Based on the hints, and Wallbreaker5th’s answer, it seems like it might be
sudo rm ~ --no-preserve-root.
Explanation:
‘I let you become super, It is not permanent though.’ ⤳
sudodoes exactly this.
‘If you remove a home,’ ⤳
rm ~removes home.
‘You won't need to preserve.’ ⤳
--no-preserve-root, the start of which is in the hints.
sudo rm ~ --no-preserve-rootis a somewhat odd command. Perhaps the answer is the more commonsudo rm -rf / --no-preserve-root?

Answer:
sudo rm -rf --no-preserve-root /

sudo does this very thing
If you remove a home, You won't need to preserve.
the "--no" hint combined with "preserve" is referring to "--no-preserve-root", which overrides the rm default behavior of treating "/" specially with regard to recursion (the "-r"). If you use rm with these flags you'll delete all files below /, which is to say all files in the file system.
