So I am re-evaluating the Thanos vs Darkseid fight and one thing I should note is that while obviously Godhead Darkseid would win. Going by VSB's new system, Classic IG/HOTU/Cosmic Regulator Thanos is High 1-C to Low 1-B, only 2-A with the modern Infinity Gauntlet while Godhead Darkseid (Who >>>>>>>> Soulfire btw) is 1-B. Darkseid in his godhead cannot interact with Thanos and Thanos cannot interact with the Godsphere. I don't think Darkseid would ever be able to bring Thanos into the real Godsphere. The fourth-world appearances of Darkseid isn't the true Darkseid, just an emanation of him in fourth world and much bigger (High 2-A+ in the new system) and Thanos going through the Boom Tube to meet him would also be upsized to High 2-A+. Both of them there are solar system level, and while Darkseid has the speed advantage maybe, it should be noted that the universe speed feat is rendered null and inconsistent because the DC universe is infinite.

What would have happened is Thanos is brought into the Godsphere which nullifies the Gauntlet, but Thanos isn't facing Godhead, he's just facing Darkseid without the Gauntlet to bring advantage, and thus Thanos might or might not lose, but in the end Darkseid isn't killed even if he does win out. Only person who can kill Darkseid is a new god or something from Limbo, Monitorsphere, Dark Multiverse, 6th Dimension, etc, but Darkseid himself can only possess or use weaker emanations even on the Fourth World. So the battle is a victory for Darkseid or stalemate.
