Also, there is a dude in Elder Scrolls Online who just by using regular magic is capable of stopping time.
Puh there are several, she endured a 117 days mental attack from Hades in his own realm as example.
That sounds about equivalent to a dragon being tortured to death by Molag Bal.
There are, or have been, or will be a race of beings upon Nirn called Dragons, creatures of almost Daedra-like majesty. They naturally sought domination over the mortals of Nirn, and achieved a measure of success therein.
But upon a time that was and will be the ever-pernicious mortals of Tamriel betrayed these their natural masters, and those who were not slain were driven into hidden refuge. Then one such Dragon, a greater Dov named Boziikkodstrun, exerted his nigh-divine will in an attempt to fly beyond the borders of the Mundus. And though he did not succeed, his effort was valorous and remarkable, and impinged upon the attention of Molag Bal himself.
Our Lord and Master noted this feat of will-force, considered that the race of Dov had achieved dominion over much of Nirn, and thus spake unto this Boziikkodstrun, offering him a place of honor and privilege in his domain of Coldharbour. And the Dragon, his resources all but spent by his efforts, did accept and agree.
So Molag Bal opened a window between worlds to allow the Dragon to pass into our Lord's realm, where Boziikkodstrun was granted the privilege of being bound in chains of cold ebon iron, and set in a place of honor in the nethermost depths of the Tower of Lies. For our Lord and Master desired to know the secrets of the Dragons' dominance over the mortals of Nirn. Long was the Dragon tortured and interrogated. But the dragon was haughty, and indignant at his ill treatment, and no matter what torments were brought to bear, the intransigent Boziikkodstrun refused to utter so much as a single syllable in his abrasive language to reveal the secrets of the Dov.
Vexed by this obstinate defiance—and rightly so—our Lord and Master at length waxed wroth and avenged himself upon Boziikkodstrun by slow consumption of the flesh from his bones, yea, every gobbet.

To cut a long story short: Molag Bal is quite literally a god, who is the embodiment of domination, schemes and enslavement. He is in command of his own plane of Oblivion, which is infinite in mass, and he can create virtually unlimited pocket dimensions which themselves are infinite in mass. His realm of Oblivion is his will come manifest.
Out of all of the Daedric Princes, if any of them were to have expertise in interrogation, torture and mental domination, it would be him. But because dragons themselves are closely tied to the Time God Akatosh - they are described as his children - they have immense willpower far beyond that of the other mortal races. Dragons are immortal and have existed since, or pretty close to, the dawn of time. They're like minor gods.
And the Dragonborn can bend their minds to his will by saying three words to them. Pretty easily.

Her lasso offers soul protection on a godly lvl and can theoretically also attack and manipulate souls(but she don't uses the offensive part in character), that thing could simply negate tons of hax abilities(even reality warping) in Pre Flashpoint.
The Dragonborn can rip a dragon's soul out directly, something a Daedric Prince cannot do. But it sounds like she has enough protection.
But yeah, like I said, I'm not that familiar with Diana, nor do I think we can ever really get a clear answer to this fight. It's two extremely different universes squaring off against each other. The Elder Scrolls, especially the player characters, have pretty ambiguous upper limits of power. They are essentially bound by prophecy to never lose in the context of the series, every game they go against unbeatable odds and win, and it's never really made clear how they are able to do that. With the Dragonborn, he theoretically could be a powerhouse on Diana's level, or somewhere much less powerful. It would never be made clear unless a writer wrote a comic between the two of them and they fought, which would never happen with a player character anyway.
