It was Gowther beside him who saw Jin's expression and asked.

"Looking at your expression, it seems like you have some concerns, Jin."

Gowther's words made everyone's attention focus on Jin. Jin, who was being stared at by everyone, showed a helpless expression.

"I just feel like, Meliodas, you're hiding something. You seem to really want us all to become stronger, huh?"

King said, looking at Meliodas.

It was like this in the past. The strength of the members of the Seven Deadly Sins Knights was very good, but Meliodas seemed to be always dissatisfied.

By now, Meliodas' strength has reached a very terrifying level, and he has also become a member of the Super Dimensional Communication Company, but he still wants to make them stronger.

This desire for strength must be due to something important no matter how you look at it.

"You're quite perceptive, Jin. Well, according to the prophecy, the reason we, the Seven Deadly Sins, were established was to fight against a group called the Ten Commandments. However, with the emergence of the Hyperdimensional Communication Company, the prophecy is definitely unreliable. No one knows what will happen in the future."

"In this situation, only by having strong enough strength can we be fearless of any difficulties."

Melioda said calmly.

According to the original prophecy, seven sinners, including Meliodas, were needed to fight against the Ten Commandments, so the Knights of the Seven Deadly Sins were established.

But with the emergence of the Hyperdimensional Communication Company, Meliodas can deal with the Ten Commandments alone, so the prophecy is naturally inaccurate.

Having lost the advantage of the prophecy, and with Meliodas having to face the Demon King and the Supreme God sooner or later, who knows what kind of changes will happen then.

In order to cope with the unknown future, it would be best if the Seven Deadly Sins were stronger.

Chapter 826: Meliodas prepares to confess, a target that shocks the Seven Deadly Sins

"The Ten Commandments?"

While silently reciting this word, Jin, Ben, and Diane began to think rapidly in their minds. However, no matter how hard they tried, they could not recall any information about the Ten Commandments.

"Yes, it's the Ten Commandments. They were once a group of high-ranking demons within the Demon Clan. Each of them possessed the commandments bestowed by the Demon King. Any of them could easily destroy the Kingdom of Lyonness."

Meliodas said.

"The Demon Clan!"

Hearing Meliodas' words, King and Ban exclaimed in surprise.

Especially Ben, he witnessed with his own eyes a red demon invading the Elf King's Forest. In order to deal with the red demon, Ben lost Elaine, and the Elf King's Forest was also destroyed.

Therefore, Ban has no good feelings towards the Demon Clan.

"Don't mistake the Ten Commandments for the Red Demon you once encountered. They are not creatures of the same level. If our level is the same as the Ten Commandments, then the Red Demon is at most just a guy guarding the city gate in the kingdom's army."

Meliodas gave a rough description of the strength of the Ten Commandments. He didn't want Ban to think that the red demon he met that year was a powerful demon.

As expected, after hearing Meliodas' description, Ban's pupils shrank. He found it hard to imagine that the monster that seemed to be able to destroy everything was just a pawn of the Demon Clan.

However, after the shock, Ban's mood quickly became excited.

"That means the Demon Clan has many powerful opponents? Hahaha, there are actually such guys, and a large group of them. It seems I have to improve my strength."

A smile appeared on Ben's face.

He didn't care what Meliodas said, he was determined to get the Ten Commandments anyway.

King, on the other hand, recalled what Meliodas had said before.

"Originally, we were going to fight the Ten Commandments, but with the arrival of the Hyperdimensional Communication Company, the future has become uncertain. In other words, our goal has become even stronger."

"According to what you said, the Ten Commandments are a group of high-ranking demons within the Demon Clan. I guess their status within the Demon Clan is quite high, right?"

"The only existence stronger than them that I can think of is the Demon King!"

King stared at Meliodas with a serious expression, hoping to get a negative answer from him.

Even though he didn't know much about the Demon Clan, he knew exactly who the Demon King was. After all, he was one of the most powerful beings in their world.

"That's right, my enemy is the Demon King, and of course, the Supreme God of the Goddess Clan!"

Meliodas said with a smile on his face, leaving Jin stunned.

"The Demon King and the Supreme God?! You want to become their enemy? Are you crazy?!"

King looked at Meliodas in disbelief, completely unable to understand what this man was thinking.

The strongest people in his own world are the Demon King and the Supreme God. It is already a big deal to provoke one of them, but now, this guy actually wants to fight both of them.

Do your family members know that you are so amazing?

At this moment, even after learning that Meliodas had become a member of the Hyperdimensional Communication Company, King still couldn't have confidence in him.

After all, he hadn't yet reached the Hyperdimensional Communication Company, and wasn't sure if it was as magical as Meliodas had said, but the power of the Demon King and the Supreme God was constantly being sung in his own world.

"Don't worry, Jin. No one knows how powerful they are better than me. In fact, it is precisely because I know how powerful they are that I want to defeat them."

Meliodas turned and looked up at the sky.

If he could, he didn't want to do this, but there was no other way. Without defeating the Demon King and the Supreme God, he and Elizabeth would not be able to live a peaceful life.

If he doesn't defeat them, Meliodas won't be able to calm the anger that has accumulated over the past three thousand years from witnessing the deaths of hundreds of Elizabeths before his eyes.

You reap what you sow. For three thousand years, the Demon King and the Supreme God have sown the fruit of anger in Meliodas' heart. Now that the fruit is ripe, they naturally have to bear the consequences of this anger.

Looking at Meliodas who was looking at the sky with his back to them, King remained silent. He found that he could not understand the man in front of him at all.

Whether it's his strength, his behavior, or his goals... everything is like a fog that makes it impossible to see the truth.

"Defeat the Demon King and the Supreme God? That's an interesting goal, but I'm curious, Captain, why do you want to challenge them?"

"No one would think of challenging a big shot like that."

Ben asked.

Although Ban and Meliodas have become close friends, his understanding of his captain is actually not much different from King's.

So he was very curious about the reason why Meliodas formed the Seven Deadly Sins to fight against the Ten Commandments, and now he wanted to defeat the Demon King and the Supreme God.

"Well, there really is no point in keeping it secret until now, but this is a very long story."

Meliodas didn't look back. King and Ban didn't know if it was an illusion, but they heard a sense of vicissitudes in his voice.

“It’s okay, we have time to listen slowly.”

Ben said softly.

After all these years as Meliodas' friend, this was the first time he heard Meliodas speak in this tone.

"That's fine, where do I start... I got it."

At this point, as if thinking of something interesting, Meliodas turned around and looked at the expressions of the others in the class, with an expression of anticipation:

"Please introduce yourself first, Meliodas. I am a Demon Clan member, once a member of the Ten Commandments, and the son of the Demon King!"

Chapter 827: The Shocked Seven Deadly Sins, Meliodas's Past

A member of the Demon Clan, one of the Ten Commandments, and the son of the Demon King...

As Meliodas frankly revealed his identity, everyone present except Gowther showed an expression of disbelief.

"Captain, this joke is not funny."

Ban looked at Meliodas with a serious expression, hoping that he would laugh in the next second and tell them that this was a joke.

But unfortunately, Meliodas didn't do that.

In other words, is their leader really a member of the Demon Clan? Or is he the king of the Demon Clan, the son of the Demon King?

Ban and Jin heard about the Demon Clan from stories, and in those stories, the Demon Clan undoubtedly played the role of villains.

The villains in stories that start massacres, destroy towns, overthrow kingdoms, and even destroy the world are definitely members of the demon clan.

Coupled with what happened in the Elf King's Forest that year, the Demon Clan has already firmly established itself as the villain in Ban and Jin's minds.

Apart from the heartless demon clan, who else would attack the peaceful Elf King's Forest for no reason?

"Is this true? The leader is actually from the Demon Clan, the same race as that red demon who wants to destroy everything for no reason?"

Ben said in disbelief.

"I was born into the Demon Clan, so I can't help it. Furthermore, those Demon Clan who destroy everything at will, in the final analysis, it is only because the most basic power of the Demon Clan comes from darkness."

"For other races, they can suppress negative emotions and behaviors, but for the Demon Clan, because of the dark magic, it is too difficult to suppress these."

"Because it's so difficult to suppress, most members of the Demon Clan behave in exaggerated or even extreme ways."

"For example, if a human dislikes someone, they might just ignore them or beat them up. But if it's the demons, because of the influence of dark energy, they might just dislike them and then go straight to the point of calling for their death."

"However, as their strength increases, the dark energy's influence on the demons' emotions will gradually weaken. For example, the Ten Commandments are almost unaffected by the dark energy. Of course, with the exception of a few with extreme personalities, there are such people in every race, even the goddesses."

"Also, the demon clan members have rather ferocious appearances, but in fact, beneath their ferocious appearances, many of them also have hearts that desire a peaceful life, just like humans."

Meliodas said.

If the basic power of the Goddess Clan is light, then the basic power of the Demon Clan is darkness. This is the power that the Demon Clan is born with, and they have no way of deciding it.

There is nothing we can do about appearance, as this world is one where looks matter, so the demons become villains and the goddesses become heroes.

“…I see.”

Ban was silent for a while, and he had some understanding of the Demon Clan.

"But since you are the son of the Demon King and a former member of the Ten Commandments, why did you gather a group of us to fight against the Ten Commandments and even defeat the Demon King?"

Jin asked another question that concerned him.

Hearing this question, Meliodas looked up at the sky.

"About three thousand years ago, I was still a member of the Demon Clan, commanding the Ten Commandments..."

"Wait, wait, wait, three thousand years ago? Captain, you've lived for three thousand years?"

Before Meliodas could finish his words, Diane, who had been silent all this time, suddenly exclaimed. King and Ban beside her also looked at Meliodas in shock.

“…We’ll talk about that later.”

Meliodas was silent for a moment before finally speaking.

"At that time, I was still in charge of the Ten Commandments, but because I found the one I loved, I eventually left the Demon Clan. I'm sure you can understand this decision, Ben."

Meliodas looked at Ban.

Being asked, Ban looked at Meliodas deeply.

He and Meliodas have known each other for so many years, but he has never heard his captain mention his lover. Originally, Ban thought that Meliodas had not found it yet.

But now, combined with Meliodas's desire to fight against the Ten Commandments and even defeat the Demon King, Ban has a rough guess about Meliodas's experience.

If it were me, would I do the same thing as the leader for Elaine?

Meliodas, unaware of what Ban was thinking, continued his narration:

"After I left the Demon Clan, the Holy War of three thousand years ago broke out. Or rather, I was the trigger of the Holy War of three thousand years ago."

"To end the Holy War, my friends and I were determined to defeat the Demon King."

“But it failed.”

Meliodas' voice was a little low. Because of that failure, he lived like a walking corpse for three thousand years, and Elizabeth experienced reincarnation and death hundreds of times.

"After that, I was cursed and lived for three thousand years. During this time, I always wanted to defeat the Demon King, but I could never do it."

"Until all these years, King Lyonness used its magic to predict the establishment of the Seven Deadly Sins, and I finally waited for the opportunity to come."

"However, the arrival of the Hyperdimensional Train has thrown the prophecy into the unknown. But the good news is that my strength has also improved by leaps and bounds. The Ten Commandments that once required a team to defeat, I can now handle on my own."

"As for the Demon King, I will defeat him sooner or later."

Having said that, Meliodas clenched his fists, turned his head to look at the people with complicated expressions, and a smile appeared on his face.

"This is my story. How about it? Is it interesting?"
