That's satanism in a nutshell. Works for a time maybe but ultimately leads to ruin for all who've attempted it. It's basically a theft.
Employing the tools of creation that have been graciously laud at our feet is a fine and intelligent thing to do however, until you try to own them and kick out the one who lent them to you in the first place..!
You'll have your reward, but it might be short lived.

None of the ancient classical philosophies supports the idea that such a thing could exist, so there is no reason to believe it, or he, or whatever, exists.
There are people now who mouth the words, thinking it is "faith" to do so, but are intellectually naïve.

Interesting concept. It means pretty much anyone can become an "Almighty God". So there could be more than one. What if two "Almighty Gods" meet and want different things?

You're not god.
OK, can you quote or cite an ancient (before the Middle Ages) text that says so?
I think the idea of an "Almighty God" is ancient.
If you do not know the reason - it is because you DO know, you just decided not to hold that information in your mind for the moment (and for whatever purpose THAT may serve).

I would like to see that!

If you do not know the reason, it's because you are NOT Almighty God. To say that you really do know, but just decided not to hold that information in your mind is called denial, delusion and self deception. In other words, it's an excuse for having no idea what you're talking about and trying to create a fantasy in your own mind.
It is a delusion that you think it's a delusion. People do stuff subconsciously all the time without consciously understanding "why".

Pointing out that people do things without knowing why they do them is just another reason for why they are NOT Almighty God. God is all knowing.

What makes you think you have unlimited power?
The fact that reality is happening. The only time I suffer is when I oppose it and that is because it is me fighting against myself. All existence is the manifestation of The True Will.

You are correct that all existence is the manifestation of the The True Will, however, that true will belongs to God and not you. That' why you suffer when you oppose it. You don't suffer for opposing yourself. Once again, that wouldn't make any sense.
It is a realization. A change in self-perception.
Anything, since the one is real, and the other not.
I just went over this earlier today on another thread.
