Skyfathers are universal? i didnt know that
They aren't anywhere close to being universal. Galactus is above skyfathers and even he isn't universal. Odin is one of the strongest skyfathers and the best he has done is to destroy galaxies.
Someone operating on a universal level would be someone like Thanos with the IG. Then you have those who operate on a multiversal level, which would be beings like Living Tribunal.

Does nobody else find this slightly insulting/degrading?
I find it neither insulting or degrading. I think it would be going a bit overboard to be truly insulted by it. It's certainly bad writing, but I don't think it really degrades or insults anyone. Are you insulted when other characters have low showings due to bad writing?
Having said that, what was said was actually pretty vague. What does being able to thwart off "Heaven itself" even mean? Does this mean ALL the forces of Heaven? Including God? All the angels? What did that actually entail?

It's a definite possibility, but on the other hand it seems like they've been steadily increasing the power levels of characters like Superman back up to their truly wacky levels of power. Which means Darkseid might remain very powerful for a decent amount of time.
