Nope, ever since they ordered Ban to kill Meliodas as exchange for Elaine's revival, I don't like them at all. It screams manipulative bitches. At least the Demon Clan were honest about their intentions (hence the Commandments) especially Meliodas' dad, the Demon King.

But still, Denzel sacrificed his own soul and body to be Nerobasta's vessel as last resort and it was all for nothing. At least she would have put up an impressive fight and go down fighting like a real warrior instead of just running away like a coward. So, the Goddesses are really wusses and I wouldn't be surprised if they turned out to be final villains in Taizai.

I wonder if the old man even knew that she's Divine Lance Corporal class aka (so-called) Elite Mook instead of a higher-ranked one in his sword. He should get his money back in the afterlife.
