I don't get what you are trying to show with this...he still got hit with both blasts at full force. The Entropy Aegis armor just combined the elements to form the required boom tube.
It's a hell of a durability feat.
All a "crucible" means is that Steel was the focal point of all. A crucible can be destroyed in the process or be used many times depending on what it is.
The aegis armor is very powerful, steel was doing amazing things with it but was just beginning to find out how it worked, and could only do so because of having a high level genius intellect. He couldn't fully tap into its complete power yet.
Steel was able to follow superman to where the quintessence brought him by locking on to where there were traces of superman's bio signature left over from when they grab him out of normal time and space, and to do this wasn't easy. Superman had been missing for a long enough time before steel got there,I think steel mentioned to him that Lois had begin to worry because he was gone too long.
It was a great feat by steel to use the aegis armor to reach to where the quintessence had superman. You can not just teleport to where they were having superman's trial and hearing. It was a place where the linear men, masters of space and time reside and control things, under the watchful eye of the quintessence.
You have to have been selected or invited by the linear men or the greater powers(spectre was there) in DC to go there. Steel was only able to do it because he wield the aegis armor, a medium of universal entropy itself.
