What a "Not Equal" is remains completely undefined; the term has been used to describe both beings that are "parts" of Ajimu, (the candidates), beings that have Skills granted to them by Ajimu (Aka), and "beings that transcend humanity" (so far only Ajimu and Hanten).
Regardless of whether or not there are other Not Equals as powerful as Ajimu, one has to question why she simply can't, for example, use her Teleportation Skill to warp Iihiko into deep space and her Gravity Control Skill to crush him into a black hole. He might recover from that relatively quickly depending on how powerful he is, but his level of power should have nothing to do with how long Ajimu can stall him for; the Skill she has that we already know about should be more than enough to occupy him for longer than 15 seconds.
Only thing I can think of is if he's immune to all her Skills somehow, but that raises an interesting question:
If Ajimu's entire character drama prior to the ending of her arc was about "trying to find something impossible", and assuming she is omniscient as the narration claims she is, why hasn't she tried to defeat Iihiko before now, assuming she cannot, in fact, beat him?

So, yea. Bullshit.

I would say that saying it's simply because she is a Not-Equal is rather premature. Maybe it's just her number of abilities. After all, she has more than billions, Hanten has just one. A very special one, but just one that we know of.

And if that was so, saying she is all-powerful is equally just as bullshit, since if she is not above everyone else, then by definition she is not all-powerful.

So, if we take the narrator's words at face value, the inclusion of this demon guy is, well, just plain illogical and if she can blink that guy out easily, just a double-edged sword.

Perhaps you are right otherwise Ajimu wouldn't gotten trolled in the Not Equals arc. You think she'd be able to curbstomp this demon guy without much of a challenge but she said could only hold him off for fifteen seconds. I am not sure if that means anything but Ajimu might not be as all powerful as we thought.
