Chaos consumed the monsters one by one with a lot of appetite, accompanied by the ale and the people at his side that spoke about various interesting topics, time went flying by and he decided to assess his gains after some time.
He had gained a stupendous amount of new Skills, many of them seemed strong on their own, and would easily stack up with the rest to quickly raise Chaos strength to new levels.
Additionally, he felt like he gained a nice amount of power from all of this, enough to increase his cultivation stages.

A lot of Skills!
Chaos was left flabbergasted as he learned a lot of powerful Skills. Many of them seemed passive, so by merely turning them on or off, he could get their benefits straight away.
He quickly decided to check what each Skill did, of course, so he could get a better insight at the time of battle.
[Nether Dark Claws of Corrosion]: Cover your claws with deadly nether that can corrode living flesh.

It was a big list, but Chaos had assessed everything correctly as he nodded. He seemed to be eager to try out his new abilities in battle, and wanted to go as fast as he could towards the Dungeon to kill more monsters with his new powers while also eating more monsters to gain even more Skills and power! It was a never-ending cycle, but a necessary one for his growth, which needed to be as fast as possible for the grim future ahead.
However, things were not done here…
"My lord, why don't you try out a large number of souls we have gathered now that you're done with the meals?" asked Abyss.
"Indeed! We gathered them for you, lord Chaos," said Belphegor.
"Souls?" asked Chaos, glancing at the large phantasmal net made by ghosts, which had many souls trapped inside.
"We gathered these souls outside. On this planet there are many wandering souls, mostly because the Transmigration Cycle is very far away from this planet, so its effects are lessened," said Belphegor.
"Belphegor said that if you eat souls, you can strengthen your soul, my lord!" said Abyss.
"Is that so? Well, it is worth a try, thank you for bringing them to me," said Chaos, as he quickly raised his claws towards the souls and generated a large spectral claw made of Spectral Attack and Chaos Magic, which he named Spectral Chaos Claw, a special magic-made claw that could expand and grab things with ease.
CLASH!
They grabbed the souls and quickly began to slurp them like noodles…
It wasn't much time before his soul started to gleam with new power.
