Alan Dean Foster has written at least one full-length novel trilogy in this genre.

TVTropes has a trope 'Humans Are Bastards' which might overlap a bit.

This is pretty difficult to search for.

Edit - There's a link to the 'Humans Are Cthulhu' trope that may be a better fit.

Edit - please disregard this post

Yeah, the description of "the ultimate power" is basically humans as Cthulhu.
