Beelzebub's dozen pairs of eyes widened instantly. He looked at Bruce in front of him as if he had seen a ghost. A dark shadow rose into the sky, and an unbelievable angry roar echoed at the top of the mage tower.
"Batman, are you sick?!!!"
Bruce picked his ears and said, "I'm not sick, but I think you won't be satisfied with me letting a group of human cubs attend your celebration, but I really can't get away. I also have a celebration here, so why don't we all get together How about having some fun together?"
Andrew, who was standing next to Schiller, looked at the figure of the Devil floating in the air. His jaw almost dropped in shock. Schiller folded his arms, tapped his arm with his fingertips and said, "Bruce's previous contract partner I haven’t responded to him for a long time, I think he might want to find another demon king to assist him.”
"But don't just summon him here!" Andrew shouted loudly, and then looked around, watching the drunken demon generals wreaking havoc everywhere, scaring the apprentices in his mage tower to scream and run. He said helplessly: "Dr. Schiller, you really have a good apprentice. My mage tower cannot withstand such a torment."
"Relax, Master Andrew. Think about it, a demon king personally comes to congratulate you on your birthday. How many great mages have had such an honor since ancient times?" Schiller said with a smile.
Andrew was slightly stunned. The white-bearded mage rolled his eyes, and then he laughed out loud and said, "That's right, Dr. Schiller, you really have a good disciple."
"Do you think I'm the same as Belena's family? I have no interest in the human world, and I don't need any human agents. Get out of here!" Beelzebub said angrily.
"What did you say last sentence?"
"I said I don't need an agent..." "One more sentence."
"Uh... Do you think I'm the same as Belena's family?"
"If you don't need an agent, maybe you'll be like him soon."
Beelzebub opened a dozen pairs of eyes again. He looked at Bruce in disbelief and said, "You threaten me?! How dare a little human threaten the mighty Demon King of Hell?!"
"You misunderstood Your Majesty Beelzebub." Bruce shook his head and said, "What happened to Your Majesty Belial was just an accident. It is impossible for me to use such a powerful power a second time."
"If you insist on doing this, then there is nothing I can do about it. Since you still have a celebration to do, I won't bother you today. You can go back and think about it. We will talk about it tomorrow."
"Tomorrow we will..." Beelzebub was choked, but he continued to say loudly: "Are you still planning to drag me here again?! Batman! I'm warning you! You can't do anything to a The demon king is so rude, otherwise...
"What else?" Bruce asked with a smile.
Beelzebub was choked again. He really didn't know what else to do.
First of all, it was very strange that Batman swallowed an entire demon king with a human soul. In theory, this was impossible to happen, but it happened.
If Beelzebub says to Batman, "I'm going to kill you," then Batman will still go to hell after death. So who can guarantee that he won't swallow the soul of a demon king for the second time?
If he threatens Batman with sinking his soul into an abyss of eternal pain like he threatened Constantine or any other magician who messed with him, then how can he ensure that he extracts his soul before he can? And after being taken to hell, won't he be swallowed up by Batman?
In fact, as the extremely high-ranking Demon King of Hell, Beelzebub also had no idea how Batman ate Belial. He didn't understand the principle, so he naturally couldn't prevent it, so it was related to Batman's soul. All operations must be done with caution, he does not want to become a second snack.
Beelzebub had some scruples, so naturally he could not treat humans as a group of ants like before, and just looked down on them from a high place.
He even had to hold back his rage, stare at Bruce with a dozen pairs of eyes, and ask: "You damn human being! You can't drag me here every day. This is complete harassment. What on earth do you want to do?" .
"You really don't need a pope?"
"Why do I need a pope? And why do you want to be a pope???" Beelzebub was puzzled.
He couldn't understand the thoughts of the human being in front of him at all. Why did he go to all this trouble to summon him just to become the pope?
Beelzebub knew that human beings contracted with demons for nothing more than power, and those so-called popes and agents of demon monarchs were just beggars held in the palm of the demon's hand.
But Batman eating Belial alive has caused all the devils in hell to put him on the same level. Beelzebub does not have the ability to break the fourth wall, so he does not know most of Batman's abilities. Due to his fundamental personality, I thought that the strength of Batman's trump card was far greater than that of the Devil of Hell.
Since he can control hell, why bother to make a contract with another demon king and pray to him for strength?
But at this time, Bruce's eyes were no longer on him, but turned to look at most of the demon palace that had also been summoned.
Beelzebub's demon palace was built on a cliff in the cracks of the Hell Abyss. More than half of the walls were the cliff itself, so most of the rooms had fallen apart after being summoned.
Bruce walked towards the ruins of the palace without hesitation, walking with long strides, as if he was in a deserted place, as confidently as if he had returned home.
Beelzebub, who was flying in the air, suddenly turned his head and shouted to Bruce: "Hey, where are you going? Stay away from my palace!"
"Your Majesty, do you have a study here?" "What does this have to do with you?!"
"As your pope, although you don't need the blessing of power, it's okay to accept the baptism of knowledge, right?... I just saw a few rows of bookshelves?"
"Hey! Wait! Don't touch my statue! It's made of molten gold from the abyss!!!"
Several Robins standing next to the ruins of the palace watched Batman fly across the ruins of the palace like the wind, leaping agility on the top of the ruins of the building at high speeds.
So there was such a strange scene outside the door of the mage's tower, with people flying in front and demons chasing after them - but they couldn't catch up. When passing by the Robins, Bruce shouted to them: "Hey! You guys, follow up!"
The three Robins had no time to think about why Batman asked them to follow him. The muscle memory of working with Batman for many years allowed them to follow Batman without hesitation.
Soon, Bruce and several Robins stopped near the fragments of a larger spire. Bruce stood on the top of the towering spire, looking down at the ruins of the building below, and said.
"It seems that this should be the library of His Majesty Beelzebub's palace. As His Majesty's Pope, it is necessary for His Majesty to preserve the precious books accumulated in the palace over the years at this moment when the palace suffers this disaster... "
Then he waved to the Robins behind him and said, "Come on, Nightwing, you move this half, and you two go move the back part, be careful not to damage the pages..." "
Beelzebub finally landed from mid-air. He shrank slightly and said in disbelief: You summoned my palace just to steal my library? ? ! ! "
Beelzebub couldn't bear it and yelled again: "Batman! Are you sick?!!"
But Bruce waved to him impatiently and said, "It's none of your business. You can go over there and celebrate your common celebration with Master Andrew. Help me wish Her Royal Highness the Princess a happy wedding."
After saying that, he jumped off the steeple and moved the books together. Looking at Bruce's retreating figure, Beelzebub opened his mouth, closed it again, opened his mouth again, and closed it again.
You say he is a robber. He has the ability to devour the devil alive, but he chose to only rob a library. You say he is not a robber. He came here to trick an old comrade who was tens of thousands of years old in Beelzebub just to rob him. 's library.
If Beelzebub doesn't stop him, he might lose his library forever. If he stops him, what if Batman changes his mind and instead of robbing the library, he robs the Demon King himself?
And Beelzebub is not there now
The fundamental reason there's action is that the things Batman did to him haven't gotten to the point where he'd go to war and risk being eaten.
Isn't it just a library? Even if he moved back, he wouldn't understand. Human lifespan is only a few hundred years. At worst, he would move back after he dies. Beelzebub comforted himself in this way.
Beelzebub floated above the ruins of a messy palace, with a rather bleak figure. He remembered what Lucifer once said - the evil in hell is far less than the madness of human beings.
At this time, Bruce, who was moving books among the ruins of the library, seemed to feel that it was not enough. He took out a batarang from his waist and activated the loudspeaker device on it. In an instant, his shouts echoed around the mage tower.
"Wayne Engineering Group is looking for movers, Wayne Engineering Group is looking for movers..."
At first, most people didn't understand what he was shouting, and they didn't know what the so-called movers were trying to move. But what Bruce said next made everyone's eyes glow green.
"Collect all the knowledge books in the ruins and store them in the designated location. The items transported will be settled by kilogram, one million US dollars per kilogram. No credit will be given! Repeat it again..."
Few modern magicians can live in seclusion in the mountains and old forests and be self-sufficient. Most people still have to live in an industrial society and enjoy the convenience brought by modern cities, so they will inevitably have to face the practical problem of daily necessities.
Although borrowed magic does not cost human currency, you have to buy the casting materials yourself. Except for a few materials that can only be collected in the magical world, most precious metals still have to be purchased through transactions in ordinary society.
Precious metals are mainly expensive. Magic, alchemy and medicine refining have been money-burning hobbies since ancient times. Most magicians who can survive until they have a stable source of power have quite rich wealth, but no matter how rich it is, it is impossible. With Wayne Group's wealth, who would think it's too much money?
Looking at the apprentices in the mage tower swarming from all directions, Bruce, standing at the top of the spire, nodded and thought that Schiller was right. Sometimes mundane things are more touching, and human beings' pursuit of wealth is endless. .
"Boy, you are beyond my expectations." A voice sounded behind Bruce. As soon as he turned his head, he saw the beautiful Madam Xanadu standing on the other side of the top of the spire, slowly walking towards him. .
"Thank you, madam." Bruce lowered his head modestly, then looked up at Madam Xanadu, and said very sincerely: "Thank you for your help. I have had in-depth communication with His Majesty Beelzebub. You can use it as much as you like. Take valuable items from his palace as compensation for your power.
Mrs. Xanadu raised her eyebrows, finally showed a sincere smile, and said, "Dr. Schiller really has a good apprentice."
After speaking, she turned to look at the ruins below, blinked, and asked curiously: "Can I ask why you are interested in the library in Beelzebub Palace?"
"I'm just interested in knowledge."
"This is rare." Mrs. Xanadu commented. She glanced at Bruce's eyes again, hesitated slightly, and then reminded him.
"Bruce, how old am I? Please forgive me for reminding you that most of the books owned by the Demon King are obscure and difficult to understand, and most of them are dark and evil. Most of the knowledge in them will make humans go crazy just by looking at it, so even if If you move those classics back, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to get the power you want from them."
"What I want is not power, what I'm interested in is knowledge itself." Bruce said, looking intently into Mrs. Xanadu's eyes.
Mrs. Xanadu looked away in panic. She stretched out her hand and gently touched the amulet around her neck. Then she sighed and said, "Human beings have different pursuits, and your pureness shocked me. I originally thought I can repay Dr. Schiller's favor by helping you, but I didn't expect that I would take advantage in the end."
"In this case, I am also willing to provide you with some help in areas that interest you. If there is anything you don't understand, you can come to me.
"My pleasure, ma'am."
