@Memor-X  http://aminoapps.com/page/anime/3056970/top-10-strongest-high-school-dxd-characters This link is pretty good too. I agree with pretty much everything he says and he even references the volumes to defend his point of view. I didn't make a clear ranking considering the exact ranks of some of them is opinion-based. For example, Sirzechs is stronger than Hades, but saying he's number 7 is an opinion, we don't know if Thor is stronger for example.

generally you should link to your source in your question....is what i want to say however from your link in one click someone can download the unofficial fan translations of High School DxD, this is different from a site translating an interview of an author, but on the other hand your link shows it comes from the light novel itself. for the moment i'll edit your question to indicate where the quote comes from. if you get information from fan translations in my view generally it is acceptable to indicate where in the material it came from like i have done

<p>Who are the strongest beings in <em>High School DxD</em>?</p>

<p>If they can be ranked, it's even better. If not, at least I'd like to know why they are strong.</p>

The leaders of each faction should be the strongest. In Devil's case that would be the 4 Maou. The Great Red and Ophis the Ouroboros is also among the strongest, but we cannot tell who is the absolute strongest since they don't fight much. They are just strongest from being said as such.

Who are the strongest beings in *High School DxD*?

If they can be ranked, it's even better. If not, at least I'd like to know why they are strong.
