The Goddesses (name, 'Choushin,' literally translates as 'super gods'😉 made countless universes as part of an experiment to create something more powerful than than. They cannot manifest fully in our universe without destroying it, they're simply too powerful. And too 12th dimensional.
Tenchi, in the future, will be even stronger than them. In the present he once temporarily awakened some of his future potential and the galaxy was destroyed, and was in danger of messing up the entire universe. His future self came back and got him out of control.
However, things like 'the galaxy being destroyed' is easily fixed by the Choushin. You see the incident that caused Tenchi to awaken was when Z, a Lighthawk Wing user- Lighthawk Wings being the 'manifestation of god power' and an effectively perfect defense that can translate any amount of incoming fire into a harmless form, though they can be canceled out by other LHWs- from another universe was angry at one of the Choushin for not resetting his universe to undo the death of his family (Only the Goddesses, things that draw on the Goddesses, and the results of the multiversal experiment can make Wings. Goddesses can recreate anything perfectly, even people, with the sole exception of the ability to independently make LHWs, so they won't mess with anything that prevents the occurrence of such an individual or that could kill such an individual).
So, Z shows up, erases the moon and 1/3rd of the earth with a casual gesture, gets in a fight with Tenchi, summons the immortal manifestation of the Goddesses' meddling in the third dimension to keep the goddesses occupied (as, after all, they're limited to their third dimensional forms unless they want to blow up the universe, and it can match them as long as they're limited to not using their power because they don't want to kill the LHW users by blowing up the universe), blah blah blah, Tenchi semi-awakens and the galaxy blows up.
In short, there's at least 4 characters of a multiversal level.

Well Tenchi is essentially TOAA of anime/manga until proven otherwise. I believe the Lord of Nightmares, at least that's what I think dante was referring too, is up there.
Yea, the Lord of Nightmares, L-sama, is an infinite sea of chaos with multiple universes emerging from her than she made for fun and is capable of just as easily destroying.
Idk how DBZ even made it here since their best guys are only star busters at the most: and that's giving them at lot more credit than they deserve.
DBZ is an answer for people who don't know the big stuff, pretty much.
Bills has the job of destroying galaxies, but that's not significant to the bigger players in some of the others.
Heck, it's below Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, where you get things like galaxies thrown as shuriken and inexhaustible continually growing energy, and that's not one of the top players either.

Hmm i should take a look at the manga of Tenchi or something.
The manga doesn't have the big stuff- it's mostly side story and normally deals with light hearted and comedic adventures. Tenchi Muyo, btw, is mostly a comedy-harem show, just where almost all the characters are absurdly powerful, but that doesn't get in the way of most of the series focusing on the comedy stuff. Heck, one translation is 'No Need for Tenchi,' Tenchi even though he's the main character isn't so much the focus most of the time as something for the girls to fight over ^^
The OAV series, especially the third one, is where most of the big stuff happens.
Then there's alternate continuities like the Tenchi Universe TV series, where Washu can make a galaxy-destroying cannon, but it is of course a much less powerful setting.
