Do you truly believe a speedblitz would be relevant when dealing with beings of this level?
This is no spider-man or Superman battle we're dealing with here.
The AM has caused more destruction than Phoenix has. But his was on a gradual scale over time. He went from universe to universe gradually destroying them in a wave of power. Impressive in terms of the scale of his destruction, but in terms of a single output of power, he doesnt match up.

But yeah, Phoenix is more impressive in terms of single power displays.
It would be like letting Jubilee go around from city to city and country to country over a period of time and comparing the destruction caused to what Storm could do in one outburst of power.
Not a great comparison.
AM required machinery to accomplish his destruction and on top of that it was a gradual process.
Ask him to manipulate a universe in the palm of his hand or do something high level like telekinetically amputating a timeline like its physical matter.
In terms of on panel feats, the White Phoenix is beyond the IG without a doubt.
Manipulating the entire universe at an atomic level within the palm of your hand is leagues beyond, being a little being within said universe and fighting to gain control of said universe.
Thanos beat down some of the abstracts, he killed half the population of the universe. All impressive feats.
The abstracts are manifestations of concepts within the universe. They and their power derive from the universe, they are components of it. To be able to hold and manipulate all that is the universe within the palm of your hand and manipulate it down to its atoms renders such things irrelevant.
On top of that Phoenix can casually amputate timelines. Forget fighting within a timeline for control of said timeline. Phoenix is on another level. Its like comparing a poster on these forums to a moderator.
Has phoenix ever destroyed a universe that was on-panel or in the 616 universe, has she ever pwned multiple abstract level beings. Jamie warped the white crown room if im not mistaken and didnt galactus threaten to erase the PF from the universe.
Alternate reality Phoenixes have destroyed universes on multiple occassions. 616 Phoenix has done something far more impressive and manipulated the universe down to its component atoms. If you can do that then its conclusive that you can destroy it and with ease.
It would be like Nate Grey telekinetically manipulating the atoms of a mountain range and then someone trying to mark him down a rung on the ladder because he's never blown up a mountain range
If you can demonstrate total telekinetic control of something down to the atomic level then it would be fallacious of anyone to argue that said character couldnt destroy it if they wished to. You could atomise it. Scatter the atoms. Restructure them.
As for your point about beating down on multiple abstract level beings, my previous post dealt with that quite clearly. The abstracts are part of the universe, they represent the universes concepts. Most importantly, they and all there power derive from the universe and as such, they are not greater than the universe. Phoenix manipulated at an atomic level all that is the universe, within the palm of her hand and you want to attempt to demean her feat because she hasn't performed the comparatively insignificant feat of fighting battles within the universe she had in her palm?
The White Hot Room is a dimension. It is not the Phoenix. So what if Jamie warped it to teleport Rachel and Psylocke back to reality. What has that got to do with Phoenix?
Galactus stated that he had built the machine to separate the Force from Rachel. So you or any other poster are in no position to say that the machine was doing otherwise. The other cosmics then gathered around and said that separating Rachel from the Phoenix was against the natural order(readers familiar with Phoenix mythology would know that the Grey family are joined to the Phoenix by nature its in their genetics) and as a result of this the stars started to blink out because Galactus was disrupting nature. Galactus was not erasing Phoenix from existence that is a fallacy spread across these forums by a former poster.
It has already been proven that she merely tweaked the timeline...there was never anything stated on panel or any offical handbooks that once said it was within her power to destroy or anyway harm the 616 universe. As you said she"manipulated the timeline....quite a big difference as oppose to destroying realities or anything we've seen performed on-panel from the IG.
Everything you have stated might possibly be true on theory...but once again there is no on panel evidence to suggest she is anywhere near Thanos with the IG. The actual PF entity has been displaced from time by a mere starship if im not mistaken. Just accept that there are beings beyond her own.
