omnipotence
Absolute divine authority
Omnipotence is unlimited power—the ability to do anything.
The word appears most often in religious contexts, where it describes a divine attribute: the omnipotence of God.
More loosely, omnipotence can describe any seemingly boundless authority or capability: the omnipotence of the surveillance state.
The adjective is omnipotent.
