* Omnipresence becomes a key issue in the ''ComicBook/{{Lucifer}}'' in the second half of the title. [[{{God}} Yahweh]]'s mind is literally every where in the universe, between every atom, and his will sustains everything. This is also one of the key reasons [[TheOmniscient that he knows everything.]] When Yahweh withdraws from the universe to try and create something he does not know the universe no longer exist because Yahweh's omnipresent will is not there to sustain it.
* The [[AnthropomorphicPersonifications abstract beings like Eternity and Death]] from Creator/MarvelComics exist wherever their concept exist. In Eternity's case, he is everywhere in the universe or more specifically time. They can create multiple copies of themselves if need by, but rarely choose to act on a strictly physical level.

* In ''[[https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/my-random-fiction-bits-and-pieces.480427/page-6?post=38910796#post-38910796 Insect Outside]]'', Taylor died when Winslow caught fire and her shard saved her by spreading her mind throughout every arthropod in the world. As this includes even the tiny mites living on people's skin, she's functionally everywhere in the world at once. Come the [[https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/my-random-fiction-bits-and-pieces.480427/page-6?post=38910961#post-38910961 epilogue]], she's figured out interdimensional travel and spends a month of normal time[[labelnote:*]]Due to the sheer number of neurons in her "brain", Taylor initially experiences times over six thousand times faster than everyone else. This number only increases over time[[/labelnote]] seeding the multiverse with herself. As far as Cauldron can tell, "Hive" is functionally in full control of the biosphere of every planet in the multiverse capable of sustaining life.

* ''Fanfic/DragonballZLegacies'': Orthros isn't bound by the laws of space-time and has no limitations for where or ''when'' she can go. Not only can she freely travel to every [[AnotherDimension dimension]], [[AlternateUniverse universe]], and [[AlternateTimeline timeline]] in existence, but she can also jump to any time period with perfect accuracy. Even one's thoughts and dreams aren't safe from her reach. This allows her to be "everywhere and nowhere" at the same time, effectively making her [[TheOmniscient omniscient]] as she already knows ''exactly'' what will happen in the future, as well as the results of any alternate futures caused by ForWantOfANail.

* ''TabletopGame/InNomine'': David, the Archangel of Stone, is functionally this in the corporeal realm. It's mentioned this is one of the reasons he's among the most feared of the Archangels to demons. Other words have areas where they don't reach or that are antithetical to them, but if you piss off the servitors of David -- where can you hide from ''the ground?''

* The opening chapter of ''Literature/{{Confessions}}'' is an interrogation of how {{God}} can be everywhere at once. The narrator hurts his head wondering whether He is in more places than others, and whether He is contained by or contains the universe. The closest thing to a direct answer he gets is that "in filling all things, you fill them all with the whole of yourself."

* Some of the supernatural beings on occasion showcase the power to manifest multiple version of themselves at the same time in different places. [[{{Satan}} Mephisto]] in the Franchise/SpiderMan comic ''ComicBook/OneMoreDay'' has a conversation with both Peter Parker and Mary Jane at the same time in different locations with one Mephisto disappearing when the two finally meet. From ComicBook/TheMightyThor, [[MotherNature Gaea, the Earth goddess]] is discovered to have an ongoing/nonsuffering manifestation in {{Hell}} since Hell in a metaphysical sense is part of Earth. After ComicBook/FearItself, [[TopGod Odin, king of Asgard]] appears to [[ComicBook/IronMan Tony Stark]] and when Stark says Odin should be at Thor's funeral Odin states he is there as well while talking with Stark.

* On the ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'', Death is everywhere at once, though we only see him when narrative causality requires it. The best example would be ''Literature/WyrdSisters'', where he is simultaneously looking at where [[spoiler:King Felmet]] jumped off and waiting for him at the base of the cliff.

However, while this is true in one sense, there is another sense in which he's mostly only in one place at a time, and generally has to use [[CoolHorse Binky]] to get there.

Obvious Beta is YMMV. Cleanup: (re)moving wick from trope/work example lists


* Shows up as a glitch in the [[ObviousBeta notoriously broken]] ''VideoGame/BigRigsOverTheRoadRacing''. When you drive backwards, the game lets you accelerate far beyond the limits of sanity and even past the speed of light. If you reach 12.3 undecillion miles per hour (that's 123 with 35 zeros), the game registers that as your vehicle being ''everywhere at once''--including every checkpoint and the finish line. At which point, the game [[AWinnerIsYou declares you won the race]].

* [[AnthropomorphicPersonification The Endless]] from ''ComicBook/TheSandman'' can appear whenever their domain is invoked. The best example is Death, who personally retrieves every person who dies. In one story, she becomes mortal to experience mortal life for a single day only to die, meet herself, and while in two different bodies have a conversation about life.
