Chapter 674 Meliodas’s Request

"Surpassing the Demon King isn't easy at all. Can you lend me that scepter?"

Merlin asked somewhat pleasingly. She knew it was a lot to ask for, but she really desired the power of the scepter. However, as long as she had a functioning brain, she should be able to understand that this thing definitely wasn't something she could easily control.

Asahi's origins were too mysterious, and his power was almost unmatched. The abilities of the scepter in his hand were also extraordinary. In this case, Merlin has no way to get it into her own hands.

This thing was like the core of the world. As even the Demon King and the Supreme Deity were recorded in it. It would be strange if it weren't terrifying, and she didn't think that she could master such a thing.

But she still longed for... many magics, and this scepter was... essential for it, that's why she couldn't help but speak up.

"You can't use this scepter, only I can wield it, as it already recognized me as its master. Besides, why should I lend it to you? Give me a reason!"

Asahi asked somewhat amusedly. This scepter was his possession. In someone else's hands, it would just become a rather hard weapon. At least in terms of hardness, no one in this world could destroy it.

But why should he lend it to Merlin? He told King these things because in the original work, these people caused all sorts of trouble. So to prevent such situations from arising, he told King these things.

But that didn't mean he could tell everything to anyone.

"What a despicable man!"

Merlin was also helpless. She really couldn't think of a reason to let Asahi lent the scepter. Money? Someone as strong as Asahi definitely won't lack money. So she didn't have anything else to offer except herself. And she was quite self-loving, she wouldn't easily fall for someone.

Even when facing the original Escanor's level of admiration, she remained unmoved, only giving a response at the end. It could only be said that Merlin was always... proud and looked down on others…

Perhaps she would fall for Arthur later, but she hadn't met Arthur yet, so for now, she was just a pauper who couldn't offer anything, which was quite frustrating.

Marlin could only think about how to borrow this scepter at this moment, but it seemed that she couldn't come up with anything in the short term.

In the end, the group dispersed temporarily, each going about their own business. As for Diane, she followed Asahi, like a little sister. Except for her 'giant' body, she really was like a little sister.

At least in terms of age, giants and humans are completely different concepts.

Time flew by, and after a few days, Meliodas and Ban, who went to find the last person, Gowther, are back. But after returning, Ban is speechless, because King had apologized to him directly, leaving Ban initially dumbfounded.

But soon after learning that King was Elaine's brother, Ban, without saying a word, just gave King a punch. The reason was simple: at that time, King, as an elder brother and a king, failed to protect the Fairy King's Forest, his own territory, which led to its destruction.

At this moment, Ban was truly angry, not only because of King's inaction but also due to the destruction caused.

However, after talking with King, although it couldn't be said that they were close friends, at least there wouldn't be any more conflicts between them. Afterwards, Meliodas also learned some things about the scepter.

So after that, he directly went to find Asahi, because he also had someone he cared about, Elizabeth. Because of Elizabeth, he betrayed the Demon Clan, ultimately leading to Demon Clan being sealed directly during the war.

Although almost all of the Goddess Clan had died, Meliodas still wanted to lift the curse now.

Unfortunately, his abilities made it difficult to do so unless he reached the level of the Demon King. So he was trying to find a way to improve himself.

Now, he sees hope. If Asahi helped him, perhaps he could lift the curse without relying solely on himself, which wouldn't be a bad thing, right?

"Lifting... the curse, huh? That's doable. It's not a difficult task. I can help you, partly because I find you somewhat agreeable!"

These two had experienced many separations and reunions throughout countless cycles, leaving Asahi somewhat speechless. So lending a hand… was also fine.

"Is it really okay? Thank you so much!"

Meliodas was completely astonished. If it was really possible, that would be fantastic. However, Asahi also couldn't quite understand. Since both the Demon King and the Supreme Deity could grant immortality to Meliodas, why couldn't they make themselves immortal? The fact that the Demon King even thought of taking over his own son's body was ludicrous. They say a tiger doesn't eat its cubs, but the Demon King raised his own son just to make himself stronger, that's all.

Being able to grant immortality to others but not oneself and needing someone else's body- thinking about it was ludicrous. In certain aspects, the Demon King was somewhat pathetic.

Soon, King followed Meliodas to the royal palace and saw Elizabeth, who was still just a child. The current Elizabeth, who had just learned to walk, could not even run yet.

It would take some time before she could run normally, probably when the Seven Deadly Sins went on the run.

After Asahi arrived, with just a snap of his fingers, two very strange curses appeared over their heads, indicating that something was off.

Snap!

However, both of these curses couldn't withstand Asahi's snapping fingers. After a snap, both curses vanished into thin air, without needing the Supreme Deity or the Demon King.

Normally, these curses could only be broken after the caster's death. As long as they lived, the curses would persist and regenerate.

But for Asahi, being unable to break curses meant only one thing: their strength was insufficient. long as the strength was enough, these curses were established by other beings could always be overcome.

Regardless of….

No matter how strong the opponent, no matter what kind of being they were, as long as their power is surpassed, they could be dealt with.

Regardless of….

No matter what world it was, there were no problems that couldn't be solved. If it truly couldn't be solved, it meant the ability is not enough... the strength is not enough…

He can easily break the curse of the Demon King without the death of the Demon King. It was ridiculously simple.

Seeing the curses disappear from their heads, Meliodas was also completely stunned. He never expected it to be so simple.

"Although the curses have been lifted, if you want her memories to be restored, you still need to wait for her to slowly recover it herself."

Asahi said, pointing at Elizabeth. Her memories would need to awaken naturally, and he wouldn't intervene about it.
