Let's do some Math™ on how close the Almighty is to Earth.

In its intro vid, the Almighty appears to be as far across as the diameter of the planet it is consuming. We have no scale on this world as it is some far off system, but let's assume for a minute that planet is meant
to be about the same size as Mercury. This would mean the Almighty is somewhere around 3000 miles across from tip to tip.

Our moon is around 2100 miles in diameter. During a solar eclipse, our moon nearly completely encompasses the sun as we see it in our sky.
Currently, the Almighty appears in front of our sun, but it sticks out significantly on either side of the sun's silhouette. In fact, about 1/3 of its length is sticking out on either side, meaning only 1/3 of it is covering the sun, or around 1000 miles.
This would mean that the Almighty is somewhere between our Moon and Earth. Or less than 240k miles away.

"But DVS, 3000 miles across seems like a serious overestimate on its size."

1 AU(astronomical unit) is the approximate average distance from our Earth to the sun. It is equal to about 92,956,000 miles.

Season of Worthy started on March 10th, 77 days ago. This means to get within the Moon's orbit, it would have to have been traveling an average of
1,204,103 miles a day.

So with that being said, the moment we could notice the Almighty eclipsing our sun, it would impact the Earth the same day.

So if it does not impact the Last City tomorrow at the latest, then this whole season was bad math 😤
"What if it impacted something along the way that slowed its travel?"

Nothing short of impacting with another planet in our solar system would be able to slow something like that down.

"Well what about it escaping the Sun's gravitational pull?"

That could very well have an
effect on its speed, but considering they already had it moving well beyond fast enough to escape the Sun's pull when they threw it on this collision course, that effect on its velocity would only be reduced as it moved further and further away from the Sun.
"What about it being locked in geosynchronous orbit with Mercury? Surely that would have an effect on its trajectory as it drifts with no additional propulsion after the initial launch."

That very well could be the case, yes. But all that does is increase the distance traveled
by the Almighty, while the distance from the Sun to the Earth would remain the same. With a longer distance in the same amount of time, it would have to be traveling even FASTER than on a direct path to have reached here in the same amount of time.
PS

I realize using the Sun's exact position to measure its travel distance is inaccurate. Let's even assume the Almighty was halfway between the Sun and Mercury when it began traveling. That would still mean 986k miles traveled a day, 4 trips from the Earth to the Moon. 🙃
PSS

Let's even go so far as to assume it had made it to Venus's orbit by the time Zavala and Ana got on there.

That would still be an average speed of 337k miles a day.

Still meaning it should impact by tomorrow's reset. 🙃
tl;dr:
