Potential sure, since Estarossa was shown to be Mael she has potential, but I need to see her working towards that potential which I haven't seen yet. Pacifism doesn't fly well in Taizai. In fact out of every somewhat pacifistic character we've seen, they have all be weak till they started training like they meant it. As for the let there be light refrence, that has nothing to do with God. I'm not even sure who came up with it, but it's the biggest stretch I've seen so far. Plus I'm not sure how something exclusive makes her OP. The whale was said to be ridiculous. Just because she made it doesn't make it op.
Potential is something that doesn't disappear, and I'm pretty sure Elizabeth has worked towards her potential in some areas of power, most notably in her ark usage.
I'm pretty sure the Let There Be Light is a reference to God in Christianity, but, I'm really not in the mood to dig out religious text right now, maybe later.
Let There Be Light being exclusive to Elizabeth is a benefit she has over everyone else in the clan. It's currently the strongest spell purification wise, meaning in that area of expertise, she's the most powerful.
If Ludoshel had the same spell, the fight might've gone another way with the Indura. (but i doubt it).
It doesn't make sense because you're comparing an attack that has a huge wind up and power up time to a basic ark attack. That's why I never liked this comparison with her. Ludoshel probably put in half the effort into his attacks as compared to Elizabeth who ended up going all out from the start. Plus attacks differ in usage and potency.
Basic ark attack? Basic implies that Ludoshel applied minimal levels of magic power to each attach, which is incorrect due to the context of the fight. Sariel and Tarmiel just got one-shotted and put down, he was struggling and bleeding, and even uttering a statement about how its an impossibility for the Four Archangels to lose. He was taking the entire battle seriously and was freaking out, so I'm fairly certain he was using the full power of his light magic, especially when Sariel/Tarmiel were shocked when it had no effect. If it had no effect and it was basic, they would've mentioned how Ludoshel shouldn't hold back anymore.
Only difference between Elizabeth and Ludoshel is that Liz applies the 100% of her magic reserves to one spell, whilst Ludoshel didn't. Now, sure applying the entirety of your magic reserves to one spell, does increase its power, but since your argument says that Ludoshel's magic is stronger, why didn't he do the same as Elizabeth, if she a supposedly weaker Goddess can make 2 Indura's at Phase 2 on the threshold of defeat?
For the most part, applying the full reserves of your magic to one spell merely increases the duration, but then again context matters. For Elizabeth, she just extended the duration since there was a tug of war.
Now the problem that I have with Elizabeth's feats isn't that we don't want to acknowledge them, it's just that you guys don't listen to the reasons we put behind them
Indura feat: Our side says give Ludoshel a chance to power up and let us see what he can do if he decides to power up an attack instead of just launching basic ark attacks.
Elizabeth side: Bias, you're salty 100K Ark power
But this argument ignores everything Elizabeth did. And where does it suggest that Ludoshel ''powering up'' and doing the same type of attack as Elizabeth will merit the same or better results? It's speculation at best, which isn't acceptable when arguing factually.
Ark Slap: Our side says that it makes no sense how she supposedly can floor Meliodas instantly when The One cannot even do that. Now, you guys even acknowledge that the feat has exceptions to it, but there are some who still act like Elizabeth can outclass the one in force.
It's not that we don't want to accept Elizabeth, it's just that she is very, very inconsistent with her feats and does things that just don't make sense when you look at them from some angles.
You're ignoring the context. The One literally one-shotted Meliodas, it almost did 100% damage to him, and that was without contact to his body. Did you not read the chapter? The One put Meliodas on the floor, the reason the slice/slap didn't actually put him to the ground, and Meliodas fell over instead is because there was no physical contact, Escanor sliced the air, did damage, and Meliodas fell over. Elizabeth slapped Meliodas, which obviously caused a physical reaction (him falling over).
Also, Meliodas was off-guard, standing still, against arguably the best, or one of the best practitioners in light magic which coincidentally happens to be his biggest biological weakness. What do you think was going to happen? That his cheek was going to break Elizabeth's hand? LOL.
I'm going to assume you thought like this with these events:
*Sees that The One slice doesn't floor Meliodas immediately*
*Sees that Elizabeth slap floors Meliodas immediately*
''Inconsistency! Everyone who argues for the slap is clearly saying Elizabeth > The One''
You're ignoring the context ENTIRELY. It's obvious that the One is far superior to anything Elizabeth has already demonstrated. Had Escanor slapped a off-guarded Meliodas in ''The One'' he probably would've outright killed him.
No, Gowther has stated that your power level rises or falls when you get serious or whatever. And I wouldn't say basic because Elizabeth's powerup during Let There Be Light was basic in and of itself. She's made wings of light since part one. The only difference is that she had full control and knowledge of her power as a goddess.
Proves my point above even further.
Mael was stated to be Mel's rival. Since Mel was the strongest regular demon Mael is the strongest regular goddess since he was Mel's rival. Ludoshel was the person that Mael wanted to surpass so it stands to reason that Ludo was top dog before Mael came along. This is also supported due to the fact that Gowther literally just swapped the memories of Mel as a brother with those of Ludoshel. Plus if Elizabeth was Ludo level, wouldn't it have made sense that he wanted to surpass Elizabeth since according to you the AA apparently recognize her power?
This is really you, just jumping to conclusions.
Just because Mael is the equivalent to Meliodas, does not mean he is the rightful heir to the Supreme Goddess, or is the second strongest in the clan. If Mael was naturally that stronger than everyone else, wouldn't he get the fancy title of ''second to SG'' by now, just like Meliodas? We haven't seen yet this, and to be honest, I'm not surprised since:
A) Elizabeth's PL/Power has yet to be fully revealed, or her relationship with her mother etc.
B) Mael's entire power and status is because of the Supreme Goddess, without her, he would arguably be the weakest of the Four Archangels. Meliodas achieved second strongest on his own, whilst Mael didn't, hence no title.
C) He isn't the second strongest, and it's actually Elizabeth.
