DS's current incarnation is being portrayed as being a bit more powerful than it was Pre Crisis(given the reality manipulation, creating pocket dimensions, etc.) so it's a bit of a stretch to base a winner off DS back in the day.And it was never firmly established that he destroyed a universe without tech(and specifically mentioned that the anti matter wave that destroyed the Positive Matter Universe's WAS the result of tech). So the claim that he's a universal destroyer based off of his POSSIBLY destroying Pariah's universe(off-panel) when there's no further evidence to support it(and plenty to contradict it) is very similar to bringing up Sentry stalemating Galactus as evidence of him being more powerful than Darkseid.
I really dont know how U can claim its unsubstantiated and being POSSIBLE, when the proof was right there on the pages offered.
but then U tried to use a story written more than 10years later, had various situations mixed up, and tried to use THAT as eidence to support yur claims.
fact: AM & Mon were rendered unconscious after a simultaneous atk on 1 another.
fact: Pariahs experiment woke AM up, and *he* took advantage of it (with NO VISIBLE USE OF TECH) to consume that realm and absorb enuff power to free himself fully.
fact: we dont know of him having ANY tech before he went under.
fact: aside from 2 or 3 instances of a view screen being used, the only other tech we know he had was that Solar Collector (to slow down the vibratory rates keeping the last 5 'verses separated w/in Mon's Netherverse), and that AM-Cannon (presumably to be used to wipe out all 5 in 1 shot since he couldnt get at them under his own power.)
fact: we no evidence of him using tech to destroy any of the thousands upon thousands of 'verses that he did.
fact: that Legends -story involving "Earth-D" (upon review) had MORE than just that native GL wrong: such as John Stewarts ring suddenly working; Flash *somehow* appearing in that 'verse instead of appearing in front of Batman to tell him that something is wrong and calling for help, and info in the narration itself telling us that after "Earth-6" (Lady Quarks realm) got swept away there would be only *5* left; the Shadow Hunters somehow only "burning" their victims, and a few more inconsistencies.
Ive said it b4, and I'll say it again: that story doesnt fit, and becuz of that its a poor excuse of info to support any claims for AM using tech to destroy a universe.
