The Purgatory Demons, the Star Sea's All Spirits, and the Five Great Malignancies hoped to see the Seven Deadly Sins fight the Light Alliance to the bitter end. But the Five Great Malignancies had no intention of letting those people have their way.
They got to decide how this war was fought. It wasn't anyone else's place to worry about it.
