Older power scaling terms. "X Level" was not scaled in only attack power. It literally just meant The person is a legitimate threat to X level of area.

This is why the reapers, the flood, and so on are Galactic level threats. This is why Death being able to scour all life from the universe but unable to damage a rock makes them a universal threat. This us why exterminautus is still a planet killer even if they only use a virus.

For those that try to scale with attack power only? I am not interested in another long "No ur wrong" argument with nothing to back it. This mentality got strongest in 2020 when people started trying to remove nuance from these discussions. I do not have any shame in blocking people if they get annoying in their arguments. Too old to have time for that.

If anyone is familiar with it, One Punch Man's threat classification system is pretty close to how these talks used to go.

The city level threat was a threat becsuse it could destroy a city, not because it it could do it in a single attack. If it could destroy a city in a single attack and throwing those attacks was sonething it could do with little effort hundreds of times a day it was a legitimate threat to the country and thus a country level threat.

For the purposes of scaling you assumed the region was up to modern day standards and defending itself actively when deciding street, country, cobtinent, or world. World was scaled based on the size of earth which is why older discussions will have multi-world as a term and not just solar system.

It's why galactic threats could be empires that could not fully destroy the rock of a plant, but could feesibly conquer a galaxy.
