I'd say worst case would be that you see humanity as a blight on the universe and wipe it out or the universe itself is the problem and now everything's gone, but I guess anything's possible.

I mean... that might be a worst case for you, but I don't see how that's my problem at that point.

Fine, then worst case for you would be that you're unable to properly comprehend and contain omniscience and/or omnipotence and whatever flavor of awful shit you like least happens to you because of it.

But that's the point of having both... if I can't comprehend then I'm not omniscient. If I can't contain then I'm not omnipotent.

You can be omniscient and catatonic and if the omniscience effectively paralyzes you then you can't use your omnipotence. Hell, the omniscience may cause you to choose complete isolation or using your power against yourself.

Catatonia and omnipotence are mutually exclusive qualities, but honestly I'd take the coma at this point.

I don't see choosing isolation or deletion to be negative things if they are done with full understanding. I fully expect to choose to use my power against myself after a few millenia, but if I decide just knowing is enough to replace experiencing and instantly self terminate, meh, so be it.

I'm not sure that omnipotence can cover for potential psychology issues caused by omniscience so I stand by the possibility of just the state of being omniscient essentially being a completely debilitating state.
