• Shekinah

“

You've done quite well, reaching here... We have bore witness to the full extent of your long journey. You have learned the truth about the Schwarzwelt, and slain the being at heart of it––Mem Aleph. What more could you possibly want, Tadano? If it's mercy you want, allow us to grant it You have regained the Cosmic Egg, source of our power, from the vile Mem Aleph. So long as You do no disrupt the god of law's creation, we shall let you be. If, however, you foolishly decide to dabble in the creation of your own world... Your arrogance will be met with punishment We...

„

“

I, Root Shekinah, shall cleanse your arrogance with divine punishment. The ancient gods and the humans who worship them are no longer needed... The earth is mine alone! I am your god! Your will is of no consequence, Human. You will embrace my mercy. I no longer have need of that song... Now that my power's returned, I shall create a new world myself. Rejoice, for it begins with your death! Your soul will serve as the new world's foundation! Praise my name and rejoice! Behold the rightful ruler of this planet–Root Shekinah!

Summary

The Shekinah (シェキナー) is the main antagonist of Strange Journey Redux, being the original form of the Three Wise Men, and as her name implies, the embodiment of The Great Will's female aspect, as well as the Law-aligned avatar of the very Will of the Earth, who was forced to split herself into three separate entities after the Cosmic Fruit, her power source, was stripped away from her by Mem Aleph and scattered into pieces on an alternate sector of the Schwarzwelt known as the Womb of Grief

Although her fragments, the Three Wise Men, are mostly passive entities who barely interfere with the events occurring in the Schwarzwelt and prefer to stand on the sidelines manipulating the Protagonist for their own purposes, they ultimately engage on a last battle with him after regaining their lost power and true form as the Shekinah, stating that they no longer have need of external assistance and will create their new, lawful world by themselves, proclaiming to be the rightful rulers of the Earth

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

More detailed information on this character's skill list can be found in the Megami Tensei wiki

Buffs and Debuffs: A set of skills that, as the name implies, allows the caster to greatly amplify their own physical attributes and reduce that of their foes, thus allowing one to stand up to much stronger opponents by closing or even reversing the gap in power between them. Outside of gameplay limitations, they can be stacked indefinitely, and sufficient usages of buffs allow the caster to survive attacks that would otherwise obliterate them with only minor injuries and amplify their speed to the point of completely outspeeding opponents that could previously predict all of their movements, while debuffs have a directly proportional effect on the enemy's statistics.

• Preening: Heals a large amount of vitality (1000 HP, in gameplay terms) while simultaneously increasing all of her statistics by four ranks.
• Reason's Start: Nullifies all statistics modifications, both positive and negative, from herself and all foes.
• Tables Turned: Reverses all statistics modifications of all foes, turning buffs into debuffs and vice-versa.

Almighty Attacks: The highest class of spells in the Megami Tensei franchise, consisting largely of powerful non-elemental attacks that have the special property of completely bypassing any resistances or immunities that a target may possess, be them innate or magically enforced, with the latter of which including anything from reflective barriers to items that distort the very laws of the universe in order to protect the user from all forms of damage, and they are likewise unable to blocked, drained or generally defended against.

• Divine Pain: Deals heavy almighty damage to all foes while simultaneously reducing all of their statistics by one rank.
