Nope. You're still not getting it. It doesnt matter how durable a person is, if they get shot by a gun it's gonna pass through their skin. It doesn't matter how fast a human can run, a cheetah will always be faster. It doesnt matter what mind you have, an almighty power will drive you insane without losing your humanity.

'''I get what you're saying and I agree with you. When you transcend humanity, you do become completely different but how different one becomes when gaining godly power is also up to the individual as everyone has a different mindset when it comes to this stuff.'''

Then you don't get what I'm saying. Refer to my analogies above. The problem with improbable hypotheticals like a person gaining almighty powers is that it cannot be tested, and since there's no objective way to determine an outcome, the conclusion is completely arbitrary, so neither of you is right nor wrong about how a human mind would react to gaining almighty powers. That's why the conclusions of this kind of scenario is often left at "It's up to the author."

It's not about how a mind would 'react' to gaining suc powers, it's about how they would process it and use the power that will drive them to insanity. I've already explained this earlier with a simpler power such as immortality. If you go on and on with life as the people you love and care die out and you still can't, it's eventually going to bring you to some sort of insanity. And that's just immortality alone. Now you have access to nigh omnipotence and then you come to see how minute and irrelevant life is because you can easily create the perfect life just by blinking. It's practically like playing Sims here, except you can't stop playing unless you do something like: ". . . push it into my subconscious so I could only use it when necessary. Playing god gets boring fast." -LardWad420

'''And can you please give me an example of impossible questions that are far beyond human knowledge? I really didn't think there would be such thing as a power that puts people in a coma just by asking them impossible questions.'''

...Wut?...

..."Example"?...

...I'll let you think about what you just asked me. You're the one who claimed that there is a power to ask such questions, so the burden lies on your shoulders to provide it when asked. Are you claiming that I can type a question down that will put you in a coma as you try to figure out the answer? Allow me to re-quote the most important part of what I have said.
