I never made an issue of the spelling. Never even referred to it. But the correction is appreciated.

But the word doesn't mean to overcome or to surpass, it means to supplant or displace. Which makes the statement ambiguous. The comment could mean he's referring to the Celestials' power supplanting Hulk's own empowering him, or he could be referring to the Celestials' power having a capability of displacing the enchantments that empower Juggernaut. The context does seems to imply the latter more than the former, considering it seems more a test of the Celestial's power over Juggernaut.
To supercede is to surpass and/or to replace in terms of power, importance , validity etc.
With that in mind Apocalypse saying that the Celestial tech supersedes all power but his own means in the context of the scan that it empowered Hulks physical prowess to the point where it rendered Juggernauts own irrelevant. Supplanting it in importance and relevance to the situation if you would.
Either way as i stated from the very beginning Hulk was empowered to the point where he could bring the unstoppable to a halt. There is no mention whatsoever of Juggernaut being depowered and no indication of that in the scans. The Celestial tech kicked in during the battle, empowering Hulk and rendering Juggs own enchantment inconsequential.
