I never saw a thought projection cracking like that.
This idea that Gildarts didn't use any magic to fight Bluenote with is ridiculous. Gildarts was willing to use crash magic on the rocks, and sometimes even uses crash magic absent-mindedly walking around. In the first exchange with Natsu, he accidentally used crash magic because he didn't have time to hold back. There's absolutely no reason he would willingly choose to hold back when actuallly throwing hits against Bluenote, especially when it's confirmed that he was extremely angry with Bluenote.

Ultear is still alive as an old lady. What we saw against Dimaria was merely a thought projection. Unless the thought projection is capable of something Ultear herself is not, then I don't see why arc of time wouldn't serve as a defense.
I do agree that August shouldn't have Chronos though. That doesn't necessarily mean his manipulation of time is weaker than Dimaria's though. He does have higher magical power.
Well, it's probably because Ultear couldn't maintain it for very long. It is a thought projection though, or at least that was Dimaria's conclusion after she slashed at it. We can see Ultear as an old lady at the very end of the chapter after the fight against Dimaria.
Wow I missed that. So she still was an old ladyWell, it's probably because Ultear couldn't maintain it for very long.

Well, it depends on the dragon. I think it's entirely possible for mages like August to be stronger than a fire dragon like Atlas Flame. So a dragon slayer with Atlas Flame's magic wouldn't necessarily have a higher potential than August. When it comes to gods, we don't really know if Chronos' power level surpasses human limits. August doesn't really have to overpower Dimaria in his control over time either, and I'm not sure if that would really serve any purpose tbh. He just needs to make it enough so that he can move within Age Seal and turn this into an actual fight. If Ultear can do it, then I think August can.
You're pushing it! August magic is vast & diverse as he is given a kingly title, & his flames were powerful but hell to the no is he on same class as Atlas Flame.Well, it's probably because Ultear couldn't maintain it for very long.

I don't understand why not? There were dragon slayers 400 years ago who would have had slayed dragons as strong and even stronger then Atlas Flame. Why is it impossible for August to be stronger then Atlas Fame? His fire attack was larger then anything any dragon has shown apart from maybe Acnologia/Igneel roars and it was so devastating that it injured Natsu despite him being a dragon slayer. Even someone like Silver managed to overpower a portion of Atlas Flames power, with a disadvantageous element at that. Motherglare, a dragon emphasized for its durability and who had been withstanding all of Atlas Flames attacks with little effort was basically one-shotted with an in-direct attack from Natsu (albeit with a boost from Atlas Flame), that Natsu wasn't that much stronger then Future Rogue, who in turn pales in comparison to Spriggans, let alone August.
In fact, that is extensively debatable. For all we know, August & Irene might well be above regular dragons and even some parent dragons.
Atlas was already fading away when Silver froze him, keep in mind it was just his soul that was the Guardian Deity of Sun Village and not the full Dragon like what came out of the Eclipse Gate...also as soon as he was unfrozen he proceeded to unfreeze the entire village and that was with his dying will...so I'd put a healthy Atlas above Silver...
It's a massive stretch because you don't account for fundament reasons why those who bathe in flames all their lives -- Flame Dragons -- would be more special, more proficient & more potent than those who simply learn the flames -- August.
I think there's a misunderstanding here. Everyone else is claiming that August OVERALL is stronger than Atlas Flame, while you seem to be comparing just the fire magic that both of them use. You guys are talking about different things here lmao
I see it this way. August is to Atlas Flame what Hiruzen is to Madara (Naruto). Both have flames, one is more versatile -- The Professor-- but the least versatile is more potent & proficient with his flames.

No misunderstanding. Read through what sharkai said about potency -- as he argues why it's a stretch to consider August being able to match Dimaria with his own -- assumed -- time magic.
I don't really understand what August and Dimaria have to do with this, but from what I can tell no one else is trying to say that August's fire magic is more powerful than Atlas Flame's. They're just saying that overall as a mage August is stronger.
It has everything to do with it.
Whether the level of Spriggans and Super spriggans (August/Irene) is above, equal or below to that of dragons is yet an unanswered question as we remain featless. August has only shown a laser beam and an arguably big nuke. I recall a nuke from Motherglare superior to August's but I hardly remember, besides I'm talking about the anime so maybe it was not as big. However, we can only rely on hype, and hype proclaims August as having 'MP which defies logic' (Mirajane, scared sh*tless with tears in her eyes) who actually fought a GMG dragon (Zirconis) and didn't seem scared in the least. So I'm inclined to think August is overall a tier/tiers above dragons. The community ranking has proven mangahelpers posters regard GMG dragons slightly above Spriggan level but slightly below Super spriggan level.
Kotsh and Ice trail are both cannon. You need to do your research bud. And dude you're making sh*t up.

Those rocks are not mountains. Are you joking?1)See at the base of the image,mountains are shown being damaged.It is much above being mountain level.It might even come near island level.If this attack is used in Tenrou then 70-80 Percent of the island would be destroyed.
2)Mountain level is not much matter now as top tier fighters are now all mountain level.Just Natsu's aura in FDKM is mountain level.
3)Gildarts is no doubt fast but Bluenote was fast enough to keep up with him.And Gildarts couldn't one shot him.
4)Mira never commented that Gildarts's strength defies logic atleast i don't remember it.
Not gonna respond to the rest of your points just yet cause I don't have time, but there's no way in hell Gildarts only used a casual punch to destroy the mountain.
Did you bother seeing the next panel?
The one after that.
I fail to see how his expression AFTER the punch holds more weight than his expression DURING the punch.
