unlimited power
Total unchecked dominion
Unlimited power is authority or capability without restrictions or boundaries.
The phrase appears in political contexts—a ruler with unlimited power faces no checks on their actions—and in popular culture, where it often carries dramatic or ironic overtones: Unlimited power!
In practical use, unlimited power is usually theoretical; real power encounters limits from circumstance, opposition, or human capacity.
