How would it look if Urd and Rind battled against Welsper and Hild?
At risk of skimming some spoiler information...
It would be interesting but very hard to call.
Velsper, unfortunately, would probably be more interested in having the goddesses protect him FROM Hild. She has more personal animosity toward him/her than she would against the goddesses.
The big question would be what the political conditions would be under which Hild would actually face Rind. (restricted, unrestricted, sanctioned conflict, unsanctioned, personal, competitive, etc.)
Hild is a recognized leader of hell and Rind is a uniformed member of the heaven's armed forces (she's a Valkyre) so a conflict between them would automatically have political overtones. Hild at full strength would be far beyond Rind at normal strength, but weapons and military support could change that.)
Hild and Urd probably wouldn't want to actually hurt each other, so a conflict between them would be more containment and manipulation than pure blasting. (Which didn't seem to really hurt either of them the last time they did it to each other.) And we'd have to deal with whether Urd was in restricted or unrestricted mode as well.
All in all, this sort of conflict would require a defined situation and victory conditions to decide. Basically, we're dealing with the old Alamo game rules, if the Texans can hold out for six game turns they win. They'll all still wind up dead at the end, but within the game rules they've won.
Hild IS one of the most powerful (if not THE most powerful) demons in Hell. That's why she's the top cheese. Any all out conflict with her is going to be on the level of Ragnorok and the other three, as shown so far, would only be grunts in such a conflict.
