What I like about CV is that how much they praise anti-feats when they are literally nothing compared to actual feats, which showcase what the author is intending. These "anti-feats" usually come about because the author wanted some dramatic scene.
CV people forget that if no character was universal or above, the entire verse would cease to exist.
- Ouranos wouldn't have universal power, and thus wouldn't be able to create the universe. And even if he maintained the universe within him SOMEHOW, Ceto wouldn't have the power to punch it out of him. Due to this, consider the Greek saga to be completely nil.
- Thanatos wouldn't be able to create the Domain of Death, thus causing the entire Ghost of Sparta game to cease to exist.
- Nyx wouldn't be able to have her own dimension, thus causing half the purpose of Helios to be nil.
- Morpheus wouldn't be able to create nor merge his realm of dreams. There goes not only the other half of Helios, but also part of Chains of Olympus.
- Atlas wouldn't be able to replace the World Pillar. Due to this, everything would revert back to the primordial void, Chaos.
- Ares wouldn't even be able to make his dimension within the boss fight.
And now the Norse verse!
- Yggdrasil wouldn't exist, as the moment a realm sat on it; it's "non-universal branches" would break immediately, causing everything to cease to exist.
- Ymir wouldn't exist. Why? Because he's about the size of a multiverse, which CV wouldn't like!
- The realms wouldn't exist due to Odin not having the universal power to create them. These three alone erase the Norse saga as well.
- Ragnarok wouldn't exist, he'd be too weak to immolate the tree, and too weak to destroy Asgard.
- Jormungandr wouldn't be sent back in time, as Thor is too weak to splinter the tree.
- Thor also wouldn't be able to shake the nine realms.
- Surtr won't be able to create the stars in all of the realms if he's this "multi-continental" being CV makes him out to be!
- Heimdall wouldn't be able to shift a realm considering that's a universal strength, shifting an entire realm!
Essentially, saying no character is uni or above is essentially erasing the existence of the verse.
