Mael

Lore & Background

Mael appears in the 2021 film *The Seven Deadly Sins: Cursed by Light*, which takes place exactly halfway through the last episode of the fourth season and covers the manga's last chapter. In the film, after the Seven Deadly Sins defeat an army of fairies and giants in Liones, Mael arrives to warn everyone of an attack by the revived Goddess Race. The Goddess Race is acting under direct orders from the Supreme Deity herself. The Supreme Deity had been observing the Sins' actions through Elizabeth's eyes. She commends the Sins for defeating the Demon King, yet intends to destroy them for ending the Holy War by any means. Mael's warning sets the stage for the Supreme Deity's subsequent confrontation with the Sins, Meliodas, and Zeldris.

In Their Own Story

Mael's role in the film is as a messenger. He arrives in Liones to alert the Seven Deadly Sins and their allies that the revived Goddess Race is about to attack, acting on the direct orders of the Supreme Deity. This warning proves crucial, as the Supreme Deity soon appears and overpowers the group. She explains that the conflict between the Demon and Goddess Clans is needed to maintain balance in the world. Meliodas then reveals that his time being possessed by the Demon King allowed him to view his father's memories, showing that the two gods were created to battle one another, treating the Holy War as merely an amusing game. The Supreme Deity is ultimately destroyed by Meliodas and Zeldris, despite warning them that her death would issue an era of chaos.
