Sorry, that's just how it goes, Zeref doesn't bullshit and stands no gain from lying, so yeah, Acnologia wasn't truly challenged by IgneelYou don't get thrown around, get your face dragged across the ground, get knocked unconscious momentarily, get your arm torn off by someone and then state they didn't challenge you.
I mean the evidence is he got his ass beat before and after the 400 Year GapThe sounds just as much copium as your applying to Igneel's statement about still waking up. We also have no clue how their first fight went. Saying Igneel's statement is copium is hella headcanon, we have no evidence he is lying.
I mean the whole point he came to the future was to be stronger than 400 years ago and him coming out in Tartaros is specifically meant to be the right timeAnd doesn't like magic get created by something super natural flow something interacting with your soul or spirit, so if his soul was sapped or partially stolen, it might stand to reason he couldn't use magic as well as he could.
It's flat out stated ethernano levels are way higher than they were back 400 years ago, so Igneel was likely stronger
I'd be willing to say 400 Years ago Igneel and Tartaros Igneel are equal and practically equal to Acnologia as well, but this idea that he has a Prime State that is far stronger than his state in Tartaros is completely unsupported
