Spirit bomb becomes the size of an actual universe

Well. Honestly I get the feeling zeno isn't all that powerful in the conventional sense. And the spirit bomb is genki or life energy. Powerful stuff to be sure but pretty much everyone has the same amount. So I imagine not much would happen. Same thing even if all the angles and Gods of destruction raised their hand. Hell im still not sure that spirit bomb coulda taken down jiren with how easily he deflected the original. It doesn't matter how powerful the person or people are again it's there life energy. Cool thought though. But if you want to get technical the immortal garlic jr would be who you want to raise his hand. A truly immortal person has an inexhaustible supply of life energy. So technically you could make a spirit bomb strong enough to take out even the grand angle man himself with the genki from garlic jr alone. Itd just take some time since your drawing from one person rather than trillions of people/organisms

While taking into consideration, I can see curiosity getting the better of me momentarily, before realizing that no ones alive, and leaving after not even leaving the area of the time machine.
