A: In this scenario, since Blackwing Full Armor Master is unaffected by other cards’ effects, it is unaffected by the effect of Gullveig of the Nordic Ascendant that prevents monsters from targeting it for attacks, so you can choose attack targets normally. (In this case, Blackwing Full Armor Master can target either Gullveig of the Nordic Ascendant or Odin, Father of the Aesir for its attacks.)
