While Nayuta tells her accepting it is a like a death sentence, she understand her daughter still wants it because she's feels guilty about making others fight.

Odin is shocked to see Reiri's immense power with her divinity numbers worth 960,000, to the point it pompts her to feel unusually excited for meeting a worthy opponent in her lifetimeAccording to her own experience and point of view, Odin couldn’t recognize one person's existence because of the fact that said opponent is "too weak" despite hearing their voices and even seeing their shadowy figure. Reiri's appearance however changes everything.. To Odin's surprise, Fafnir is destroyed by Reiri within a flash that surprises almost everyone, especially Zel and Grace who are both dumbfounded yet amazed by her power. Even after losing Fafnir, Odin instead smirks as she concludes that only the strong prevails and thus strengthen her resolve to defeat Reiri.
Odin draws out her Gungnir According to the analysis from to Ataraxia operators, her own experience and point of view, Odin couldn’t recognize one person's existence because of the fact that said opponent is "too weak" despite hearing their voices and even seeing their shadowy figure.

Reiri dashes towards Odin so she can defeat her with one blow. Odin, however, not only emerges from the debris unscratched, she thrusts Gungnir at Reiri from a far distance. Consequently, Reiri is stabbed by Gungnir to her heartIn reality, Reiri narrowly dodging Gungnir's attack with split seconds. The only reason why that spear hits her is because the effect and Gungnir's power is actually reversed, making this kind of attack be anything but predictable. Not helping matters is the fact that Odin attacks Reiri with Gungnir for the second time, all to ensure her victory. According to Odin herself, Gungnir's attack is so powerful and fast that nobody is able to see it coming. and she is attacked by Gungnir's second attack before she could even respond, leading her allies to assume that she is "killed". To the surprises from everyone especially Odin however, Reiri miraculously survives as she blocks Gungnir's attack and break it into pieces with Zecros's sword Zecros's unique properties was designed by Nayuta herself as both weapons and shield are functioned to protect Reiri from danger. Reiri however shrugged it as she deems her "overprotective"..In spite of her confusion and shock to see Reiri's feat however, Odin finds her opponent "interesting" and their duel continues when the two dash towards each other and fight. During their clash, Gungnir blocks Reiri's attacks and its' thrust damages Zecros's shield to the point the latter begins to crack. Reiri however remains calm and instead brandishes her sword and swings it down diagonally that cut off Gungnir's remaining parts and eventually Odin's both armsAccording to Reiri's observation, while the arms looks like Odin's flesh and blood externally, they don't drop a single blood from them. In fact, instead of muscle and bones, these arms were made from terrifyingly detailed wiring patterns printed on it. While the material for this wiring is remained unclear, what is clear however is the design of the wiring is unique and different., causing Odin to scream in agony.
Reiri seizes her opportunity to finish Odin off by stabbing at her chest, but she senses danger as she sees Odin's right eye color turns blue and her crystal wings shines brightly; to make matters worse, Odin's shriek transforms these lights into lasers raining down from above. Before she could warn everyone, Aine herself is attacked by the laser as Zecros's armor is partially destroyed, leaving her helplessly witnessing the carnage where her allies are engulfed by explosions and surrounding snow vaporizes into a giant mist.

In fact, Baldur is so powerful that it could destroy hundreds of thousands of soldiers all at once. and vows to annihilate everyone with it. Just as Reiri is worried about everyone The reason for her attentions towards her fallen comrades is because she knew for a fact that her shield will be broken should it take anymore damage from Baldur's lasers., Reiri is shocked to see Odin preparing another Baldur's attack and vowing to make them sacrifice for the evolution she sought.
Fortunately, Kizuna, who is equipping Eros and his Corruption Armament named Nayuta, arrives just in time to the scene and tells his sister that he will protect the fallen ones which Reiri approves. Odin once again using Baldur to rain down barrages of lasers but Kizuna shields everyone from these attacks despite knowing the shield's limitations. Reiri meanwhile keeps on resisting Odin's right wing attacks against her injuries for the sake of Kizuna and others until her shield is broken.
