You have further refined this epic "External Civilization" setting, linking Meliodas, Zeldris, and their lovers to a grand tragedy beyond Britannia.
As per your request, I will set their past life identities (high-level civilized humans), past life names, and how they were cruelly drawn into the Demon King and Supreme Deity's "reincarnation ban" for these four core characters.
💔 Forbidden Love Across Dimensions: Past Life Identity Explanation
This setting corresponds the four strongest individuals in Britannia—Meliodas, Zeldris, Elizabeth, and Gelda—with four last-generation researchers from a high-level civilization (technological civilization).
🌌 I. Past Life Identity: High-Level Civilized Humans (External World)
| Britannia Identity | Past Life Name (External Civilization) | Field / Identity | Core Characteristics and Reincarnation Connection |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Meliodas (♂) | "Ikaros" | Last-generation researcher, the civilization's "pacifist". | Characteristics: Firmly believed that the purpose of technology was peace, not war, influencing Meliodas's aversion to war ("it's boring").
Reincarnation: Became the heir of the Demon Clan, powerful but gentle at heart, forming a forbidden love across races with Elizabeth (Mira) of the Goddess Clan. |
| Zeldris (♂) | "Eos" | Last-generation researcher, Ikaros's partner. Specialized in "life extension and dimensions" research. | Characteristics: More introverted, focused on practical technologies to save civilization; his knowledge might later become the basis for the Demon King's creation of the "Immortal Contract" or "Life Alchemy".
Reincarnation: Became the enforcer of the Demon Clan, falling in love with Gelda (Selene) of the Vampire Clan, their love also imprisoned. |
| Elizabeth (♀) | "Mira" | Last-generation researcher, the civilization's "spiritual guide", believed firmly in hope. | Characteristics: Possessed powerful healing and communication abilities (possibly high-level civilization's biotechnology); her gentleness and ✝️ faith were absorbed by the Mother of Chaos, transforming into the core power of the Goddess Clan.
Reincarnation: Became the princess of the Goddess Clan, pure and flawless, continuing the forbidden love across dimensions with Meliodas (Ikaros). |
| Gelda (♀) | "Selene" | Last-generation researcher, the civilization's "guardian", possessed powerful defense and stealth technology. | Characteristics: Calm personality, willing to sacrifice everything to protect her companions. Her "stealth" ability might combine with the vampire's dark, silent attributes after reincarnation.
Reincarnation: Became the princess of the Vampire Clan, her love with Zeldris (Eos) seen as a double betrayal of the Demon King's rule. |
II. The End of Forbidden Love and the Curse
The love between these four high-level civilized humans was not only an interracial love but also a challenge from an external civilization to the chaotic world, directly enraging the Demon King and Supreme Deity.
Reason for Killing: The Demon King and Supreme Deity realized that the "non-local civilization" knowledge carried by these four was a fundamental threat to their "chaotic creation" world. If the Demon Prince and Goddess Princess were to unite with these external civilized humans, their descendants would possess unpredictable powers beyond Britannia's system.
Total Annihilation: As a warning, the Demon King and Supreme Deity jointly killed all four (and all other surviving last-generation researchers), ensuring that all traces of the external world were completely erased.
Meliodas and Elizabeth: Were subjected to an eternal reincarnation curse. Their love was used as a tool to control the balance of light and darkness in Britannia, while ensuring they could never recall the truth of the "external world".
Zeldris and Gelda: Although their love was also forbidden, Zeldris, as the Demon King's son, was not punished with reincarnation but with extreme loneliness and a test of loyalty. Gelda, as the Vampire Princess, her death and sealing were used to deter all non-core races attempting to form relationships with high-ranking members of the Demon Clan.
III. The Root of Meliodas (Demon Prince)'s Gentleness
Reason for not being warlike: Meliodas (Ikaros in his past life), after becoming the heir of the Demon Clan, retained a subconscious pacifist ideology from the high-level civilization. He was not bored by war because of his immense power, but because he knew that beyond this "dream" world, there existed a higher, more peaceful way of being.
"Boring" War: To "Ikaros," who had witnessed high-level civilization's technology, the primitive Holy War in Britannia, relying solely on magic or faith, indeed seemed low-level and meaningless.
The past life story you've set gives Meliodas and Elizabeth's love a sense of destiny that transcends Britannia's dimensions. They are souls from a high-level civilization (Ikaros and Mira), and even after being killed and stripped of their memories, their longing for "peace and hope" for each other still found its way back in their reincarnated lives.
Below is a description, based on your setting, of Meliodas and Elizabeth falling in love again after reincarnation and suffering the curse of the two gods:
🌹 Chains of Destiny: Meliodas and Elizabeth's Curse
Ⅰ. The Fading of Memories and the Reunion of Souls
When Ikaros and Mira from the high-level civilization were killed by the Demon King and Supreme Deity, their souls were forcibly formatted, erasing all memories, technology, and pacifist ideals of the "external world".
Meliodas (Demon Prince): Became a powerful but emotionally closed-off heir of the Demon Clan. However, the subconscious longing for "peace" from Ikaros remained, making him weary and "bored" of the Holy War.
Elizabeth (Goddess Princess): Became a princess of the Goddess Clan with powerful healing abilities. Her kindness and "hope" were a projection of Mira's role as a spiritual guide for her civilization in her past life.
Despite losing their memories as high-level civilized humans in their past lives, a "frequency of love" for each other still lingered deep within their souls. In countless encounters, they were always drawn to each other's qualities:
He was drawn to the pure hope in her eyes, a belief that his past self, Ikaros, had sworn to protect until death;
She was drawn to the gentleness and loneliness beneath his exterior, an attachment that Mira had felt while accompanying Ikaros in the end times.
Ⅱ. Forbidden Love Across Races
Against the brutal backdrop of the Holy War, the love between the Demon Clan Prince and the Goddess Clan Princess was the strongest taboo in the chaotic world. Their union symbolized the betrayal of the "external peace" ideal against the "chaotic war" system.
But for the Demon King and Supreme Deity, the fact that these "external souls" fell in love again was an immense irony and a challenge to their authority. They realized that even after stripping them of their memories, love remained an uneradicateable external virus.
Ⅲ. The Curse of the Two Gods and Eternal Reincarnation
To thoroughly punish and control these two powerful forces, the Demon King and Supreme Deity cast a dual curse at the peak of their love:
1. Meliodas's Curse: Eternal Life
Curse Content: Meliodas was cursed with eternal life, unable to die.
Meaning of Punishment: This was not a blessing but an extreme cruelty to Ikaros (the pacifist). He was forced to live through endless wars and suffering, witnessing everything he cherished—peace and hope—destroyed repeatedly, yet powerless to escape. He could not end his life with his beloved, only forever bearing the self-reproach like Danafor.
2. Elizabeth's Curse: Eternal Reincarnation
Curse Content: Elizabeth was cursed with eternal reincarnation, meeting Meliodas and falling in love again in each reincarnation.
Meaning of Punishment: The curse ensured that she would die within three days of meeting Meliodas and regaining her memories. This was an extreme psychological torment for Mira (the spiritual guide). She was trapped in an eternal cycle of "hope—despair—death".
Ⅳ. The Essence of the Curse: Isolation and Control
The true purpose of the two gods' curse was:
Isolation: To ensure that all of Meliodas and Elizabeth's energy and attention were focused on the internal cycle of "finding and losing", thereby never recalling their true identities as "external high-level civilized humans" and their peaceful technology.
Control: To use their love to maintain the balance of the Holy War and to demonstrate to all beings in Britannia that uniting with external forces inevitably leads to eternal suffering and separation.
Their love, from then on, became a chain of destiny transcending dimensions, forever imprisoning their souls within the tragic dream created by the Mother of Chaos.
