I agree with Holokami on this. However I would like to add that regardless of whether one eventually achieves either personal mastery or self-supremacy both will inevitably change oneself (although whether the change is for the better or worse is largely dependent on who, at the very core of your being, you are). If you are a good (or even decent) person at your core than either of powers could end up being benign, at least at first. But if you allow your new-found power to go to your head than it will corrupt you and once that process begins than it is very difficult to stop (assuming one a: acknowledges it’s happening and b: tries to reform ones thinking before the corruption reaches their very core). Of course there are a very nearly infinite number of variables that could also come into play but few are as significant as who one truly is. Call me a reductionist for thinking so but I speak from personal experience. I can't claim to have obtained either self supremacy or personal mastery and quite frankly I'm not sure either one would be worth the price of either acquisition, attainment, and/or mastery (which despite the grandiose implications of both powers would still be a step above either or both). If one has one or both abilities that means little until one learns first to control it and then, over time, mastering it. Once one truly masters such a power as these one is essentially unstoppable. After all while knowledge is powerful mastery is yet more so (at least 20 fold so). I for one am glad that only one of these abilities is a possibility IRL because if both were than they would presented themselves together. and with both powers fully mastered one would essentially become a living god (and we have enough demagogues already)
