Prior to Warlock and the Infinity Watch #1, the IG was all-powerful, but in that famous issue the gems were shown to not be all-powerful as there were now powers beyond it...
TOAA's power was the only thing above the IG in the Warlock & LT encounter.

There are beings superior to "TOAA powered" LT like Scathan and Protege; they logically are superior to the gems as well...
Scans of the LT being portrayed as "TOAA powered" during the Protege affair?
Actually, the LT clearly stated that TOAA was above himself, ... so LT was definitely not packing TOAA's power.
While in Warlock & IW#1, LT stated he was literally representing said power.
If anything, evidence alludes to Scathan being TOAA's agent in that scenario.
That's also like over 1000 Years from now so whatever.

This is just False.
I like how you fallaciously point out the CCU remade the Gems & Reality, as if that was highlighted in the story.
Again: The Gems are not empowered by reality and/or the power primordial of the Big Bang, they are Not part of reality,
they were still intrinsically connected to the Infinity Being in 2010.

Anyway, let's put to rest the circles: (scans below published YearS after "Warlock & IW#1" in 1992)
(2005)
"the Gems are empowered by a force that pre-dates our universe" ... (Infinity Being)
--------------------------------------------------------
(2007)
The Power Gem was given to Reed after She-Hulk got it from Titania. (Illuminati 2007)
Reed noticed the Gems were "talking to each other" ... "they may be alive"

The Gems themselves summoned the RG, again signifying consciousness:

The Gems deliberately didn't allow Reed to nullify the IG: (signaling consciousness)

Mephisto's 2010 bio, further cementing ... "Nemesis" is the Infinity Gems.
Infinity Gauntlet 2010 bio, also references the Infinity Being's original story as told by Thanos:
"IG were once part of Nemesis." (Infinity Being) Lonely, it ended it's existence rather than live as the only sentience" ...
--------------------------------------------------------
Heck, even characters from other MultiverseS know Thanos' story nigh-verbatim:
That's Diana of the Dark Shoppe, while located in that other Multiverse she is from. (4 years after W & IW#1)
