This is still an AP stomp.
It is an outrageous NLF to assume that The Ruler can close such an enormous AP gap--and even putting that aside for the sake of arguement, everything in the manga and third-party materials emphasizes that The Ruler only inverts magic. Hell, the point is even made in the series that the Supreme Deity, the Demon King's rival and opposite, has an ability that makes her immune to physical attacks, one that is pointed out to be the opposite of The Ruler; this is a thematic duality meant to emphasize that they are perfect foils to one another--the Demon King is a very physical fighter and doesn't have good magic, while the Supreme Deity is a highly magical fighter and isn't that great a physical fighter. I think it's a poor translation that Makai is using to justify his arguements--it is explained THOROUGHLY that rather than "reflection of magic", The Ruler works on "the inversion of magic", and that all MAGIC directed at him is inverted in intent. With this in mind, the arguement that the Demon King could just invert a Madara clone kicking him in the side of the head with planet-busting AP is preposterous.
Not to mention that nothing that DK Melodias can do besides purely physical attacks have a chance of hurting or affecting Madara, because he's the Ten-Tails Jinchuuriki--and in a battle of physical v. physical, where Madara has an outrageous AP/Dura advantage and invisible, intangible Limbo clones that DK Melodias will not be able to react properly to (just because some form of Melodias sensed something in another dimension in his own verse doesn't equalize to Melodias being able to sense something in a dimension he's completely unfamiliar with, that literally requires Six Path Sage energy/a Rinnegan to perceive--that's, again, an NLF), Madara wins 10/10 times, with hilariously easy diff.
Going to request this thread be closed as a stomp.
