98. Nordic women vs Greek women
What should you pay attention to when facing the 'God of Death' as your enemy?
The answer is 'instant death'.

Gods related to death are the nemesis of all living things. As symbols of gods who bring death to life, they naturally have various tricks related to "instant death".

Athena will use the Death Curse in battle - this was actually something that the magicians around Shirou had warned him about during the tactical discussion before the battle.

Shirou himself does not have any ability to directly counter the 'Death Curse' type.

Although the military god Veleslana's 'Tenfold Incarnation' has a resurrection-type incarnation power like [Aries] that can restrain the curse of death, Shirou does not know how to use it.

This was not determined, but after the Fuyuki Incident, Toosaka Rin, with the authorization and cooperation of Veleslana, created the "Tenfold Incarnation Magic" based on the Tenfold Incarnation.

In order to complete this technique, Toosaka Rin added many "restrictions" - when you want to create a technique that is too powerful and the caster cannot effectively control it, you can reduce the difficulty of weaving the technique by imposing "restrictions".

The principle is just like writing a novel.

In a novel, if a character's ability is too powerful, in order to allow the story to develop better, various restrictions must be imposed on his ability so that he will not be so powerful that he will destroy the worldview of the story.

In the Eastern magic and mystical system of thought, this is also called "the way of man is to take from the deficient in order to give to the abundant."

The principle is basically like this. Magicians certainly don't want to weaken their own magic, but when they actually weave magic, they are always limited by insufficient funds, insufficient funds, insufficient funds in all aspects, and insufficient funds in various senses, so they can only compromise and use tricks.

The biggest limitation of this technique that Toosaka Rin gave herself is that she cannot use it herself, it can only be used by Emiya Shirou.

Without such a strict restriction, even if Veleslana agreed, Toosaka Rin would not be able to complete this mythical realm - in essence, it is already a ritual in the 'magic realm' (Note: The magic here does not refer to the 'five great magics'. Type-Moon now distinguishes 'magic-level rituals' from 'five great magics', and the five great magics are special cases)

Shirou spent ten years studying, but in the end he only learned three incarnation techniques that were most suitable for him.

The embodiment of the sun - light and heat [White Horse]

The embodiment of wisdom——Warrior of the Golden Sword

And the incarnation of the [Goat] who can control "Lightning" - the reason why Shirou was able to complete this incarnation ritual was because Shirou successfully completed the "Indra's Arrow" during the Fuyuki Incident, which can be regarded as a "reward" for achieving this great feat.

Veleslana and Indra are considered to be the same character with different names in Persia and India, and the goat incarnation, as the manifestation of Veleslana's thunder and lightning power, is closest to Indra.

Because the incarnation of [Boy] is too abstract, too magical, and too mystical, although Shirou is adaptable, he has not been able to learn it over the years until he completed it not long ago when he saved Ritsuka.

The other six incarnations, [Spiritual Wind], [Bull], [Camel], [Wild Boar], [Eagle], and [Aries], have no connection with the current Shirou, so Shirou has been in the awkward situation of "being able to learn, but not being able to learn".

However, if you want to deal with "death", you don't have to use the power of resurrection.

In many mythological systems, the setting and rising of the sun are often described as the "death and resurrection of the sun". Therefore, the sun fire incarnated by the [White Horse] is itself a fatal blow that can cause a "restraint" effect on Athena, the goddess of the underworld!

This is also the reason why Shirou mentioned several times before 'Erlang Shen' came to help, "Even if the creation of the divine mask fails, I have the means to deal with Athena."

The combination of the golden sword and the white horse is actually enough to restrain Athena.

But Othinus said, "Don't underestimate that battle-crazed goddess. In terms of her passion for battle, she may even be better than Ares, the god of war. After Ares became Mars (the god of war in Roman mythology), he became more rational in this regard. But after Athena merged with Minerva (the goddess of wisdom in Roman mythology), she became even crazier."

For a battle maniac, facing unfavorable situations in battle and encountering opponents who restrain her - she has long been accustomed to these.

When the golden sword came out for the first time, Athena might be surprised that Shirou actually controlled the power of Veleslana, but with her wisdom, the goddess would immediately think that Shirou must still be able to use [White Horse], and then she would always be on guard.

but.

During the combat meeting, Shirou's team discussed various possible ways for Athena to use the Death Curse, but they did not expect that in actual combat, Athena would actually use a "forced kiss"!
What no one expected was that Shirou's weakness to forced kisses from women seemed to have really become a 'weakness' in some metaphysical sense!

The way Athena used the 'Curse of Death' was to mix it into her own saliva and inject it directly into Shirou's body like snake venom!
The God of Wisdom and the God of Conspiracy and Intrigue are of the same origin!
Women, poison and conspiracy. Not only in Greek mythology, but also in various myths around the world, heroes often fall and even die.

For example, Hercules, Achilles, Jason, etc.

The insidious thing about Athena's combo is that she actually skipped the 'battle' and directly 'took' Shirou's soul as her own, and then declared victory.

It can only be said that although Athena is the god of war, she is also the god of wisdom, so for her, "battle" is not only about head-on combat, but also about "wits duel" of conspiracy and intrigue. Perhaps there is also the love aspect, and battle excitement in various senses.

Othinus kept provoking Athena, trying to make her lose control of her emotions and make mistakes, but now it seems that this may have had the opposite effect.

This made Othinus a little puzzled: Why did Athena value Shirou so much? They just met suddenly and temporarily, right? Even if Athena liked heroes, it shouldn't be to such an outrageous degree, right?

--but!
Even at this point, although Shirou lost the "battle of wits" with Athena, Athena - did not win either.

To be precise, it is 'not completely won'!
Why?

Maybe many people are about to forget it, but Shirou has never forgotten it. A long time ago - at the very beginning of the story of "Shirou Emiya Does Not Die from Demon Repair", Shirou obtained the 'bottom line measure'.

That is a 'guaranteed mechanism without a guaranteed bottom line'.

Smoke Mirror gave his holy relic to Shirou.

Although it is called a holy relic, the mirror is not a simple treasure or a treasure, but an existence equivalent to the "Smoke Mirror" and is a branch of the Smoke Mirror.

A unilateral blessing and contract belonging to the Smoking Mirror.

Once Shirou dies, the Smoke Mirror will pull Shirou's soul into the Smoke Mirror's realm 'just before Shirou's true and complete death' - that is the kingdom of the Smoke Mirror, and also the underworld 'Mictlan' in Mayan mythology.

In Mayan mythology, because the world has been destroyed by many different major disasters, there are a total of four creator gods.

Quetzalcoatl is one of them and is the second creator god.

The Smoky Mirror is the first creator god in Mayan mythology - and also the 'destroyer god' who has destroyed the world many times.

The power of creation and the power of destruction, the smoke mirror that has the power to create everything and destroy everything is the concept of magicians - 'Almighty God'.

However, the smoke screen that was supposed to be the perfect omnipotent god encountered an accident during the first creation in Mayan mythology.

He lost his right leg.

There should be no flaws in the Almighty God who is supposed to be perfect, but when flaws appear, then the Almighty God has a flaw.

The final result is that the smoke mirror is always in a state of superposition of possibilities of "can do everything" and "can do nothing".

He can do anything well, but after he has done it, something unexpected always happens, causing his success to go to waste.

He was never stingy with rewards, but those who received the rewards would suffer misfortunes that were like punishment afterwards, and it eventually became a situation where "income" and "effort" offset each other, with the overall score being 50-50.

Perhaps because of this, Smoke Mirror also became the 'God of Business', and the act of seeking protection from Smoke Mirror gradually evolved into 'trading with Smoke Mirror'.

Life and death?
That kind of thing - smoke mirrors can certainly be traded, easily!
Just have to 'pay enough'.

Of course, you don’t have to pay the price, Smoke Mirror won’t care - but afterwards, even if Smoke Mirror himself doesn’t do anything, the torrent of misfortune will swallow you up.

Over time, Smoke Mirror was also regarded as the "God of Warriors", because all warriors who were favored by Smoke Mirror could obtain the ability of "infinite resurrection and then fight until complete death".

The essence of this ability is actually to go to the Kingdom of God in the Smoke Mirror - to play the "Resurrection Game".

This is not metaphorical, but literal.

It is believed that in the duel sacrificial rituals of truly powerful warriors, the combatants will experience multiple deaths, escape from the underworld several times, be resurrected, and then continue to fight until they die completely and are reincarnated as butterflies.

"But I'm not a devil."

The girl-like Smoke Mirror sat by the bonfire, propping her chin with both hands and looking at Shirou with her head tilted:
"I will give different contents of the 'revival match' to different people. For masters who are not good at fighting, you can also exchange them with the master's authority. For a versatile person like you, if I directly specify the 'content of the revival match', I am afraid that both you and I will suffer the punishment of 'unfortunate'."

The girl-like Smoke Mirror said:

"That's why I have to 'roll the dice' like I am doing now. I am the embodiment of the concept of 'fate is unpredictable', so the act of 'deciding how fate will develop' by myself will go against my nature - even I will be punished."

The girl-like Smoke Mirror suddenly raised her right leg - and the prosthesis fell to the ground.

"This is the 'price' of resolutely splitting the era of chaos and creating a new era in which humans can survive."

Smoke Mirror casually put the prosthesis back on.

"Well, for me, it's just a missing leg, so it doesn't really affect my daily activities. It just means I can't defeat Quetzalcoatl in a head-on fight."

The content of Shirou's 'revival match' has been confirmed.

Perhaps because Shirou has been fighting as a "craftsman", the dice did not choose to let Shirou literally "fight a resurrection match" in the Mayan underworld.

Instead, he asked Shirou to trade with Smoke Mirror in the way of a 'swordsmith'.

The price of making a 'Zanpakutō' for the Smoke Mirror is this.
(Wait, the options of 'Forge a sword for the smoke mirror' and 'Forge a Zanpakutō for the smoke mirror' are separate)

Shirou pondered.

What this means is that the condition for the former's resurrection match is to 'forge a knife that satisfies Smoke Mirror'.

The latter is.
Shirou: "!"

There are two materials needed to make a Zanpakutō for someone. One is the blood of the dragon demon - with the ability of the Smoke Mirror, it should be possible to create a substitute.

The second one is - a part of the other person's soul.

In other words.

Shirou must forge a part of the 'soul' of the Creator God Smoke Mirror into a weapon!

The first 'Forge the Knife' option has a difficulty level of 'Satisfy the Smoky Mirror', which can be very low or very high, depending on the situation.

But the second 'Forged Zanpakuto' is different!

The difficulty lies in the forging itself!

Using the soul of the smoke mirror as material?

As long as Smoke Mirror allowed it, and even actively cooperated, the difficulty was well-deserved. Forging top-level "mythical weapons" - no! "Myths" and the like, you can also find ways to reduce the difficulty by looking for various different versions.

This should be the 'divine weapon'!
Shirou remembered what Miss Gamesh had once told him about the 'three elements for creating a divine weapon'.

This opportunity came so suddenly!

——But Shirou doesn't want it at all!

The situation over there is so urgent now!
Shirou quickly asked the girl in front of him, "What about time? What's the difference between the speed of time in the underworld and the speed of time over there?"

"No difference."

Smoky Mirrors Shrug:

"If no matter how long it takes for you here, it will only take a moment for you there - this kind of setting is as convenient as a spiritual time chamber,

Although I'm not unable to do it.

But in this case, the transaction price of "resurrecting" you is not equal.

With your talent and my cooperation, as long as time is long enough, you should be able to forge it, right?
Therefore, the real test of your resurrection match is actually 'how long your companions can support you'. "

Shirou: "."

think!
Think hard!
Is there any way to 'reduce the difficulty'?

[Forging a Zanpakutō for the Smoke Mirror, in other words, using the Smoke Mirror's soul as material to create a 'divine weapon']

[The real test of Shirou's resurrection match is 'time', how long can his companions hold out! ]

[Is there any way to reduce the difficulty——]

[Shirou's 'knowledge of occult science' is being tested]

[Difficulty: 90 (Since this is an area Shirou is not good at, the difficulty has increased)]

[Shirou's 'Mysticism (Try your best! Think hard!)': 1D100=94]

——I thought of it
In the small occult class where Shirou was beaten by Toosaka Rin and said, "You're training to death like this! No, you have to come to class! Just listen to my tutoring and consider it a break!", Toosaka Rin once introduced the content related to the smoke mirror.

There is so much smoke and mirrors related content.

Especially after entering modern and contemporary times, the myths about this thing have increased instead of decreased, and have continued to grow in "COC" and "Warhammer", resulting in a lot of chaotic content.

Although most of the time he is considered the 'villain' in mythology.

But because of the recent incidents in Central and South America where people mistook the invading white colonists for the "Quetzalcoatl" and were massacred, the Smoking Mirrors are sometimes considered to be "decent" - in short, it's all chaos.

But Shirou remembered——

Shirou remembered that among the various mythological traditions of the Smoke Mirror, there existed a version of the 'Strongest Smoke Mirror'.

According to general legend, there are four solar eras in Mayan mythology, each with four creator gods:
The first solar era is a smoke screen
The second solar era is Quetzalcoatl
The third solar era is the era of rain and fire.
The fourth solar era is the Jade Skirt
But in the version of 'The Strongest Smoke Mirror', there is a saying of 'Four-color Smoke Mirror', that is to say - the four creator gods are actually Smoke Mirrors, the incarnations of Smoke Mirror, and different sides of Smoke Mirror!

There are actually a lot of different opinions out there, so don’t get too hung up on the details.

That is to say-

Shirou said solemnly, "The result of the dice selection is to forge a Zanpakutō for the Smoke Mirror - but it didn't say which Smoke Mirror it was for!"

The girl-like Smoke Mirror tilted her head: "Ah, you mean that Quetzalcoatl is also considered Smoke Mirror according to the rules, and then Toosaka Rin is also considered Quetzalcoatl according to the rules. You have already made a Zanpakutō for Toosaka Rin - rounding it off, do you want to say that you have already made a Zanpakutō for Smoke Mirror?"

Shirou: "."

In fact, Shirou just wanted to think whether he could get Quetzalcoatl, with whom he had a good relationship, to help and increase the success rate, and he didn't think too much about it.

Smoke Mirror denied it, "But the rules don't say how many you have to make. Even if you have made them for other Smoke Mirrors before, now, according to the terms of the deal, you must make another one for Smoke Mirror."

Shirou: ". I want to say, since we are building a Zanpakutō for the Smoke Mirror, we must have the cooperation of the Smoke Mirror - can we call another one? For example, Quetzalcoatl."

Smoke Mirror rejected it directly: "Forget about Quetzal. She will just go crazy and make trouble if she sees me. However, I can contact my other 'sister' for you——"

Smoke Mirror paused and said, "Another 'Smoke Mirror' who has a relatively good relationship with me. Of course, whether she is willing to help depends on whether your charm is enough to attract her."

Shirou: "." Why does it sound like this 'Smoke Mirror' is not the name of a specific god, but more like the name of a group like 'Smoke Mirror Family'?
So, in front of Shirou, Smoky Mirror pulled out a smartphone from his pocket.

Then he started to make a phone call. While waiting for the call to be connected, he said to Shirou, "Wait a minute. Tlaloc has been addicted to time-killing games like Civilization recently. If you're unlucky, I may not be able to get through."

Shirou: "."

Although it has long been known, because the Smoke Mirror is still active in the modern world even after the end of the mythological era, the Smoke Mirror will appear more "trendy" as a deity -

But this is too weird, right?
[Smoke Mirror attempts to contact Tlaloc for help. Considering the characteristics of Smoke Mirror, the chances of success or failure are 50-50.]

[Difficulty: 50]

[Smoke Mirror's 'Luck': 1D100=64]

Danger after danger!

The moment the call was connected, a mysterious light suddenly flashed beside the campfire where Shirou and the smoke mirror were, and a girl appeared immediately - and a computer also appeared.

The younger sister of Smoke Mirror, the third in the Smoke Mirror family, and the third creator god in Mayan mythology - Tlaloc, the Lord of Rain and Fire.

Speaking of the smoke mirror, it’s okay, but doesn’t your outfit seem a little too modern, Tlaloc?
Shirou leaned over to take a look.

I found her building a house in the game "Minecraft", a particularly large city, and she looked very serious and absorbed in it.

I don't know if I can get her help. Smoke Mirror flicked her forehead hard, interrupting her game'work' - it seems that in this way, the information about the current situation was directly input into the mind of God Tlaloc.

After understanding the current situation, Tlaloc tactfully changed into clothes of a more correct style.

".I see. I now roughly understand the situation—"

[Is Tlaloc (Blue Smoke Mirror) willing to help Shirou pass the 'Resurrection Tournament'? ]

[Attitude requirement: 50 (Shirou's personality is in line with the preferences of the Smoke Mirror Clan, so the difficulty requirement is reduced)]

[If you pass, Tlaloc will help you forge your Zanpakutō and get additional corrections]

[After understanding the whole story, Tlaloc's "attitude" towards Shirou: 1D100=97 (?)]

Tlaloc nodded: "I understand. After all, I am also a Smoke Mirror. In other words, as long as the boy helps me forge a Zanpakutō-"

Tlaloc suddenly felt an unknown murderous intent!
Subconsciously, I glanced at the smiling 'brother' next to me. Oh, no, for a super life form like Smoke Mirror, gender and personality can be fabricated at will. Should I call her 'sister' now?

Then, Tlaloc—

(As for my sister, anything can lead to success or failure—so I also have the possibility of winning by surprise!)

Without hesitation, he dodged! His figure instantly disappeared from the spot and appeared beside Smoke Mirror, kicking Smoke Mirror's head. This posture and strength clearly showed that he was going to kick Smoke Mirror's head like a ball!

(As long as I kill him, the boy's soul will be mine! I will take over the resurrection match later!)
That’s right! This is the answer that Tlaloc came up with after hearing his sister’s words of “helping Shirou reduce the difficulty of forging his Zanpakutō”!

According to the rules, Tlaloc is also considered a Smoke Mirror, so the difficulty of forging a Zanpakutō for her is definitely lower than forging a Smoke Mirror.

That is to say-

"The best way to help the boy is to kill his sister! Right!"

[(Great Success Reward Plot↓)]

【Tlaloc launches a sneak attack on the Smoky Mirror! 】

[Trying to snatch Shirou's 'deal' from the Smoke Mirror and change the resurrection match to forging a Zanpakutō for her - because the probability of success or failure of the Smoke Mirror is always 50-50, Tlaloc might actually succeed here!]

[If Tlaloc succeeds, then Shirou's subsequent 'Forging Zanpakutō' will be easier]

[Tlaloc's 'Sneak Attack! (Snatch the boy away)': 1D100=74]

[Smoke Mirror's 'Response! (Playing with Shirou)': 1D100=100]

Tlaloc: “!?”

But Tlaloc's sneak attack failed. She was grabbed by the calf by the Smoke Mirror, and then right in front of Shirou, she was German-styled and thrown into the ground with her head facing down by the Smoke Mirror!
Complete defeat!

".I see."

Tlaloc raised his hand tremblingly:

"That is to say, as long as I help you forge the Soul Blade for my sister, you will be my priest and will forge accessories for me for the rest of your life. Right?"

"Don't say things like 'for a lifetime' so easily. You're just a little god. Do you have the ability to shoulder the fate of that person for his entire life? You still look calm on the outside, but inside you have a personality like a runaway motorcycle - you only have yourself in your mind."

Smoke Mirror kicked her in the butt expressionlessly.

Then he pulled it out with an OmO expression on her face.

"Let's start." said Smoke Mirror.

[Additional judgment——]

[How many rounds will the other side have to survive before Shirou can complete the 'revival match'? ]

[Because of Tlaloc's help, the judgment changes from 1D10 to 1D5]

[Number of rounds required: 1D5=4]

【Four rounds! 】

"and many more."

Tlaloc, who had just been pulled out of the ground with a dusty face, raised his other hand:

"In order to increase your chances, young man, you should first come and replenish your magic with me. Right?"

Smoke Mirror punched her on the back of the head!

☆

at the same time.

Athena was extremely annoyed.

Because they knew that it was Smoke Mirror who "robbed the person", they knew that Shirou's soul must be in the opponent's kingdom of God (the underworld) fighting for the resurrection match.

in other words--

"Next time! When Shirou is resurrected, I won't be caught off guard by a surprise attack!"

Athena was so angry that she lifted up Shirou's body with her divine power and put it into the 'egg'!
Because of Shirou's attack with his sword, Athena actually did not have enough time to complete the hatching of her 'Dragon God Body', and the transformation of her spiritual body was only less than half completed, so she looked like a little girl.

This is also an opportunity to catch Shirou off guard, right? Could it be that Shirou really has a weakness of "being kissed forcefully"?
"Until then, I will take these women's souls - as hostages!"

Then, in the absence of Shirou, Athena's sight——

He simply ignored Caster and Aku Hinako on the ground.

Naturally, he headed in the direction where Ritsuka's scent was!

"A strange smell. Let's start from there."

However, on the current battlefield, Shirou's team has a new combat force that they had never expected before!
"Goddess—the loli goddess over there! Look over here!"

Taking over Olgamari's body, Illya rushed to the front of the battlefield alone amid Olgamari's panicked wailing!

She was holding high in her hand a weapon that looked like a samurai sword - no!

"See? This is a Zanpakutō! It's made from souls, and it's an extension of the soul! Just holding this is equivalent to having the minimum characteristics of a Shinigami!

This was made for me by Shirou himself! He had close physical contact with me in order to make this thing!

Do you have it? What? Loli old lady goddess, you don’t have it? That’s a pity! ——Hey~ Look at what this is~”

[Illya used 'Taunt' on Athena! ]

[Illya's 'taunt': 1D100=59]

[Athena's 'Resistance': 1D100=3]

Although, although Illya used Olgamari’s body to make a mocking sound like a female devil, and although Olgamari’s consciousness was so desperate and ashamed that she wanted to dig a hole to bury herself——

Athena: "What the f*ck is wrong with you all? Do you think it's useful to stimulate me from this angle?!"

——But the effect is unexpectedly good!

The loli old lady goddess was so angry that she cursed! Her whole image seemed to be about to explode!

Olga Marie’s consciousness was about to cry—oh no, it was already crying.

"What, what, what should I do?"

"Don't worry," Illya said, "I am also one of the 'chosen children'. Back then I had no fighting ability and could only stand in the back and charge my magic battery, but - after that, ten years have passed!

In these ten years! As Shirou's sister, I have never stopped practicing!"

[Additional judgment, the results of Illya's training in the past ten years]

[If it exceeds 75, it is determined that Illya has learned 'Bankai' (after all, there is a ten-year training period, so it is reasonable to reduce the difficulty a little)]

[Illya's 'Training (Surpass Rin! Replace!)': 1D100=97 (!?)]

——The Zanpakutō in Illya’s hand burst into a dazzling white light!
"Swastika!"

Bankai.

The gesture of the Zanpakutō unleashing its true power is also proof that the soul can communicate with its own origin.

Illya spent ten years studying hard, learning martial arts from Father Kotomine, and practicing magic with the goal of defeating Toosaka Rin, taking her place beside Shirou, and replacing her sister with her!

In the end, just as Toosaka Rin completed the 'Bankai: Years Killing God White Emperor' based on her origin as the 'Venus Goddess', although it took a lot longer, Illya also completed her own Bankai ritual!

The origin of the Einzbern family's long-cherished wish came from an accident.

They were originally auxiliary androids created by magicians and their disciples, but one day, a special android was suddenly born.

She was the true 'ancestor' of the subsequent androids of the Einzbern family. Since her, all Einzbern androids have been imitations of her.

The Holy Maiden of Winter - Justisa.

She has characteristics that are difficult to be "artificially" created.

Although he is an artificial human, he is not a man-made product, but the result of an accidental convergence of fate. He is fatherless and motherless, born and created by nature, pure - a 'natural baby'.

Having received the "blessing" of the world itself, in the mythological era, such beings would often naturally be upgraded to natural gods.

The ice and snow of the German land bestowed blessings on Einzbern. 'Nature's baby, the Snow Elf'

However, under normal circumstances, subsequent Einzbern androids are considered consumables, and almost no one can survive to develop this characteristic.

But this Illya is an exception.

Not only did she survive until she was nineteen, but because of her Zanpakutō training, she had been intentionally developing in this direction.

Finally, she touched the name of the goddess who blessed Einzbern - the goddess who blessed the Winter Saint Justisia!

It is——'Freya'

The goddess of love and beauty in Norse mythology
In the modern Internet environment, the most famous "legend" about her is nothing more than something like "male gods, just as Loki later accused Freya of being promiscuous, had all had physical relationships with Freya." - that is, the so-called "Bus Goddess".

However, the logic of this sentence is problematic and is often overlooked. It comes from "ABC of Norse Mythology" written by Mao Dun, but this book is only used for introduction rather than verification.

There is no such detailed description of Freya in Norse mythology.

Contrary to the abuse of many people and various modern cultural works, the records of Freya in the existing Norse mythology are actually scarce and vague.

The words that "prove" she is the "bus" goddess actually come from the speech of Loki, the god of trickery, in the "Old Edda" where he angrily scolds the gods. The reliability of the words is very low, because Loki's words are not directed at Freya alone, nor just at Freya alone, but are a super map cannon.

However, because the records about Freya are too few and too vague, and there are many contradictions, Loki's map cannon speech unexpectedly became one of the rare "relatively detailed and positive descriptions of Freya", and thus became the content of Freya's "self-introduction" in "ABC of Norse Mythology".

It can be described as an innocent monster in the modern sense.

What is the real Freya like?

Very complicated.

Because of her name - she is often confused with Frigga, the Queen of Heaven in Norse mythology.

If Freya is Frigga, don't forget that Frigga also has a bunch of messy identities, and she is often regarded as the "female Odin".

Moreover, during the process of Christianization, Freya's name was often used by missionaries as "Virgin Mary". You can imagine the problems involved.

In some places, Freya is considered an independent goddess, but in the Germanic region, she is often considered to be the Queen of Heaven Frigga. In addition, she has at least nine other names. Some scholars believe that these are actually Freya's identities in different periods.

Her identity is ambiguous, vague, and changeable; this is Freya's characteristic.

It is said that Freya's tears will turn into red gold.

Among Freya's many identities, the one most closely related to "snow" is the goddess of winter in Norse mythology. Sometimes she is also considered to be "her (Freya's) mother."

Because she loves hunting, she is also called the 'Snowshoe Goddess'.

On the other side, in the Celtics, her name would also be associated with Scathach, Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows, the master of Cu Chulainn, the Son of Light of Ireland.

That's right.

'Freya the Snow', the goddess of nature who blessed the Saint of Winter, as the Einzbern family's artificial human 'Snow Elf', is named -

——Skadi=Scathach!
Illyasviel's Bankai imitates the effect of Toosaka Rin's Bankai, which is to temporarily transform herself into a goddess.

Get Skadi's blessing and get Scathach's power!
Illya's Bankai!

"——Bing Li Tianjie!"

Scarlet-gold tears fell from the sky, enveloping Illya’s——Olga Marie’s——body!
Athena was not afraid of the light, or perhaps she was so angry that she didn't care about anything else. She waved the Sword of Athena and charged straight in!
However, Illya transformed into a snow spirit, transforming the surrounding environment into a Germanic blizzard - fearlessly, she also swung her sword to meet the attack!

"Until Shirou comes back——I will be your opponent!"

[There are still four rounds until Shirou completes the 'Smoke Mirror Zanpakutō Forging']

at the same time.

Othinus was also beginning to nervously perform surgery on Ritsuka Fujimaru to transform him into a sub-servant!
After all, although Illya's Bankai seems very powerful in the description, the opponent is no pushover either.

Illya only borrowed the power of Freya (Skadi and Scathach) to transform into a snow elf, but Athena did it herself. Although her body could not be completely transformed into the form of the 'Earth Dragon Mother' as she wished, she had already become a deity.

The persons are not of the same order in every sense.

Othinus knew very well that the original Athena who had returned was of such ancient and noble status that she could even catch up with the level of the "God King". Even if she was far from returning to her peak, she was not something that ordinary people could deal with.

To put it bluntly - although Illya has a cheat, Athena's cheat is obviously stronger!
Before Shirou returns, the Disobedient Athena can only be dealt with by the remaining people. If Ritsuka can complete the sub-servant transformation surgery and gain the power of an archer, then he will be able to hold on until Shirou returns!
Custer transformed into human form again and headed towards Ryudo Temple with Aku Hinako.
