There's no way to tell when time is burning. Burning Natsu is more impressive than burning time.
They are the same flames cuz Ignia only used one attack. Mercphobia dropped the entire ocean on the city in an attempt to put out the flames from that one attack, and could only weaken them. Natsu ate the leftover flames, and gained enough power to stomp Mercphobia. Mercphobia used a serious roar against Natsu, and Ignia's flames vaporized the roar and knocked Mercphobia down. Natsu's final attack burned away the rest of Mercphobia's MP and reduced him to the level of a regular human. No matter how you spin it, the power from a single one of Ignia's attacks scales above the entirety of Mercphobia.
Ignia gave a speech while standing right in front of Selene. If Selene was caught off guard, that's on her. Selene tried to sneak attack Ignia from behind, and landed several blows while Ignia was in the middle of talking. Ignia is just stronger than her. Also, Zeref blindsided Natsu too with his black magic. It didn't put a hole in him.
You just spend the last few posts arguing that Natsu was universal. Ignia > Universal (lol) Natsu > Zeref = Pheonix. Zeref has never insta-killed anyone when he values life. His magic couldn't even break free from Gray's lost iced-shell. Natsu tackled Gray to the ground, and melted all the ice covering Zeref. Zeref's not overpowering a roar from Ignia.
