^ Darkseid and Yoda can both melt your face off without laying a finger on you as well. Please give more details about Hanzako before I vote.
Currently, I'm inclined to vote for Yoda, because Kagato is a loser, Darkseid would get sliced up into little pieces, and I know nothing of Hanzanko(I think his name is dumb.).

Strictly speaking, Kagato isn't limited by his mortality eithe: in the manga he's come back to life once or twice, and he's exceedingly difficult to kill. He doesn't need the Souja to have a ton of power, it's just convenient to have a battle arena in which you're almost God.
In terms of pure power this has to go to Darkseid. He can slug it out with Superman and literally kill you by staring at you - speaking very literally. He holds the power of life and death behind his eyes.
In terms of experience it has to go to Yoda - through introspection he has as much mental power and experience as Darkseid (the REAL one, the MONSTER GOD, not the one you see on Justice League), and he's got so much foresight going he could probably call every move that every other person here would make.
In terms of unpredictability it's Hazanko - because we have no idea about how he can actually fight. We know he goes down in one shot to a Caster shot, and it won't kill him (probably because it's TAO MAGIC) - but beyond that we have no idea how he fights unless we see an egocentric projection like unto the Leylines. Until then we can only guess his abilities based on the other Tao masters.
Last is Kagato - what does he have going for him? Pure, simple, unadulterated knowledge. He is not as powerful as Darkseid, as experienced as Yoda, or as unpredictable as Hazanko..but he also has the ability, through whatever combination of magic and technology is at his disposable, to know basically everything about his opponent if information on them is available anywhere. If we're pretending that all these people come to the same universe, Kagato will be able to know everything about all of his enemies in a matter of seconds, and beyond that his specific powers and abilities (he couldn't slug it out with Ryoko and come out on top without being Captain Bad-ass, and that's not getting into what he did in the manga) would be enough to probably net him a victory. The only person who would stand a chance against him would be Yoda.
Yeah, I give it to Kagato.
