Attack Potency: High Outerverse level (The Leviathan contains an infinite hierarchy of his entire species within him, with each whale transcending the previous whale below them. The Leviathans live in stacked oceans, these oceans are the substrate which underlies and is responsible for the existence of the worlds of stories. Even the fry of Leviathan's species are capable of tearing apart the hierarchy of stories, existing completely outside it, and would be unaffected by the hierarchy's destruction. The hierarchy of worlds is an endless hierarchy of stories, with no top or bottom and where a world on a lower layer is fictional to the world above it. It has been shown that the difference between the stories in the hierarchy of worlds is more than dimensions and it's even possible for a single story to contain its own hierarchy of stories. Even dimensions are completely irrelevant to the characters that reside in the upper-world stories. An example of this is how Wilson Taylor wrote the Tommy Taylor series where there are mages who can "add entire dimensions to physical space" and resides in "hyperplanes". The world of Tommy Taylor exist but it exists in a lower story and is nothing but fiction to the higher world where Wilson Taylor resides. This shows that the difference between the lower story and the higher story is more than dimensions. Even dimensions are nothing but fiction to the world/story that resides above it. Each story contains three different spaces, the first is the story space which contains the physical part of the story. The second space is the narrative channel, a domain of pure concept and is the source of the words/concepts that describes the world. Beyond these spaces exists the page, a vastness of non-being where time doesn't exist. It is the ultimate non-being, the anti-thesis of essence and existence)
