The Three Wise Men become one as they transform into Shekinah using the fifth Cosmic Egg gathered by the protagonist, obtaining it from their servant Demeter after she spends most of her travels with him in the Wailing Womb manipulating the protagonist for this purpose. The masculine voice and forms of the three are replaced by Shekinah's feminine voice and a bust made of four female faces, facing off against the protagonist who stands in their way.
In battle, she harnesses the fruits gathered by Demeter and the protagonist to attack, each fruit having a different ability stolen from the guardians originally holding them. When near death, Shekinah summons Demeter to heal her at the cost of her life, which the Greek goddess reluctantly does while fearing dying herself.
Healed with the death of her servant, Shekinah continues the fight, becoming highly resistant to all forms of damage except Co-op Attacks. Despite this and added attacks, she's eventually forced to erect a barrier as she nears death again. Shekinah meets her end at the protagonist's hands, with the fifth Cosmic Egg obtained afterwards.
Shekinah is heavily implied to be an avatar of the Great Will, as before dying she apologizes to the Great Will for having failed to guide the world.
Her connection to YHVH (and by extension, the Three Wise Men being YHVH) is implied by Shekinah referring to herself as the god of law, along with the Three Wise Men mentioning that Mem Aleph stole the source of their power and divided into pieces (the fifth cosmic egg/cosmic fruit), which is similar to the EX mission False God in Chains that say that YHVH's power was torn into pieces and sealed away by the mothers of the Schwarzwelt, which implies that Shekinah is in fact YHVH appearing in Strange Journey. Also, before engaging the protagonist, she calls herself Root Shekinah (Shinrei in Japanese, meaning “godly”), further cementing this.
