It is hard to conceive of each omni being a separate part of God. But our limited minds can only focus, it seems, on one at a time, to discover the meaning. God does not have attributes but is His attributes. Each attribute is identical to His essence and thus are necessary to Him and unchangeable. Even thinking about this grinds my mind. It is so far different than anything I could ever conceive of. It way out of my orbit. This is how Great God is. His existence is identical to His essence.
"Divine simplicity denies any physical or metaphysical composition in the divine being. This means God is the divine nature itself and has no accidents (properties that are not necessary) accruing to his nature. There are no real divisions or distinctions in this nature. Thus, the entirety of God is whatever is attributed to him. Divine simplicity is the hallmark of God’s utter transcendence of all else, ensuring the divine nature to be beyond the reach of ordinary categories and distinctions, or at least their ordinary application. Simplicity in this way confers a unique ontological status that many philosophers find highly peculiar."

You are correct. Every image or analogy will fall short so it's important to emphasize the simplicity of God as found in Scripture and affirmed in creeds such as the Belgic Confession (1561), which begins with the declaration “that there is a single and simple spiritual being, whom we call God.”

Gods attributes are indivisible.
God is indivisible. We cannot separate His attributes as if they were individual puzzle pieces coming together to form a whole.
