It has been repeatedly stated that there are people and beings stronger than the 10 Wizard Saints, and by extension the Four Gods of Ishgar, outside of the continent. It is not very irrational to assume that there are people stronger than Warrod, Gildarts, Laxus and many others in the Albareth Empire. Saying that because Fairy Tail is now the strongest in Ishgar means that they are the strongest in the whole world is far from correct when it has been repeatedly stated that there are other stronger than them in the world.
