You are God

Well, not really.

But let's pretend for a moment that you are.

Here's the hypothetical scenario:

So this one day you're bored and have nothing better to do so you go on NSG and scroll through the threads. You find one titled "You are God". Curious, you click on it. After all, it's about time somebody acknowledged your omnipotence.

Anyway, a brief second after clicking the thread's link, a localized space-time quantum continuum suddenly opens up, sucking you in before promptly closing. The continuum peels apart your mortal flesh, leaving you as nothing more than a floating blob of energy. After having finished screaming because of the excruciating pain, you realize that you aren't just any floating blob of energy, you're an omnipotent floating blob of energy. You have somehow transcended into an all-powerful being of pure energy. For all intended purposes, you are now God.

But there's a slight catch.

As the continuum spits you back into the temporal world (or wherever you were prior to being sucked in), you realize you're slowly fading away. Unfortunately, the energy you are now composed of is unstable, and you're dying. That said, for whatever reason, you still happen to be omnipotent. You'd think that being an omnipotent being would mean that you can just make the energy stabilize, but it can't. Why? I dunno, your cat told you so. It's a very smart cat, I once saw him do advanced arithmetics. I'd trust his judgment.

And yes, it's a he.

What do you mean you don't have a cat? He's obviously right in front of you, sitting on your keyboard. Sheesh, you'd think an omnipotent being would be smart enough to remember they had a cat.

Anyway, where was I? Oh right, omnipotence.

So you're God, but you're dying. Sucks right? Fortunately, your cat has pointed out that you can make one last wish before you die, because he's a genie. And no, you can't wish to not die, or for a second wish. Why can't you just make the wish without the cat-genie-thingamajig's help since you are after all God? I don't know, stop asking questions!

You get one wish, which will be fulfilled no matter what, since even genie-cats obey God. Your wish can be anything, except for more wishes, or to not die. I think I already said that...

Anyway, you should hurry up and make that wish, time's running out. The question is though, what will that wish be?

Unfortunately, you'd still be dead.

So you're a dead god with god powers.

I would probably wish to be my old self again. I'm pretty content this way, and I can live a normal lifespan.

OP is a cruel OP.

He instructs his flying genie-cat-thingamajig to deny your wish for more wishes.

I would say, "I wish to be the victor." And then I'll see where that takes me.

But wouldn't you then have used your sole wish, and your ability to wish for more wishes would be useless?

True, true, after all that is not dead which can eternal lie. And with strange aeons even death may die.
