^This is what I agree with.

Pariston does look weak, but there's the 18 hunters thing, and I think he joined Beyond's group cause he saw it as a good opportunity. I wouldn't be surprised if he manages to convince the other people to betray Beyond and follow him instead.

I think he definitely will be the antagonist of this arc, if not the final one.
