This is a hypothetical question and doesnt represent my beliefs so bear with me and please just answer the question and try not to say how much of an idiot I am or tell me I am going to Hell.
What if there is more then one God? As in, what if our God is the diety of our universe, but what if there are more "Gods" out there ruling their own universe? Also, what if our God is one of the weaker of his race, there are way more powerful dieties out there?

You are thinking out of the box, that's good. There could be more or there could be none. You can believe in one or more it just depends on what you have to believe or what you want to believe in. Just don't push it onto people.

If there was more than one God, then the Christian God is a liar, for He said, "Thus says the Lord, the King of Israel, and his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts: 'I am the First and I am the Last; besides Me there is no God.' "
There are no indications of the other scenarios you mentioned, so there is no point in pursuing them. However, there is abundant evidence of the one God, so we will pursue Him.
***Is there any way to prove God exists?
The Christian God was very careful to prove Himself when He had the Bible written. It is different from every other book. In it He predicts the future. No other book does this with accuracy. God names names, dates and places so we can check out history and see that He was right. He even gave us the very words someone would say centuries before the fact!
If you were God and you wanted to communicate through a book, you would put things in there only a God could know, such as the future. If you wanted everyone to know that you were going to come in person, you would explain what you were like so you would be recognized. You would put in the city of your birth, where you grew up, what kinds of deeds you would do, your temperament, your purpose, even how you would die.
God did all that in the Old Testament. It was all in book form 400 years before Jesus, the Son of God, came. The New Testament gospels follow Jesus and point out some of the places where He fulfilled the prophecies.
“Daniel 11, written in the 6th century B.C., gives an amazingly thorough account of Alexander’s Grecian kingdom, divided first into four competing factions after his death. It predicts details of the struggle between the Ptolemy and Seleucid empires for a period of 160 years, right down to the advent of the Roman Empire. That is why the skeptics used to claim that the book of Daniel could not have been written before 164 B.C., but now we have proof of a much earlier writing text.
“The prophet Isaiah (44:28) gave the name of a king not yet born and of a kingdom not yet instituted and of an event that would not take place for another 150 years. He predicted that a king named Cyrus would commission the rebuilding of the temple in Jerusalem. Cyrus did come to the throne in Persia, and in the first year of his reign in 538, he issued a decree that the temple in Jerusalem should be rebuilt. (See 2 Chronicles 36:22-Ezra 1:1-3. This prophecy described in the Bible is confirmed by the discovery of a Babylonian inscription.)
“Daniel actually gave the time when Christ would come into the world and die. Daniel (9:24) predicted that Messiah would be cut off (die) 483 Hebrew years after the issuing of the Persian decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem. Artaxerxes Longimanus issued that decree on March 5, 444 B.C. (Neh. 2:1-8), granting the Jews permission to rebuild Jerusalem’s city walls. This, too, is confirmed by archeological discoveries. Four hundred eighty-three prophetic years (360 days to a year) and seven days later, Jesus was crucified as predicted, How could a prophet accurately predict the date of Messiah’s death hundreds of years before it took place, unless he was the ‘voice’ of God as he claimed?”
Thanks to the Dead Sea Scrolls found at Qumran, we know with certainty the above prophecies date before the occurrence of actual prophesied events.
He has proven His existence perfectly and wonderfully. The Christian God is the true God.

While we are all embedded in the same multi-dimensional (hyperdimension) reality responsive to consciousness, our divine ideal - the truth about us or the 'full aliveness' we each long to experience - is unique to every person. A few thousand years ago we sought this personal vision of the divine by praying to different deities. Then we worshipped one god but with a bicameral mind that heard voices. Now most people into religion know that they are after an internal experience (like strong feelings of 'being saved' etc.) but don't understand the physical and psychological dynamics of the experience.
So in a manner of speaking we each worship a separate ideal in our little dimension and if we transcend it by changing our mind (even for a moment) we shift into another dimensional experience. If the physicists are right about 11 dimensions, the number of possible "reality shifts" that are possible would be limited. That is yet to be determined.

There is only ONE God bbut since it's hypotiical........
Well let's say the Christian God is the "deity" and the other pagan (pagan as in more than one gods i.e. Hindu etc) were the "minor" gods or "other ruling gods". It could be in that way.
Now let's say the Christian God was like Zues, The rular of the gods so .... I could go all day with this but I hoped this helped

I like to use the Hindu example. You can address your attention to one Aspect of The One. Different "faces" for different needs.

If there is more than one god, then someone is number 2. Would number two still be God?
We do not follow God because he is all-powerful, we follow him because he is good.

Not that I believe in what r u saying but for the sake of arguing. There would battles long before our time and the strongest, most wise and best God wins then. It would be Christ. Walk with him in life and u'll see life and wat's beyond it.

There are thousands of gods, and no more evidence for the existence of one than for any other.
