Dargoo Faust's [REDACTED] EDGES: "Divine Intervent- Oh, wait."

I'm actually going to go off on a tangent and vote in a tie. I'll start with powers and abilities, then kind of skip the edges bit and give an explaination as to why I think the no one should edge this one out. Granted, my vote ain't going to change much, but hopefully it gets some thoughts spinning

Powers, Abilities, and Weapons - Athena

While Laq is correct in that Micheal has shown much more potent feats when it comes to actual battle, Athena's powers and weapons give her a varied arsenal that should be able to deal with some of what the archangel has to dish out. She has a large range advantage, and I'm not covinced that Micheal can break through the Aegis. Although his sword of discrimination may also be from a "divine metal", it's never described as having the capabilities of greek god-forged armor, so the most we can do is speculate.

Why I think this is a tie

I'll start off by saying that divine battles like these are very hard to edge out, as religion does its very best to make things ambiguous as possible and make things OP as heck. However, both Athena and Micheal should be immortal according the various interpretations of them. It's hard to quantify if they'd really 'die' or be 'incapacitated' in this battle, as in the case of Athena she also embodies a concept, which makes things turbo-complicated.

Granted, yes, Micheal would probably have a really epic battle and smack Athena to high heaven, the issue here is I don't see it ending.
