Research into Mythology using ChatGPT for Loki Story

I am researching on the gods and goddess in Chinese , Indian , Norse and Greek mythology for the Loki Story and since I am not fully knowledgeable in their myth and stories, I am using ChatGPT to give me a brief on their names and their job role and ranking order. 

I am not too sure at this point in time , to pick and choose one for each group or to have a Supreme god that they all report to. 

PROMPT : Create a new hierarchy and authority of gods and goddesses using Chinese , Indian, Greek and Norse mythology.

Creating a hierarchy and authority system that combines deities from Chinese, Indian, Greek, and Norse mythology can be a challenging task, as these mythologies have distinct pantheons with their own structures and beliefs. Additionally, the concept of power and authority can differ significantly between these cultures. However, here's a speculative hierarchy that combines some of the most prominent deities from each of these mythological traditions:
 

Supreme Deities:


        Chinese: Jade Emperor (Yu Huang Dadi)
        Indian: Brahman
        Greek: Zeus
        Norse: Odin
 

Deities of Creation and Universal Order:


        Chinese: Pangu (Chinese creation deity)
        Indian: Vishnu (as the preserver of the universe)
        Greek: Chaos (the initial state of existence)
        Norse: Ymir (a giant whose body became the world)

Goddesses of Wisdom and Knowledge:

    Chinese: Guanyin
    Indian: Saraswati
    Greek: Athena
    Norse: Frigg

Warrior Deities:

    Chinese: Erlang Shen
    Indian: Durga
    Greek: Ares
    Norse: Thor

Deities of Death and the Afterlife:

    Chinese: Yan Wang (Yama)
    Indian: Yama
    Greek: Hades
    Norse: Hel

Deities of Nature and Elements:

    Chinese: Xiwangmu (Queen Mother of the West)
    Indian: Agni (fire god)
    Greek: Poseidon (god of the sea)
    Norse: Freyja (goddess of love and nature)

Trickster and Transformation Deities:

    Chinese: Sun Wukong (Monkey King)
    Indian: Krishna
    Greek: Hermes
    Norse: Loki

Deities of Wisdom and Enlightenment:

    Chinese: Laozi
    Indian: Buddha
    Greek: Apollo
    Norse: Bragi

Deities of Love and Beauty:

    Chinese: He Xiangu (one of the Eight Immortals)
    Indian: Lakshmi
    Greek: Aphrodite
    Norse: Freyr 

Guardian and Protector Deities:

    Chinese: Zhong Kui
    Indian: Hanuman
    Greek: Athena (as a protector goddess)
    Norse: Thor (as a protector of gods and humans)

Please note that this is a highly simplified and speculative hierarchy, and it's important to recognize that the beliefs and mythological systems of these cultures are rich and complex, and often, deities serve multifaceted roles. Additionally, the idea of ranking deities by power and authority can be culturally and contextually specific.
