monarch spent the bulk of that battle antagonizing prime/not utilizing his powers efficiently. had he been fighting to "arena" standards, things would have been much different.
Not a low feat in the slightest, it just goes to show you how tough Guardian amped Prime was. Beforehand Monarch beat three Supermen at once who were stronger than current Superman, one of them was nearing Pre-Crisis levels and the other one (Chris Kent) was even stronger. There's also the fact that he beat 50 alternate Captain Atoms at once and absorbed their power.
at the end before Prime ripped off his armor he wasn't crying like: OH NOES I'M PHUCKED NAO!!!
He said something like: You fool it's supposed to protect YOU

Monarch is Universe Buster. He beats Odin. Superman Prime beats Thanos. Thanos Ain't messing with Reality altering strength. And Speed so fast that he can escape the Actual Speed Dimension. Prime is on a whole other level.
