So you would like every cosmic battle in which the Narrator is mentioning the collateral damage to have the visual portraition as was shown in Mephisto vs Galactus?
Don't get me wrong I'm finding the whole battle between the two to be a little strange myself, tearing at the fabric of the multiverse is what springs to mind the most.

I think we need to take a long hard look at every incident including Narratation and from that draw a conclusion on whether we actually think it happened or not and such a thing can only be done by drawing in continuity. For instance Spiderman mentioning Sentry stalemating Galactus is given what Sentry have shown highly unlikely, but Odin who (in the silver age atleast) was shown iirc on panel to as a side effect of his battle destroy Galaxies is more likely to have accomplished the same again.
anyways it's a resume of a discussion I've had with Galan previously.

Odin, Zeus and Vishnu kneeled before Arshiem because their combined power was as nothing before him. Yet Arshiem hasn't been shown "busting galaxies", not even close. And I'm to believe that a slapfest between Odin and Seth ignited stars and destroyed galaxies, while shaking the multiverse because the narrator said so (without visual proof from the artist)? No way.
PS I think most of those galaxy busting feats were ret-conned away.

No he hasn't the cosmic cube Kubik however have pointed out that the Celestial posesses power far beyond his universal reality warping abilities. Also it is possible that at that point of time Odin, Zeus and Vishnu was already depowered, iirc they only produced enough to knock a planet out of it's orbit, that however is also a bit shabby since that would place their combined might around high herald level. And I'm not asking you to believe in the current incident, I don't believe in it myself either, I'm merely pointing out that the line of thought with always placing the narrator's words next to the word hyperbole isn't a correct assesment from my point of view.
Could be can't recall, the entire retcon of Odin's silver age have always seemed rather strange to me.
