I must respectfully disagree. Fear keeps us trapped, bound to the lives nature assigns to us. In order to transcend, to rise above the limits that bind us from birth, one must cast aside fear entirely. Fear makes us human, and refusing it makes us so much more.

Humanity is weakness. People are petty, cruel, unambitious. What is there to embrace? Courage? Kindness? Pretty words, of course, but in the end that's all they are- abstract fantasies they use to delude themselves into thinking they're worth anything at all.
Real power requires the strength to reject all of that. To cast off the lies and see the world for what it really is. To transcend, and become more than human. To become a god.
Perhaps your world operates through fanciful magic and fantasy. But mine operates on rational principles. Things like physics, biology, mathematics. "Souls", gods, afterlife- they do not exist.

Casting away one's humanity for the sake of unbridled power...
The exact method you describe to become a 'god' exists in my world as well.
However, what is a human without humanity, ya? What motivation is there to become a god if one must sacrifice that which separates them from monsters, mmm?

Zombies are something not meant to be~ Possessing a sense of death is an important aspect of all things...
Perhaps I'm just talking to myself out loud, yoho~ Old age and all that, mm?

A human's strength is found in not casting aside its humanity, but rather embracing it--and embracing fear itself!
If one wishes for true strength, then one must strength one's soul.

No human nor god should be making such a judgement.
However, regardless of the case, a human casting away his humanity...
That is not the path of true power. Not the path of a god, that is for sure~

Craving power for the sake of power...
That is not a path one should follow. No, no.

I am committed to the pursuit of power. And I always will be.
