If I follow you, you're using the assumption of the classic interpretation that Yahweh bestowed his demiurgic power to Michael, and Michael created the DC omniverse. If you are, problem with that is that there's so many different variations to that now that it's almost irrelevant, IMO. The Source creating it. Krona creating it by accident. The Monitor creating it. Synnar creating it. 😐Personally, I'd solve that problem by saying that Michael's power created the Vertigo Multiverse. And then yeah, out in the Void he created another one, which Lucy shaped. It's still different - less than - The Source creating the main DCU or Krona accidentally creating an infinite number of multiverses, etc. And it's different (less than) Mxy destroying and recreating those infinite number of universes.
...All my take on matters, of course. 😕
I'm not using that, in fact I even said that..

..but, if that were the case, then Mxy would be inferior to Michael from the get-go.
And yes, there are many variations of DCU's origins, though I prefer the Superman Beyond one because being metatextual and all, in a away, it encompasses all others.
Why would the original Big Bang (Michael) be any different from the ones that created the DCU and Marvel Universes specifically ? Like I said, using terminology doesn't make any difference because they all were created from the zero point, the big-bang, from which all energy sprang forth.
To make my point, for example, in Marvel, certain decisions being taken differently lead to separate Universes where things have gone differently (What ifs and the like). Would you say that when that happens, the energy necessary for that comes out of nowhere (God goes all 'here, take some more energy for that Universe'😉 or it's still the energy from the original Big Bang, only splintered in a different Universe ? Another one would be, the example you just mentioned, with Krona and the whole Multiverse debacle. Assuming Krona did that, would you say that, again, the energy necessary for the infinite Multiverse came from nowhere again or, yet again, it was the energy from the initial big-bang ?
It's the same principle in Michael's case. The Big Bang that he created can evolve into something more but, in the end, it's the same power (his) that made this all possible.
