The Supreme Deity attacks because she views the Sins as a threat, even though they defeated the Demon King. She intends to destroy them to end the Holy War entirely, believing the Sins' existence perpetuates the conflict between the goddess and demon races. Her plan is to wipe out both sides to prevent any future challenges to divine authority.

Meliodas discovers through his shared memories with the Demon King that the gods were created specifically to fight each other, meaning the Holy War was never a moral conflict but merely a game played by the divine beings. Using this knowledge, Meliodas and Zeldris combine their powers to overpower the Supreme Deity, though she warns that her death will unleash chaos upon the world.

Merlin tells Arthur that with the Supreme Deity's demise, the Age of Humans and Chaos can truly begin. This refers to a new era where humans are no longer controlled or influenced by the warring god factions, the Demon King and Supreme Deity. Arthur's role as king becomes central to this new age, as the balance of power shifts away from the divine beings who have manipulated mortal affairs.

Escanor, the Lion Sin of Pride, is absent because he sacrificed his life during the final battle against the Demon King in the main series. His death marked the great cost of victory mentioned in the movie's description. The Sins disbanded after this loss, and the movie takes place six months later with each Sin pursuing their own journey.

Foreshadowing: The movie's opening establishes that peace came at a great cost, specifically referencing Escanor's sacrifice.

The attacks are coordinated by Dahlia and Dubs as part of their revenge plan against the Sins. They use enchanted weapons to control fairies and giants, sending them to attack both locations at once, the Fairy King's Forest where King and Diane are marrying, and Liones where Bartra's coronation is taking place. This strategic timing is meant to overwhelm the Sins and their allies.

Foreshadowing: The timeline shows both events occurring during the same period, and earlier the demon warned of the fairy-giant takeover in the Demon World.

The enchanted weapons crafted by Dubs maintain Dahlia's enchantment over the controlled fairies and giants. The Sins defeat the attacks by disarming these weapons, which breaks the enchantment and frees the mind-controlled forces. This reveals the core weakness of Dahlia and Dubs's plan, the enchantment depends entirely on the physical weapons.
