My vote goes to Durga and Mahishasura.
Those two were real foes. Becase Durga Devi was already in a wrath and Mahisasura further infuriated her. Mahishasura initially.. how to put it.. ah, Mahishasura initially had a crush on Durga but that vanished the moment she vaporized Dhoomralochana and killed Canda-Munda. So Mahishasura was a real foe to Durga Devi.😊
Why I didn't choose any Krishna options? Two reasons:
1. I don't like to think that Krishna had any enemies; for me, only the asuras and evil kings hated Krishna, but Krishna knew his avatara's purpose and therefore was actually granting them moksha, so no enmity there!
2. I don't really trust Krishna in the matter of enemies. Like for example, in the Garga Samhita, there is a chapter, where Krishna tells some devas and some asuras to be born as wicked men... for example, he asked Kalipurusha to be born as Duryodhana, and Dwapara-Purusha to be born as Shakuni and also told Siva to send his partial incarnation to earth as Ashwatthama... so..
(But this can also easily be justified that Krishna sent these devas to earth just so they could bring all the evil forces onto one battleground, making it easy to defeat them).
