05x23 - An Everlasting Kingdom

[bunniefuu]

Meliodas and the others feel distrust
in Merlin for using them for so long.

For this one purpose!

Amidst this, Cath suddenly att*cks Arthur.

Cath is revealed to be
a monster born of Chaos.

It was defeated once, but Cath
appears again to devour Arthur.

Splitting from the Seven Deadly Sins,
Merlin faces Cath alone to protect Arthur.

Why didn't Merlin tell us about Chaos?

And why did she only tell us now?

The answer is simple.

We all had dreams.

Captain. Ban. King. Diane.

Even me.

So did Merlin.

You're not the one I want to play with!

Then play with me!

Arthur.

Her dream was to revive Chaos.

Reviving Arthur as the King of Chaos…

Would we have helped her
if she asked us for that?

This is a tale of ancient times

when the human and non-human worlds
had not yet split.

The w*r of light and darkness has ended,

bringing a new age to Britannia.

Does peace or turmoil await them?

The heroes who will determine
this fate exceed even the gods.

The Seven Deadly Sins!

Even if it was a pure dream for Merlin,

we would have tried to stop her,
saying it was too dangerous.

That is why she couldn't tell us.

But that power is clearly dangerous!

I think any power depends
on the person using it.

Even still, it doesn't change
the fact that she used us!

We were also saved
by Merlin's power time after time.

That's…

That is true.

Now that the conditions
to revive Chaos are met

and all of our dreams are fulfilled,

she decided that she wasn't needed,
so she admitted to it.

Gowther.

You are really taking Merlin's side.

King. Quit that.

I am not on any side.

Maybe the Lady of the Lake was right.

Humans and other clans
just can't understand each other.

Yes. No wonder we can't understand
each other with King.

Let me just say that I don't
consider you a human!

Shut up!

I am a doll. I am neither.

So let me say this.

I cannot rank any of you.

You're all precious friends.

If Escanor were here,
he would say the same thing.

Yes.

Escanor would have felt the same.

Right.

Even still…

We cannot let Chaos run wild.

We need her
to take responsibility for this.

Wait, Captain.

What do you plan to do to Merlin?

Meliodas. That magic. It can't be…

It was my error to take you back with me.

I'll finish you myself!

How?

You can't k*ll me by cutting me up!

I'll eliminate you somehow!

As the king, I have a responsibility
to protect my people and kingdom.

I shall remove all those
that would thr*aten them!

Protect the people and kingdom?

That has been long destroyed.

-What?
-What? You don't know?

Camelot doesn't exist
in Britannia anymore.

It was destroyed in the battle between
the Demon King and Seven Deadly Sins.

Lies!

If you don't believe me, use the power
of Chaos and look for yourself.

It can't be.

Arthur.

Don't be tricked by his words.

But…

I saw it.

Camelot looks nothing like before.

It has been abandoned.

It is in ruins!

You can rebuild your kingdom.

Most of the people held hostage by
the Commandments fled to Liones.

The cellar is also…

The cellar is also destroyed.

There were many people who waited
for the return of their family or friends.

I promised everyone I would
take Camelot back.

And yet, I…

Arthur!

Meliodas…

You…

Elizabeth! Why are you two here?

It's not just us.

Merlin!

Let's rescue Arthur now!

Right.

He's just unconscious.

Thank goodness.

Merlin.

You will take responsibility
for reviving Chaos.

For your entire life,
you must protect and guide Arthur.

You came here just to say that?

That was my intention all along.

We also have a responsibility
for allowing your recklessness.

So…

Let us protect you. Okay?

You have my thanks.

You all keep getting in my way!
I'm fed up!

Pieces of its meat are moving!

Is it undead like Ban was?

No. It is an existence
beyond life and death.

Arthur. Stay with me.

Hey, Arthur.

Are you so shocked?

Your people and kingdom are gone.

But all kingdoms
fall into ruin eventually.

Even if the Demon King
and the Seven Deadly Sins survived,

others may have d*ed.

A huge meteorite might have
fallen and crushed them.

Or they sunk into the ocean
and disappeared.

What are you saying?

Everyone is all the same in the end.

What is the same?

I'm just warning you to quit
this hopeless struggle.

No matter the route you take,
everyone dies in the end.

Humans, animals, countries,

forests, lakes, rivers, stars, even gods.

So you want me to let you eat me?

Yes. Correct answer, Arthur.

Enough of your nonsense.

Let's rip this kitty apart.

Come on.

What a pain.

Cath! I will defeat you myself!

Arthur. Stop.

Just kidding.

Cath stopped moving!

I stopped its time.

However, the effects of Chaos
seem to have destabilized my spell.

It will be revived in the near future.

I cannot tell if it is dozens
or hundreds of years.

Well, we'll take care of it then.

Yes. We'll be fine if we work together.

Let's all go home.

I wish everyone could come
to the ceremony.

Can't be helped.

Elaine is expecting
and Ban needs to stay with her.

The Fairy King and Giant Princess
returned to the fairy world.

Gowther and Hawk have their own lives now.

It's hard to find the time.

I wonder if Merlin and Arthur are well.

Those two must be focused
on rebuilding a new kingdom.

Does it hurt?

I'm sorry.

Why apologize?

I'm going to leave you all alone.

I won't be reincarnated this time.

Today is the last day
I will spend with you.

It was really a joyful 3,000 years.

Don't be sad, Meliodas.

You…

King Meliodas! This is serious!

Long time no see.

Just you? Did everyone die?

Too bad.

What's wrong?

You seem to be in a lot of pain!

If you had all d*ed by my hands back then,

you wouldn't have had
to go through this pain and sadness.

You don't have any companions anymore!

Don't give up.

Nothing is eternal in this world.

This world is Chaos.

Everyone disappears someday.

Like they never existed
in the first place.

Don't be sad, Meliodas.

No!

You are not alone.

We are all with you.

Forever.

Our bonds will never disappear!

Never!

Huh? That's a surprise.

I never thought they would come back.

Elizabeth. Everyone!

Was what I experienced

an illusion or reality?

Neither.

A future that is not set.

Another path for this world.

-Arthur! Are you okay?
-Yes.

However…

We need to find a way to defeat it.

Futile efforts!

You cannot k*ll me.

I will eat you Arthur,
and I will become one with Chaos.

I will swallow up everything!

I see. That's it, Cath.

The way to defeat you!

So fun, Arthur!

You thought of a way of defeating me?

If you can't cut me up,
will you grind me up?

Or burn? Melt? Want to try them all?

I'll eat you up way before that!

No. You will be the one who is eaten!

What happened to us?

Everyone! Did you wake up?

Gosh! What is happening?

If I cannot b*at you, I'll absorb you!

I will also take back the fragment
of Chaos that you stole!

No.

I won't return it.

I am born directly of Chaos!
I am the most fitting owner of it!

Is it trying to reflect Arthur's power?

Cath. What do you want
to do with the power of Chaos?

I want to destroy everything!

All physical things
will disappear in time anyway.

So I should just destroy them myself!

I will destroy everything!

Is this the soul of destruction
that Chaos bore?

Arthur! What will you use Chaos for?

Try your hand at making another kingdom?

It will fall to ruin someday!

Even now, the dead townspeople
are holding grudges against you!

You worthless king, who couldn't
even protect his kingdom and people!

Arthur!

Lord Meliodas!

It doesn't matter what it thinks of you.

It matters what you think of it.

I don't want everyone
to accept me as a great king.

However, I just want everyone
to live happy lives.

I vow this!

I don't care if anyone laughs at me
or points their finger!

No one suffers. No one is saddened.

No one is threatened
by disasters and threats.

A safe land.
I'll create an eternal kingdom!

An eternal kingdom?

Are you a fool, Arthur?

Eternity doesn't exist! It's an illusion!

That world is a fraud!

It's contradicting! It's Chaos!

Oh, it admitted it itself.

It let it slip.

That's right. I am the King of Chaos.

No!

Elizabeth.

What? Have we returned to the real world?

What? Cath?

It seems like it's inside of me.

I don't know if it's my stomach.

Was the power that
the monster cat stole returned?

I can't really tell.

The power of Chaos is complete once more.

The item in your hand
is the greatest proof of that.

Wait, what?

The Holy Sword!

Such incredible power.

It is a fitting sword
to create an eternal kingdom.

I'm so embarrassed.

I might have said that
in the heat of the argument.

It sort of felt like
I was talking nonsense.

A real man can't take back a promise.

Lord Meliodas.

What's the problem?

The crazier the goal,
the more satisfying it is to achieve it.

-Right!
-It might be too crazy.

Create the world you envisioned.

And even if this path you take is wrong,

the Seven Deadly Sins is with you!

Thank you, Seven Deadly Sins.

You are my eternal goal.
