That is irrelevant to the point I am making. Doesn't matter who knows he's END. Natsu was CREATED with the purpose of defeating Zeref. So him naturally developing a move that could kill Zeref is much more believable, than a third party MIRACULOUSLY developing the perfect magic to counter END even though they have never met, seen, or fought said creature.
Not exactly. Etherios are programmed to kill Zeref, yes, but it's more like they're given the instinct to kill Zeref, even if they themselves don't know it. Hell, out of all of Tartaros Marde was the only one that actually had a measure to. The others may have been able to hurt Zeref (I'm assuming he can be cut, drowned, poisoned, etc...although he did tell Mavis she'd live even with her head cut off so I dunno. It hasn't really been established if he just has regular immortality or regenerative immortality.) So Natsu's instinct for killing Zeref to me is no more or less valid than Silver's hatred for demons leading him to learn his magic (which by the way, he explicitly stated he learned it because he learned that E.N.D. is a fire demon it wasn't like he was born with it).

The most Silver can guarantee is that his magic is effective against Etherious beeings but that's not saying much given normal magic worked just fine in the end against the other Etherious as well. Heck he didn't even finish off Marde. Critically wound, yes but the one who actually killed Marde was Zeref.
It's not like Gray or Natsu couldn't have finished off Marde. They were both just more focused with Acnologia/the Book of E.N.D. since Marde was incapacitated on the ground.

Another key difference between END and the other demons. He was made with the body of Zeref's brother as the core. Unlike the Other Etherious who could be resurrected ad nauseum as long as they had those pods and the books were intact.
And that means...what exactly when it comes to killing immortals?
