Chandler had cleverly run away, he wasn't stupid, that little girl was already very difficult to deal with, and if he didn't leave, he would have to accept the righteous beatdown from the Seven Deadly Sins and Drake like Mael.
So Chandler left without saying a word, and Stella didn't chase after him, turning around to meet up with everyone.
Everyone watched Mael expel the Commandments from his body and then return to his original appearance, and those three Commandments flew towards the horizon without anyone else sending them.
As more and more Commandments were collected, they would generate an attraction. Meliodas now had seven Commandments, and had directly summoned these three Commandments back.
So the group chased after them urgently, arriving together at the former headquarters of Stigma.
This place had now been turned into a fortress for the Demon Clan by Zeldris, but it had just experienced a great battle, and there were ruins everywhere.
Not knowing if it was because the Demon Clan was stationed here, or because Meliodas was absorbing the Commandments, the entire sky was covered in dark clouds, and lightning would appear from time to time.
Adding the town's broken buildings and the smoke and bloodstains left behind from the battle, this place seemed especially gloomy and terrifying.
But no one cared about the harsh environment, because everyone had seen that huge dark cocoon.
Everyone sensed the vast magic power inside the cocoon, as well as the heartbeat-like pulsations.
Zeldris was standing behind Chandler and Cusack, who had a gloomy expression, and after seeing everyone, his expression had only turned ugly, but he hadn't made any movements.
In order to let Meliodas fulfill his promise, Zeldris didn't care about anything now. As long as the Seven Deadly Sins didn't have other actions, he wouldn't do anything extra.
Elizabeth couldn't help but cross her fingers, as if she was praying for something.
Although Meliodas, Merlin, and Drake had all guaranteed that they had made all the preparations, she still couldn't help but worry.
The reason why Elizabeth had stopped Meliodas from absorbing the Commandments in the original story was precisely because she knew that once he absorbed ten Commandments, Meliodas's own existence would be overwhelmed by the vast magic power.
So Elizabeth would rather die from the curse, entering reincarnation again, than let Meliodas become the Demon King.
But this time, the situation was different, she had also seen the preliminary preparation process, and she couldn't deny that the possibility of success was indeed very high, so she had no reason to stop Meliodas.
But that didn't mean that she wouldn't worry, after all, the risk still existed.
The pulsations inside the dark cocoon became stronger and stronger, until everyone could hear the thunder-like sound with their ears.
With everyone in different moods, the dark cocoon suddenly moved, and then a X-shaped opening suddenly appeared.
Footsteps rang out, and a figure walked out from the darkness, becoming clearer and clearer.
That face looked 80% like Mael in his Estarossa state, but instead of white hair, it was long golden hair.
He was wearing a white bodysuit, clearly outlining the muscles on his body, and also making the black magic on it even more obvious.
Two copper-colored strange limbs were also stretched out behind him, like armored skeleton arms.
Chandler hugged his cane, saying tearfully, "So this is Young Master Meliodas, who has inherited the Demon King? What a dignified posture!"
Drake reached out his hand, stopping Elizabeth, who was about to step forward, saying, "The one before us now isn't the Captain, let's act according to the plan!"
Zeldris still didn't know that the one controlling the body now had been switched to the Demon King, stepping forward, saying, "Meliodas, I've done what I promised you, it's time to fulfill your promise!"
The Demon King sneered, saying, "My foolish son, are you still indulging in those insignificant things?"
Zeldris's face changed, saying coldly, "Father, why are you in Meliodas's body?"
The Demon King laughed loudly, saying, "The Commandments were originally fragments of my power, becoming the Demon King is also becoming my new body!"
"Are you kidding me!"
Zeldris roared, he hadn't thought that the Demon King would be so vile as to use his own son as a vessel for his descent.
But he also knew that his father would never fulfill Meliodas's promise to unlock Geltan's seal.
The angry Zeldris directly pulled out the short sword on his waist, slashing at the Demon King.
The Demon King didn't even move, and the limbs behind him blocked Zeldris's attack.
"How pathetic!" The Demon King said slowly, "To actually show such a shameful appearance as my son!"
Another limb swept over, directly swatting Zeldris away. Cusack quickly stepped forward to support Zeldris, asking worriedly if he had been injured.
Chandler looked at the Demon King with a complicated expression, his long-cherished wish was to see Meliodas inherit the Demon King, but the current situation made him not know what to do.
The Demon King didn't care about these two, spreading out his arms, making a deep breathing motion.
"Long time no see, Britannia! This time, I will completely conquer you!"
Drake finally spoke, stepping forward, saying, "Sorry, although your dream has just begun, it's time to wake up!"
The Demon King turned his head, seeing Drake, and anger immediately surged on his face.
"So it's you! Human with the most heinous sins, I let you escape last time, this time I will make you pay the price for everything you've done."
Listening to the Demon King's threat, Drake curled the corners of his mouth disdainfully, saying, "Don't pretend, you haven't even completely controlled this body. Meliodas is still fighting you, right!
And the injuries I left on you before aren't that easy to heal, how much of your former strength do you still have now?"
The anger on the Demon King's face grew even stronger, that was because everything that Drake had said was true.
Ever since he had descended, Meliodas had been resisting in the mental world, making it difficult for him to completely control the body.
The injuries that Drake had left before were even more of a headache for him, that unknown power had not only injured his body, even his soul had been eroded.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so embarrassed that day.
Even though it had only been a few days in Britannia, it had been thousands of years in Purgatory, but his injuries hadn't recovered much. Just suppressing it was consuming a lot of his power.
It could be said that his condition had never been this bad, if it wasn't for waiting for this opportunity for billions of years, he would have even wanted to give up on descending.
But now the worst situation had occurred, there was a rebellious son on the inside, and strong enemies surrounded him on the outside, and looking at Zeldris and the others, they wouldn't help him either.
The Demon King had already begun to think about whether he should escape first, find a place to hide for a while, and then settle the scores with these people one by one after he had recovered all of his power.
But it was clear that no one would give him such an opportunity.
Drake said, "Gowther, go to the mental world and meet Meliodas, tell him that the final battle has begun.
We've prepared for so long, let's take back the victory that we've reserved!"
With a wave of Merlin's hand, the super-large Perfect Cube suddenly trapped everyone inside.
And Drake, Ban, Escanor, Zeldris, and the others moved together, all charging towards the Demon King.
