Ch. 14: Sebun no keisei
The scene shows that the smoke cleared up, and there you can see that Dr. Strange and Thor appeared unharmed as it turns out that Strange uses a spell to create a protective barrier which protected him and the Asgardian thunder god, and there they checked their surroundings and find themselves back at financial district within Scotland.
Both realized that they are back in their own world and yet the damage is still evident, and noted that neither Mordo or Meliodas are present. Recalling what occurred, both assume that Meliodas is back to his home world, and hoped that he has found peace.
By then Thor saw Loki sneaking his way out and he stopped him, and said that Loki is in a huge heap of trouble after what he has done.
"Hold it right there, Loki."
"Um…"
"You have a lot to answer for."
"Can't you cut me a break?"
"No."
"Please…?"
"No means no."
"Come on, brother…"
As Thor carries a pleading Loki away, Strange wondered what would happen to Meliodas now that he is back to his home world, and how he would cope in losing an incarnation of Elizabeth, and whether he would find a way to break the curse bestowed upon him unwillingly.
By then, the helmet-less Green Goblin showed up, demanding to know where Meliodas is as he has a score to settle, and Strange asked why he is so obsessed with Meliodas, only to say when told that Meliodas insulted him by saying that he is William Dafoe.
"That's your reason…?"
"Indeed! It is an insult to me!"
"Come on…"
"Bring him out! He must confess! I am not a spitting image of William Dafoe!"
"Goodness…"
"I'm not him, you hear?"
"Go home already…"
"I'm not William Dafoe!"
Thor glared at Loki as he realized that his half-brother's antics are the cause of all this and said that he will answer everything, which Loki begged to give him some slack, but Thor said he will have to face the music and take responsibility for his actions.
"Had you behaved like a good boy, you wouldn't be in this mess."
"But…"
"What's done is done. You will have to take responsibility."
"Please…just for old time's sake…?"
"No."
"But…"
"Can it, Loki."
"…"
However, Norman Osborn is slowly losing his mind and vented his foolishness towards Thor and proclaims that he will not let anyone compare him to William Dafoe, and this slowly pissed the thunder god off as Osborn's antics slowly riled him up.
"You listen here!"
"What…?"
"I'm not William Dafoe, you here?"
"Geez…"
"I'm not William Dafoe!"
"In the name of my Asgardian father…just get lost already!"
"I am not William Dafoe!"
"Do you want me to use Mjolnir on you?"
As Thor is about to lose his cool, Strange uses his sorcery to restrain Osborn and summoned paramedics, and once Osborn is taken away, Strange tells Thor to deal with Loki, which Thor nodded and thanks him while apologized for what Loki caused, though the Sorcerer Supreme assured that all is fine.
"Really…I'm sorry for what Loki did…"
"Oh, it's fine."
"Really?"
"Yes, really."
"…"
"Better got now…"
"Okay."
"See you."
As Thor departed and took Loki with him, Strange summoned Wong and both began to survey the damage and figure out a way to address the situation as they searched for Elizabeth's body and plan to give her a proper burial.

The scene shifts to Britannia, where Meliodas slowly got up and went back to the town of Liones, where he joined other citizens in picking up what is left, and there he slowly got his bearings back as he helped the citizens recover from the ordeal, and the city eventually regained its lost glory and he soon became a Knight of the kingdom of Liones.
In the years that passed, Meliodas met, befriended and formed alliances with several persons he met throughout his journeys, ranging from an immortal, a magician, a doll and even a giantess. The persons that he met are:
- Ban
- Escanor
- Merlin
- Diane
- King
- Gowther
There the seven allied persons became close and their comradery got stronger as they fought Invaders and demons, and the six were granted knighthood from the ruler of Liones, and along with Meliodas, the group were dubbed as the Seven Deadly Sins.
Soon Meliodas met a talking pig named Hawks, and through him they found a place to hangout, and they enjoyed each other's company as they dine, drank and discussed topics related to their recent and current adventures.
"Oh…so that's…"
"You're a really funny guy."
"You sure made a lot of adventures…"
"You should let us tag along with you…"
"Can you really dance even though you're a giant?"
"Of course!"
"Can you really do magic, Merlin?"
"Want me to try it?"
The Seven Deadly Sins operated as a unit and went through various battles and protected the kingdom of Liones, earning respect and admiration from the citizens as they defeated various invaders and monsters that attempted to take over the city, and the seven emerged victorious.
This led to many positive word of mouth comments from the citizens as they became their staunchest supporters.
"The seven are great!"
"Heroic knights!"
"We're grateful to them!"
"They should be rewarded!"
"Yes, make them honorary citizens!"
"I agree!"
"Let's vote!"
"Sure!"
-x-
However, an unspecified incident took place which led to the disappearance of the Seven Deadly Sins, and this made the citizens spread word, and they became worried as the city would be vulnerable to attacks from invaders and monsters.
"Where are they?"
"Where did they go?"
"Did something happened to them…?"
"This is bad…"
"What will happen to our town?"
"Who will protect us?"
"Oh dear…"
"We got to find them!"
A quiet coup d'etat took place and the traitors took control of the kingdom and made it appear that the Seven Deadly Sins were behind the king's disappearance, which confused the townsfolk and soon took the traitors' word for it.
"What?"
"That can't be!"
"No way!"
"That's not true!"
"It's a lie!"
"They would never do that!"
"We won't believe you!"
"The Seven will return!"
However, the princess of Liones, Elizabeth, managed to escape and attempted to find the Seven, as she is sure that they are innocent and that they are the only ones who can save her father, who is held captive at the hands of the traitors.
A series of events led Elizabeth to meet with Meliodas, and he soon became her protector, as he saved her from the pursuing knights whose orders were to murder her discreetly, and as the two were on the run, they came across various situations which led to meeting with the rest of the Seven, and slowly the Seven were reunited, and they resolve to clear their names and free the king from the hands of the traitors.
"So…are we in agreement?"
"Yeah!"
"Let's liberate Liones!"
"Clear our name!"
"Rescue the king!"
"And kick those traitors out of town!"
"Hey, Meliodas! Why are you peeking at Elizabeth's skirt?"
"EEEKKK!"
Elizabeth and the Seven then embark on a series of adventures, and slowly took out several villains and little by little they managed to clear their names yet the traitors still persists as they summoned dark wizards and demons, and sent them to attack the Seven, but the Seven repulsed them and soon confronted the one behind all this, and the mastermind began to make a GATE that connects to another dimension, and Merlin suspect that it might spell disaster if the mastermind manage to chant the forbidden incantation.
She told her fellow Seven to stop the mastermind no matter what.
"Stop him! I'll try to counter the spell!"
"Okay!"
"Got it!"
"Leave it to us!"
"We're counting on you, Merlin!"
"We will handle the rest!"
"We won't let you down!"
"Yeah!"
As Meliodas grappled onto the mastermind, Diane, Ban and Escanor began wrecking the pillars while Merlin does a counter incantation, and the gate slowly exploded, which vaporized the demons and other evil elements, thus the town is saved, but once again the Seven Deadly Sins disappeared, and the townsfolk wondered if the Seven perished.
