Right, I get that this has been done a few times, but before you straight up close this, at least give it a read.

Omnipotence is the the top. The absolute pinnacle that cannot be reached, and certainly cannot be shared, at least not in any way or logic that we can comprehend. Omnipotence is having no restrictions and limitations except those that come from within, and even those can be shrugged off the moment the user no longer wants those limitations.

Omnipotence is not universal reality warping. It is not multiversal reality warping. It is not hyperversal reality warping. It is not omniversal reality warping. It is having absolute and complete power over everything and anything, without limit, restriction or boundaries.

This is not the "monotheistic omnipotence". This is literally what omnipotence is.

I'll break it down for you

"Omni"  "potence"

Latin for "All" and "Power"

We get that? I'll say it again.

"ALL"

"POWER"

An omnipotent being, has ALL power. And when a being has "ALL" power, it cannot be shared. Multiple beings cannot have "All" power. The very idea of a race of omnipotent beings is the absolute height of ridiculousness.

Now, Alien X has infinite power. Sure. I can accept that. Dude created an entire 4-D space-time, so by 3-D standards he does indeed have infinite power.

But infinite power does not equal "all" power.

I'll explain.

In maths there is this thing called Alephs, which refers to multiple infinities. For example, the set of all even numbers is less than the set of all numbers. But they are still both infinite sets. Same thing with the set of all prime numbers. Because numbers can go up infinitely, any continuous set of numbers is itself an infinite set.

So there are degrees of infinity. One infinity can be smaller than another.

But one omnipotence cannot be smaller than another. There can't even be two omnipotents to begin with. If being X is more omnipotent than being Y, then being Y was never omnipotent in the first place, because there can be nothing greater than omnipotence, because omnipotence is ALL POWER

Celestialsapiens are a race of very powerful reality warpers, I will happily admit that.

But saying they are omnipotent?

Seriously?

Author statement of omnipotence do not make a being omnipotent, because authors generally fail to take into account what omnipotence really is. Otherwise we would have characters who are only able to affect the planet as omnipotents.

Celestialsapiens can be harmed, can be damaged, and can be fought. They fight against themselves, and they have limitations that are more than just "two personalities need to agree". They fight amongst themselves, and they can take damage when they don't want to take damage. Ben's judgement by the rest of the celestialsapians proves that. And the idea that anything could happen to an omnipotent that they do not want to happen, goes completely against omnipotence.

I hope I've enlightened people on the nature of omnipotence and how Alien X and the celestialsapians cannot be omnipotent.

And I hope this doesn't just get closed first thing by a bunch of Alien X fanboys.
