> And I know you can't answer me. Speak with one voice or anything. Because you're not one voice. You're all of them. Hobbes's whale, not Sinbad's or Jonah's, or Munchhausen's. And Hobbes's whale was just a symbol. It stood for the power of the masses. A billion living things making up one huge entity

**Attack Potency:** **1-A** (Exist beyond the hierarchy of worlds with everything being nothing but something like a dream compared to the Leviathan. 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. Even dimensions are completely irrelevant to the characters that resides 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 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. Contains an infinite hierarchy of his entire species within him, with each whale transcending the previous whale before them . 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)
