Oryx can take much more than a thousand. He is actually immortal. He is far more powerful than you think. He and either Crota or his Sister were able to take a moon to the phase and laughed it off. Literally. He's taken entire worlds in a few hours. His son Crota, is no push-over either as he threw him threw a vex gate, to the most remote corner of time and made him come back the hard way. By simply living his way there. Slaughtering anything and setting up temples to his father. Oryx and his Sisters killed each other to strengthen each other and each time they come back, they are more powerful. If you are still not convinced, Oryx defeated a vex mind that was compleat ontological. If that mind wanted to just simply remove something from reality, it could. Oryx killed that mind.
