Gildarts is said to be the strongest Fairy Tail mage by a couple of miles at least. Gildarts fought against Acnologia and managed to survive. He easily overpowered Natsu in the S-Class trials on Tenrou Island.
Though Zeref was an immortal with incredibly powerful magic, he had one fear: Acnologia. It turned out, however, that the reason why Zeref wanted Acnologia gone was that he was afraid of being tortured by him for the rest of his eternal life.
Truth be told, there are only 2 possible , but unlikely also, wizards. The first one being August and the second being Natsu. If you count Acnologia as a wizard, he is most definitely stronger than Zeref.
2 ACNOLOGIA (CAN'T BEAT) His ability to transform into a full-grown dragon grants him enough power to devastate most of the world's strongest mages. But, even in his human form, he can pulverize the strongest of mages in one hit. Natsu, on his own, would not stand a chance against Acnologia.
Immense Magic Power: As one of the Five Dragon Gods, Selene possesses an immense amount of Magic Power which is said to be equal to that of Acnologia. Her power is strong enough that it can affect Earth Land by creating storm surges while being in Elentir.
No. Having infinite magic wouldnt make you a universal being. It just means you can spam attacks without exhaustion. Zeref doesnt have a move in his arsenal that can destroy a universe.
Irene and Gildarts were defeated by Acnologia, and even Zeref couldn't beat him (therefore organized a plan involving the dragon slayers to defeat Acnologia), Natsu beat Zeref, but was only able to beat Acnologia with the help of the other dragon slayers, Natsu has yet to beat Gildarts, but that is because he hasn't
Acnologia's physical body being trapped in Fairy Sphere affected his Spiritual body as well, finding that he couldn't move at all. Natsu then took this chance and dealt a massive blow to Acnologia, destroying him in a single punch and therefore destroying his physical body as well.
When Acnologia entered the battle, then Mard Geer said that Acnologia is afraid of END and have come to slay END before its reborn again. That proves it. Also, END defeated a god which uses magic and is also the most powerful curse user.
1 He Was Killed by Natsu A number of fans found Acnologia's last moments very dramatic as he acknowledged his defeat and passed on the Dragon King title to Natsu.
The Gold Dragon GodViernes (ビエルネス Bierunesu), also known as The Gold Dragon God (金神竜 Kinjinryū), is one of the Five Dragon Gods that inhabit the continent of Guiltina.
Natsu is at least planet wiper level because in the first fairy tail movie, multiple characters stated that the phoenix had enough magic power to one shot all life on the planet.
In a fight between the three, August will certainly win, difficult but he wins. Even Zeref Base is obviously stronger than them in terms of raw power magic besides being immortal and with his Contradictory Curse and Black Arts.
Outcome: Acnologia is victorious. Igneel is killed. Acnologia is moderately injured.

In summation he doesn't destroy a lot of large objects but seems to ignore durability(nothing could tank him). THEREFORE he can destroy anything that occupies the space of a mountain or less in one hit regardless of durability(fantastic in 1v1 but sucks vs an army).

At full power, Makarov might have bigger chances of winning, but let's not forget Gildart's skills. Alright, this might've been an obvious one, but Natsu got really strong by the end of the series. It would be interesting to see an actual fight between them.
Acnologia is a fight fought between the Team Tenrou and the Black Dragon of the Apocalypse: Acnologia.
After trying to self-destruct in order to generate an explosion big enough to stop Jiren's energy, Android 17 was badly hurt, making the others think he was dead. The biggest modification he underwent was that they implanted a core of infinite energy inside him. This energy gives him many unique abilities.
Creation. In Do Not Go Gentle, Esther modified her original spell and turned Alaric into an Enhanced Original vampire. Since Esther's spell called for the need of the doppelgänger's blood to cast the Immortality Spell, she took the opportunity to bind Alaric's life to Elena's.
