He needed to sit there for a while during OWAW because he was fighting a DEVOURER OF GALAXIES. He can just fly through and then accelerate to past light speed and blitz diana while she's groaning about the power of godwave.
*sigh*
For heaven's sake, she was petitioning the gods themselves for the the Godwave that resides in Olympus. Not the sum totality of the Godwave. Merely a piece of the pie, since the Godwave resides in all superpowered persons and all godly pantheons.
Second, you're grossly over exaggerating what happened. She was ALREADY in possession of the Godwave and was shown stomping Rama into the ground. The transition of the Godwave was INSTANTANEOUS She was "groaning" because it was rather difficult to control the powers of creation itself, which is understandable.
Diana prays. She gets the Godwave. She blips Superman out of existence. Superman however has to fly to the sun, charge up his reserves, than come back. As shown many times in the past "sundipping" is not an instantneous process. He requires some time to become charged past his primary reserves' maximum.
Superman can sit there in the sun for a million years and he STILL wouldn't be powerful enough. The Godwave's power is so great the Angel Host feared it would be powerful enough to kill the Presence itself.
Can Diana only wield it for a short amount time? Yes. But when you wield the powers of creation itself that Heaven itself fears, time has no meaning and can be stretch to eternity. WW remakes reality so Superman never landed in Kansas but rather an active volcano.
