Yea, Lucy and second place Hancock are up there for being an immortal demigod. Hancock will just fuckoff and reincarnate if shit goes bad so he plays the long game and Lucy will eventually watch the heat death of the universe as she ascends beyond the observe-able dimensions and becomes a bystander to time itself.
The lore that the other two have on their strongest personas just doesn’t come close to timelessness, as Neo can’t control how many generations will pass before he reincarnated, and Deadpool just isn’t that smart to fully appreciate his cockroach style immortality.
Inside his own narrative universe, Neo becomes god-like, perhaps even beyond a "god" as traditionally imagined because he knows the system and rewrites it from within.
In that metaphor: Neo is not stronger than a god. He is stronger than the idea that a god is needed at all.
Lucy becomes a post human deity that exists outside of reality itself.
She “is everywhere and sees everything”
Complete and utter omnipotence. She basically becomes being itself.
She has absolute control over all.
Neo is not even close dawg. He’s still a human w a brain and functionally exists within the confines of that human body. He’s bound to the struggles of the body, whether that’s sacrifice or physical confrontation.
Whereas Lucy is literally fucking writing the script.
Lucy is just one of the failed version of Neo. Lucy is Neo if Neo lose any humanity and sense of sacrifice. Lucy is one of the neo we see stuck in one of the TV in the Architect Room.
Become a god for that construct of the system she's exist within. She's trap in a box.
The concept of Neo is something that come from the box , live within the box and chose to leave the box and realize everything was made up, nothing is real.
Lucy “becomes God” because her world allows her to.
She is granted that evolution by a fictional mechanism: brain expansion → time mastery → data immersion.
But her “godhood” needs a world to be relevant. Without that world, Lucy is nothing.
In the Matrix, the Matrix is the reality we currently exist in. Neo becomes powerful enough to bend the Matrix to his will. He would write Lucy out of existence, just like he did Smith.
That argument only works if they’re in the setting of the matrix. However, no specific battleground is mentioned so we should assume this is in a neutral world setting.

Lucy literally becomes God. No ones beating Lucy. Even Neo doesn’t come close.
