This is the same crap with Lostbelt Artemis all over again in differing forums because "Even though the story and everyone states she can tear through Planets, she can only destroy Islands because that's what's shown".
Nvrsqr's Imitation of the Grail Mud, the Primordial Sea, requires being able to destroy a Continent for any of it and Nasu all but stated Artoria can destroy that.
The Actual Primordial Sea/Grail Mud is all but stated to require needing AAS-level power to even destroy it and even in Kagetsu Tohya, it was heavily implied you would need to destroy the World itself to do so... and Artoria destroyed that(As well as Quetzalcoatl burned that).
Hell, Rin's Jeweled Sword Zelretch destroyed it in Heaven's Feel III and Calvaro Star is stated to be Excalibur level so it can do that too.
You can say I'm "going too far" but I'm honestly not and I can go and actually back all of that up so yeah, Dartz has a point or else we might as well pretend Goetia's AAS can't blow straight through the Planet or isn't the size of North America when it clearly is.
