Most powerful Titan, yes. Most powerful being in the Universe? Not remotely. (Though i suppose that depends on your definition of Universe in this case; the Void Lords are clearly far more powerful than anything native to the Great Dark Beyond, but that power, and their pure alien nature is why they cannot directly manifest.) That is why they need to create a 'Void Titan' - so it can consume matter and energy and draw more of the physical reality into the Void. (Pg 24)
What Archimonde thinks, and what is true are two totally unrelated things. People "Think" that Sargeras fears Ul'thalesh or the Maw, but i seriously doubt he does.
There is no mention of this at all. They were fighting Sargeras, alone. As for the time it took and if he "wore them down" - that's pure assumption on your part. All Chronicle says is that the battle was so intense it warped reality and destroyed stars, scarring vast stretches of reality. Given the power of the beings involved, such a fight might as well have taken ten minutes as ten centuries - we have no way of knowing.
Might as well have been. They didn't even tire him. He basically beat them down and killed them at his leisure.
Ok. Sargeras can literally cut a planet in two. In one stroke.
Except Archimonde wasnt there to destroy, he was there to conquer. The Legion is always looking for new converts.
All that has been stated is that Azeroth could have been more powerful than Sargeras before he became the leader of the Legion, empowered by Fel. Wether or not that translates into more powerful than the current Sargeras, is unknown (and not likely, as titans are "Uniquely susceptible to fel magic" (Pg 49).
The Pantheon are deader than doornails, with tiny, tiny portions of their power remaining inside various Keepers, and perhaps inside Wrathion. The power that couldn't be absorbed into the Keepers, (their shells unable to contain the full power of the Titans) just dwinded off into nothing.
If Mar'dum exploding couldn't kill him, i seriously doubt Argus is going to be able to do it. All it did was fuse fel energy into his being permanently and make him much more powerful.
There's no particularly believable way to achieve it, though.
Envious of the Titan's power doens't mean "weaker than the Titans". The Void Lords couldn't manifest in physical reality. Thus, why they are jealous.
No Void Lord has ever manifested in our universe. They couldn't, so they instead seeded the universe with an unknown but extremely large number of fragmented pieces of themselves - the Old Gods. The Old Gods are literally tiny fragments of the Void Lords' power.
So powerful and alien they cannot manifest fully in our reality (exactly like the Old Gods they are based upon in Lovecraftian lore).
Powerful enough to literally end creation if their plans succeed.
The problem isn't "can Blizzard create some ass-pull dumbfuckery to let us kill Sargeras" - because they can literally invent whatever they want.
The question is wether they Should. The answer is No.
From a guy who writes games systems and fantasy storylines for said games for a part time income...
you can have an ultra-powerful enemy be the bad guy, and have relatively weak good guys defeat him. It can be good storytelling. But the way to do that is to have the weaklings work the periphery - cause the bad guy to lose not because they outmatched him strength to strength, but rather, beat him because they rob him of what he needs for victory.
You dont have to beat the enemy - just stop him from winning.
Honestly, if i were writing this shit show, we'd be attempting to re-build Mardum (say, by turning Argus into said prison...) and locking Sargeras burning ass in it.
