@Collbrande

You basically just contradicted yourself. She was overwhelming an Ultimate-class devil. Regular high-class devils wouldn't be any match for Rias and her team early on in the series. And that king was an Ultimate-class devil. No matter how he compared to others of the same rank, he was still at the level of an Ultimate-class devil. And Rias' Power of Destruction depends on her level of demonic powers and the strength of the opponent she's facing. Rias can't destroy anything and her POD can be blocked by stronger opponents like Diehauser. If she was overwhelming an Ultimate-class devil by herself, then she is at that level. Would you say that Issei isn't Satan-class despite him being able to defeat Barakiel, a Satan-class opponent?
