Answer: Ahura Mazda; Ahriman.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ahura Mazda is the supreme deity of Zoroastrianism and represents good.

Angra Mainyu is the Middle Persian Ahriman, the disruptive being that represented evil in the dualistic tradition of Zoroastrianism.

In the earliest account of this myth, Angra Mainyu and Spenta Mainyu were the sons of Ahura Mazdā, and the conflict between good and evil would end one the good (Ahura Mazda) would trump evil (Angra Mainyu).
