From the battle between perpetua and Dk, it looks like they were shoving planets in each other’s face but the battle was in every reality and dimension.

Prime's showing gets more ridiculous by the second.

I wanted to say this a weeks ago. Saw this today as confirmation.

It’s so obvious that these cosmic beings that are above mxy would be battling on every phase of reality. It was just a way to lowball SBP.

Some here thought that TBWLs wasn’t using all his powers to defeat someone he wants to kill and just settle for a dark alley brawl.

They were just insulting everyone’s common sense.

But that's not the point.

In that scene there was literally zero collateral damage to Owen's apartment, despite the blast itself being powerful enough to destroy several billion entire dimensions:

So only trying to gauge the blast's potency based on the amount of collateral damage it caused would be faulty in that instance.

Here is another example...

A blast from Galactus actually harmed Thanos to an extent, despite ALL the defensive shielding of his ship being in place:

...But the blast only caused very minor collateral damage to their surroundings(a small circular crater beneath Thanos, is all.)

Yet in the very same series, Thanos himself(without the aid of his ship's shielding) outright tanked the close-range planetary destruction of a gas giant without skipping a beat:

So despite a lack of collateral damage in the first scene, we can still infer that the potency of Galactus's blast would have been =/> the explosion of the gas giant that Thanos tanked a few issues later.

tl;dr
Collateral damage is not always a reliable measuring stick when it comes to gauging the potency of energy attacks and such. Makes perfect sense that higher-end reality/energy manipulators would be able to concentrate and contain their attacks so that they still retain full potency, without causing any unwanted 'bleed-over' to their surroundings(ie. collateral damage.)

Are you implying that the energy Perpetua used to destroy a Universe is greater than Universal power even though the only thing that was destroyed is a single Universe. Wouldn't the burden of proof fall on you for this?

Still doesn't change the fact that planets were hurting them. No matter where the fight took place at, he was still getting slapped in the face by planets.

I'm not discussing Perpetua's standing relative to the others. I am just helping explain why collateral damage isn't always an accurate way of approximating the power of an attack.

As the Owen/Beyonder and Galactus/Thanos scenes illustrate: a lack of collateral damage resulting from an attack doesn't automatically mean said attack wasn't immensely powerful.
