Laxus: 1) Mopped the floor with Natsu without even using Lightning Body or his DS magic (and after playing with Mystogan and Erza and after wasting a good amount of Magic on Thunder Palace which finished off the entire guild. Erza included.). . 2) Gave Hades a good fight and could've kept on fighting him for a while if it wasn't for the damn plot :( 3) One-shotted the top 5 members of Raven Tail with ease (Ivan included). 4) Beat Jura. The strongest human Wizard Saint. 5) Easily One-shotted Tempesta (who overpowered semi-PoF Natsu without even using his Etherious Form.)

Minerva: 1) Got one-shotted by SO Erza (who wasn't anywhere near 100% thanks to Kagura and her messed up leg). 2) Got abused by SO Erza using only her fists.

Laxus takes this handily any day of the week/month/year. GG no re.
