There might be any number of things beyond our understanding and imagination. But life is short; don't waste time cowering in fear of what might be. Find out if there really are such things, if you like. But pragmatically, withhold believing in them until there's reason to do so. Certainly don't prostrate yourself in worship of them - even if they exist, worship has to be earned.

For that matter each uber-being above us could each have an uber-being above it ad infinitum. The fact that an ant defines us as the uber-most, absolute god makes no difference to whether or not there are any.
In a world of hypothetical uber-beings, no one can say which is the omega.
