The War God's Awakening

A new threat arises in the wake of Eris' defeat: Ares, god of War, enters the stage. His presence is not directly tied to Eris — he follows his own agenda, his own vision of what the world of the gods should be. The Saintia, who believed their war was over with the goddess of Discord, discover that a victory against one god does not mean the end of divine threats.

Shoko faces this escalation with a maturity only trial can give. She is no longer the frightened high school girl from the first volume — she is a hardened Saintia who has survived the impossible. But Ares is of a different nature from Eris: where the goddess of Discord acted through manipulation, the god of War acts through direct confrontation.
