For Pascal Wager’s specific scenario, I’d probably ask Omega “Really? Either God doesn’t exist or everything the Catholics say is correct? Even the self-contradicting stuff?” And of course, he’d decline to answer and fly away.
The point is that in the least convenient world for you, Omega would say whatever it is that you would need to hear to not slip away. I don’t know what that is. Nobody but you do. If it is about eternal damnation for you, then you’ve hopefully found your holy grail, and as some other poster pointed out, why this is the holy grail for you can be quite interesting to dig into as well.
The point raised, as I see it, is just to make your stance on Pascal’s wager contend against the strongest possible ideas.

The least convenient world is one where Omega answers his objections. The least convenient possible world is one where Omega answers his objections in a way that’s actually possible. And it may not be possible for Omega to answer some objections.
