Solaris, The End, and (kinda) Time Eater Rebunk
This will simply be a response to a recent post, albeit it was deleted on this sub for some reason. I also won't put as many links since I sorta just want to get this done, maybe in the future I'll add some but for now yknow
SOLARIS
The rift itself was created by Solaris and the light that engulfed everything by his mere birth, and was rapidly expanding throughout all of space-time given the urgency of the situation in End of the World. Notably, Solaris reduced the sky to a void with no celestial bodies, the cast only being saved by the "spatial distortion." Essentially, it's an attack that messed up past, present, and future of the universe. Eggman makes his ever-famous statement of Solaris intending to engulf all timelines and annihilate the very meaning of time itself, and later on we see Eggman say Solaris is messing up other dimensions, meaning it's not just one universe at stake.

Now, let's get into the fight. When the fight begins, Eggman states Solaris had absorbed various dimensions and couldn't be attacked half-heartedly. We see this proven when Sonic and Shadow attempt a non-charged attack on Solaris' and his light shells. (The barrier DOES occur during phase 2, but it's at random and phase 1 specifically does this with non-charged attacks, AKA half-hearted attacks) Not only this, the hedgehogs can withstand Solaris' beams of light (same light that engulfed everything) and his meteors, which deal the same amount of damage and stun as the light. Not only this, but Solaris' light shells and his core can withstand his own meteors being thrown back at him via. Silver.
Now, I don't buy dimensional tiering, but some people do so I'll quickly address it. Eggman states the light shells are anchoring Solaris, but it's implied Eggman was incorrect as Solaris simply rose back up. And even if we assume Eggman is 100% correct and Solaris was dragged down a whole dimensional tier, Solaris was still eating the cosmology.
There's no backing for all of this to be just "hax," he uses the same light for his attacks which damage the hedgehogs, we even have backing from sources like the Encyclospeedia (which is a bit more reliable than Prima Guides) calling his lasers "world-ending" and so. He also physically absorbs dimensions into himself and even used the Chaos Emeralds to complete his fusion
THE END
The End was trapped in Supreme, and was assumingly weakened from there as Sage states during the fight against The End. Cyber Space was powered by the Chaos Emeralds, with Cyber Space being a whole reality containing suns and gathering information from around the world (assumingly other planets like Donpa Kingdom) as per Egg Memos.
Ian Flynn is an unreliable source with the official twitter account of Bumblekast admitting he is a troll. He occasionally says things that contradict the games entirely (he claimed Chaos Control doesn't manipulate space and that the light speed dash isn't lightspeed, despite both being blatently stated.) And even his exact words about The End were "boasting" which doesn't mean lying, especially when everyone agrees that guy is something else. Also bumblekast has an entire disclaimer that its not a guarantee of information, or smth like that.
I feel like The End is one to toy with its food, part of the reason the Universe is still remaining. Though outside of that, Sonic's statement of "save everyone, everywhere" is more support for The End's superiority over all his past enemies. The End also states it made "countless stars" fall to him, just thought I'd throw that in there.
TIME EATER
I don't entirely disagree with this, mainly because of the rewrite (granted, it's a bad and unnecessary rewrite and was a stupid decision on Sonic Team's part but that's for another time.) But I do still think the Time Eater has a solid feat here. By about the end, Eggman states that "all of time" was his to do with as he pleased, thus, the Time Eater eventually got all of space-time. It's also supported by multiple external statements of the Time Eater erasing all space-time. While Tails does say "the more your monster tears through the timeline, the more damage you do to it!" Eggman isn't just erasing the timeline, he's rewriting and reshaping it, he's able to tear through a timeline he erased because he can access it and do as he pleases. We also see Crisis City, Stardust Speedway Bad Future, Sunset Heights, and Chaos Island in White Space as well. The former two are separate timelines entirely that shouldn't exist and the latter two are from the future, locations Eggman shouldn't know about. He's also capable of knocking out characters like Sonic in one-two shots, showing how powerful he is. He was also stated to have thrown the universe into chaos in the original manual for Sonic Generations.
Another point I'd like to bring up, Eggman sought to erase his past defeats, and some of them included entire dimensions, like Sonic Rush and Sonic Shuffle where the Sol Dimension and Maginaryworld (failed to obtain the Precioustone) were heavily involved in Eggman's defeat.
One final thing I'd like to bring up is when Time Eater erased Space Colony ARK, he actually wasn't even looking at the ARK and it was implied the blast made it to Earth as Sonic's screen turned white
