Simplest answer - give the superconsciousness a character.
You've mentioned this could be the deity that created the other gods. If that deity is still around, this could be straightforward - if not it could be represented as a spirit, an administrator (I like Cyn's employee / company idea), or something as abstract as an instruction manual - the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy in "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" was a fine character.
Introducing dialogue - internal or external - between individual gods and the superconsciousness would establish them as separate characters. This could be done even if we were looking at an instruction manual ("I'm not sure I agree with what it says on page 7"), but could also work nicely as a more interactive dialogue.
Having rules for the gods sets up the premise, but there's a lot of room for character development in how these rules are enforced (or not).
