Chuck Norris.

Chuck would whoop both god and the higher power and then start his workout.

....and then the awesomeness that is Jack Bauer would take him down, torture him, find out where the terrorists have taken the nuke and the virus, then kill him - all this with a stub of 2B pencil and while talking on his cellphone getting Curtis to set up a perimeter and Chloe to open a socket to division!

Jack Bauer IS a higher power!

yup.

Slightly more serious answer:

If we were to accept all of your premises, then I would assume that God would try to kill it. The question is then, could he? Unfortunately, unless you make a spate of further assumptions, that question is unanswerable because it's meaningless.

If God and this higher power that was more powerful than God made friends and sat down to have a nice cup of tea and some celestial blue cheese matured in a black hole on some dry biscuits with little bits of black pepper, and then suddenly, there was a flash of light and another even higher power came forth to exist and joined in with their soiree, do you think it would request some olives?

Would it prefer olives stuffed with anchovy paste, or olives stuffed with pimentos?

Why?

Would God, being omnipotent, create some olives stuffed with little Duitch onions and offer those?

Why?

Why wouldn't he create some olives stuffed with caviar for example?

Will the second higher power coming forth in order to exist approve of the decor?

What will it like about the decor? What might it disapprove of and why does it have such baroque tastes?

this is silly, everyone knows that the highest power would want olives stuffed with jalapeños

it's just not worth arguing really. If this were to occur it would mean that God is not God, by the monotheistic definition.
