Alright then I guess you made your point. But I will try to powerscale them through statements. Makarov said that Jura was on the same level as Gildarts and Laxus barely beat Jura. Now the 4 Gods of Ishgar were stated to completely outclass Jura. Which puts them above Laxus and Gildarts. Now the Spriggan 12 were stated to be on par with God Serena, the strongest of the 4 Gods of Ishgar and August was stated to be on a completely different level compared to the other Spriggan 12. Based on that logic, this would mean August>Other Spriggan 12 members and God Serena>Other 4 Gods of Ishgar>Gildarts>=Laxus>Jura. Although the version of Laxus and Gildarts that I used here are before the second timeskip. I have no idea how to rank them in their current selves. All we know is they got a lot stronger (not sure for Gildarts).
