Commandment

A is a unique power created by the Demon King over 3,000 years ago. There are ten in total and each has a unique curse bestowed upon anyone who breaks its rule.

Overview
The Commandments are a set of ten decrees that were created by the Demon King when he took half of his power and split that into ten fragments to create the Ten Commandments, who derive their name from their powers.

Each Commmandment has a specific rule that, if broken, will place a specific curse on the victim(s) depending on what the Commandment itself is centered around. The power of the Commadments is absolute and affects anyone who breaks its rule, even the wielder of the Commandment itself. However, anyone who has another Commandment is immune to all others except their own.

Absorbing a Commandment turns any non-demon into a Demon and if anyone, demon or not, tries to take in more than one Commandment, it would destroy them. Monspeet himself said only Meliodas and Zeldris could survive such a feat, but it is revealed that their brother, Estarossa is capable of doing so too, but at the cost of warping his broken soul even more.

Meliodas states that by absorbing all ten of the Commandments, he can reach a level of power equal to that of the Demon King and Supreme Deity, as he is doing so to end the curse placed on Elizabeth Liones.

The Ten Decrees
