05x09 - That Which Gathers

[bunniefuu]

In order to escape Purgatory,

Meliodas and Ban battle
the Demon King over many years.

Ban's new powers

and Wild's self-sacrifice

allow them to escape from Purgatory.

After returning to the present,

Ban gives up his eternal life
to revive Elaine,

who lost all strength
in her fight with the Demon Clan.

Meanwhile, King and the others
are joined by Mael

as they hurry towards Camelot.

It can't be helped!

This is our mission.

I am the sinner.

The Original Demon.

Impossible!

It tossed aside the darkness
that Meliodas and the Commandment created?

Is that their true form?

We've now lost any chance of winning!

This is a tale of ancient times,

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

The Holy w*r, once more!

How the battle over the fate
of Britannia would progress

was something
not even the gods could predict.

But even so, they continue to battle.

They fight to destroy the evil rule

and protect the future
of their loved ones…

Therefore, they are known
as the chosen heroes,

the Seven Deadly Sins!

EPISODE
THAT WHICH GATHERS

Too bad.

After your peak at noon,
this is the best you can do.

You need this much
of a handicap, don't you?

Cruel Sun!

We just have to hope
that King and the others arrive soon.

We just need to hold it until then.

We can defeat it just by ourselves.

Don't try to bluff.

Your deaths are already decided.

No one will make it in time to save you.

What?

Exterminate Ray.

One bug squashed.

What is that?

That massive energy
coming from that direction…

What's that? King's Chastiefol?

Then where is he?

He may be attacking remotely.

Did he awaken to the full strength
of the Fairy King?

The Seven Deadly Sins…

I cannot judge their distance,

but several massive powers
are coming here from the north.

I think I got the hang of it.

But using it remotely,

it can only take one form at a time.

And it takes far too much energy.

I need to finish this quickly.

TRUE SPIRIT SPEAR CHASTIEFOL
FORM FOUR "SUNFLOWER"

No!

What?

Got you!

What an incredible power.

An arrogant display.

What?

The att*ck was neutralized?

Original Demon.

Allow me to take him.

You focus on defeating Escanor and Merlin!

What an intense battle.

It is only a matter of time
before it reaches us.

Gilthunder, you must escape while you can!

What? I refuse!

I cannot leave Margaret like this!

Mael was alive.

I knew that the impure Demon Clan
couldn't k*ll him.

Margaret…

Hendrickson, bring me to Mael.

Lord Ludociel…

I beg of you.

I am too shocked to walk, let alone fly.

Embarrassing, I know.
Feel free to laugh at me.

But please do it.

How sad.

Purge.

Margaret?

A winged man?

Did you retrieve him from Margaret?

This means that is the true form
of Ludociel of the Four Archangels.

Purge is not only a technique
to exterminate evil.

It can be used to remove pollutants
from muddy waters to restore pure water.

It would have been impossible
if he hadn't become so weakened.

If circumstances were different,
he would have avoided coming near me.

Hendrickson.

You worried deeply for Ludociel
from the very beginning.

Did you plan this?

It was a risky gamble, but it worked.

Take Princess Margaret and escape.

What will you do?

I'll remain here.

I have committed too many crimes.

After k*lling your father,

I caused you pain
by confining Princess Margaret.

Also, I cannot leave him.

Lastly,

I have a message from your father.

He said, "I'm always watching you."

Now go.

Hendrickson!

You tricked me.

I am prepared.

Please.

Use me as a vessel until my soul
and life are exhausted.

I do not fear death.

If you choose me, you should be able
to use your powers fully.

Goodbye, Dreyfus.

Stop your pointless resistance!

You have no chance of winning!

Is this pointless resistance?

You should realize it soon, no?

You are not the only ones
headed in this direction.

What?

Elizabeth, did you notice it?

What is it?

There is something ahead of us.

It can't be…

What's wrong, Mael?

Zeldris must have expected that
this would happen from the start!

I…

No, Estarossa would fall into an abyss
of madness, collect and swallow them,

and be unable to contain their power.

That means this presence is…

the four Commandments that you expelled!

As they gather together,
the Commandments gain power.

They become self-aware.

They pull one another together
with a strong force.

In Camelot, Meliodas has absorbed
five Commandments.

I am certain that the Commandments
are headed in that direction.

Isn't that seriously bad news?

Yes, seriously bad.

How do we stop them?

We can't.

But…

If Meliodas absorbs

all of the Commandments,
he'll become the Demon King.

That shouldn't be a problem!

Merlin has Melascula's Commandment, right?

It is too late.

Melascula suddenly started moving?

No. The Commandment
is harmonizing with something.

The time has finally come.

Gelda, just a little longer.

The birth of a new Demon King!

We weren't fast enough!

This is a troubling turn of events.

It is too early to give up yet!

Merlin?

What is that?

It can't be…

Forbidden spell. Chrono Coffin!

Do you intend to stop time in the cocoon?

I won't allow it!

Escanor, King, please…

Just give me minutes.

Everything is over.

No. I am sure Miss Merlin can do it.

It is a shock to see
that this woman can even stop time.

It will be easy to k*ll her
before the spell is completed.

Escanor doesn't have the strength

to stop the Original Demon anymore.

That warrior using the Spirit Spear
from a distance is impressive,

but it is difficult to stop
the att*cks of two monsters.

If Meliodas awakens as the Demon King,

our defeat is guaranteed.

Lord Ludociel!
How can you be so pessimistic?

Three thousand years ago, the Goddess Clan
encouraged and guided Humans.

I was always taught that.

Yes.

We became drunk
on the worship and belief of Humans.

Filled with pompous confidence,

I, Ludociel of the Four Archangels,
used others as pawns.

However, it was all to win the Holy w*r.

Even if people like you
turned their back on me and left.

No matter what,
I needed to save those two.

That is my atonement
for playing with their fates.

I have fallen low, indeed.

Seeing someone so dedicated to me,

I fell into a boyish ecstasy.

What?

I still respect and worship you.

Enough of that. I won't be tricked again.

For Druids,
the Goddess Clan is dogma itself.

In the end, you did your best
to guide us to victory.

To be honest, I also felt disappointed.

As you say, your treatment of Gilthunder

and Princess Margaret
left some to be desired.

Seeing you going mad
once you realized your brother was alive

made me smirk without realizing it.

Impudent!

There is such a thing as being too honest!

That is why I came to like you more.

I realized that you were the same
imperfect beings as us.

I am not of that inclination.

Don't worry!

Neither am I.

Putting that aside,
please quickly use me as a vessel.

Not as a Druid who worships you,
but as a friend.

Please.

Prepare yourself.

Be well.

What?

You're a softhearted fool who's always
helping others, not caring about yourself.

Lord Ludociel?

You told me to prepare.

Don't get overconfident!

I cannot fully use my powers
in a vessel like you.

I once had a friend.

He was as softhearted as you.

A foolish member of the Goddess Clan
who threw away his own life for others…

Don't die like him, Hendrickson.

Death Drive.

Merlin…

Escanor!

Die!

Finish up that spell quickly!

I cannot be certain how long this body
can hold without a vessel.

However, I can certainly give him
a little pause.

Ludociel!

I knew it.

Who could a man like me

possibly protect?

Arrogance should have a limit.

I would give my life…

I would give my powers…

Anything.

Someone.

Anyone.

Please…

Captain…

Merlin…

Save them!

Escanor.

I never expected
to see you again in this state.

I suppose Sunshine guided me to you.
