He may have been ‘killed’ by a sword of his own creation but he would have known it was not perminent. He may not want to destroy the Great Evil Beast out of his own mercy or to maintain the balance. He may have planned for Elaine Belloc to supplant him all along. He can’t read the motivations of ‘equal’ beings, or perhaps he feigns ignorance because any consequences are inconsequential.

Talking about a ‘supreme being’ immediately conjures paradoxes. Believers refute such paradoxes with two generic responses; supreme power within the limits of possibility, or our minds can’t possibly fathom such power.

Nah, it was stated in Swamp Thing that The Presence was incapable of killing GEB because it's the dark half of the Presence. And The Presence, though very powerful, is still just a character on the canvas. Hell, the entire DC Omniverse is just a speck to it.
