"Ban, King, I advise you to take it easy. Among the Ten Commandments, there's a key figure... a very important person. Her magic power is Hell Gate, capable of opening the gates of hell. She can resurrect the dead. Although the revived will harbor extreme hatred towards their loved ones, it's still an opportunity."
"Once this ability is activated, Elaine will be resurrected. After her resurrection, injecting the power of the Fountain of Youth into her body will allow her to live again. Isn't that what you both hope for!"
Looking at the two people, King and Ban, Asahi directly caused their minds to freeze with this information. If Asahi wasn't speaking nonsense, then Elaine could indeed be resurrected. Instantly, the expressions of the two changed repeatedly. This time, they weren't in a hurry anymore.
One was for his sister, and the other was for his lover. And after seeing the reactions of the two, Meliodas also restrained himself.
"Then let's wait for now. I actually forgot that Melascula has this magic."
Meliodas nodded. Although he hadn't interacted much with Ban over the past ten years, he had interacted with King quite a bit. Thus, he knew they needed to wait.
As for the others, to be honest, did they matter to Meliodas? Not really. Meliodas's goal was simple: it was for the sake of his lover and his current companions. For these people, the lives and deaths of others didn't matter much to him.
So even though he knew that activating the Hell Gate would result in many casualties among ordinary people, Meliodas, being a Demon Clan's member himself, naturally prioritized taking care of those around him.
In the original work, Meliodas was the same. Taking care of those around him was crucial. The others merely played a secondary role
The other members of the Seven Deadly Sins nodded in agreement. Although they knew that ordinary people might suffer greatly, as long as the Hell Gate was activated, they could directly take action.
They could directly eliminate the threat posed by Melascula. Once that was done, the Hell Gate would cease. As long as they ensured Elaine's resurrection, nothing else mattered. Of course, the Ten Commandments this time were just like in the original story—constantly engaging in small manipulations.
Their small manipulations are also very simple. In addition to awakening the weapons of the Demon Clan as mentioned earlier, they also revived many miscellaneous demon soldiers who had been sealed in the past—such as the Red Demons and the Gray Demons. These beings were only cannon fodder back then, but now they posed a considerable threat. After all, in the current time, most Holy Knights could only resist them for a short while.
The extras had no way to intervene, and they could only watch helplessly.
Now, the Ten Commandments had also released many sealed Demon Clan's members, spread across the entire continent. Additionally, they began devouring souls to restore their magic power, as souls contained a considerable amount of magic that they could absorb.
So, those unfortunate souls had their souls devoured madly.
Later, Melascula restored her magic power and used her own power to directly summon back the departed souls. As a result, in the Fairy King's Forest, Elaine had also come back to life. However, her clothes had turned black due to the condition of her body, which was the so-called blackening.
After blackening, Elaine directly injured the members of the Fairy Clan and then dashed out. As if she had a navigation application in her head, she directly went to Ban's location.
"It's Elaine, I've sensed Elaine's presence!"
Suddenly, both Ban and King exclaimed directly, but Asahi felt that Elaine's blackening should be easier to undo this time…
After all, Jericho hadn't followed Ban yet. Moreover, Ban had been imprisoned in a prison since the destruction of the Fairy King's Forest, so Elaine wouldn't have much reason to scold Ban.
Of course, the person after blackening wouldn't care about such things. Perhaps the reason for blackening might be attributed to Ban drinking the Fountain of Youth back then.
However, such reasons would appear feeble in the face of love.
Before Elaine could even enter the capital, the Seven Deadly Sins had already gone out and directly intercepted her.
Needless to say, Elaine released her love-infused beating on Ban.
"So, what exactly did Ban do to Elaine? Although the power of the Hell Gate makes her harbor extreme hatred towards Ban, isn't this beating a bit too harsh? It's only because Ban has thick skin that Elaine's beatings don't even break his skin!"
Seeing this scene unfold, the other people stood by, watching and enjoying the show. As for King, he couldn't intervene. After all, although he is an immediate family member, Elaine's big brother, Ban is her favorite person, so he was also a little speechless this time.
He could only stand by with a gloomy expression, watching the two of them fight in various ways. Not long after, Ban managed to subdue Elaine.
Since her blackening hadn't reached the point of no return, coupled with Ban's various actions, undoing the blackening was also straightforward.
However, after the blackening was lifted, Elaine's body fell into a state of weakness. And if Melascula were to die, Elaine would also perish.
"You finally stopped, Elaine, you really beat me up badly. But welcome back!"
As he said that, Ban directly injected the Fountain of Youth within him into Elaine's body. After the Fountain of Youth was injected into Elaine's body, Ban lost his immortality, but Elaine was perfectly resurrected, becoming a living person.
It was fortunate that the bodies of the Fairy Clan members wouldn't decay; otherwise, it would have been troublesome for Elaine to come back to life.
"Elaine!"
King couldn't hold back anymore at this time. Although he didn't want to disturb the two of them, as an older brother, he was naturally excited after seeing his sister resurrected.
"You are… brother, your wings…"
At this moment, Elaine was a bit confused. Her brother had unexpectedly turned into his current form. The King she is the only fairy without wings, which was making it confusing now.
She didn't know what had happened to her brother, and why he suddenly had wings.
But now, these wings had grown out, and her brother had directly changed from his youthful state to his current appearance. If it weren't for his aura and face, she probably wouldn't have recognized her own brother.
After all, this change was truly incredible, almost unbelievable.
"This is great, Elaine, you still remember me. It's really great! Damn it, Ban, remember to take good care of Elaine. If you dare to bully her, I'll smash your head! This time, you don't have immortality!"
King said in tears. Ban had proven himself. He had brought out the Fountain of Youth to save Elaine. After seeing such scene, what else could King say?!
