if i did any math wrong or if you have any other ideas for the God Of the Great Old Ones Tell me please.

Belial666:
First of all, there is no contest to build the most powerful character ever using DFRPG rules.

Secondly, supernatural heavyweights are plain beyond stats, at least using the existing rules. Mab can cause a snowstorm big enough to cover the entire city of Chicago and barely exert herself. Uriel killed the firstborn children of an entire nation. The Morningstar created a circle of Hellfire a quarter-mile across hot enough to instantly obliterate Denarians and powerful enough to cut off the Archive (a lesser supernatural heavyweight herself) without even being present on the same world at all. Any one of those feats would require thousands of shifts of power, not dozens or hundreds. A supernatural heavyweight that is uncontrolled and unbound by rules could well destroy civilization - which is why breaking the balance of Faerie back in Summer Knight was a really bad idea. It is also why summoning Old Ones is a bad idea.

Third, the absolute maximum base power the system allows in evocation if you follow the rules is 24 power. That's nowhere near thousands. So if you follow the rules, you plain can't stat them.

BumblingBear:
Uh... yeah.

Plot devices that powerful really don't have a place being statted in a game.

Normal power characters, hell, even the white council would be obliterated...

And if your PCs are powerful enough to deal with something like that, they won't have any other problems interesting enough to make a good game.

ways and means:
I doubt killing all the firstborn in Ancient Egypt would be more than a 80 shift ritual with thaumaturgy we are talking thousands of deaths max, as for the others I agree with you pretty much un-stat able though I wouldn’t count the Archive as a real power player on that level, she is as squishy mortal and a thug with a bottle could kill her if she was caught unawares and wasn't being protected by our favourite mercenary. In terms of raw cosmic power she is slightly weaker than Harry though I admit she does have near infinite lore and above epic discipline, If I had to rat her lore skill it would be over 9000.

ok ok fine i see were you are going there with this but whats the fun in making a supernatural heavyweight(which i did cause i wanted to not as a contest or anything) if you don't stat them or try to and he is going to be a plot device but more like you never fight him because his aspect that oh crap that i forgot to put in is not to be powerful try to destroy every one with his power. no no no its to F#@k with the little guy.  Also kinda as a joke my friend said the Almighty's Powers and stats are this
