Omnipotence Defeated
I have had a few debates of my own recently involving Omnipotence. There are debates online that have created this definition of Omnipotence that basically surpasses its definition (the irony here…). In other words, Omnipotence isn’t Omnipotence, unless it’s the “defined” Omnipotence? I would question doesn’t the realm of Definition still surpass Omnipotence? I mean, in order for you to be aware of Omnipotence, decree what “true” Omnipotence is, and basically debate against or for Omnipotence and what isn’t Omnipotence, a definition is required?
It’s understandable that lower dimensionals want to maintain the notion that Omnipotence is tier 0 – the highest pinnacle of status. However, if one were to label it a limit, then it instantly gets attacked because that goes “against” what Omnipotence is. The satire here and the fallacy here of itself start to attack Omnipotence, and weaken it. Now, you once again create a logical definition for an illogical status. And when Omnipotence doesn’t meet your standard of perfection, you simply shrug it off as not the correct Omnipotence.
If Omnipotence is looked at as a power, then it gets attacked. If one gains omnipotence, then it’s not true Omnipotence, because it shouldn’t be something that can be gained? That’s another debate. While I agree that it shouldn’t be looked at as a power, there are definitions of Omnipotence that state that it means have infinite power. One could easily make this mistake. However, do these definitions specify how much infinite power it has? Does it elaborate on the levels?
I’ve seen Omnipotence classified as everything that I defined and created and more, and was wondering where this definition of Omnipotence is? This is similar to the God of Christian faith, where if new concepts are created, greater than it, there are those that simply add-on to what it already is in order to maintain its perfection.
I’ve seen the debate that real Omnipotence doesn’t exist because true Omnipotence would have power over real life and since no Omnipotent entity has such power, there is no Omnipotent. If they cannot go against another work of fiction, they are bound to their own work. Once again, a definition and a limit have been applied to Omnipotence. Ironically, I’ve yet to see such an official definition, outside of my own works. Then true Omnipotence is limited to copyrights. Omnipotence gains so many limitations and definitions, which also fall into the realm of Perspective. But what is real life? How do we not know our world is a fictional tale within the comic book of another dimension? What if one creates “real life” in their work of fiction (I see the irony here) and has Omnipotence over said dimension, why doesn’t the rule still apply?
There are so many factors in discussing Omnipotence. Nothing I’ve said is new. However, if it doesn’t fit one’s definition, then it’s not true Omnipotence. While so many give it a definition, and then state it is beyond definition – like it’s somehow beyond information (yet information about it exists), they call it illogical in respect or logical to a metaphysical extent; they still end up creating a limit for it themselves. But there are so few that actually try to see it from the realm of an Omnipotent entity, and how they would see said realm. The moment you say there is more than one, you’re like it cannot be real Omnipotence. Maybe their definition of one is different than ours? Maybe ALL that we define is something very small to them, which should be. Maybe they have their own version of zenith that is higher than what we call Omnipotence.
Ultimately, while there are various definitions of Omnipotence, even from the perspective of what is accepted, I do not see why it’s scaled the same in every fictional realm, where different realms encompass different scopes. It’s literally saying this entity can do this without any feats or backing that can confirm it, and surpass an entity that does have the feats that shows it's outright superior because they have the same status. That’s asinine.

You can have a being, which is, for all intents and purposes, omnipotent in the 3rd dimension, but even the weakest 4th dimensional being could destroy it.
When people say you can't have omnipotent characters be beaten, they mean omnipotence in the sense that they surpass everything, at any analogue completely, and the most important part: Nothing is above them. If we call this true omnipotence, then the only truly omnipotent character you have written is Xeranthemum.
