"*Both of them are practically unstoppable. A cheap, lightweight top built by them could be used as an unstoppable weapon by the lower class.*"
―Lindsay Kellerman[src]
Nigh-Omnipotence is the power to be *virtually* all-powerful. A defining ability of Nigh-Omnipotence is apotheosis, the power to use the abilities of transcendent beings. That said, the user existed in a state of being free from the constraints of the material world, as in the case of a deity or other beings that can or have overcome the limitations of physical existence and also be or become independent of it.

## Overview

"*Morality of Nigh-Omnipotence is absolutely freer than most, if not all, insane abilities. That's where Hollywood always gets it wrong. Any morality is possible as long as the ability is flawed omnipotence.*"
―Sebiscuits Cardarphen[src]
The user wields supreme power, but they have some form of weakness or limitation that limits their power and prevents them from gaining true omnipotence. They may be absolute on specific fields or may simply be able to achieve an almost infinite number of effects across all fields with their near-omnipotent skills. Despite being limited, the user still possesses an unimaginable level of power fully at their will. Depending on the source of mystical might, all of the power the user possesses may or may not backfire or drive them insane.

Nigh-Omnipotence has various types. Some users are created outright with it and can innately learn their powers like breathing. Some users are bestowed with it and require extra training to know fully about it. Some users may be fused with it and just need to realize what their power is, and some users gain this by certain supernatural means and can master this with ease.

Nigh-Omnipotence and Omnipotence are almost similar in every way. Difference between them is: One is the state of being all-powerful and the other is the state of nearly unlimited power.

It ranges from the lowest level to the highest level: some users can do anything but are limited to certain dimensional or temporal areas; other users are absolutely invincible, immortal, invulnerable and have no weaknesses but they cannot do something in a particular way, have limited powers or cannot affect something. No matter how powerful the user is, they will always be limited to certain things.

While the user isn't truly omnipotent, they still possess many high-end abilities including but not limited to absolute power over force, psionics, will, and the ability to bend numerous Multiversal branches or warp reality itself. A user of apotheosis is physically and mentally beyond essentially all forms of harm or other ways to influence them (outside of other beings of similar status, superior beings or some specific concepts, per the case of Odin of the Gods and Nebelon of the Carrion Glade), and gained powers that were supernatural to outside viewers. While they could enter into the material universe, becoming immanent, their true being was outside existence and thus both independent and outside of everything that happened to their manifested/avatar form.

As they were able to perceive existence in a completely different and transcendent way, they could achieve things that were beyond the understanding of lesser beings, for example, Lindsay Kellerman mentioned that a children's toy built by them could be used as a dangerous, and unstoppable weapon by the lower races.

Although Apotheosis may make the user seem invincible and all-powerful, being transcendent may not mean the user is perfect, and they may have specific limitations to the concept of their existence and universe. They could still be slain by someone who has unlimited access to weaponry or controls the essence of death itself, though no such beings are known to exist. They may also be bound to their word/oaths/promises, such as Nebelon. The user can achieve unimaginable effects and can possess almost unlimited power.

In short, the user is almost all-powerful and nearly invincible.

## Known users

As King of Asgard and God of Wisdom, Odin was the most powerful God of all others able to easily overpower almost anything in creation. He even brought down the otherwise unstoppable Nebelon, who had put up a good fight due to being transcendent herself, gaining such power from the Carrion Glade.

The Ilo is an primordial, inter-dimensional entity who wields apocalyptic levels of supernatural power and is the ruler of the Enchanted Dimension. He is succeeded by the Ielish, who inherits most of his powers.

Charlie Corner was a powerful entity with control over matter.
