the perfection of God is not conditional to anything external to Himself

God is perfect ,always was and always will be. His perfection does not come from us serving Him, our perfection comes from serving Him. All things exist by Him and Him alone, He was perfect before anything was created, so what could He lose if nothing existed?

God is perfection, He needs no one and nothing to exist.
Or in a Metaphysical way, God is energy. Energy cannot be destroyed or created only transformed.

God is God.
Your question reminds me of Augustine's Confessions. The part that is set off from the rest, below.
Its a good book. You should read it somtime, you can get it online. (But I suggest you go get the book at a library or buy it to make sure its a new translation in modern English).
"What, therefore, is my God? What, I ask, but the Lord God? "For who is Lord but the Lord himself, or who is God besides our God?" Most high, most excellent, most potent, most omnipotent; most merciful and most just; most secret and most truly present; most beautiful and most strong; stable, yet not supported; unchangeable, yet changing all things; never new, never old; making all things new, yet bringing old age upon the proud, and they know it not; always working, ever at rest; gathering, yet needing nothing; sustaining, pervading, and protecting; creating, nourishing, and developing; seeking, and yet possessing all things. Thou dost love, but without passion; art jealous, yet free from care; dost repent without remorse; art angry, yet remainest serene. Thou changest thy ways, leaving thy plans unchanged; thou recoverest what thou hast never really lost. Thou art never in need but still thou dost rejoice at thy gains; art never greedy, yet demandest dividends. Men pay more than is required so that thou dost become a debtor; yet who can possess anything at all which is not already thine?
Thou owest men nothing, yet payest out to them as if in debt to thy creature, and when thou dost cancel debts thou losest nothing thereby.
Yet, O my God, my life, my holy Joy, what is this that I have said? What can any man say when he speaks of thee? But woe to them that keep silence--since even those who say most are dumb."
