AI summary
Makes your raw ability and power scale automatically to overmatch any opposition or obstacle, with no upper limit and adjusted to your desires — barely enough to win if you want the struggle, overwhelming if you do not. Your potency expresses itself along paths of least resistance, favouring capacities you already have, and because it gives you exactly what you need and no more, you never lose the challenge or grow bored. You cannot be killed or permanently removed from play except by freely laying down your life, the power works on metaphorical obstacles like your own fears and weaknesses as readily as literal ones, and its only real limit is that being unconquerable is not the same as being omniscient or omnipotent — you can also share your satisfaction in victory with those you overcome, and may optionally be sent to any world you know of.

Description
By cliffc999 and Subrosian_Smithy By consuming this Essence, there will be no opposition in this world or any other that you cannot overcome if you wish to. Your raw ability and power will scale up to overmatch any conceivable opposition or obstacle, no matter how powerful or numerous, and with no upper limit.
Effects
9This scaling will seamlessly and automatically adjust to fit your desires and needs. Should you wish to enjoy the struggle then you will just barely have the wherewithal to defeat your foe, and should you wish to crush that which opposes you then they shall be brushed aside as if they were cobwebs attempting to withstand a hurricane. You could even allow for the possibility of your defeat… but only if you truly wished to grant your opponent such grace.
Though naturally limitless in every way that matters, your potency will be best expressed through the paths of least resistance. You will find that the capacities you already possess will be quicker to expand in scope, scale, and magnitude than you will be spontaneously make new abilities appear. Although your capacity to learn is also one of the things that you can augment to an arbitrarily high level, so cultivating new skills or knowledges is as easy for you as finding suitable instructional materials or learning experiences, and likewise you can obtain entirely new powers or abilities so long as a possible method of doing so already exists for you to follow and you make the effort to do so.
As this ability gives you exactly what you need/desire and no more, you will never suffer boredom or lack of challenge from possessing this power. The limitless potential you have will never obsolete the simple pleasures of living, and you will never be bored by the battles you face. Even though you could readily find the strength within you to tear the very stars asunder, that will only be an extension of your will to power; you will never face a 'world of cardboard' save to the degree that you might actually want to tear it all to shreds in your own hands.
As the heart of this Essence is to be forever unconquered, you cannot be killed or otherwise permanently removed from the action economy save by your own freely given permission to lay down this mortal coil at last. You will never age, never wither, never weaken, and your will to survive cannot be bypassed or cheated by any surprise or subterfuge. Even if taken entirely unawares you would still find it within you to dodge or withstand even the most devastating blow, the most insidious poison, or the most cleverly hidden trap. Even those who could rewrite time or warp all of reality would find you an untouchable fixed point beyond their manipulations, so long as you willed it so.
This ability functions even against metaphorical obstacles as well as literal ones, such as your own weaknesses or fears. They too can be resisted, or permanently crushed and eliminated, simply by acknowledging their existence and then willing to overcome them.
The only limitations of this power are that while you are Unconquerable, you are not absolutely omnipotent or omniscient. While you cannot be overcome or withstood by any external force, this does not necessarily mean that everything you might possibly attempt will be guaranteed success. You cannot both do a thing and not do that same thing simultaneously… if you perform a cause, then the effect will still occur. You can still potentially be limited by your individual perspective or your available knowledge. You can still potentially make mistakes or be deceived, particularly if you allow yourself to be complacent or sloppy. And while amplifying your perceptions or logical faculties to an arbitrarily high degree might allow you to simulate being able to know the unknowable, but even superhuman senses or inhumanly accurate inference are not the same thing as unlimited knowledge.
Finally, whatever form of pleasure, satisfaction, and happiness you take in your victories, you may freely share at your discretion with those you have overcome. Whether this is merely another form of violence you're capable of inflicting upon others, a guilty pleasure you needn't deny your unwilling subjects the opportunity to experience, or a final self-demonstrating proof of the ecstatic rightness of your rule, is up to you.
At the time you first drink this Essence you will be restored to ideal health and given a one-time appearance upgrade based on your wishes and idealized self-image, with the exact details of your build and "endowments" being up to you. As a special bonus, you receive full control over your fertility and other related buffs.
At the time you first drink this Essence you may optionally choose to be sent to any other world that you know of.
