Incoming wall of text! TL;DR Context is important. In this world, the Seneschal is God.

You never beat the senechal. He merely tests you. He says this to you. Yes, you kill Savan as he was, with a few buffs, but you literally watch him create a mirror image of yourself, kill it with his mind, and then recreates a bunch of people you know to have some wierd 'kill your past' metaphor. He could kill you, and with a thought, but that's not what he wants. He wants a successor; someone to take his place. And when you do take his place as a God, you gain the ability to end or return life as you see fit with zero repurcussion, which (while extremely boring) is a rather deific quality.

And he is omnipotent in the context of the worlds he watches over. He's watched you and all other forms of life live and die across whatever world or worlds that fall under his jurisdiction. Despite not knowing how the endless cycle began, he seems to know quite a bit about the world. And as for the 'quelling his boredom' bit, its not about boredom, its about the will to live. He's been dragged about by destiny for what can be assumed to be an unimaginably long time, having left everything he once was behind and doesn't want to keep going; He's tired.

Besides, the 'God' you seem to be refering to is Yahweh (or YHWH), who was only made omnipotent in post. In other religions, Gods tend to only be 'omnipotent' in certain fields, can be killed (albeit under very specific cercumstances and even then, sometimes only for periods of time). To suggest that there is only one way to define a 'God' is, in fact, narrowminded.
