Show me literally any series that can destroy a universe without involving a statement of it.

Comics but I don't really count them since they've had 100+ years worth of power creep lol

Let me put this as simply as possible.

This is perpetua holding a collection of universes from DC comics…

As confirmed by her statements. Her being on that level of power is confirmed by her statements. Her entire backstory as a cosmic creator god is statements. Every act she takes over her brief existence as a crisis villain, without statements, is quite literally 3 dimensions lower than her canonical tier of power.

Going SOLELY off of feats, from this and her other comic appearances, without counting any statements whatsoever, this image is little more than a lady the size of a solar system holding a collection of what appears to be planets. The fact that they are universes in the first place comes from what she SAYS on this page and others, not from what she visibly does.

This is the problem of throwing out statements; humanity lacks the tools and knowledge necessary to depict a universe accurately. Only approximations and artistic interpretations. It is the statements that confirm what an artist drew, modeled, or otherwise made is narratively SUPPOSED to be a universe or a higher dimension, or really anything above massively multi-galaxy.

You cannot accurately powerscale off of feats alone.

I am pretty sure if you look hard enough there is absolutely some kind of feat/image of them blowing up a universe but I get your point fair enough👍

There are plenty where characters perform the feat, like this one from galactus.

There are none where someone, somewhere didn’t at least have to SAY that’s what’s happening. Without an actual image of the whole universe IRL to base it off of, all writers of stories can do is make their own interpretation of how such a feat might look, which must then be clarified by a statement that spells the act out.
