Note: Despite the fact that the clues appear to be cryptic ones they do not truly and completely follow the rules of cryptic clues. They do have some resemblance to them, though.

Partial Answer, I believe the wall is as follows:


Tyr Shiva Yama Osiris Sirens
Brahma Bifrost Harpies Hades Embla
Centaur Kvasir Thoth? Indra Baldur
Lakshmi Horus Ra Wadjet Medusa

And the groupings are

Norse: Tyr, Bifrost, Kvasir, Embla, Baldur

Greek: Centaur, Harpies Hades, Sirens, Medusa

Hindu: Brahma, Lakshmi, Shiva, Yama, Indra

Egypt: Horus, Thoth, Ra, Osiris, Wadjet

Ha. I (independently) had the exact set, including the same wrong answer and the same doubt about it :-).

@MariaDeleva You don't get there from the clue. You fail to make sense of the clue and go looking for Egyptian protective deities.

Next step

The solutions of the wall lead to

one alphanumeric character per solution.

Putting these

into alphabetical order within each mythology, and then using them as imgur filenames,

we find

the following grids of letters:

Hindu:

ASKGAT

HKEARE

PARVAT

ADOHYD

TISXOX

Norse:

KLAVIR

UNHKIY

UEZGKE

RECEAR

URABRF

NRTRTR

Greek:

KSEIRY

DUGDOM

RHKIMQ

OSUREB

HESTIA

TBESLS

Egyptian:

HEIAIE

SNLGKY

IUAIEJ

VMKAYA

UANNAN

within which we find

Thor (Norse), Freyr (Norse), Skadi (Norse) and Kali (Hindu). (Also Hestia (Latin) and Parvat (name, I think, of a king and city both named for Parvati), but I don't think those are needed here.)

Perhaps

we're now meant to pick Kali, as odd one out? Or, more likely, there's some further step making more use of the grids. (I wondered whether perhaps there would be one horizontal and one vertical name in each grid, with the intersection letters being needed, but it doesn't look like it.)
