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.



Connect wall



A list of the clues (as they appear on the connect-wall):



A cruel and oppresive ruler loses his ant and rules the war. (3) (G)

Small knife with a tail is called the destroyer. (5) (X)

Consent to your mom leads death. (4) (x)

Operational system and eye part lead to afterlife. (6) (h)

Perplexing singers without gravity are beautiful but deadly. (6) (f)



A confused son of Noah stuck to a woman's apparel, he is the creator of all. (6) (A)

A rainbow bridge is frozen twice. (7) (f)

Headless letter desserts don't exist but fly and kill.(7) (p)

Lack of light, with head at the bottom, strangely that also describes my habitat. (5) (0)

The first woman makes a stroll with head and feet reversed. (5) (1)



A horseman gives a coin glued to bottomless ambience. (7) (f)

Rye beer-like doesn't end. What follows is a headless noble man. He is the wisest of all beings. (6) (X)

Thomas Hardy is burning on the inside. After all, he is a leading figure of writing and knowledge. (5) (B)

A siphon, split into two, then glued together the wrong way becomes the king of heaven. (5) (D)

Less hair is ruler of light. (6) (0)



Baby's food mixed with remains of fire is a good fortune deity. (7) (M)

Beheaded group of singers is a leader of falcons. (5) (F)

God of sun is at the end of Earth. (2) (R)

Small objects pressed together at an airplane will protect you. (6) (b)

Petrifying in more than one way, I am entertained, which is messed up. (6) (2)

          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

          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.)

            • @GarethMcCaughan - how do you even get there? From the clue?

            • All the words and groupings are correct now :)

            • @Sconibulus I have the next step. If you do too, I'll keep off your toes; otherwise I'll post it. Let me know.

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

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

            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.)
