- Need the scan, and can´t really scan it myselfPlease?
Here's ALL the relevant scans, so you take whatever you need.
...................................................................................................
The Heart of the Infinite is the power of TOAA!
The Heart of the Infinite made Thanos the Almighty in the literal sense
(although he was still being manipulated by the Almighty)
...................................................................................................
Thanos says,
"The Source from which all other power throughout Time & Space springs"
...................................................................................................
Captain Marvel says,
"There's a complexity to these energies
I cannot even pretend to comprehend even with my Cosmic Awareness"
...................................................................................................
Akhenatan says,
"You have tapped into the Supreme Power"
...................................................................................................
Akhenatan made Eternity and Infinity go blind, Akhenatan was drawing on THOTI's power, Thanos who had now merged with THOTI, warps Ak. into a butterfly with a thought:
Thanos says,
"I plunged into the Heart and challenged the Almighty for dominance of existence"
At this point Thanos didn't know that THOTI was the "Almighty's Power"
"All those theologians were wrong about Divine guidance and Heavenly judgement, Supreme Power was nothing more than Limitless Energy ... There never had been any All-Father, Celestial Supreme Will or Almighty Self"
Watch Thanos change that tune soon enough. (REMEMBER THIS)
...................................................................................................
Thanos became One with All (the Omniverse)
"I was Everything ... bonded to Omni-Reality"
"I was a grain of sand in a distant Future" (Other TimelineS/UniverseS)
"My Awareness continued to expand beyond the material and the Abstract,
into Realms I never suspected even existed"
(this is the same Thanos that became the entire Universe TWICE before)
...................................................................................................
Thor says,
"Thanos has usurped the Power Supreme and now reigns over All Reality"
(Remember I said ... REMEMBER THIS) Watch Thanos change his tune.
Here is Thanos changing his tune about who's Power he has:
"had shown me the Error of certain assumptions on my part,
foremost the conclusion that the Previous Almighty had been nothing but mindless energy"
"the Trap I blundered into"
"what better way to handle a Cosmic dilemma than to pass off the responsibility to an unsuspecting fool?"
...................................................................................................
Thanos says,
"What madness had the Almighty, choosing me for such a task?"
"Surely He must have realized I would never..."
...................................................................................................
Eternity says,
"I demand you relinquish the Supreme Power you have stolen"
Thanos replies,
"more like GIVEN to me"
...................................................................................................
Thanos says,
"Your Lord & Master (who could this be) hm has abandoned you Eternity"
...................................................................................................
Thanos says,
"Eternity, you must sense that Everything the Almighty was I now am,
did you ever dare demand anything from Him"
Eternity responds,
No, but .... (Eternity is actually acknowledging that Thanos speaks the truth)
Thanos says,
"And I, like He was, am now the Author of All That Will Be ... my will is Supreme,
I will not demand worship, as my predecessor expected"
...................................................................................................
Thanos recalls the moment he began to absorb everything:
"I acted without thought, as if my response were preordained,
in retrospect, I again considered the deviousness of my predecessor,
was this my moment of triumph or but a facet of Another's Grand Plan?"
...................................................................................................
Thanos says, (after absorbing everything)
"the Trap was so obvious ... impulse was not part of my structure,
yet still I had followed a course charted by Another's Hand"
the master manipulator had been tricked"
The rest of these scans speak for themselves, (Please READ)
Warlock says,
"Tricked, as much by yourself as by He whose power you coveted"
"you were chosen because of your will"
Thanos replies,
"Chosen and Tricked"
"If He went through all this trouble to ensnare me"
...................................................................................................

-Question-Merlyn empowered by the Matrix, has the power to destroy the Omniverse.
Can he direct such a force, at one Universe only?
Yes. (like any other being can use their full power at any given time)
But mainly bacause the power was within him, he was one with the Matrix.

I also have a request.What is the most impressive feat anyone has done with a Cosmic Cube/Cosmic Containment Unit?
Top Feat was X-O and Iron Man manipulating a foreign Cube to Remake the Omniverse.
Although I must concede,
the Cube created a Reality where X-O & Iron Man were able to manipulate it on that scale.
The other great Feat,
http://www.marveldirectory.com/miscellaneous/cosmiccube.htm
Doom demanded the Cube change the universe to match his dreams,
but this nascent (Infant) Cube could not enact such massive change,
and instead found a universe similar to Doom's desires, Earth-892, and overlaid that onto Doom's universe (Earth-616).
The overlapping universes created great instability, and had the side-effect of chronically draining both Doom and the Cube, aging them at an accelerated rate.
Omniversal guardian Roma observed the destabilization, and sent Earth-616's X-Men (who had been briefly outside their own universe) to investigate.
They failed to stop Doom, and instead the mutant Magneto gained control of the Cube, and laid yet another universe on top of the pair in answer to Magneto's dreams.
Matters worsened when Earth-616's Red Skull, who had re-formed and had been observing the chaos from a Catholite protected base on the moon, stole the Cube and laid yet a fourth reality on top of the others. However, the X-Men pursued the Skull.
As you can see:
A single Cosmic Cube has "affected" and nearly destroyed the Omniverse before,
even Roma was involved:
So it's no surprise the Cosmic Cube was able to Re-Write the Omniverse in the X-O crossover.
http://www.marvunapp.com/master/chaochaz.htm
CHAOS ENGINE -
Cosmic Cube created by Dr. Doom, used in effort to Re-Write Reality,
actually merged Earth-616 and Earth-892 to form Earth-Chaos Engine: Dr. Doom by Dr. Doom,
then used to further merge/Re-structure that Reality by Magneto to form Earth-Chaos Engine: Magneto,
and then again by the Red Skull to form Earth-Chaos Engine: Red Skull;
these alterations affected the entire Omniverse and threatened all Reality

I'll just do a mini-Respect Merlyn show for the masses. 😄
......................................................................................
This is a re-telling of how Merlyn was able to acquire this power when Reality was young
(a Multiverse)
......................................................................................
Merlyn's draws his power from the Energy Matrix.
The Energy Matrix is a source of energy that manifests
when the Interface Alignment took place.
The Interface Alignment is when a series of Interfaces across the Multiverse aligned perfectly
to create a Matrix of unimaginable power.
This alignment would only last a short moment, and thus was never able to be tapped.
There was a central Tower (in Reality 616) where the Interface passed through, but in order to keep the Interfaces Aligned, they needed to have Other Towers in Other Universes.
So ...
Necrom put Feron (his student) upto the task of controlling the Phoenix Force,
so Feron could manipulate the PF into projecting the Tower
across the Multiverse VIA the Interface Alignment.
The Energy fields merge on their OWN...
and the Interfaces across the Mulitverse Align by themselves...
"AT the moment of ALIGNMENT,
THEN Feron called Phoenix to project the Tower"
it was the Energy Matrix (On it's Own) that allows simultaneous existence in the Multiverse when the Interfaces Across are Aligned, which Also happens ON it's Own ....
Phoenix made a duplicate of the original Tower across the Multi-verse
because of the Interface Alignment whcih allowed simultaneous existence.
This created a consistent Energy Matrix, (not temporary)
because the Interfaces were Aligned permanently due to the connecting Towers.
Necrom's plan was to collapse the Energy Matrix to absorb all it's power
and become the "God" of all creation.
But instead,
While Necrom and Feron had fought,
MERLYN had JUMPED INTO the Energy Matrix...
He was swept across the Multiverse and was finally able to control the Energy Matrix,
without needing to collapse it.
As we know the Multiverse expanded into an Omniverse, and is still grwoing to this day.
This is Merlyn's very first appearance in a CB title:
"I am the beauty of the green Earth and the white Moon amongst the Stars"
"The mystery of the Waters, and the desire of the Heart of man"
"I am the Soul of Nature who giveth Life to the Universe"
"From me ... ALL Things proceed ... and unto me ... ALL Things must Return"
Merlyn created the Starlight Citidel:
"from this venue, the Guardian of Reality can view events on every Plane of the Omniverse"
.............................................................................
The Starlight Citidel's defenses can obliterate Universes:
"The Citidel is sentient, a reflection of the Guardian ...
with a defensive array that could EASILY lay waste an entire Dimension"
Merlyn created the Celestial Nullifier, which is within the Citidel:
The Celestial Nullifier contains tiny Crystals fused with the entire Omniverse.
Merlyn did that aswell.
"This Crystal embodies the LifeForce of your Home Dimension"
"By breaking it, that Entire Portion of the Omniverse ceases to exist"
Necrom was literally collapsing the Multiverse,
this was causing Captain Britain to absorb the power of Merlyn's Energy Matrix
Then Meggan, Kitty Pride,
Rachel Summers and Night Crawler Merge with Captain Britain
to add different abilities to Captain Britain's power.
ONLY Brian has the power of the Matrix, the others add versatility to his power.
"This is all too neat ... it can't be coincidence"
"I know ... we are being Manipulated"
The Energy Matrix gives Brian the power to actually REVERSE the collapse,
he literally Rebuilds the Multiverse
"We have saved the Multiverse"
Guess who Manipulated the whole thing?
He allowed it in fact.
With the power of the Energy Matrix, which is what he had,
he could literally Fold the Multiverse, or rebuild it effortlessly,
Brian only had a good portion of the Matrix, and you saw in the scans his capability.
Merlyn allowed Brian to absorb power from His Matrix,
to Merlyn it's all a game, it always has been,
(just to see how events play out)
Since back in the day playing a Chess Game with Roma
which was linked to the Life-Force of the Multiverse,
the wrong side loses the game, ... the Multiverse dies, it's as simple as that.
"The Game's disintegrating, but the Multiverse depends upon the Game"
And this was only a training session for Roma,
who was to replace him as Omniversal Guardian.
"Merlin taught you that REALITY is a Grand Game of Chess"
.........................................................................
Merlyn manipulated the Multiverse on a Chess Board,
and had other Boards floating around (other Multiverses I presume)
As Merlin and Roma moved their Chess Pieces, Reality is Altered accordingly:
Even Mad Jim Jaspers, (the Omniversal threat) is just One of their Game Pieces.
Which shows how much control Merlyn has,
he actually took a chance at allowing a being more powerful than himself loose on Reality just to train Roma in new status as the new Omniversal Guardian.
His plan could've failed, but he always new he had a ace up his sleeve (the Fury)
Roma and Merlyn are the Omniversal guardians
"but you know where she lives right?"
are you demented, you're talking about the next best thing to GOD" (Omniversal Guardian)
They can do with Universes as they wish.
Merlin says,
"I've missed something, I ... of all people"
Roma responds,
"No one is infallible Father, sometimes I think a strong Wind will blow you over"
Merlin replies,
"Ah yes ... but I MAKE the Winds"
In other words, regardless of the peril, he's in charge.
