Hendrickson reveals that he developed the New Generation and his demonic powers from studying the corpse of the Red Demon that destroyed the Fairy King's Forest, with Ban pummeling Hendrickson through the ground before destroying the corpse. Meliodas, Ban, King and Gowther jump down after Hendrickson, finding him injecting himself with the blood from the corpse of a gray demon to become a full demon as he overpowers the knights upon returning to the surface. Hendrickson reveals that he needs Elizabeth's blood to complete the ritual and release the demons back into the world, killing Hawk when he sacrifices himself to shield Meliodas while he protects Elizabeth. The shock of Hawk's death causes an unaware Elizabeth to reveal her dormant powers as a goddess's apostle, healing everyone while slightly damaging Hendrickson.
