Acnologia didn't drop out of the sky because of face either. Again, there are difference between Igneel's wounds and Acnologia's wounds. Igneel wasn't coughing up blood. A bloody lip isn't the same thing as coughing up blood.No, the blood is disproportionate from where it was located to the blood on his head, because unlike Acnologia, he did not drop out of the sky from the loss of magic. Not that he wasn't feeling Magic loss as well. It does not matter what you elaborate at, the volume makes a clear comparison between Face and EMPs, the end result is all the same. Skiadrum was not already fighting and tired and draining of magic like Acno and Igneel were. The flames were immediately nonexistent next panel on the same page which does not mean squat, so he was effected by Face, simple as that. There is no evidence that Igneel can kill Igneel, even at full power, because we do not know how much percentage Igneel was when he fought Acnologia, but likely not the significantly low. Merc 100% can be measured by the ocean he lifted which can be calculated. I am saying that a lot of time has passed and these DG can very well be stronger than even Igneel, besides what is a king to a god? Acnologia is different from other dragons so he is outside that logic
Nowhere in the manga/volume has a comparison between an EMP and face ever been made. I don't even know where you're coming up with this.
It doesn't matter if Skiadrum wasn't already fighting. He was using magic. Acnologia had enough magic to maintain his dragon form, and Igneel was using magic to create flames even as face was activated. The flames were present after face activated and before Grandine destroyed the first pillar. So Igneel was using magic right after face activated.
Why does there need to be evidence that Igneel can kill Igneel? It doesn't matter what percentage Igneel was at when he fought Acnologia. He had enough power to knock him out. Even if you don't believe Igneel could knock out Acnologia, he still undeniably hit Acnologia so hard that he coughed up blood. Igneel also bit off Acnologia's arm. All things that Mercphobia would not have been able to done to an opponent as strong as Acnologia, like Ignia.
Lifting the ocean isn't as impressive as knocking out Acnologia or biting of Acnologia's arm. Ignia literally swam through Mercphobia's ocean. When Ignia launched his attack, Mercphobia actually drops all of the water he lifted in an attempt to put out the flames. It was unsuccessful. The remaining flames had enough power to make Natsu stronger than him. Ignia would have easily beaten Mercphobia if he had fought personally. He's stronger than Natsu. Ignia would lose an arm fighting Igneel.
God Dragon and Dragon Kings are just titles. The dragons on Ishgar recognize dragons as powerful as Acnologia their kings. The humans on Ishgar call dragons as powerful as Acnologia as gods. That just tells us a king to a dragon is basically a god to a human.
