Yes, there is evidence to the contrary. It was not a ritual.
Based on...?
You must be joking.Vitiate single-handedly performing a feat that required combined might of 8000 Sith Lords (with 10 days of non-stop effort) to pull off centuries earlier is
Firstly, I'm pretty sure Ziost was a nexus, and that he possessed its inhabitants to feed off their power. Secondly, the fact that it took pre-Nathema Vitiate and 8000 Sith to pull off the original Nathema doesn't mean that it's more impressive than what Wankatine does - that would assume that Wankatine < those sith, and yet you conveniently don't make that assumption between those sith and Vitiate - funny circular logic you're using here.
superior to anything Palpatine has ever demonstrated in terms of raw strength.
Nice assertion. Palpatine's Force storms can destroy fleets and rip the surfaces off of planets. Vitiate doesn't rip the surface off of Ziost, and quite frankly it's visibly less energetic than a base delta zero bombardment, which probably couldn't kill super star destroyers like Force storms can. It's not nearly as energetic.
The only other being rivaling Vitiate's grand showing was the embodiment of the hunger itself; Darth Nihilus.
True, Nihilus's Force drain does rival Vitiate's, and he doesn't even need a nexus. 👆
Just because Force Storm can consume physical matter, doesn't implies that the raw power behind it equals the same for the most powerful expressions of Force Drain ever witnessed.
Nice assertion. Too bad you haven't explained why something being more energetic doesn't correlate to how powerful it is.
Luke's so-called immovable gig sounds like his own perception. Just like Abeloth being a dozen times stronger then him. It was all in his head.
Luke is remarkably humble. I would trust his judgment tbh.

you do realize that the black hole at the center of the Milky Way Galaxy is 4 million times more massive than our sun, right? If the supermassive black hole in the center of the galaxy in Star Wars is anything like that, it's obviously hyperbole, given that Luke has been affected/harmed by infinitely less.
