Could wreck all the Endbringers eventually. It might take long enough that the Endbringer gets away and causes as many casualties as it wants on the way out. What are the limits on mass ratios?

Angels are limited in a sort of handwavy way by the combination of mass and volume. Anything that's not that big, they can work on in a sensible timeframe even if it's ultra dense; they can also do very large volumes of rareified things; it's big dense stuff they have trouble handling quickly. If they knew where the core was I'd definitely expect them to obliterate any Endbringer on the first try; without knowing that they'd wind up trying to do the whole thing at once, which would slow them down, especially on Behemoth since he big.

How does the transforming thing work with super dense things, though? Wouldn't turning the core of an Endbringer into water end up flooding the planet?

I'm pretty sure they can't be that dense... right?

Endbringers are kind of bullshit. Turning an Endbringer core into water could plausibly flood the galaxy.

I'm half tempted to say if they're that dense then how does gravity but I'm pretty sure the answer is more bullshit, so.

I think they are tough, not necessarily dense. That probably requires less total bullshit.

No they're pretty explicitly said to be dense enough to break physics, and Black Holes aren't dense enough to break physics, so.

They are dense, and they break physics, but I don’t remember those two facts being explicitly connected. Once physics is broken the concept of a physical property like density being high enough to break physics is also broken.
