Zeno
The childlike deity who holds the power to erase all twelve universes with a single thought.
Zeno, also known as Zeno-Sama or the Omni-King, stands as the supreme ruler of all twelve universes in the Dragon Ball multiverse. Unlike traditional deities who govern a single realm, Zeno possesses absolute authority over every universe, including the power to erase entire worlds and their inhabitants from existence with a mere thought. He is not a fighter but has the power to erase entire universes; there had originally been 18 universes instead of the current 12. His role in the narrative shifts from a distant, terrifying force to a central figure during the Tournament of Power arc. The other deities are unnerved when Goku casually approaches him.
Lore & Background
Zeno exists outside the conventional hierarchy of gods, standing above even the Grand Priest and the Supreme Kais. He resides in the Zeno Palace, a dimension separate from the standard multiverse, where he is attended by his personal staff. This capability was demonstrated when the Zeno of the alternate future timeline, summoned by Goku, erased Zamasu along with the entirety of that timeline's multiverse. Despite his overwhelming power, Zeno's personality is strikingly simple and childlike.
Reader's Guide
The rules governing Zeno's reign are simple yet absolute: his word is law. If he decides a universe is no longer needed or entertaining, it is erased without warning or appeal. This power was formalized when the Tournament of Power was convened to determine which universes would survive. The stakes were clear; if a universe lost its representative fighters, Zeno would erase it entirely.
