That doesn't mean Samael is stronger. What you don't understand is that something called "affinity" and "advantage" exists. If you had read the examples I offered you would know.

Samael can only harm Ophis and GR because its curse is specialized to kill dragons. Keyword is "SPECIALIzED"  That's what it can do. Samael has only been shown destroying dragons and mentioned as just that, meanwhile Ophis and GR can destroy all kinds of things, that's why their stronger. The same way a bullet is still stronger than a crossbow bolt even though a crossbow bolt can penetrate a bulletproof vest.
