Nanatsu no Taizai, Chapter 134: To You, Who Are No Longer My Captain
Overall it continues from last chapter's cliffhanger. We get a short fight between King and Meliodas, with King controlling the stick from afar while Meliodas just bats it around all awesome like.The people outside are all confused, while Meliodas just dodges King's question and is all like "I'm only your enemy if you attack Elizabeth and the others". King's stick is fast enough to cut Meliodas a bit, and while Meliodas catches King's stick, he uses an ability called 'Status Promotion' which makes the small cut on Meliodas' shoulder just splurts apart with blood and stuff. King has a bit of a rant about how he can't really figure out Meliodas' agenda, whatever the fuck it is, and just confronts Meliodas about whether he has any intentions of fighting the Ten Commandments.
Merlin explains to the spectators that the 'Status Promotion' is King's innate power, 'Disaster', which has been woefully under-explained beyond the fact that it allows King to levitate Chastiefol and turn it into multiple forms. Merlin notes that Disaster allows King control over life and death, allowing him to turn tiny scratches into large wounds, harmless poisons into lethal ones, and grow tumours into massive sizes and whatnot, allowing King to control the plants in the Fairy Forest.
So, um, there have been many times where King could've used that to, y'know, regrow the Fairy King Tree or whatever. Or make tiny wounds into fatal. King, god damn it, you get even more and more overpowered, don't you? First the Bankai, now this...
King uses Status Promotion again, which is Full Countered by Meliodas, but it doesn't show anything significant to King other than a backache in a latter page, which is curious. Meliodas then pushes King's own buttons by asking King about his lack of wings, a sore point for King himself. King uses 'Condense Power' to pull out a tiny water droplet from his stick of wood, and starts manipulating the droplet, apparently drawing out the tiny water within the tree, and compressing the water into a small space, giving it enough strength as an iron ball.
Guess someone just watched Ant-Man and got some inspiration, eh?
(Ant-Man was awesome. I haven't done movie reviews for a long, long time, but take it from me -- Jurassic World, Terminator: Genisys and Ant-Man were absolutely awesome.)
Meliodas, meanwhile, pulls a Hauser-Gilthunder and learns from King, concentrating his own demonic power into a single glowing dark ball. But before he can attack King, the druids demand they exit. King tells Meliodas that Ban and Diane trust Meliodas from the bottom of their hearts, and he won't forgive Meliodas if he betrays that trust. Meliodas admits that he can't tell King everything, and he won't believe him anyway. King accepts this answer, but tells Meliodas that he'll still be keeping an eye.
Overall good stuff. Unnecessary and kind of just padding, but it's good for what it does.
King brings up something Meliodas says to him when they first met, but then brushes it off again. Meliodas, meanwhile, makes up a cover story of the two of them getting into an argument over which is better, tits or asses. Oh, Meliodas.
The rest of the chapter is just Jenna summoning this gigantic Goddess Amber containing Meliodas' power, and it is just gigantic. Jenna does an incantation that unleashes Meliodas' power, which just turns the whole nearby area into darkness, which showcases just how fucking powerful Meliodas is. It all gets sucked into Meliodas and does some big explody stuff that blows water and whatnot away. The Ten Commandments are all aware of what is happening, but Meliodas is now at full power.
Good stuff! Now get to the war with the Commandments. Please! Enough with the training.
