Is Touhou the greatest shared universe since the Cthulhu Mythos?

Other than the fact that when you're anywhere NEAR it, its expanded consciousness is trying to force itself into your mind, there's also the fact that it's a nightmarish creature which doesn't obey physical laws and moves "in impossible ways".

Cthulhu's not very world-tier, though. He's just famous because he's an octopus-head.

That is not dead which can eternal lie
And with strange aeons Cthulhu wouldn't even last 12 minutes in the Nasuverse

With a strange aeon of failing stars, yes.

Strange aeons aside, no. Cthulhu cannot be killed by any method short of killing the stars themselves, the Outer Gods, which is rightly impossible.

Please try to learn some proper Lovecraft beforehand...

The Elder Gods are (at least somewhat) ALLIED with humanity; the Great Old Ones are the chaotic omnicidal beings.

Cthulhu is not an Elder God, but he's nearly-identical semi-brother Khtanid is.
