Would there even be multiple beings, or would only the One Will exist?

If there were multiple, they would be undistinguishable. Being omniscient, they know the same things. Since thinking is just memory, then all those beings will think the same, because tehy have the same memories (which are all possible memories). So now that they think the same, they will act the same. And how can you seperate 2 beings that think the same? They might BE the same. For example, here i am now, in my humanly form. You know it is me. If I put on a chicken costume, i am still me, because i think and act the same even though i now have a new appearance.

No. As an individual you live in your own time-space and consciousness progress's accordingly. If they willed exactly the same thing at the same time, they are not individuals. If they are equally just and wise and have knowledge of each other, then they may subscribe to an agreed upon universal law, but the definition for 'individual' must stand for 'a thing in its self' or it is a thing of mass production of an other Will. Having a Will of ones own means doing something different at some time, but on occasion co-operating; necessity for survival and sentience; The Will is positive, the Judgment is negative.

Good question.
The answer is in your question itself.
If a being is omnipotent, omniscient then that being is infinite in nature.
And there cannot be two infinite.
Can any one tell infinite is one or many?
Infinite is infinite.
It is neither one nor many.
Omni means Undefined cause we call it unlimited or all.
So coming to your doubt Omnipotent beings are neither one nor many.

Maybe it would depend on what religions they belonged to. Apart from that, there is one will, quite evident - the will of the complex universe including the Earth on which we depend for life. And it's not talking. And we're not listening.

If that was the case, their would be a battle of the wills and a lot of *hit would hit the fan.
