> It's possible to Ais can use White Ariel/wind or was it just a momentary power up?
We do not know at the moment. It seems more likely that it was an equivalent of a limit off for her, spurred by her hearing the Grand Bell. But we can't say for sure either way.
> How strong is White Ariel?
Stronger than Avenger + regular Ariel, which was stronger than SO12 Revis. A Revis that is stronger than the SO11 Revis which Ais had previously compared directly to base Ottar. So, high level 7 tier, if not low 8.
> and Ais will continue using Avenger?
Unsure. If anything, the narrative seems to be that now she is in control of what she perceives as a monster. But, wether that would be relevant later on is debatable. Maybe agaisn't a demi spirit? I don't think it's been mentioned if the skill just dissapeared from her Falna, or if that's even possible. So she should still have access to it.
I think the only way Ottar loses at this point is if he's not at peak condition and it's not a 1v1. Sort of like Kaido in One Piece.
There is just no way for Bell to 1v1 him and win, even if he leveled up and got a level boost. Ottar would have him beat in stats and experience (by a mile). And while Argonaut is always a game changer, Ottar isn't just going to let him charge it to the point it can threaten him.
However, if he teams up with Aiz, maybe they can eek out a win.
During recent discussions with fans of the series, the topic of when the deep floors (floors 37+) where discovered came up. Apparently early SO states that these floors were only explored for the first time about 100 years ago.
Does anyone here remember this statement? If so, what volume (if possible, around what page) of SO is this mentioned in?
The thing is that Falna is “the ultimate key to unlocking potential”. Based on this interpretation (stated in early main series volumes and later reiterated in Aedes Vesta), Falna shouldn’t add to a person beyond what they already had potential for.
For some reason, it's been floating around the community that the "white wind" (powered up Ariel) from SO12 was some form of mistranslation and that it doesn't actually exist in the JP novel. Can anyone that reads the JP confirm that this is false?
We already saw in previous volumes that Freyas passive charm is enough to make people act as if “their soul left their bodies”. Her active charm was capable of making that army in Episode Freya kill themselves, no questions asked. Omori had to make Zard and Alfia immune to her charm or otherwise Freya could literally have soloed Astrea Record. And even then, she was a priority target. Clearly there is a consistent theme with her capabilities.
As for other gods, as Ishtar and Aphrodite show, not all of them posses the same level of “proficiency” in their area of expertise. They are still skilled waaaay beyond normal mortal limits, but the levels vary between gods. I.e, Dionysus being able to make Wine that even Soma was jealous of, or Freya overwritting Ishtars charm, or Aphrodite being stated as a weaker beauty goddess.
Fact is, these special areas where each god excel at , even without arcanum, have been established since the early volumes, and certainly before volume 17. And furthermore, just because Freya is that powerful, doesn’t mean all other god’s abilities on earth scale exactly to that level. In fact, in Aedes Vesta we learn about “Greater Gods” which are implied to hold either more power or more prestige in their pantheon.
Weird to see you back here Drake, finally finished actually reading the series? Or nitpicking just based on summaries?
