Yeah that's the scan, ultimately he believed the GB wouldn't stop Ego, who from what I've seen is < the elite skyfathers.When he hit Surtur and Ymir it BFR'd them but never actually physically defeated them, a weakened/hungry Galactus generally is also < elite skyfather level and he was able to survive the initial attack. Wasn't that an "amped" godblast aswell? I recall it wasn't a typical style gb at least.
With regards to Zelia, the GB didn't seem to cause her great damage, it certainly didn't stop or "cripple" her. By your own admission you believed she was somewhere around Zeus/Odin and yet Thor's final attack didn't put her away. I agree in that the "Zeus wins easy" claims are a stretch but it isn't unreasonable at all to believe he wins.
He felt the Godblast would hinder him significantly enough to the point where Ego would be more inclined to talk. Ego, like many cosmic beings, has showings which fluctuate from being >= high heralds to being more in like with beings such as Galactus. In any case, how the Godblast would've ultimately phased Ego is anyone's guess (including Thor's per Astonishing Thor), but a statement means little in the way of actual on panel evidence.
Surtur/Ymir being forcibly warped to another dimension by a Godblast should tell you just how potent it is. Two skyfather beings and peers to Odin were transported against their own will. Further more, the Godblast there was a glorified BFR attempt and not the same as the type he's done before historically. As far as Galactus goes, him fleeing for fear of his life is again not anything that discredits the GB or makes Zeus look better, starving or not.
I suppose I should have posted the next scan instead of assuming everyone knew what happened next or taking my word for it.
Zelia was clearly crippled, laying there bleeding out excess energy and stammering before a very weakened and drained Odin grabbed her and took back his energy before scattering her across solar winds (which I can also post if needbe). And she amped by her entire pantheon + Odin/Asgard's energies. That makes her clearly > Zeus.
It's extremely questionable to think Zeus wins after getting hit with a Godblast - which is going to seriously hurt him - and forcing him to fight in H2H only against Thor, who again - and I'm not sure why this is being ignored or dismissed - significantly amped. To get to such a conclusion is, imo, pretty silly.
The fact that no one is posting any Zeus feats or even citing any is also telling in of itself.
