Ultima and I had a discussion about how many villains in DC are claimed to be ">=" the Presence which is just hype and contradicted by everything else in the comics or lore. Mordu was even claimed to be stronger than God, if memory serves me correctly. Just keep in mind that till this day some writers still treat the Presence as simply a deity who inherited a large portion of the godwave.
Let me explain it another way. In Digimon, any random Digimon of excessively great power can be described as "beyond Yggdrasil", yet they are done in by Digimon inferior than Yggdrasil. Why? Because it was just hype. It reminds me of that one fraccion of Baragon in Bleach who claimed to be stronger than a captain but was defeated by Hisagi the lieutenant. He even told his fallen foe that he wasn't even close to captain level. Writers can hype up characters too, and no amount of narration or dialogue can change what actually is established in the comics.
As the old saying goes: Actions speak louder than words.
P.S: I just felt like adding this as it might help (maybe it won't). I'm not actually here to argue. Some things I claimed might not actually be completely accurate and some I'd my comparisons might be good old false equivalencies. I'm dealing with some sort of mental/emotional crisis and a lot of anxiety, and it's tough trying to hide it from my kids (they're smarter than their age would suggest), so please if you disagree that's fine, I'm not trying to debunk anyone here. I'm just saying it might help to go with the old saying rather than a couple of instances of narration or dialogue. Maybe. You do you, I guess.
