Meliodas followed Drake to the temporarily built workshop. After hearing that Drake could help him remove the curse, how could Meliodas sit still?
Drake placed the magic tool containing the Commandment of Truth on the table, saying, "You should be familiar with this thing, right!"
As the former leader of the Ten Commandments, Meliodas had once controlled a Commandment, so of course he was very familiar with the Commandments, and even knew what the essence of the Commandments was.
Drake said, "You know more about the Commandments than I do, but you might not know that in addition to the power of the curse, there are also fragments of the Demon King's consciousness in the Commandments.
When the ten Commandments gather on one person, the Demon King's soul will descend."
Meliodas frowned, gathering all ten Commandments to become the new Demon King, and then lift the curse was also a plan that he had considered.
But he was also wary of what the Demon King would do during this process.
So in the original story, he had only made up his mind after Elizabeth had recovered all her memories, and was about to die from the curse.
He hadn't expected that the so-called becoming the new Demon King was actually becoming a sacrifice for the Demon King to descend.
Another plan had been rejected, and Meliodas's expression couldn't help but become ugly, saying, "So what you said about this being a method to remove the curse, is it related to this?"
Drake nodded, saying, "Haven't you realized that the curse on you is actually very similar to the curse of the Commandments?"
Meliodas was stunned, and then quickly reacted, saying, "You mean...!"
Drake nodded, saying, That's right, the method to dismissal is to defeat the person holding the Commandment. Similarly, as long as you defeat the Demon King, you can remove your curse.
So the problem is simple, gather all ten Commandments, and let the Demon King descend. Then defeat him!
Meliodas smiled wryly, saying, "It's not as easy as it sounds, the Demon King is just too powerful, even you and I, I don't think there's any possibility of winning."
Three thousand years ago, Meliodas and Elizabeth had been cursed after losing in battle against the Demon King and the Supreme Deity.
He had the clearest understanding of just how powerful the only two beings in this world who could be called gods were.
Drake said, "I'm not arrogant enough to think that I can defeat the Demon King in his complete state. But the Demon King who descends upon Britannia is different.
Borrowing someone else's body, even if all ten Commandments gather, it's impossible for him to reproduce all of his strength.
Most importantly, as long as the person who gathers all ten Commandments has a spirit that is strong enough, they can drive out the Demon King's soul. At that time, defeating him won't be a problem!"
Meliodas's eyes lit up, if things really developed as Drake had said, then there might really be an opportunity.
Drake looked at Meliodas seriously, saying, "So the question is, Captain, are you ready?"
Of course Meliodas understood that the most suitable person to gather all ten Commandments and lure the Demon King to descend was himself.
Meliodas's father-son relationship with the Demon King was only limited to being related, and if he had to show off "filial piety," he wouldn't have any psychological burden.
So he smiled, saying to Drake, "Of course, I've been preparing for three thousand years! But with this, we have to hurry up and defeat the Ten Commandments!"
Drake waved his hand, saying, There's no need to be so anxious. As you said, even if our plan progresses smoothly, the weakened Demon King won't be easy to deal with.
Before taking action, we must make all the preparations that we can. I'll discuss it with Merlin, and we'll make some tools together, maybe we can gain even more advantages.
Meliodas said with emotion, "You're as meticulous and reliable as ever!"
The two settled on a plan, but both acted as if nothing was different from usual. After all, there was Hawk among them, who didn't even know that he was the Demon King's spy.
What they had to do hadn't changed, they had to defeat the Ten Commandments anyway.
And Drake also temporarily put down his wariness towards Merlin, really looking for her to cooperate in making the magic tools they would need.
On the matter of defeating the Demon King, everyone's goals were still the same.
Merlin's abilities were indeed not to be underestimated, she was someone who had grasped all the knowledge of Britannia, but still couldn't be satisfied, so she had set her sights on the power of Chaos.
After Drake had told her the plan, Merlin had given several usable plans, some of which were even better than the plans that Drake had made.
Putting aside everything else, Merlin was indeed a very good collaborator in research.
When he communicated with her, Drake felt that the experience points for his ability [Mystery] had increased a lot.
Just as Drake and Merlin were burying themselves in making magic tools, many things had happened outside.
First of all, King and Diane had successfully passed Gloxinia and Drole's trials, and had returned to the royal capital of Liones.
Just like in the original story, Gloxinia had sent the two's souls back to the time of the Holy War three thousand years ago, allowing the two to see the events that had happened in that era with their own eyes.
Drake had only remembered later that Gloxinia had used a fairly powerful forbidden technique.
What Diane and King had experienced wasn't an illusion, but their souls had really returned to three thousand years ago.
On the important events that had changed Gloxinia and Drole's lives, King and Diane had made different choices from the two, and had therefore passed the trials.
The reason why the two had returned was actually because they had been bounced back by the corrective force of history for making choices that were different from history.
Although the restrictions of this forbidden technique were great, Drake was still quite curious about its principles.
And the two had also caused quite a few things after returning.
First of all, Diane had seen Gowther of Selflessness three thousand years ago, and had promised him that she would guide Gowther onto the right path.
After returning, Diane had found Gowther, wanting to help him find his lost heart.
Diane was a very resilient girl, and had actually investigated the past that Gowther had experienced, and had obtained the "heart" that Gowther himself had taken out from the King of Liones.
Then Diane had followed their agreement, allowing Gowther to learn to accept the painful but crucial memories, and had really found his own emotions.
Having become complete, Gowther had not only become more stable, but his power level had also increased significantly, and with his powerful mental abilities, he could be considered a reliable combat force.
The impact of the two's return wasn't just limited to this, three thousand years ago, the two had seen Elizabeth of the Goddess Clan with their own eyes.
After Diane and Elizabeth had talked about this, Elizabeth's memories had actually begun to revive.
Drake couldn't help but marvel at the convergence of the plot, even though Elizabeth hadn't experienced the eruption of the Goddess Clan's power, nor had Zeldris directly opened the seal on her memories by healing Merlin.
But she had still begun to remember everything because of Diane's words.
And this had also forced Meliodas to take action as soon as possible.
Judging from this situation, it was only a matter of time before Elizabeth recovered all of her memories. And at that time, her life would enter a countdown.
Plans couldn't keep up with changes, and although Drake and Merlin were still a part away from completing all the preparations they had envisioned, they could only take action under Meliodas's insistence.
So Hawk Mama started moving again, advancing towards Edinburgh, the Ten Commandments' base.
