It seems to me that the longer you have it, the more effective it would be. If the hypothetical old man got it one minute ago, he might not have time to take on the powerhouses mentioned. But with more time, he could gather whatever ingredients are needed for the strongest magic (or the equipment for any devices needed). He could find the Fountain of Youth to get his strength back. And of course, he'd know, from the time he gained omniscience, that the fight was coming and when so he'd be prepared, and most important of all, he wouldn't make any mistakes.
