^ There's a reason you have to take LT's name-dropping and multiverse-referencing with a real grain of salt in Chaos War, no mater how richly and specifically defined/established those terms have been in other stories (some even involving the characters in Chaos War.) Because if you have to take it at its full faith and credit, Chaos King absorbing 98.75% of the endless alternate universes that comprise the Marvel Multiverse, necessarily means Supergod Hercules restored same in the climax to Chaos War -- a feat of monumental power rarely seen in comics that involves Earth-211 to Earth-1982 to Earth-616 to Earth-8721435 and countless others...
... in a completely unextraordinary scene, where what we actually see on-panel is Hades being restored with Ares back in chains, Nightmare's realm being restored, the planet Earth and the stars and space around it being fixed, New Yorkers waking up to a repaired Manhattan and... Alpha Flight being resurrected:

Somehow, all those countless alternate universes that would necessarily be involved if Chaos King did eat the Multiverse got restored... off-panel. Really? Really??? RLY???????
I mean, if the appearance of the completely irrelevant Alpha Flight didn't clue you in... jebus. Same applies to Lucifer. Even moreso, when you actually look at the scenes in question. Somehow, Lucifer didn't just mold a universe, he molded an endless set of fully-functioning alternate universes -- a feat of monumental power rarely seen in comics...
... in a completely unextraordinary scene, where what we actually see on-panel is Lucifer flying around in space near a single star down to primordial single Earth, flying past a tree, forming his Adam/Eve couple, dictating and informing them of their free will:
Somehow, Lucifer did this across all those countless alternate universes that would necessarily be involved if Lucifer did mold a multiverse... off-panel. And, yknow, when he split the Gate on Earth across God's creation to allow its denizens to choose his creation to live in, this scene actually occurred on countless alternate Earths leading to the countless alternate Earths in Lucifer's creation... and not just this one Earth that we see and deal with, for virtually the entire time until it's converged onto Elaine's creation at story's end.
Really? Really??? RLY???????

WTF is going on in this thread?
You guys gotta be sleep deprived over this.
