Zeref is the strongest. Not August. Not Irene. Why should Zeref have them as his underlings in the first place when both of them are stronger than him? I call BS. They can't do shit to him. Zeref can't die and he can probably fuck them both up in like a second (it feels like I already said that a million times). Anyway, Mashima has written himself into a corner. Like at that time in Naruto when Madara Uchiha was too powerful. Kishimoto had no idea how to defeat him and then came up with some bullshi*t. The exact same will happen in Fairy Tail. I guarantee it.
