If worshipping them doesn't cause them to exist, I'll worship one that isn't much effort, maybe one of the minor gods?
Prometheus.
A. I have job security since I am not going to lie and say I was wrong. Sure the work isn't great but it beats unemployment. Besides it's simple enough. Push the boulder up a hill.
B. Everything humanity does is due to my actions. Prometheus opened up a ticket about 80k years ago pointing out that humans need fire and asking me to do the needful. Everything the teaming 10 billions of humans have done since that point is only possible because of me. All of tech all of art all of culture every meal you have ever eaten, every nail you have ever hammered, ever shit post you have ever clicked submit on was MADE IN MY IMAGE
C. The myth of Satan probably is related to the myth of Prometheus, and I have always wanted to try to pull off an evil goatee.

I don't know my Greek mythology that well, but my instinct is Aphrodite. She wouldn't want her champion to be ugly, so she would make me beautiful (but not as beautiful as her).
Hephaestus or Athena by career, but my heart belongs to Artemis.
