My thoughts

Round 1: If SOLSTICE in this key is on pure strength, I'm inclined to go for inconclusive. Shields are powerful defenses, and even after being majorly damaged they regenerate within moments, so SOLSTICE is unlikely to be getting through them with pure strength. On the other hand, Absolute Barriers are also really powerful defenses, so unless Luther takes her down quickly, her shields are going to adapt enough to block his abilities. She's definitely more intelligent than he is, but that won't help much when his Shields are automatically blocking all of her attacks.

Round 2: The reason Supreme Truths (Veritas Maximus) are so powerful (when they actually do something useful) is they completely ignore and bypass any resistance not purely the user's own. Alicia's soul is inhabiting a solar drive and a robot body, and her page states that she herself is not controlling the magic, its the core. While her soul has inhabited it for a while, they are still at their basic level not a part of her. So his Veritas Maximus is going to go straight though tha Absolute Barriers. From her character, I'd say her own soul and mind would be able to remain for a few minutes, but even then its still slowly twisting her mind and soul. Also, in this form he constantly creates new demons, as well as twisting the landscape and surorunding life forms into an extremely hostile environment, which serves to distract her. Plus, he's the size of a mountain, has high regen, and the only way to truly kill him is to destroy his 'heart'. So in this case, I'd go for Luther
