The Lord Of Nightmares (Slayers) vs Grand Zeno (DBS)

[Kirika]

The Lord Of Nightmares and all her glory vs Grand Zeno and all he has to offer.

LoN is a true omnipotent and omniscient. Zeno can erase universes but has shown no control over reality and appears to have no more awareness than an ordinary child. To learn something he has to be told or observe it in person. Zeno rules 12 universes (18 before he destroyed 6 of them) but it's unclear if he created them. LoN contains infinite universes inside herself.

LoN just operates on a completely different level.

What is the most impressive show of power done by the Lord of Nightmares?

So, not comparing with Zeno or anything here, but just for information's sake: LoN has created multiple universes and beings who have the power to end those universes (IIRC this has actually happened at least once with Death Fog). A bit of LoN's power (and I say a bit because LoN's power is LoN's non-body and it's pretty verifiable that only the tiniest portion of LoN was actually IN Lina, since she floated away into the Sea of Chaos, which is the rest of her body/mind/power after) is stated by beings who should REALLY know what they're talking about, to be able to pretty easily destroy a universe if allowed to run rampant, but to the best of my knowledge we never actually see this.

As for my opinion on the fight: Key factors here, *I* think, are that while Zeno has the more visible feat of actually ending a universe, it kind of stops there, and LoN is impossibly vaster than any single universe, as universes are simply things that extend from her "body." Being that her body is effectively the vast empty chasm at the end of all things, where universes sink into when they die, I don't think Zeno actually has what it takes to kill her. Comparatively, Zeno is totally lacking any kind of durability feats (unless I missed something). I'm sure we can at least float him being unkillable by anything up to and including the the strongest fighters who we've actually seen fight, but overall, I think that gives LoN the advantage if we're really going to compare omnipotents here. Either that or neither one of them has actually demonstrated the power to kill the other. Still, the fact that Zeno can be effectively copied by human-achieved time travel, makes me feel like he has the more defined limit to what he is.

Really, I think we just don't see enough of what either could actually do.

Edit: I guess I'll add that Lost Universe handily verifies that these are actually complete universes.

Zeno has the durability feat of being completely unharmed from being at ground zero of the blast he released to destroy Future Trunks' local multiverse, for what it's worth.

For my opinion, while the Lord of Nightmares has better feats and lore for being a cosmic being of unlimited scope and power, the Lord of All Things has better feats of being able to insta-kill entire universe with neglible effort, even while floating around in the void between universes, and have entire baseball team's worth of casual universe busters practically soil themselves just from his looking at them funny, with the implication that he's actually a lot less doofy than he appears to be, considering that the remote Tournament of Power turned out to be a secret test of character rather than just a way to entertain him as it originally seemed to be.

Still, he explicitly exists within the multiverse, as temporal shenanigans that caused a new timeline to occur also caused a new Zeno to appear and stick around, whereas the LoN is the Golden Sea of Chaos within which multiverse randomly spawn, so she at least seems to be the more abstract being of the two.

I'm not sure that's really a durability thing. It's hard to gauge, since it's not like it was an explosion or anything, just a rapidly expanding light and then the universe was gone. But then, I'd expect him to be able to survive universe busting fine anyway, since I doubt any of the GoDs could actually do him harm

and have entire baseball team's worth of casual universe busters practically soil themselves just from his looking at them funny

I mean, we're given to understand that two GoDs fighting will destroy a universe, but is there anything to suggest that it's something they can do casually?

Yeah, I'm kind of landing on "I'm not sure they can meaningfully interact" here.
