Shoko cannot hide the shock knowing Kyoko was taken away instead of her as the evil god's host. As Shoko finds out the special position of Athena's handmaidens as well as bodyguards that only women can fill, she decides to become a Saintia herself from her desire to become stronger in order to rescue her sister. Saori requests the Silver Saint, Pavo Mayura, for Shoko's training, however - On the other hand, Milo and Aiolia at the Sanctuary were sensing the evil Goddess Eris' suspicious moves.

The moment the golden arrow strikes Saori, the Ghosts begin to stir. Shoko who was the evil god's shell had lost conscious, having her soul pulled by the Ghosts. Mayura and the Saintias work hard to calm the evil spirits while Seiya and the Bronze Saints hurry through the Sanctuary to save Athena. Now, the deadly battle of the twelve temples begin.

After the deadly battle, the Saints of the Sanctuary all swear their loyalty to Saori-Athena. Meanwhile, Eris, who was thought to have been sealed, had fused with her host, Kyoko, and multiplied her powers. Saori rises against Eris to protect Shoko, but receives the curse of the apple. The Gold Saints head to the Temple of Eris along with the Saintias to save Athena and to stop the evil god from scattering the Evil Seeds of war that fill people's hearts with hate. That's where Aiolia witnesses his own brother turning his fists against him.

Can you defeat your sister who has fused with the evil god? With Mu's question, Shoko agonizes over the fate she bears. That's when Orion Rigel, the Ghost of an ex-Silver Saint, stands before Shoko. From Rigel's sad eyes that once shared a past with Kyoko during Saint years, Shoko senses his true feelings and - Mii vs. Emony, Aiolia vs. Saga, the individual battles within the Temple of Eris begins.

Finally, Shoko faces the evil god Eris. As Saori's Cosmo grows weaker, all of the Saintias-Shoko, Mii, Xiaoling, Katya, and Erda-put their hearts together to challenge Eris. The Gold Saints continue to protect the Sanctuary as they find out Eris' plan of crashing the temple into it. Aiolia and Milo, who face Saga in a deadly battle, plans to destroy the temple, however - A raging destiny encircles the Saintias, Gold Saints, evil god Eris, and Saori Kido. The final battle begins.
