[WP] The protagonist, after achieving god-like powers, attempts to overthrow the narrator. | He peered at the sky.
He widened his eyes.
He squinted.
He looked up in surprise.
"It's not surprised, I'm just squinting and opening my eyes." he said to no one in particular, "no one in particular? I said it to you."
He continued to look at the sky, waiting for a response from the all-mighty.
