What about a guy who can hack reality, because the whole world's a simulation? But it's so incredibly in depth in takes a shitton of time?

He can do anything, given enough time. Some things are easier than others, but just finding the right code can be difficult, and some creatures have firewalls, others are infested with defensive viruses that start hacking the code that makes him up, etc.

Sure you can try to find the code for the Terrasque, and it'll be pretty big, and pretty distinct, and deleting stuff is easy. Too bad you have to run through a gauntlet of security measures and firewalls to get to it. Oh, and don't forget that a. you can't hack your own code as it's too complex for you to avoid breaking your ability to code and infini-looping, and b. The Terrasque has an alert system which means he's coming for you.

EDIT: You can hack yourself once you reach Epic. Several gods were born this way. Quite a few of the others were their friends.
