Hmmm I remember a film I saw years ago called Dark Crystal (some of you
have probably seen it) where there were two ancient races, each with
about a dozen survivors left, and each of these creatures were somehow
linked to a member of the other race, so that if any of them died, so
would one of the other race.
Suppose you coded something like that, were you couldn't kill the
anti-God (at least without killing God, which He wouldn't let you do),
but instead imprison it or something similar. Perhaps killing the
anti-God would only be a temporary thing, severely weakening God until
the anti-God could come back.
This might be interesting.
