We're not talking about likelihood though. It's comics. What are the likelihood that a human like being survivals the end of his universe and merge with it to become a devourer of worlds, riding around in a globe shape ship in a new universe? What are the likelihood Galactus runs into another human like being and makes turns him into a naked silver skinned being that flyings through space by riding on a surf board and both of who spoke English?
There are a number of void/nothingness and one of it is the real deal. That force was found by the Shinto gods who fought and imprison it. That it speaks haiku means it adapted and learned. Mikaboshi didn't seek out the sword, he had it made according to Secret Warriors. As for seeking out other powers, he isn't Thanos. He gains power through destroying pantheons. He used his power to manipulate Alex and gave Alex the sword to be his new God of War to turn him against Ares. He doesn't want to seek out artifacts. He prefers directly involved in manipulating and destroying to move him up the ladder. Of course it's hard to believe that the Japanese pantheon found the one true darkness, but why should anyone be surprised that writers are Earth/human-centric? If we're complaining, than lets start with every alien and cosmics having human features including eyes and noses. What are the chances of that?
But anyways, it's nothing i'm too passionate to debate. Just thought I'd point out of a way writers could explain things.

That's from his mini Ares and he's on Mount Olympias, not in Tartarus. And the best thing about his death was that a lot of readers, including myself, cared and was pissed off. Essentially he went down against a walking plot device. Can't blame the guy, at least we went down swinging.

Only if writers and readers have that attitude. With writers who actually cared like Oeming, Ares would be a beast. Though he was to a degree but he still needed more appearances to outweigh those past showings before Oeming's book.
