Intro
Before I can post the ap thread upgrading the characters, I have to fix/address the current scaling
How Strong is Megiddo
Early on in the story we were lead to believe that Megiddo was on the level of the other 6 Kings for example, his fight with Lilywood ended in a draw (Chapter 120). However later on we learn he is in fact the weakest of the 6 Kings, but still on another level compared to other peerage holders (Chapter 417). This is again stated that he is one step inferior to the other 6 Kings (Chapter 631).Despite that Megiddo is able to clear the 6 Kings Dungeon whose final boss is on the level of the 6 Kings (Chapter 1412), and each boss on each floor is stronger than Peak Count Ranks (Chapter 1015), hence why no one besides the 6 Kings have cleared a single floor, with their only a few exceptions as to who could possibly do it (Chapter 1584), Ozma and Pandora imo could clear a floor. Megiddo is again stated to be superior to other Count Ranks including Ozma (Chapter 797)
How much Stronger is Megiddo Compared to a Peak Count Rank
The golems made based on the 6 Kings, gain the power to compete with the real 6 Kings after all 6 of them fuse (Chapter 1411), which means there is at least a 6x difference in strength between Megiddo and a Peak Count Rank
Addressing the Possible Issues with Megiddo Being Stronger than all Peak Count Ranks
During the Final Arc, Shiro strengthened 200 of the High Ranking Gods to be as strong as some of the 6 Kings (Chapter 563). The War King Camp and Dragon King Camp could fight with the Gods strengthened by Shallow Vernal, basically due to skill (Chapter 833). Regardless of how skilled you're, it only goes so far, so there can't be that massive of a gap between Peak Count Ranks and Megiddo/6 Kings.
Ozma is stated to be stronger than Megiddo (Chapter 480), and oddly enough he is one of the few who hasn't challenged the 6 Kings Dungeon (Chapter 1413), so there is seems like there would be some room to argue with the statement that no Peak Count Rank has ever beaten the 6 Kings Dungeon, because Ozma hasn't challenged it. Yet 20,000 years ago when Ozma and Megiddo were equal in strength, Ozma stated he was near his growth limit (Chapter 1514), while Megiddo and the others would continue to grow. Logically with 20,000 years passing Megiddo should be stronger than Ozma.
Carmellia, who was a Peak Count Rank was able to one shot the God of Sky (Chapter 833), who has a high position even among the High Ranking Gods (Chapter 833). Pandora is the strongest Count Rank (Chapter 833), and Ozma can beat her, though they are relative (Chapter 799). Pandora is even able to overwhelm the High Ranking Gods (Chapter 833).
So how were Peak Count Ranks able to overwhelm and one shot people on the level of Megiddo or some of the 6 Kings? It's due to something I overlooked before, which someone else brought to my attention. It's stated that only the Gods magic power was boosted, and their combat experience is fatally limited, similar to Iris, they can't fully handle the power they were given (Chapter 623) When Iris was in a similar situation, she was far stronger than Agni, but because she couldn't handle her body, she could barely fight Agni by staying in one place with a barrier around her and blasting magic (Chapter 410). If we consider how magic power is used to achieve superhuman abilities, having a lot of it and not knowing how to control it explains all the discrepancies like Pandora overwhelming people who should be superior to her, they didn't know either how to handle their power to move out the way and avoid Pandora's attack, and they didn't amp their durability to 6 Kings level.
Megiddo Scaling
All the characters who are scaling to or above Megiddo who are Count Rank, should have that scaling removed, because he is far above them.
6 Kings
By concentrating all the powers of the Pleiades, which has 6 members who are Peak Count Rank, into one person, they can become as strong as the 6 Kings (Chapter 827). This is the 2nd such statement, you could assume it's just referring to Megiddo who is the weakest, but the plural "Kings" is being used, and then coupled that with Megiddo drawing against Lillywood, and the other statement about Gods being amped to some of the 6 Kings level, meaning they weren't amped to only one of their level, but multiple, I think logically while Megiddo is weaker than the rest, they should be relative, there isn't a massive difference.
Overall the difference between the 6 Kings and Peak Count Rank is somewhere around 6x.
Next i will get into the Hero Party which kind of ties into this whole topic.
Why The Hero Party Could Defeat a Peak Count Rank like Vier
Back when the Hero Party (Neun, Laguna, Fors and Hapti) where travelling to defeat Vier, their strength was on the upper ranks of Viscount, almost Count Ranks (Chapter 1933). Vier is stated to have terrible fighting ability, with her offensive ability being near the bottom of Count Rank (Chapter 886). So Vier's ap was close to Neun and co, so they could tank her attacks and there were multiple of them fighting her.
In addition, Vier was stated to be in her worse condition when they fought her (Chapter 487). So they shouldn't scale to Vier in her normal condition.
Neun's Current Tiering
Back in the main story, Neun and Lilia were relatively even, this being a Lilia who doesn't have 2 year time skip for the after stories, and the subsequent training she got from that, and became Mid tier Count Rank. So safe to say both were Low tier Count Ranks.
By the final arc Neun is stated to be Mid tier Count Rank, and through accelerated development was able to deal damage to a High Ranking God (Chapter 630). The High Ranking Gods were strengthened to the level of the 6 Kings, however as shown in the previous sections, that was only their magic power, and they don't know how to handle this power, so this feat isn't usable imo.
Neun got stronger, but to what extent? It also doesn't help we haven't seen her fight or gotten any statements about her strength since this, was the boost even permanent? So all we can say is she should be above Mid Tier Count Rank.
