>but more like the origin of the universe/reality?
Yeah. The Celestial Egg's origin predates the crimson cosmos of the earliest galaxies, much earlier than the birth of the Earth. Events you wouldn't be able to see no matter how much you stretch the lifespan of the human species.
We're explicitly told it's "the source of everything, and the cemetery of stars where all will in the end return". We've discussed this before; >>/jp/thread/46191174#p46197963
That's likely where Arc's Original One title comes from; the original natural phenomena at the beginning of Everything.
>How does it light up the universe?
By simply having more energy. Like the above posted screenshot states, all the stars in the cosmos across a 13.8 billion light years are a weak and paltry light source in comparison, since they have neither the density nor the time to light up the infinite expanse of the cosmos.
>Does it have infinite energy?
Infinite or very close, at least universal in scope. We're told the Celestial Egg needs to reside within a conceptual dimension (that conceptual universe) because it's too powerful to be allowed to become material. If Arc's body is destroyed it leaks to the surface, causing all sorts of problems.
>Also, what exactly is ORT's "inflation"?
It's probably the same thing. Tiamat also undergoes inflation. It seems to be an out of control state that occurs when there is too much energy in a single place, and the vessel cannot keep it contained without reverting to a stronger form (Tiamat) or releasing the surplus energy (ORT's Galactica SuperCell). Arc can outright ignore Inflation as long as she has her body due to her Principle of Focality.
>It said ontological observation redefined to 14.6 billion
That seemed to be referring to StarCell's age. ORT could come back because it's heart was alive someplace else.

Without the Retroflow phenomena she still wouldn't have a death for Shiki to see though. For the simple fact her heart reprenting her point of collapse can't be reached since it resides at the genesis of all creation.
There is no reason why her profile in the mats would list Retroflow as a weakness along with the MEoDP otherwise; those two are the only things that can be used to take down Arc.

>Arcueid is a mimicry, a flawed and slapdash Ultimate One
Never once mentioned, and you talk about fanfiction. Arcueid is a superior entity to every other Ultimate One from Notes. Her energy core is mentioned as being the beginning and end of the entire Tsukihime multiverse. Normal Arc is just her sleeping state so she doesn't demonstrate her full perks.
It's already been etablished Earth is an extremely special planet in the grand scheme of the cosmos with an hyper advanced alien civilization calling it a miracle of a planet. This same alien civilization didn't even bother trying to harness any other planet in the cosmos for thousands of years because they weren't of sufficiently high quality, including all the other ones in the solar system.

See, here is the thing; Arc's core/heart literally exists in it's own personal universe at the beginning and end of everything temporally speaking. Reaching her heart requires exceptional and extremely contrived measures that aren't replicable by 99.9% of beings.
At best you can damage the planet's leylines. and temporarily weaken her that way.

>in ancient times people believed in a celestial sphere, a rigid canopy covering Earth with the stars attached to it

This is likely what Nasu is going with Arc's Celestial Egg, also known as the Canopy Covering the Cosmos concept.

You can't really do that since Gaia existed before Ea was a thing and Arc's energy source comes from the Celestial Egg in the Inner Sea, where Ea can't reach.
Ea is just the Authority of an old God who's purpose was to turn the uninhabitable environment of the planet into something that could birth life. But as we've seen from Remake Arc's connection is even more primordial than that.

Arc's actual heart is literally the Celestial Egg, the beginning and end of everything in "reality". It's also implied to be the thing that provides power to Excalibur in other worlds, since the source of Excalibur's energy comes from the Inner Sea.
>Arc has literally zero feats to date
Her feats include absorbing the texture of reality unto herself, including every lifeform bound by gravity as well as gathering the energy of a star inside her body which is great enough to recreate the Earth and breaking down matter at a subatomic level. Her Breath of the Planet also tilts the axis of Earth.
She can casually dispatch Sefar. Especially when the Luminary was said to have more energy than anything ever observed which includes the Excalibur blast that destroyed Sefar.

The Celestial Egg is also called the source of everything and the cemetery of stars where all will in the end return.
That probably means Earth's texture covers outer space including other planets and stars, to a point those celestial bodies are also under it's purview.
