Re: Laxus Dreyar Thread
Deliora's roar was street level. There were no skyscrapers. The houses in that town were small. Brago was by all means, a small town. It wasn't a huge blooming capital city like Crocus or Magnologia. The roar was actually relatively small:

Motherglare's roar blew up a mountain:

It's clear as day which attack was larger. Unless you can fit a mountain in the street that Deliora burnt, Motherglare's roar is larger. It's not even debatable. Not unless you purposely warp the scale of proportion.
Judging from the fact that it was the villagers who were gossiping, it seemed that Deliora just recently arrived at the Northern continent when Gray heard the news. That meant he couldn't have spent much time destroying stuff. He certainly didn't destroy the entire Northern continent:

What? Somehow destroying several hundred targets over the span of a continent within seconds is less impressive than going from town to town?
Natsu never oneshotted a dragon. Ever. No, not even in the anime. He just hit a few of them with glancing blows, and then one killed him. None of the dragons were actually defeated. Watch the clip:

How many times had CSK hit Mard Geer? None. How much damage did Sting and Rogue do to Mard Geer? Barely any. Mard's defeat is entirely contributed to Natsu and Gray's efforts, and even then it only took Gray 1 hit to seriously injure him. Natsu really only had the effect of throwing him around so that Gray could get a clear shot. Mard Geer is pretty much the strongest demon out their after END. It takes Acnologia an arm to slay a dragon of Igneel's level, and you want to say Mard Geer is definitely stronger than the higher level dragons?
Deliora died after being stuck 400 years in ice. Ice is supposed to preserve living tissue well. Deliora raised his hands and died. It's ridiculous that you want us to think that this is some sort of major achievement. Atlas Flame was already dead when Silver froze him, and yet even with just his soul he was able to melt all of Silver's ice. That's a display of powerful risidual power. Atlas Flame's ghost > Deliora. The parent dragons survived 400 years after having their soul sucked out from Acnologia, and then a few more years sealed inside a human. Then they come out and disable Ishgar's super-weapon in seconds. You want us to say that Deliora is more powerful because he died after being released? If anything that just goes to show how much Gray and Lyon overestimated Deliora.
Igneel and the rest of the dragons got their souls stolen by Acnologia. Yet, even in their half dead state, 4 of them were able to crush 3000 targets over an entire continent. Igneel himself was able to duke it out with Acnologia for 20 minutes, knock him down once, and then bite off an arm. 4 dragons was all it takes to completely shut down Mard Geer's master plan. Acnologia alone was able to conquer the world in Rogue's timeline, and Rogue was confident that his 7 dragons were enough to take out Acnologia. He even said that only a dragon can stand a chance against Acnologia, and Rogue is someone who fought against Mard. And guess what? Igneel is just a single dragon, and he can stand toe to toe with Acnologia. You want to argue whether demons or dragons are stronger? There's no contest. Let me break it down though:
