Chapter 1486: Birds and Return (31)

There is a huge abyss in hell that spans the entire hell, which is called "hell within hell". Some people also call it "the abyss of eternal night".

In the deepest part of the abyss, there is a huge palace on the cliff, where Beelzebub, the extremely ancient demon king of hell, lives.

Beelzebub had many demon generals under his command, but compared to his peers, he was not too aggressive. Every few hundred years, Beelzebub would summon them under various names to hold celebrations, and The abyss where the celebration had just been held seemed a little deserted.

Walk along the long palace corridor made of obsidian, pass through the flames emerging between the sheep-headed skulls, and go up the stairs along the carpet woven with the pattern of the sun god, and you will arrive at Beelzebub's throne room. .

The tall demon guard was leaning against the door and taking a nap, when suddenly a roar came from the throne room.

"...What's the reason?!

Batman, are you deliberately looking for trouble? !

Just do as I say!

! "

The guard was trembling with fright, and the spear in his hand fell to the ground. After picking up the spear, he couldn't help but curiously lay at the crack of the door and looked into the throne room.

In the past few days, the name Batman has appeared countless times in the demon king's roar, but every time his voice was heard but no one was seen.

The demon guard observed for a while and found that His Majesty Beelzebub seemed to be responding to the prayers of believers.

Beelzebub was indeed on the phone with Batman, and this was already the fourth prayer call he had received today.

Beelzebub is not completely without human believers, but generally speaking, he only needs a thought to respond to the lengthy prayers of human believers. Anyway, most human believers also pray to him for blessing and strength. As long as it is not too much, he will Yes, anyway, the power that humans want is just a drop in the bucket for him.

But Batman is different. He doesn't want power or protection. What he wants is knowledge.

There have been such freaks throughout the ages. Beelzebub also gave countless secret knowledge to his followers, but all other believers wanted were answers, such as whether something would be successful or whether a certain period of history was true. What is the truth behind the war between angels and demons?

What is considered secret knowledge to humans is nothing more than a past memory to Beelzebub, and he can easily answer these questions.

But what makes Batman different is that he not only has to answer questions, but also has to go through the process, and no points will be given just for answering questions.

When he asked Beelzebub about the future of something, his focus was not on whether the future was good or bad. Beelzebub even suspected that Batman didn't believe him in judging whether something was good or bad in the future. What Batman cared about was It’s how Beelzebub made the judgment.

Of course Beelzebub also explained to him that humans and demons have different life forms and different personalities. For demons like Beelzebub, time does not advance linearly, so of course he can see some futures.

But Batman just wants to figure out what the principle of non-linear time prophecy is, what is the difference between the life forms of humans and demons, and what is the personality? Often when Beelzebub answers a question for him, it will lead to countless others. problem.

Beelzebub yelled at him, "You don't have to be too clear about magic!" Batman would reply to him, "If you don't understand the principle, how can you be sure that your answer is right?"

Beelzebub tried to convince him with practice, such as making a prophecy and then waiting for a period of time for the prophecy to come true, but Batman would question again, even if it comes true this time, what about next time?

Without a process that can be completely deduced, how can we ensure the stability of the results?

This theory really stumped Beelzebub. The power he possessed and everything he could do were actually instincts. He had never thought about where the power came from and how it worked.

And Batman went further: "If you don't understand the principle of all this, then one day this power disappears, and you don't even have a way to restore it."

Of course, Beelzebub wanted to swear that "this power will never disappear". He has believed this for thousands of years. He will always be the devil of hell, and his status far exceeds other existences in the universe.

But Belial's death made him a little uncertain again.

Judging from his common sense, the three demon kings of hell will not die. They are the pillars of hell and should live as long as the entire universe. But Belial just disappeared, disappearing without any trace of life.

It's hard not to give Beelzebub a sense of crisis. Even if Batman doesn't go crazy and eat him again, how can he ensure that nothing else threatens his survival next time?

Any intelligent life has a survival instinct, and a life with emotions is inevitably afraid. Belial disappeared too easily. The powerful power he controlled and his similar personality to Beelzebub failed to provide him with any protection. What on earth is this? Why?

Once this idea appeared in Beelzebub's mind, it was difficult for him not to think about it. If one day he faced a madman like Batman, and removed his power and personality, what would he have left?

If one day his power and personality disappear, can he really just stay where he is, waiting for the danger to come without knowing anything, and is completely powerless to save it?

Thinking about his current situation, Beelzebub thought, maybe yes, he doesn't know where his power comes from. If it is naturally generated, will it always be generated? If it is given by someone, will it always be given?

These questions hovered in Beelzebub's mind like a spell. Every time Batman made a phone call to ask questions that Beelzebub had never thought of, the spell became clearer.

When a demon king began to think about the source of his power, he would inevitably use his instinctive and powerful power to trace the origin of the universe with a vision far beyond that of humans.

But unfortunately, Beelzebub's status was high, but not high enough. No matter how he used his special vision and powerful power to explore the mysteries of the universe, he could never accurately say "how everything that exists exists".

This made Beelzebub feel irritable, even self-destructive, but Batman still took the trouble to call him and ask some questions that sounded simple but no one could answer.

Gradually, Beelzebub was no longer so angry. After all, a small human being could persevere, even if he made dozens of harassing calls to his god every day to find out the answer to the question. Then, as a god, wouldn't it be stupid in his eyes if he was so irritable?

Although, Beelzebub felt that in Batman's eyes, all life should be stupid, because he was a little too smart.

When Beelzebub really memorized Batman's questions and those explanations he said casually and understood them, Beelzebub found that this human was really ridiculously smart.

Batman can directly get the answer through deduction for many things that are impossible to see through from a human perspective. Batman also forcibly understands the knowledge that is impossible to understand with human life form with his terrible understanding ability.

He may be the smartest person in the universe, Beelzebub thought.

Then perhaps, he can use his wisdom to answer the mysteries of the universe that he can't study at all.

Yes, this is good for him, Beelzebub thought so. Not every demon monarch has such a smart pope. He should firmly grasp this opportunity, and maybe he will have the opportunity to go further.

Thinking of this, Beelzebub's heart became a little hot.

But at this time, Batman's phone calls were no longer so frequent.

Beelzebub could only sit in his throne room and be suspicious. One day, he finally couldn't help asking Batman, "Why haven't you prayed recently?"

He tried to control his tone so that he wouldn't sound like a crazy woman who called every five minutes to check on him, but Batman's words chilled his heart.

"I think those questions may be too difficult for a demon king. After all, you are far away from the origin of the universe."

"However, in the recent academic discussion, my teacher recommended me a good candidate. I am planning to fly to the West Coast to ask Lucifer."

Beelzebub felt his heart tightened. He knew that as God's most beloved youngest son, Lucifer could be called truly omniscient and omnipotent.

At this moment, Beelzebub was not afraid that Batman would not be able to ask the answer, but was afraid that he would really ask the answer.

Will he still have a place as a god by then?

Beelzebub was pessimistic about this, so he immediately said to Batman: "There is no need to trouble His Majesty Satan with such a small matter. What was the name of the rune word you mentioned the day before yesterday? ... Jealousy? Evil? That is the field of Azazel. I will ask him later."

"Oh, that one." Batman's tone came from the other end: "The topic has been conquered by Tim, but..."

Beelzebub's mood was like riding a roller coaster. He immediately asked: "But what?"

"Nothing, it's my private matter."

"As the Pope, you should certainly be more pious to your God. Isn't prayer used to tell God about your difficulties without reservation?"

"Well, it's actually some problems with my spiritual world. Some time ago, I split some personality traits. I have been studying how to make them work together, but you also know that the human spiritual world is very fragile, so there were some small problems in my research process..."

"What problem?" Beelzebub's tone contained a little smugness. Batman, you have this day too?

"It's hard to say." Batman's tone was a little embarrassed. He was silent for a while, and then said, "Why don't you come to my mind and take a look?"

Beelzebub didn't think there was anything strange about this invitation. Many humans would summon demons into their bodies in order to gain more power.

Beelzebub was even a little surprised that Batman would be willing to let him enter his body? Many humans were very resistant to this matter.

But the opportunity is rare, and Beelzebub really wants to know what is so special about this human called Batman.

So, Beelzebub made up his mind and said to Batman: "I will give you a spell. You just need to recite it completely, and I can enter your soul to check the situation. Don't worry, there is no soul problem that I can't solve."

Batman recited the spell, and Beelzebub successfully entered his soul-and then was drowned by endless shit mountain codes.

"Help me modify the program until it works, thank you."

"Oh...shit...what is this..."

"By the way, this is a closed system, you can't get out until the modification is completed, I'm going to do other work, bye."

"Batman!

Bat...Ugh!

!"
