Morphology
The meaning 'a deity with unlimited power' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'almighty' (possessing absolute power) with 'being' (an individual entity). This is a straightforward adjective + noun composition that follows normal English semantics and is cross-linguistically accessible, so a B1 learner who knows both words would readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Almighty being may come from putting together all (meaning 'everything') and mighty (meaning 'very powerful'). The image is of a being whose power reaches everything, so it means a 'god' with 'unlimited power'.
