Actually, it is highly unlikely that under Gods of manifold Baxter mentioned Old Ones. Gods of manifold are various beings that embody/are consciousness of any given universe, and manifold itself that as a greater system most likely conscious, so sentient. And given that manifold is infinitely layered type IV multiverse ,it have infinite hierarchy of Gods with manifold mind as supreme one. Furthermore it is highly implied that manifold of manifolds and its further recursion also have its own life and Gods ad infinitum... Downstreamers are ones who created and control this hierarchy, and exist in some strange abstract form, there is no sense anymore to speak if they exist inside or outside of this hierarcy.So, in manifoldverse Old Ones are not all-powerful Gods ,they are ones who created infinite hierarhy of all-powerful Gods and impose rules on them.
