A long time ago when I was a kid, I was really into fantasy books and went through them left and right. For some reason there is this one story that I can only remember a single detail about that keeps popping up and I really would like to find out what it is and re-read it!

I am trying to piece some of the details and I know it's not much to go on, but basically the fact I remember was that these three(maybe more or less) people with no relation were given powers and when they all came together the power merged and gave them the ability to create and destroy the entire universe.

I think the story was basically told from 3 separate perspectives (of the different individuals) and were completely different, but at the end somehow they all tied together and when they merged/met they thought as one individual and was granted some insane universe creating power.

I know this isn't much to go on but does anyone have any remote idea what I am talking about?

  Hi, welcome to SF&F! This is a pretty good start, but there are probably still a few details you can edit into your question. For example, approximately what years would this be? We don't know when you were a kid. Check out the other suggestions in case they help you recall anything else.

  Sturgeon wrote some yarns about unrelated people with paranormal powers combining to form a super-being. I don't recall anything about creating/destroying universes, but maybe that's because I couldn't finish reading the stories.

Sounds like The Gods Themselves by Asimov. There is a parallel universe, where the inhabitants live in triplets, which merge to form a single being.

I think you may be remembering different books in Michael Moorcock's Eternal Champion universe.

In one novel, "The King of the Swords", three aspects of the eternal champion, Elric, Corum and Erekosë, linked together to form "The Three Who Are One".

In another novel, "The Quest for Tanelorn", the three are joined by Hawkmoon to form "The Four Who Are One", a being that had "insane universe creating power". That story is told from Hawkmoon's perspective. In the Elric novel "The Sailor on the Seas of Fate", we see the same story from Elric's view.

Although I think @Dima may be on to something, I'll give an alternative, the instances where several incarnations of Michael Moorcock's Eternal Champion perform a mystical merger like this. Moorcock liked the device so much he used it twice.

In The Sailor on the Seas of Fate, Elric of Melniboné, Prince Corum Jhaelen Irsei, Dorian Hawkmoon, and Erekosë

join into the Four in One, a single cosmic being with four faces, to defeat the sorcerers Agak and Gagak who have assumed the forms of giant city-sized machines, in order to suck the Universe dry of energy. They use the scary power thus gained to restore swaths of the Universe destroyed by Agak and Gagak.

In The Vanishing Tower, Elric, Corum, and Erekosë

become the Three in One to defeat the tower's master Voilodion Ghagnasdiak, and take McGuffins from the tower that are later fired like Chekhov's pistols.
