Can't believe I've never made a comment in this thread. Ok, here's my analysis regarding her power:
- Her magic release alone pushed everyone away and made the Induras wary about her, something that it didn't happen once with the AA (even though Ludo wasn't going all out). Then, she proceeded to push back the Induras and make them desperate for resisting their light in Mel's words. Of course, she needed help at the end, and she used most of her magic in the process, however none of that makes her look bad as none of the AA, as far as we know could have defeated the Induras alone.
- She was able to stand just as well as 2nd Mark Mel against the Gods. Now, I've seen people here commenting that this feat doesn't count because we don't know what happened, and I agree with that, we don't know what happened, however we can take some conclusions judging by the images. We can see Eli being just as damaged as 2nd Mark Mel (who is at 200K). That means that she at least did take one attack from the Gods and their attacks couldn't have been less than 200K since they were damaging 2nd Mark Mel.
- At her weakest state, she was able to destroy Derieri's hand with an Ark. I know that Derieri was catched off-guard and she could have protected herself against that perfectly but it is still an impressive feat judging that she was at her weakest state (she didn't even have her memories yet).
- With memories she was able to easily purge Melascula, a member of the Ten Commandments whose PL is 34K and also she was able to slap an awakened AM Mel with enough force to send him flying across the room and bruise him. Reminding that an awakened AM Mel should be easily over 200K since he trashed Zeldris who is no-selling attacks from a 201K Ludo. To point out something, Mel allowed her to hit him and he arguably wasn't prepared for that slap, even though none of this makes her look bad.
- We also have a statement for Mael in which he compares her power to the likes of Ludoshel and 2nd Mark Mel. I've seen people saying that this statement is biased and laughable, however I don't see how it is. Goddess Eli has plenty of feats that support the idea of her being comparable to these people (like for example pushing back the Indura who were overwhelming Ludoshel or standing just as well as 2nd Mark Mel against the Gods). In addition to this, Gowther didn't even deny it and said that the reason he was chosen was because he killed OG Gowther's lover. Judging by the context and feats, I don't see how that statement makes zero sense. Her wings (which depict the rank of a Goddess and most of the times power) are comparable to Ludo and Mael also.
These are all the positive feats and statements that Eli has if my memory is right. Now let's look at the negatives:
- She got oneshotted by Derieri's punch. Yes, she was caught off-guard but that's no excuse. The AA have taken the same or even greater damage, and they were off-guard too. That doesn't speak well of her durability.
- Her Ark in Human body with Memories didn't do anything to a 60K Estarossa. Now, you could argue that the reason why it didn't was because he was originally a Goddess, however, he also broke through the Ark with pure darkness.
- She got damaged by one of Chandler's minion soldiers when she was running away from Camelot. Another feat that doesn't speak too well for her durability, even if she was caught of guard and is in a human body.
- She was pretty much unknown to the DC and also she didn't have a Grace but honestly, if we look at her character' background this makes sense. We know that Eli won't fight unless it is a last resort and she didn't want to kill the demons at all. Why would the SD give someone a Grace, a power that is supposed to be used for destroying the demons to someone that doesn't want to destroy them? Finally, Ludo said that if she were to join them in destroying the demons, her mother would break the curse on her, showing some signs that her mother still cares about her and wants her back (possibly for her power most likely?).
These are all the negative feats and statements that come to my mind right now. It should be noted that two of them are from her being in a human body in which she should be weaker. The proof that in his original body she's stronger is that when she was holding the AM Mel that got defeated by Escanor she said this: “With my power as it is now, I may not be able to stop him if he fully reverts”. Additionally, a Goddess Body should be all the way better than a Human Body.
Honestly, my overall stance is that her magic power is amazing and she definitely has the capacity to hurt people that are on the 200K range. Her overall durability is pretty poor but she probably can compensate that with magic (like magic barriers or something? It would also explain why she was able to tank at least one attack from the Gods but was oneshotted by Derieri's punch). As far as we know, her battle experience and reactions are not the best either since she rarely fights. I'd say that she sits around 200.000, she definitely has power but her battle skill, experience and personality holds her power a lot in my opinion.
Of course, this is all my opinion and it isn't a fact. Thoughts?
