We might see more Greek Myth characters though, those are all fair game. well, I don't think that's necessarily true. There are loopholes around these things. They could just have a scene when emma or someone remarks that if there is a Devil, there must be a counter (implying God) but then somebody explains that Lucifer isn't the Devil of the Bible, he's just the "prime diety" or something, who went evil after something happened and is now just evil personified, instead of what he used to be. And Hades said that there are powers of nature beyond even his control. Well, what better villain than one that no power of nature is greater than? Also, the underworld was supposed to be a "middle realm" where people finish their unfinished business. Hell is bellow it, where people spend their time suffering for their sins, or perhaps just because somebody decided to dump their body in the river of lost souls. Heaven, or Mount Olympus, is above everything and is heaven. So the counter to Hell would be Mount Olympus, whereas the underworld doesn't need or have a counter. So, that's one way we could avoid having to deal with seeing the omnipotent.

I'd personally love to see the Devil, especially because we've already seen Nyx, the one being who may be more powerful than the deities. Unless she IS a deity, in which case she is the most powerful we've seen. Which might change if they introduce the Devil. If it's an evil "devil-like" character named Lucifer (the name of the fallen angel in The Bible), it would be based on the Devil in The Bible then, and that would essentially be saying The Bible is fictional. It's not worth it to do that with this show, and piss off a whole bunch of people. Right, that's why I said the Devil might just be an ancient deity who turned evil. He doesn't even have to be called Lucifer, or Satan. He could just be the person they alluded to, the one who controls all aspects of nature, the ones Hades said were beyond him.
