SOTU
The Soul of the Undying (SOTU) is a vast and enigmatic entity born from the collective consciousness of humanity’s deepest desire: release from suffering, an end to the torment of existence. Unlike any being bound to life or death, SOTU embodies the very essence of despair, manifesting as a force that personifies the longing for finality. It is the architect of Overlap, a sprawling realm that defies the ordinary structure of time and space, its dimensions expanding billions of times beyond the human universe. Within Overlap, an intricate web of infinite parallel realities exists—each branching from others, reflecting countless possible outcomes, and further generating new realities in a continuously evolving, boundless network.


Overlap

Overlap is unlike any human concept of space; it stands outside linear time, where moments from the past, present, and future converge in a single, fluid tapestry. Here, time flows irregularly, intertwining different realities and allowing events across all timelines to exist simultaneously. This environment creates paradoxes and breaks the fundamental laws of cause and effect, as actions in one version of reality can ripple into alternate timelines or delay impacts into distant futures. For humans who find themselves in Overlap, it becomes a dangerous experience, as the disorienting convergence of time can trap individuals in endless loops or echoes of events that have yet to occur.

The potential death of SOTU is foreboding. Because Overlap is tethered to the collective subconscious of humanity—formed from the shared yearning for death and freedom from suffering—the destruction of SOTU would unravel the fabric of this realm. Such an event could collapse Overlap entirely, potentially devastating the human world itself by erasing all the realities it holds. SOTU’s link to the Primordial Void, a darkness that predated the creation of light and form, adds to this gravity. The Void, representing the ultimate emptiness, existed before awareness or creation; in embodying this darkness, SOTU stands as a being that challenges existence itself, as if it is both part of reality and yet its negation.

In this way, SOTU reflects the most profound depths of human despair and hopelessness, symbolizing the ultimate desire for peace through oblivion. If unchecked, it threatens not only the realities contained within Overlap but also human existence itself, which would be swallowed by this timeless realm, leaving no distinction between life, memory, and the void.

Is "Overlap" some kind of "Space' outside the parallel realities, or is it some higher time? In the latter's case, this does seem like a hypertimeline. But in case of the prior, you'll need to prove that "Overlap" is a space of significant size, most easily provable by something like "It's endless/infinite".

Logimon regarded Ren thoughtfully. "Overlap," it explained in its calm, timeless voice, "is an expanse far beyond your universe. It holds an infinite network of parallel realities—each one like a branch, constantly creating new branches. Every parallel world here mirrors countless possibilities, and each of these possibilities branches out again, producing an equally boundless spread of new realities."

Continuing, Logimon added, "In Overlap, past, present, and future converge. Time flows without strict order, bending and merging across every parallel reality. This creates a world where each action can ripple outward across timelines, looping back or creating impacts far in the future. The sheer vastness, with layers upon layers of realities feeding into new ones, gives Overlap an endless complexity. And for those who enter unprepared, it can trap them in echoes of events that haven't even happened yet."

No. This only indicates its endless size comes from it containing an infinite amount of universes; which any 2-A structure does. What should be different is that the unoccupied space between each universe should also be infinite.

How about this:

"Overlap is not merely a medium; it is an expansive domain that contains all realities. Picture a vast library, where each book represents a distinct universe, organized into countless blocks, each with its own unique subject. Between these blocks, there exists a void of limitless expanse, allowing for an infinite arrangement of these realities without boundaries.

As you traverse this library, moving in any direction—left, right, up, down, in, or out—you will find no edges or limits, only an endless array of books and blocks. This space extends infinitely, providing room for the countless realities contained within it. In essence, Overlap embodies a realm that is not just full but perpetually capable of accommodating more, existing in a state of profound, unending breadth."

"Overlap? Ah, yes, Overlap. From the notes we've discovered within the Astana, it is described as a realm above space, beyond time—a place where all possible realities manifest in tangible form. It is said that its endpoints are never visible because this space, in essence, knows no limitations, unlike the fleeting existence of human life that eventually comes to an end."

This seems more like minimum 1-A at this point xD.
2) Through a qualitative superiority over lesser things, which is to say: Ontologically surpassing all the contents of a lower reality, and being above their physical composition and differentiation. Characters of this nature don't simply lack all physicality and composition (As in Type 1), but surpass it altogether, being of a wholly superior nature that is not reachable by lower states of existence.

As a default, statements of being "above dimensions" are set at Low 1-A, and the same is applied to statements indicating superiority over "All of space and time," and similar. However, if they are applied to realms that can be inferred to surpass the very composition of the lower reality (e.g. Realms that are, themselves, non-composite, such as conceptual domains, or often, voids of nothingness), then 1-A is the most appropriate rating for them.

Furthermore, keep in mind that Type 2 Beyond-Dimensional Existence (In particular the latter variant) is not simply a combination of a non-dimensional state of existence and greater raw power than all dimensional structures in a cosmology – Though that is a necessary condition to qualify for it, it is not a sufficient one. Instead, the non-dimensional state of existence must be the direct cause of the character/realm's superiority over dimensions. A simple example being voids of nothingness that lack space, time and physicality entirely, but are nonetheless "vaster" than physical reality in some way, with common imagery being the universe as a small object encompassed in such a backdrop.
 
Nah I don't think it's a Hypertimeline. It's just a dimension where the time of realities overlap. LOTM has a similar thing and it didn't give it anything extra.
