Sorry that I have to use reaction videos.
Firstly, Rick actually has a similar feat to what's currently on his profile in Unmortricken, where he fracked the Central Finite Curve to merge numerous non-hypothetical universes, compromising the structure of the Curve and creating shockwaves that extended to the wider multiverse (as Evil Morty had left the CFC in Rickmurai Jack, and his base was affected to the point where its defences were lowered).
Secondly, I'm calling BS on his current justification.
Rick explicitly used time crystals to perform this. As we see in A Rickle in Time, they fragment moments of time into hypothetical realities.
The rest of the justification just makes no sense in context because Morty explicitly didn't time travel and performed all these actions personally, so I don't feel the need to go over it.
Lastly, the audio commentary from Auto Erotic Assimilation isn't a rumour. But I'm like 99% sure that's not High 3-A, and this was just Dan Harmon's personal speculation on the matter. Though the existence of Rick Prime definitely lends a lot of credence to what he said.

- Rick: The shockwaves have more range than I thought.
- Evil Morty: Jesus, you heard a compliment? A monkey humping a shotgun has “more range than he thought.” Look at this scan array. [...] Why would I touch it when I don’t want it improved
- Rick: Improved?
- Evil Morty: You’re hitting infinite targets. At least filter for probability stasis.
Secondly, I'm calling BS on his current justification.

- BothAll Ricks: Our time is fractured. You two somehow created a feedback loop of uncertainty that's split our reality into two equally possible impossibilities. W-we're exactly like a man capable of sustaining a platonic friendship with an attractive female co-worker. We're entirely hypothetical.
- BothAll Mortys: But I thought there were infinite timelines.
- BothAll Ricks: We're not on any timeline, dummy. Look.
- Both Ricks: Alright, since this time crystal exists in both possibilities, and since it's impossible that I didn't nail this, I'm probably about to press this button in both possibilities at exactly the same time.
- Rick: I think it's more appropriate to ask what did you do? You see, Morty, you weren't saving your place and going back. I don't respect time travel. [...] It wasn't so much a do-over as it was isolating a moment in time, splitting your probable selves, and shunting you into to into a near-duplicate, equally probable reality, transporting you into it at the moment of parallel determination. Pretty nifty. Time crystals are a bitch and a half, but the only real hitch is that there was already a you in each probable dimension. So we had to solve for that. [shows footage of disintegrating Mortys]
- Rick: I'm afraid it's too late for that, Morty. What's done is done, but it can end. The original split is still timestamped. I can make it so those Mortys never existed at all, make them purely theoretical. Oh, God. What do I do? I think it's clear you've done enough. Tell me how, Rick! Tell me how I save those Mortys! You live with the consequences. Those things happened somewhere, but you can merge the probable realities so that only one Morty did them. Just do it. All right, lemme just sync these up and get you back to your dimension.
The rest of the justification just makes no sense in context because Morty explicitly didn't time travel and performed all these actions personally, so I don't feel the need to go over it.
