I can't decide how I felt about this chapter. Laxus and crew joining Blue Pegasus just doesn't feel right... The GaLe bait was hilarious with Juvia's commentary. But in regards to Alvarez... It just felt like Mashima is trying too hard to demonstrate these guys as a threat. The escalation of Fairy Tail always felt real up until now. For heaven's sake, if Alvarez's best are this strong, they could've wrecked Tartaros without trying. Am I the only one that feels this way? This arc is coming across as forced...
You're acting as if Alvarez wanted anything to do with Fiore or Tartaros in general except LH
Tartaros was powerful but they were never stated to being the strongest. Zeref labelled them as failed projects.
You missed the point. I was comparing the power-levels of the two factions, not their motives.
Zeref labeled them as failed projects, but he's pretty much the strongest wizard ever. The established power levels of Alvarez pretty much says one of them could solo Mard Geer without breaking a sweat. Does that feel right to you?
No they couldn't beet Mard Geer without breaking a sweat, the dude can use curse, also Natsu & Gray won because of Gray and his Devil Slayer Magic, regardless of how strong you are, if you have magic that can nullify (example Marin Hollow with Space Magic) or is super effective (like Devil Slayer Magic, Dragon Slayer Magic), you won't have that much of a chance. Even dragons were affected only by Dragon Slaying Magic, other magics were pretty much useless.
Devil-slaying magic had the increased effect, yes. But two things:
1. Other magics could still work perfectly fine on the demons. Devil Slayer magic was just super-effective.
2. Gray comments that her magical presence is like nothing he's felt before. That's a crystal clear of her power. The increased power trope has gotten completely out of hand with this arc.
I thought demons didn't have magical presences, though. They're made of pure ether and they use curses, not magic.
^This, yup demons don't use magic. Gray said this chapter that her magic power could be above Makarov's power. I think the only other person they reacted like that was against Hades. Ohh and Natsu was scared shitless when Gildarts got a little serious.
Brandish's current level is somewhere near Gildarts, maybe slightly below him. This is a way to hype up the thread, plus Warrod states that there are strong wizards outside Ishgar. Look at Jellal, his family name is Fernandez, he could possibly be from the West, and he is a very skillfull magician.
