Why are the Elder Gods stated to be omnipotent? Apparently, they couldn't outright destroy the One Being. They are extremely reluctant to interfere in the realms out of fear of awakening it. Shinnok did not demonstrated omnipotence otherwise he would not have been defeated. In several non-cannonical endings, they are killed either by the One Being or Onaga. Shinnok breaking out of the Neatherealm and invading the heanvens has been treated as a real threat to them. So why not state they are immensely powerful or nigh-omnioptent? Or is it supposed to be "omnipotent" in the sense they are the most powerful beings around and anything that can be done by a being they can do like an absolute monarch has omnipotent political power, but they cannot literally do anything.

Looking at the edit history, they has almost caused edit wars in the past so would someone please inform me why that term is used?
