Terminology: "Swallow" and "All the Worlds"[1]
These two terms or variations of them are used in evidence (I'll provide below in the other sections) so I wanted to avoid latter confusion/disagreement of their meanings. For "Consume/Swallow", each would imply destruction especially given the surrounding statements or at least the lead up to destruction before a quick destruction (will discuss latter) given one specific statement, but we actually get visual confirmation of what it means in an earlier episode. In episode 44, we see Dark King destroy a planet and then the Seeds of Darkness refers to it as the Dark King "swallowing another world". We see what seems like a gradual destruction before it quickly shifting to full planet level destruction . That means that Swallow does refer to destruction and the one statement refer to it more as a lead up remains true.
The Second term(s) is that whenever the Queen of Light, Elder, or Kiriyu refer to "All the Worlds" or "the World", they are referring to the Universe. They are most definitely not referring to a single planet as we already saw regular Dark King destroy a planet as well as perform a feat that was solar system level. So, "The World" would go into its other meaning as the Universe (the words for world and universe are often the same in Japanese).
"All the Worlds" can easily be seen as another way to refer to the universe, but let's look at the show to justify this interpretation. The Queen also refers to the situation as "everything will be swallowed by darkness". In that same notion, when Nagisa responded by saying everything will be destroyed when Kiriyu said "all the worlds", he didn't correct her.
We also have Dark King's statements and actions. He states that he wants to be "still quiet in the darkness", meaning things like stars would also need to be destroyed which obviously more than just planets. He also affects time-space with the tear in space so he is clearly affecting things other than just planets. Thus, "All the Worlds" and "The World" refer to the Universe.
Statements[2]
It is stated multiple times by multiple characters that the universe will be destroyed.Both the Queen of Light and the Elder of the Garden of Light state that all the worlds will be "thrown out of balance", "consumed by darkness", and "collapse" before being consumed. The Queen also states that "the World" will forever be plunged into darkness when Dark King obtains the Prism Stones.
She also states that everything will be swallowed by Darkness. We also have Kiriyu reaffirm this by stating that all the worlds will be covered in darkness. He also agrees with Nagisa when she was referring to his above statement as "everything will be consumed by darkness".
Dark King himself is not disappointed once he obtains the Prism Stones and states that he wants the Universe to be still quiet in darkness.
Are the Statements Reliable? Yes! All of these characters are familiar with the Power to Create and the Power of Darkness (and consume) as well as Dark King's plan. It is also stated multiple times by multiple people so it's not just some throwaway line. It isn't hyperbole either since the Queen is physically struggling with holding the universe together and we saw from episode 44 that Dark King could affect a planet outside of the Dark Zone while remaining in the Dark Zone.
Affecting Space[3]
When they said everything, they meant everything. Space itself is affected by this. It allowed Kiriya to return when he was trapped in "the space between light and darkness", but even more explicitly is that Dark King causes several rips in space. We see such a rip on Earth and it managed to bring the Cures from the Dark Zone to Earth.
Regarding the Universe Shaking Calc[4]
One of the things we actually see is that the universe shakes as a result of this power. Shaking the universe has been calced at Multi-Solar System level. So, does that mean this is only MSS level? No!
This is due to the fact that the shaking was not the full power of the feat. The statements above about the universes destruction already gives us an idea of what is actually happening. We also know that the Queen of Light was holding back this power the entire time. The power that was shaking the universe was just the power that the Queen couldn't stop (it was leaking out).
Also, the guy who created the shaking calc said it would be universal if it fully collapses and becomes a void. We have the elder saying all the worlds (the universe) would collapse and we have the Dark King's "Still Quiet" statement which sounds like a void. Thus, the universe shaking is not the limit to the power we saw, nor does it contradict the feat being universal.
Is it Universal?[5]
With all the statements and nothing contradicting it, this is indeed universal.
Conclusion[6]
All characters who are Prism Stone enhanced Seeds of Darkness level or greater are Universal. This would of course carry over to All Stars and scale to those Cures. Queen of Light and base Dark King would only reach this level when risking their lives and going beyond their limits like the Queen did.
