"Wouldn't Chaos be a god though?" Mavros asked as he snapped his fingers to stop a fire spell from Monspeet.

"I guess. However, she doesn't really have true power. As it can only be used by others."

Neither Prime nor Mavros acted as if they cared that they were being attacked as they had their conversation out loud.

"He is just playing with us!" We don't even stand a chance!" Gloxina yelled.

Everyone was thinking the same thing, but they knew they had to fight or it was death.

"This is getting boring," Mavros said, as he slashed his hand like a claw as flames spiraled toward them.

Zeldris jumped in front of everyone as magic enveloped him as if being attracted to him. Everyone else was protected and those who knew the ability that Zeldris had didn't make a reaction, but the ones in the cage were another story.

"They're doomed. They lost their strongest fighter." Ban said, hugging Elaine to his side.

"No, Zeldris is alive. He is immune to magic attacks." Elizabeth mentioned, watching the scene. "However, they're going to die either way."

Zeldris walked out of the flames, not a scratch on him from the flames. However, he did have a hole in his vest from the heart that was destroyed.

"You're acting like you don't care, Elizabeth. Don't you love the captain?" Diane yelled, in anger.

Smiling as she hugged her legs as she didn't divert her eyes from the battle.

"Of course. I'm just not naive." As Elizabeth watched Prime side-step a kick from Meliodas. While grabbing his leg and tossing him into Monspeet. With a force that broke Meliodas's leg.

"Are you sure it isn't because of your feelings for Prime?" Gowther asked, curiously while staring at Elizabeth's reaction. As he could read the emotions she felt while talking about her past with Prime and he didn't read any hate.

"I don't know." She didn't deny the words Gowther asked as everyone else was in shock.

"How could you love someone like that? Someone so evil they hurt those closest to him. The way you're acting is just as heartless."

"Is it? I'm not seeing it that way. Earlier he mentioned we lived together for two hundred years but skewed my time. So, it felt longer for me. I was expecting we would be together for twenty-three thousand years." Her words stunned everyone as she continued talking. "Of course, it was only two hundred though. Either way, during that time the children we had were the only rays of hope I had. He only let me see them through his gates but watching them grow up filled me with more happiness than I ever felt with Meliodas."

"I guess, I'm saying if Meliodas has to die for me to see my children again... so be it."

King got angry as he grabbed Elizabeth's shoulder. Not even thinking, he raised a fist to punch her. As he did, he felt a current of electricity course through his body as he screamed in pain. Before being forced to let go and collapsing to the ground as his body slightly smoked.

Elizabeth didn't react as she expected these remembering words from Prime. Everyone else screamed in shock while checking King's wounds.

'You are mine and mine alone. No one shall have you.'

"I see those words still have meaning."

Still watching the battle, Elizabeth noticed Prime's gaze land on her. As he heard what she had said. His eyes were black like looking into the Abyss, so she knew it was Prime looking at her. When a smirk appeared on his face, she felt a shiver down her spine.

"She is under his protection. No matter what we do we wouldn't be able to harm her. Must feel great to have someone with such power watching you."

Elizabeth laughed at the words she heard the words Merlin say. As even one with her knowledge was this naive.

"I may be under his protection, but that hardly makes me safe. I meant what I said earlier, 'Prime is a friend to none.' I'm more like a trophy for him. Maybe in some dark twisted way, he cares or wishes to, but his darkness is all-consuming."

"Sometimes in the darkest places, we find the brightest lights," Elaine said, looking at Elizabeth with a serious look.

"You think so?"

"I know so. Prime may have killed me and defiled me in timelines I can't remember, but the memories I do have of him. He truly tried to care for me. The joy on his face, as he played with me, couldn't have all been fake."

"Believe what you want. Prime is pure evil."

"You say he is pure evil. However, you love him. Hearts work in such mysterious ways. How can you love the one you obviously hate?"

"Gowther, I... I don't have an answer for you."

Mavros POV:-

'Quite amusing that she loves us. We tortured her for centuries before letting her return to Meliodas. She never let him touch her the same way we did. We would have killed him if he tried until she understood this.'

'It seems the memories are merging with you faster than expected. Which means Hikari will be waking up soon. Probably by the time we finish here, she will be awake. However, you are correct that 'we' are a possessive being. Probably because of the Abyss's influence.'

'Then again, I was always willing to go to extreme lengths to... protect what I believed to be mine. Even if it wasn't. The Abyss probably just intensified this feeling. As I noticed that since everything came from it, I had a desire to devour everything of high power. Like it was enraged at being separated from itself. That's what made Hikari so difficult to not hurt. As she was the strongest being second to us. Made directly from my being.'
