In the royal capital of Liones, the square where the Seven Deadly Sins had been knighted was now filled with all of the kingdom's Holy Knights.
And those Holy Knights were all looking with fanaticism at Ludociel, who was raising his arms high before them.
"Three thousand years have passed, and the Demon Clan has used a conspiracy to escape from our seal, they will surely bring disaster to Britannia once again.
But there's no need to worry, and no need to fear, because we, the warriors of the Goddess Clan, have also returned. We will rebuild Stigma.
For victory, for glory, and also for justice, please fight alongside us!"
"Oh!!!"
...
It had to be said that Ludociel really had some ability to bewitch people.
In legends, the Goddess Clan were originally the symbols of justice and light, and had long been worshiped as gods.
In addition to the Goddess Clan's light power, which made it easy to gain goodwill, Ludociel had won the support of most of the Holy Knights with just a few words.
The only ones who could remain clear-headed were the Seven Deadly Sins and Drake's group in the corner.
Drake said with an expression as if he had eaten something dirty, "I don't want to act with this guy, he might screw us over at any time!"
Why was Ludociel rebuilding Stigma? Wasn't it because the Goddess Clan's current power was weak, and couldn't compare to the Demon Clan at all, so he wanted to find cannon fodder and pawns?
It was thought that anyone with a clear head would know this, just that they wouldn't say it as bluntly as Drake had.
Meliodas nodded, saying, "No matter what the Goddess Clan does, we just need to continue according to our own steps!
After all, we Seven Deadly Sins have finally gathered completely!"
That's right, the last member of the Seven Deadly Sins, and also the strongest member, Escanor of Pride, had returned to the team.
The battle in Vaizel had ended anticlimactically due to the sudden appearance of the Goddess Clan, and the Ten Commandments had chosen to retreat.
The Goddess Clan were hampered by the fact that their power hadn't recovered, and the Seven Deadly Sins and Drake had quit due to Ludociel's actions, so the battle had ended anticlimactically.
Drake's goal of obtaining a Commandment had fallen through, so he was particularly dissatisfied with the Goddess Clan.
But the group had gained another harvest on the way back, which was that they had encountered Escanor, who was on his way to Vaizel to deliver wine.
Drake had almost forgotten that Escanor and Meliodas had also met up in Vaizel in the original story.
After learning that Merlin was also there, Escanor had returned to the team without saying anything else. After meeting up with the people who had stayed behind in Camelot, the seven members of the Seven Deadly Sins had officially gathered.
It was worth mentioning that when everyone had returned, Merlin had "remembered" her true name and true identity, thereby lifted his own curse.
Just as they were discussing their next course of action, Camelot had received news from Liones.
The Goddess Clan were summoning all the warriors of Britannia, to discuss the extermination of the Ten Commandments together in the royal capital of Liones.
Although they didn't plan to act together with the Goddess Clan, they at least had to understand the movements over there. So everyone had come to the Kingdom of Liones, and the development of everything wasn't much different from what Drake had expected.
However, this trip wasn't without its gains, Ludociel had obtained important information after integrating Britannia's numerous intelligence systems.
That was the Demon Clan's base!
Unlike in the original story, where the Demon Clan had directly captured Camelot, this time, due to Galand's sudden defeat, the Ten Commandments' actions had become much more restrained.
After the battle in Vaizel, the Ten Commandments had seen the revival of the Goddess Clan, so they had concentrated their power even more. It seemed that they were also preparing for a new Holy War.
And their base was the ruins of Edinburgh.
Speaking of Edinburgh, it had a connection with both the Demon Clan and the Seven Deadly Sins.
Three thousand years ago, the Demon Clan had started a war with the other four major races.
Although they hadn't directly won over the other three largest races like the Goddess Clan had, the Demon Clan also had their own subordinate races.
The Vampire Clan was one of them, but three thousand years ago, the Vampire King had gotten a screw loose, and had actually wanted to start a rebellion.
The Demon King didn't feel much other than anger at being betrayed, and had just sent Zeldris, the executioner, to wipe out the Vampire Clan.
But Gelda of the Vampire Clan was Zeldris's lover, and Zeldris hadn't been able to bring himself to do it in the end, and had just sealed away the entire Vampire Clan.
Three thousand years later, perhaps because Zeldris had been sealed in the Coffin of Eternal Darkness, and too much time had passed, the seal on the Vampire Clan had opened.
The awakened Vampire Clan had immediately stirred up quite a bit of unrest in Edinburgh and the surrounding areas.
And at that time, the one that the Kingdom of Liones had sent to investigate Edinburgh was the Seven Deadly Sins.
Then the Vampire King had encountered Escanor, and had made two mistakes,
The first was that he had insisted on being long-winded, and hadn't seriously fought until it was almost dawn.
And the second mistake was that he had said that the poem that Escanor had written for Merlin was a magic spell.
What was Escanor's personality during the day, how could he have tolerated this, and then the entire Edinburgh had been blasted into a bottomless crater by Escanor.
The Ten Commandments had made this place their base as soon as they had been unsealed, building a fortress.
According to Ludociel's information, Melascula among the Ten Commandments had created a spatial distortion on the periphery using a technique, which would reject all foreign objects.
Even Ludociel didn't have a way to break through for the time being, and could only gather his forces to start a war with the Demon Clan army outside.
And the Seven Deadly Sins seemed particularly maverick at this time, they hadn't acted together with the army of Stigma, and had even rarely participated in the battles.
Merlin was in the workshop, not knowing what she was researching, and Escanor was just being attentive by her side.
As for Gowther, he was still in self-imposed seclusion, constantly thinking about how to obtain his own "heart".
And Diane and King had been taken away by Gloxinia and Drole to undergo trials.
In the battle of Vaizel, Gloxinia and Drole had seen the excellence of these two juniors.
They were the kings of the Fairy Clan and Giant Clan after all, and they also wanted to see their juniors grow up and protect their own people in their place.
At the same time, they also wanted to use the trials to witness whether the decisions they had made back then were correct. Whether their favored juniors could have other choices.
Drake had noticed when Gloxinia had taken the two away. Diane and King would have considerable growth by passing the trials, and Drake naturally wouldn't stop them.
Meliodas and Ban seemed to have nothing to do all day, other than continuing to do business at the Boar Hat, they would just get drunk together.
Of course, Drake could sense that Meliodas was deliberately preventing Elizabeth from coming into contact with the Goddess Clan.
As Meliodas himself had said, he wasn't ready to accept the consequences that would occur after Elizabeth knew everything.
And the reason for everything was the eternal curse on the two of them. And on this day, Drake found Meliodas.
"Captain, you have the Demon King's curse on you, right?"
Although it was a question, Drake's tone was extremely certain.
Before Meliodas could misunderstand, Drake said, "Perhaps I can help you remove the curse!"
