1. SWTOR isn't canon, either, lol.
I know. But this thread considers Legends continuity since all characters featured in it (including Abeloth) are not part of Canon continuity.

Immortal beings do not die. Simple.

That is an out-of-context citation. Darth Plagueis narrates the ancient legend of Mortis in which
The Ones are hyped as all-powerful. However, Darth Plagueis remained skeptical.
Even in Canon continuity, The Ones are not all-powerful.

2. The Ones are evolved Celestials, essentially.
Based on?

3. It doesn't fail to make sense just because you disagree with it. Read the passage - Abeloth unleashed that power subconsciously. In other words, it wasn't an active assault, nor was she at full power, so the feat doesn't compare.
Noted that Abeloth unleashed her power subconsciously. But she was in a state of anger and such emotions are known to fuel the power of the practitioners of the Dark Side.

And the feat involved a Storm being summoned, not raw power rippling throughout the city.
Read this again:
"a raging storm of pure Force energy"What part of this statement you did not understand?
FYI: A natural storm doesn't unleashes Force energy. It is a manifestation of powerful winds.
For comparison, description of Abeloth's feat:
The entire city was attacked by a wind filled with glass shards, each a shikkar driven with a single purpose - to hurt anyone, anything, living inside the City of Glass. They were the Lost Tribe - they would suffer, all of them, as their leader had made her suffer.

Both are similar feats.

4. It's laughable how you keep demanding proof from others, and when you run out of proof, you resort to dismissing another's argument as nonsense. It's hypocritical of you to be dismissing my point like that when you accuse me of the same thing. Concession accepted, though.
I don't concede to nonsense.
Read this:
By drawing on his incredible dark powers, the Emperor imprinted his consciousness onto unwitting pawns who would serve as vessels for carrying out his will. Through the eyes and ears of these "children," he would uncover threats in both the Empire and Republic while they were still nothing but whispers. And should the need arise, the Emperor could seize control of his children and instruct them to crush any plot that dared defy his will.
Taken from Star Wars: The Old Republic: Encyclopedia
As pointed out to you several times before, Children are 'powerful manifestations of sorcery' inside individuals. They are all potent.
As an example, when such manifestation was activated within Kira Carsen, she sent Hero of Tython packing with a Force push in a demonstration of strength. This strength was a product of sorcery within Kira Carsen, and not her own. In a normal situation, Kira Carsen cannot be expected to dominate Hero of Tython in comparable manner.
The above being said;
She would be opposed down to the final breath, the last drop of blood, of nearly every Jedi in the galaxy. And in that battle, even so ancient and powerful a being as Abeloth could not stand.

As I had been reiterating earlier; Vitiate + Children = too much for Abeloth. PERIOD.

5. Luke destroying an avatar is like HoT beating an avatar. It's not a permanent kill by any means, which is what I'm referring to.
Abeloth apparently perished after loosing all of her avatars in confrontations with Jedi and Sith.
For this hypothetical versus scenario, how many avatars are you assuming? No conditions are defined.

Provide evidence.

7. I know of all that. That doesn't show that he would be capable of diverting his strength to others whilst fighting Abeloth.
Vitiate, with his entire power concentrated on a single source, is likely to be too much for any being to cope with for a prolonged period. He can (single-handedly) break and kill on planetary-scale.
Assuming that Abeloth is somehow capable of coping with full concentrated attack of Vitiate, the latter have Darth Nihilus on his side who also happens to consume on planetary-scale and is a powerhouse in his own right. Darth Nihilus would drain enormous amount of energy from Abeloth, weakening her on each passing moment.
Abeloth cannot cope with the aforementioned pressures as apparent from her loss to the duo of Luke Skywalker and Darth Krayt. She will loose.

The Son wasn't trying to kill Obi-Wan, lol. If you're suggesting that Obi-Wan could actually last in a real fight, then I don't have anything to say. Otherwise, that doesn't show anything.
Son's powers are not all-powerful material - this is my intended point.
Originally posted by SunRazer
Abeloth eventually became the "Mother", and she received her powers from the same sources as the Son and Daughter. Her not being born as a Celestial is irrelevant, especially when Vitiate wasn't either.
Ok. But this doesn't changes a thing.
Originally posted by SunRazer
Really? Multiple sources in the RT above contradict that - the Son is stated to be the Personification of the Dark Side, and the Daughter was the embodiment of the Light Side. Lucas also claims the Father represents the Balance of the Force, a quote which I believe is even on Wookieepedia.
In the Legends continuity, Darth Plagueis and Darth Sidious managed to disrupt the balance of the Force with a lengthy ritual. Do the math.

Legends sourcebooks reiterate the need for the Ones to go to Mortis. It's in the thread above. I refrain from posting quotes here unless absolutely necessary because I'm not used to the quotation system. At the moment, I just use speech marks. But here we go:"Long ago, the Ones withdrew from the galaxy to avoid ruining it with their Force powers. "
- The Ultimate Visual Guide: Updated and Expanded
And of course, the Father's actual quote:
"My children and I can manipulate the Force like no other. Therefore, it was necessary to withdraw from the temporal world and live here as anchorites."
"As a sanctuary?"
"And a prison. You cannot imagine what pain it is to have such love for your children… and realize that they could tear the very fabric of our universe."
I notice contradiction in these matters.
Star Wars: Fate of the Jedi series lore reveals that Abeloth and The Ones resided in the same planet simply known as Abeloth's World. When Abeloth formed, she forced The Ones to flee and seek refuge in Mortis, a mysterious realm which Abeloth may not be able to locate.
In these reliefs, Abeloth stood alone in the courtyard, watching the Father depart with the Son and Daughter. Her face was contorted in anger, and the air around her was whirling with fronds and jungle reptiles and lightning. In the panels that followed, she looked even more deranged. The courtyard was overrun with vegetation, and a large winged lizard was struggling to escape her grasp, its eyes wide with terror, it wings straining as it struggled to pull its foot out of her hand.
