Expect some actions here which will slowly shifts the wheels of fate…in an unexpected way…

Well then, read on and enjoy!

Ch. 13: Jigen no konran

A visibly angered Meliodas is being calmed by Strange as Thor confronted Loki over his role of indirectly causing the death of Elizabeth, even though the Green Goblin is the one who killed her, and the Thunder God is not pleased with his half-brother's latest foolishness, and told him that he has gotten himself into bigger trouble despite Loki rebutting.

"Really, brother…you really are a handful."

"I didn't do anything. Honest!"

"Don't lie. You caused this."

"But…"

"Shut it, Loki. After this I will have to decide on what to do with you…"

"Cut me some slack, brother…"

"No."

"Aw…"

As the scene takes place, onlookers were watching it and wondered where this would end up, yet they feel sorry for Meliodas, unaware of his true nature and now they are hoping that Thor punish Loki after overhearing that he is the reason why the Green Goblin went on a rampage that resulted in lots of damages and for killing Elizabeth.

"That guy…"

"Is he Thor's brother…?"

"Looks like it…"

"Now he's really done it…"

"Thor better punish him…"

"He's becoming a pain…"

"Indeed…"

"Are they really gods…?"

The scene further unfold as a very angry Meliodas wants to lash out at Loki, but Strange managed to calm him down and persuade him to let Thor deal with Loki, though Meliodas was reluctant to heed Strange's advice due to being despondent over Elizabeth's death.

"Easy, Meliodas…"

"But…"

"It's okay…"

"He…Elizabeth…she…"

"We know. Let Thor deal with him."

"But…but…"

"Calm down…relax…"

"…"

By then a mystical blast struck the ground, which came from the sky, and this caused everyone to scatter as they all evaded it. They then saw what caused it, and the attacker turns out to be Baron Mordo, who somehow survived and return to modern Scotland.

There Mordo told Strange that they are going to finish what they started, and though Strange asked for a furlough, Mordo refuses and said they will settle this regardless of the circumstances.

"Sorry. No ceasefire."

"Mordo!"

"We deal with this no matter what."

"Can't we make a schedule?"

"No."

"Come on now Mordo..."

"Sorry. Let us begin."

"!"

Mordo unleashed another blast, which was a strong one, and it hits the ground, causing debris to fly over, and struck many onlookers and caused a panic and stampede, and many screamed out in pain as the blasts struck them.

"AAAAIIIEEEE!"

"EEEEEKKKK!"

"KKKKYYYYAAAAHHH!"

"GGGGGAAAAHHHHH!"

"HELP!"

"SAVE ME!"

"SOMEONE DO SOMETHING!"

"I'M GOING TO DIE!"

In the ensuing confusion, Loki took the opportunity to make his escape, which Thor is not pleased, and the Green Goblin also used the confusion to get away as well, and before Meliodas could go after him, a stray blast blocked his way, impeding his chance to go after the Green Goblin, and this angered Meliodas and told Mordo to stop this at once.

Mordo, however, said that it is beyond this as he will deal with anyone associated with Strange, and that includes Thor and Melodias.

"Sorry. No exceptions."

"Damn you!"

"I will deal with this no matter who."

"Get out of my way!"

"No."

"Get out of my way…now."

"Sorry. Anyone associated with Strange dies. You included."

"!"

Mordo unleashed a powerful blast, which Meliodas instinctively evaded, but this had some unintentional consequence, as the blast struck Elizabeth's dead body and it was reduced to burnt ashes, and this angered Meliodas and he went into rage and flew towards Mordo and delivered strong punches that sent Mordo to the ground, and Strange became concerned at seeing Meliodas losing himself to rage.

He went towards Meliodas and tried to calm him down, saying that what he is doing will only worsen the situation and said that Thor would help in stopping Mordo's rampage, which slowly swayed the still-grieving Meliodas.

"Easy, Meliodas…"

"But…"

"It's okay…you already pinned him…"

"He…Elizabeth…he just…"

"We know. Let Thor and I deal with him. I promise."

"But…but…"

"Calm down…relax…everything will be okay…"

"…"

Mordo then uses the opportunity to strike back and unleashed a powerful sorcery-like blast, but Thor uses Mjolnir to summon lightning and uses them to repel Mordo's attacks, and there Strange uses his sorcery to try repel more of Mordo's blasts, and this caused an unexplained side effect, and a dimensional rift was formed, in which they are slowly sucked in.

But Mordo wasn't fazed and tried to press on with the attack, which forced Thor to back away with Strange pulling Meliodas with him, and the trio decided to try outrunning Mordo as they flew forward as they travelled within the dimensional limbo, and there Thor asked Strange what place is this.

Strange is unsure and told Thor that they need to find a safe place to land and find a way to stop Mordo from causing more trouble, which the Thunder God agrees, as they cannot afford to let Mordo land a fatal attack on any of them.

"Do you have any ideas, Strange?"

"Am thinking of one…"

"Now would be a good time…"

"Give me a moment…"

"Better hurry…"

"Don't rush me, Thor…"

"That guy can't wait…"

"!"

However, Mordo catches up and is about to hit Strange, but Meliodas managed to blindside Mordo and grappled with him, and there he angrily told him that he will pay for destroying Elizabeth's body, but the renegade sorcerer said it is no concern of his and all that matters is that he will kill Strange and take his sorcery talents away for his own personal use.

Mordo also made it clear that any who gets in his way will be killed, where he or she is innocent or not.

"Sorry. No exceptions."

"Damn you!"

"I will deal with this no matter who."

"Stop this right now!"

"No."

"Stop this…and I mean it!"

"Sorry. Anyone associated with Strange dies. You included."

"!"

Angered, Meliodas punched Mordo away, but the sorcerer fought back and attempted to regain the upper hand, and there he attempted to transport all of them towards the dimension where Dormamu resides, intending to have Dormamu kill Strange and the others while Mordo escape.

But Meliodas catches Mordo by surprise as he punched him on the nose as the sorcerer is attempting to make a spell, and the process went awry as everyone were transported to another dimension, and by the time everyone regain their senses, Strange and Thor looked baffled as they find themselves in the middle of a town, and it was different from what Modern Scotland looked like.

"Um…Strange…"

"Yes…"

"Where are we…?"

"Huh?"

"What kind of place is this…?"

"Don't know…"

"For real…?"

"Yeah."

Meliodas, however, recognized the area they are in, and told Strange and Thor that they are at the world where Meliodas came from: Britannia. Strange and Thor glanced at each other in surprise before turning towards Meliodas, and asked him if he is sure.

However, Mordo got up and is ready to resume the battle, but Strange urged Mordo to set aside any differences and think about returning to modern Earth, which Mordo doesn't appeared to be interested, saying that he can find his way back after killing Strange and Thor.

"Sorry. No exceptions."

"Mordo!"

"I will deal with this no matter who."

"Please stop this!"

"No."

"There's no reason for us to fight each other."

"Sorry. My goals are already set…and my targets die. You included."

"!"

Suddenly, demons appeared and are out for blood, which forced Meliodas to go on the offensive and began fighting off the largest one while Strange and Thor deal with the medium-sized ones.

Mordo observed the scene and felt that this might be better to let the demons in this dimension finish off Strange, believing that the Sorcerer Supreme has no means of making his way back to Scotland, and he took his leave as the battle rages on.

As Mordo is casting a spell to send himself back to modern Scotland, one of the demons struck him from behind, causing him to fall down and landed on the spot where Thor and Strange are fighting, and the result caused an unexpected effect as Mordo accidentally unleashed an explosive spell, which Strange is forced to weave a protection spell as he told Thor to get behind him.

"Thor!"

"What?"

"Get behind me!"

"…"

"Hurry!"

"Oh damn…!"

"Come on!"

"This just isn't my day…!"

The scene is covered in an explosive blast, where several seconds later the smoke cleared where the attacking demons were wiped out, and Meliodas lay there in a damaging heap, but there were no traces of Thor and Strange.

Even Mordo is nowhere to be found, and all that is left is Meliodas, where it took several minutes before he regain consciousness, due to his cursed immortality, and now he is alone once again, in his home world.

To Be Continued...

Hope you liked this chapter, though it ended in a tragedy…as Meliodas just witnessed another death involving Elizabeth…only this time at the hands of a mortal. This is a parallel showing of how someone got killed at the hands of the Green Goblin, and this time Spider-Man is not directly involved in any way…

At least the Goblin got his comeuppance, and in turn outed Loki, and a brawl is about to take place if not for the arrival of Thor and Strange…

But a new problem arises as Baron Mordo resurfaced, and is itching for a rematch…

And now they all ended back at Meliodas' world, which ended in a cliffhanger as Meliodas appeared to be the only one left whilst Strange and Thor's fates are up in the air…

Preview:

Meliodas attempted to move on with his life now that he is back in Liones…but at the same time he would form the Nanatsu no Taizai…

See you in February 2021…
