It's hard to imagine we'd be fighting the real Middy, though I suppose there is also some rationale for Omega to think along the lines of "this being might be as strong as me so I'll make you take him down first" (to get him out of the way so he can't interrupt real fight against Omega)

IDK. I'm pretty psyched. More than I thought I would be!
Omega has fought Midgardsormr before. In fact, Midgardsormr is currently the only thing to actually damage Omega, if I recall correctly. So Omega knows how strong Grandad Wyrm was in his Prime.
Omega likely made Midgardsormr a contender because this will most likely affect our characters in some shape or form (while it may just be data, we are technically going to kill a version of a dragon who has been with us since 2.5 and has saved us from being deleted).
