as being x2.5 stronger at a minimum than a normal True Demon Lord.
