Eris
Eris is a chaos-driven antagonist who orchestrates her plan through manipulation and ancient power. She tempts Eri into becoming her vessel, using her as a tool to sow discord across the world. Her ultimate target is Saori Kido—the reincarnation of Athena—whom she incapacitates by placing a golden apple against her chest to drain both her power and life force. Once Athena is weakened beyond recovery, Eris no longer needs Eri's body and moves forward with her scheme to conquer the world.
The plan carries catastrophic consequences: according to prophecy, Athena's death will trigger the resurrection of all Saints who died with sorrow in their hearts, and their collective grief will bring about Earth's destruction.
Her methods draw heavily from classical mythology. In the original Greek myths, Eris—the goddess of discord—was excluded from the wedding of Peleus and Thetis because of her reputation for stirring up trouble. In revenge, she threw a golden apple inscribed "to the most beautiful goddess" into the celebration, sparking a beauty contest between Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite. That single act of jealousy and chaos ultimately triggered the Trojan War.
