you can't beat a truly omnipotent character, you simply have to outsmart them or find an equally powerful being to counter them.. or employ a deus-ex-machina to save the day.. in settings with omnipotent characters a good writer will have these deus-ex-machina laying around.

without any of these plot devices you will lose an end up in a "I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream" scenario or Lovecraftian Horror, two genres in which there is no deus-ex-machina nor other equally omnipotent beings to save the day.. these are the rarest of stories because they are the most depresssing.
