Cthulhu (Cthulhu Saves the World)

CSTW Cthulhu
Summary

Once a great old one bent on the destruction of the world, Cthulhu's powers were sealed away my a mysterious magician shortly after he reawakened on Earth. Awash on the shores of the beach nearby, Cthulhu overheard The Narrator explaining to the player that the only way that the curse could be truly lifted, and his power regained, was if Cthulhu became a true hero. And so began his quest...

Its birth made time begin to flow. Is a good amount stronger than Darkrai, even with Palkia fighting it and drawing its attention. Aided in the creation of the multiverse, which contains an untold number of universes. For instance, certain universe's versions of the Hoenn region contain a Reflection Cave.

Cthulhu's not that haxxed himself, but he's resistant to quite a bit of hax. Let's test him out.

Both 2-B, both Immeasurable.

Win via Death, or Incap.

Who wins?

Time God: 0

Good Cthulhu: 2

CSTW Cthulhu
Dialga Triumphant
 
Cthulhu likely resists the best stuff Dialga can put out, makes it go insane, beats it senseless, and Plot Manipulates his way to total victory.

Though being fair, I'm not entirely sure Cthulhu's 2-B low-end should even exist.
 
Cthulhu via killing Azathoth which means he's tier -1 ovo

In all serious, Cthulhu via Mindhax and plot manipulation.
 
"Defeated Azathoth, who otherwise would've collapsed reality in every single world; the Cthulhu Mythos that Cthulhu Saves the World is directly based on contains an infinite number of universes within each multiverse."

How can this be 2-B?
