It does because Neo's consumption requires him to be relative enough with the object he is consuming without causing himself harm, which was one of the reasons why he couldn't devour Derous's attack, because it produced vastly more energy compared to what he could consumed in that instance.
It's even further supported by the fact that when Neo Acacia was consuming everything,
he started to balloon up as he body was having a hard time containing all that energy.
Because by nature of Neo being at the top, he'll be above the Cosmos Mammoths. If you assume that they're above Neo, it would contradict the statement, structurally.
The statement doesn't only talk about Neo's consumption, it deals with Neo, the entity, itself. Neo is also physically strong enough to completely doodoo on the Eight Kings. Because of this, we don't assume the statement is only talking about his consumption, but also accounts for his other attributes as well.
I never said that didn't involve other factors. What I did say is that one of the main reasons why Neo couldn't devour Derous's attack was because of the amount of force it produced, being above Neo's ability to consume it. You're selectively reading that statement.
It has nothing to with its size, it has to do with its destructive force (I.E, the energy it produces, which is distinct from its area of effect)
Toriko stating he's in the process of destroying the world is enough information to assume he is until further evidence contradicting it is provided.
Firstly, the initial slap was significantly smaller compared to Neo Acaica's Gourmet Grasp, so they can't be compared to the destructive ability, on the environment.
Secondly, the next image, you conveniently left out the following images that shows
some of the Gourmet Punches are larger than the actual planet itself, and the one you selectively used was one of the attacks that was smaller compared to the planet. It's also important to note that attack occurred while the planet was reaching the final stages of being filled with
so much Gourmet Energy that it contained and will release a superior amount of energy compared to a supernova, which was calculated to about 4-B by
@Arc7Kuroi. That doesn't contradict what is claimed, but rather supports what I'm, and many others have said.
Teppi, with the help of
Jiro,
stopped the collapse of the planet beyond its GBE.
I don't really care to address this point since this argument was merely further support to the idea of these characters being around that level, so I'm fine with dropping it.
I however don't agree this interpretation is anyway better compared to what I argued. Until evidence is shown of either being more likely the case, both claims will be assumed equally possible.
