No I never said they were at the same level of strength, I said it wouldnt make sense for laxus to lose 1v1. I also said tempesta is most likely weaker than other 9bdemon gates bc his mission was for 1 person vs era like jackals mission. Imo silver/kyouka are the strongest considering they listen to her but silver froze a freaking dragon andbhis magic kills demons.

Im sure tempesta is cool but however, im not seeing him as being stronger than those two. Also, I didnt expect ttht to happen but I knew laxus would get hurt and cause natsu to do what he did, I thought about it all week I just didnt know how laxus would get hurt. By the way considering tempesta just kill 100+ people by self destructing im not saying he is werk either. Im also sticking to my guns about what I think E.N.D will be.
