It would at least give the "nigh-omnipotent" side a reasonable argument. It is easy to say why Alien X isn't omnipotent, he has a weakness. Being All powerful means no weakness(other then mental restrictions) before I would have agreed, but now just being on a planet can kill a celestialsapien. I understand you may think omnipotents could have a weakness but they don't, none physical atleast. Where as someone like thanos from marvel had powers close to omnipotent(Reality Warping, Space Time Manipulation etc...) but was only considered nigh-omnipotent because his power(even though it looked limited) still had some sort of limit, and he also had physical weaknessess. Being Omnipotent means NOTHING can kill you or even damage you unless you allow it to. I mean you can have a large amount of reality warping powers etc.. and still not be considered omnipotent because you can still be negated by a single force, a force above all others. If there is a race of omnipotents it defeats the purpose, his decisions aren't final he isn't "god" if something else can revert it, omnipotence means your word is literally the word of god and nobody can say otherwise, but if there is another omnipotent, then he can just negate everything and it's pointless. You aren't omnipotent if you can't do something and make it permanent unless YOU desire so. You aren't all powerful if someone else can undo something you did. By defenition there can only be one omnipotent, just like by defenition a unstoppable force and an imovable object cannot co-exsist.
