It seems clear that Torotoro Resistance did not intend to have Luka and his party be anywhere near universe-level, given that outside of the fights with XX-Class Apoptosis, they consider things like collapsing buildings threatening and at no point are they worried about destroying the planet by accident with their power. As another example, you can recruit Apoptosis and make them fight normal monsters, and this isn't portrayed as one-sided in the Apoptosis' favour. I suspect that XX-Class Apoptosis (and other beings on that level) may find it more difficult to affect things at the small scale compared to affecting entire universes (which is their actual purpose).
