It's that time of year again.
Currently, the absolute strongest Saint Seiya character is Chronos, the multiversal embodiment of space-time who is also transcendent over it, though we're not talking about him.
We're talking the characters right beneath Chronos, the ones who are currently ranked as Multiverse level.
The scaling comes from Cronus, who was casually erasing all of time. Not just across one universe, but across all of existence, as he himself stated:
This scales to Zeus, Gaia, Tartarus, and Typhon. Not many people, but still something.
Anyway, the reason it was ranked as 2-B was because I believed we have no information on the size of the multiverse, though we did know that it is a multiverse that works through shifts in the timeline, with multiple possible futures and decisions creating new timelines. So it has to at least be 2-B, rather than a small, countable multiverse.
But now I found information that changes this.
From Saint Seiya Omega Episode 31, we have the fight between Dragon Ryuho and Gemini Paradox (Who's a Shotacon Yandere psycho but that's beside the point). She is beating him rather easily, but decides to mentally destroy him as well, and so she uses her technique Crossroad Mirage.
Both she and Ryuho are transported to "The world outside the Crossroads", which according to her are the infinite points where fate divides through the infinite choices that humans make all the time.
She shows him two possible futures in particular:
One where the Saints are victorious in their battle against Mars, but as a result the world is scorched and left in ruins, and all the Saints and their loved ones end up dying in the battle. And one where the Saints surrender to Mars, and the world is transformed into a blissful utopia under his rule.
Ryuho refuses to believe that these futures are real, and claims that they are impossible, that she is showing illusions to him. She vehemently denies it and states once again that there are infinite futures, so everything is technically possible:
So this confirms that the Saint Seiya multiverse is made of infinite timelines, rather than the unknown number we previously used.
"But Matthew, you beautiful and amazing human, Saint Seiya Omega is a sequel to the Non-Canon Toei Anime, it can't fit into the Classic Continuity"

You're actually wrong, buddy. The official Saint Seiya Timeline includes everything that has ever been published under the franchise's umbrella, even if it does make clear that not everything is the same timeline:
Translated into Portuguese
It's a lot like Puella Magi Madoka Magica, really. Everything is canon, everything is part of a giant multiverse that works under the Many-Worlds interpretation of Quantum Mechanics.
So basically, everyone that is currently ranked at Multiverse level should be upgraded to Multiverse level+
