Chapter 7: Powering Up
'Sebastian, tell me my rank.' Meliodas asks Sebastian, as he wants to know his cultivation rank.
[Young master, congratulations for reaching cultivation Rank 8 / Level 3.]
'Sebastian, show me my status.' Meliodas asks Sebastian lightly.

'Sebastian, don't show primordial too many times, and simplify my status.' Meliodas asks Sebastian, as he is too irritated to see primordial everywhere.
[As you wish, young master.]

As my innate art is to create any art in accordance to my power level, why don't I create a devour art that allows me to devour the essence of things to fuel my cultivation rank, thus increasing my power level? As this thought comes into his mind, Meliodas thinks he is too smart and starts using his innate art to create the devour ability.
[Congratulations, young master, on creating the ability "DEVOUR."]

Should I go out and kill some spirit beasts? No, if I kill them, the storyline might be implicated, and I don't want to implicate the storyline for now, as how much fun will it be to take everything from Tang san when he reaches the top? Hahahahaha, I really want to see his face crumbling while I steal everything.
Am I a bad guy? No, I am not. I am doing this only because of the villain points. Yes, but only for villain points. Yes, for villain points only. Okay, let's not lose my shit now, shall we? After fighting his inner demons for quite some time Meliodas comes to the conclusion that he should wait for Tang San to reach the top and then steal everything.
'Sebastian, buy me some beast corpses to increase my cultivation from the shop, but leave 500 villain points for emergency use.' Meliodas instructs Sebastian.
[As you command, young master.]
Meliodas waits in anticipation as he wants to increase his attack power.
[Ding! Deducting 600 Villain Points.]
[Congratulations, young master, for purchasing
* 20x Ancient Wyvern corpses for 100VP
* 10x Dragon corpses for 100VP
* 10x Phoenix corpses for 100VP
* 10x Ancient Dragon corpses for 150VP
* 10x Ancient Phoenix corpses for 150VP]
[Young master, please devour in ascending order.]
Meliodas asks, 'Why?'
[Young master, as your power level increases, your ability to devour strong corpses also increases, and if your power level is not high enough, you won't be able to devour the corpse.]
Meliodas says, 'I know, I was just checking how good you are.'
[- - - - -] Even Sebastian has no words to say to this shameless host of his.
'DEVOUR'. Meliodas, even without feeling awkward, uses his ability to devour the corpses and embraces the feeling of his increasing strength. After devouring all the cakes, he feels ecstatic, as he has clearly never felt so strong.
'Sebastian show status.' Meliodas says while grinning happily.
[Status]

{Power Rank : Rank 13/ Level 11}
{Cultivation Rank : Rank 13/ Level 1}
{Ability : Devour}
{Villain Points : 500}
Hahaha, now let's create some abilities.
First, I want the ability to control time and space. Let's create the ability "ABSOLUTE CONTROL," as it will help me to control anything according to my power level.
Second, I want the ability "GATE OF BABYLON" with all the weapons that were collected by Gilgamesh.
Third, I want the geass of lelouch but remove the restriction so that it can be used even if there is no eye contact, like through will, so it will be the ability "ABSOLUTE OBEDIENCE."
'For now, these will do.' Meliodas thinks in his heart while feeling quite happy after creating these abilities and asks Sebastian to show their status.

{Villain Points : 500}
Meliodas, after checking his status, feels that it is enough for now and should talk with Bibi Dong and Obito and guide them on the right path. But as soon as he opens the group chat -
[Group Chat]
{Loki: Queen, how are you feeling while being carried by your future husband?}
{Cai Lin: Don't you have any work to do? and he is not my husband.}
{Loki: Yeah, I know he is not your husband.}
{Aizen: Loki, are you sick?}
{Obito: He is sick.}
{Bibi Dong: Yes, I believe too that he is sick.}
{Cai Lin: It's good that you know it.}
{Loki: Obviously, he is not your husband, as you both will marry after you propose to him.}
{Cai Lin: Loki Now it is enough. Don't test my patience or I will beat you.}
{Meliodas D. Zaoldyeck: Okay, everyone, now that I have finished my work, it is time to work. Bibi Dong and Obito, are you both free now? And you three, after guiding them, will all meet, so be prepared.}
{Bibi Dong: Yes boss.}
{Obito: Yes boss.}
{Loki: Ok boss.}
{Cai Lin: Ok boss.}
{Aizen: Ok boss.}
{Meliodas D. Zaoldyeck: Bibi Dong, can we meet at your place as Obito lives underground and you both won't be able to bear the pressure of my place? Obito, don't worry; the time of your universe will be paused while you are away.}
[- - - -] Sebastion feels like his host is a bit too shameless.
Meliodas, who lives in a slum hut himself, makes Obito's life fun, and he does not feel even a little embarrassed, while Obito, after seeing the comment of Meliodas, feels embarrassed.
{Bibi Dong: Yes, boss, I will make the arrangements. Please wait.}
Bibi Dong, knowing that Meliodas and Obito will be coming to her place, goes to the secret hall and asks her servants to prepare food and drinks.
Bibi Dong, after checking that everything is prepared, posted a message in group chat.
{Bibi Dong: Boss, you and Obito can come now.}
{Meliodas D. Zaoldyeck: Thank you, Bibi Dong. Obito, send me a request to allow you to go to her location.}
{Bibi Dong: Mention not boss.}
{Obito: Done boss.}
{Ding! Obito asks permission to go to Douluo Dalu Universe.} {Allow/Decline}
Meliodas, after granting Obito's request, clicks 'Allow,' while opening the portal to go to Bibi Dong's location and goes inside.
