Chapter 286 Anxiety
The battle between Baal and Beelzebub can be said to be extremely brutal.
At the beginning, Baal had the upper hand. After all, the body carrying Beelzebub's soul was an ordinary human body, and he could not compete with Baal who had recovered half of his strength.
However, because the fragments of the Heart of the World continued to provide Beelzebub with strength, the battle became evenly matched after a period of stalemate.
"...It seems that this body is about to reach its limit."
Beelzebub, whose body was badly damaged, let out a bitter smile, but Baal's condition was not very good. Many of the golden runes on his body were broken, and the wounds were constantly oozing blood. Moreover, due to the power of the Beelzebub realm, these wounds did not heal.
"Why, are you going to admit defeat?"
Bal sneered and swung the warhammer in his hand again at the demon in front of him. Although this small area was surrounded by the boundary, it had been reduced to ruins by the battle between the two demons. Because of Li Muhan's instructions, Bal always kept the battle within the scope of the boundary.
It’s not that Bal would listen to Li Muhan’s words, but if the realm was really broken and affected the real world, then the woman from the Special Management Bureau would definitely come to cause trouble for him.
Now he still has no confidence that he can beat that woman of unknown origin.
But Beelzebub also saw through Baal's thoughts. During the battle, he had been intentionally or unintentionally guiding Baal to the edge of the realm.
Baal's attacks nearly shattered the realm several times.
This made him furious.
"What are you worried about?"
In the end, it was Beelzebub who looked at Baal first and asked, "Could it be that you are worried that once the power of the Realm Edict disappears, it will affect humans?"
His voice was full of sarcasm, as if he was saying something extremely unbelievable.
"The life and death of mankind has nothing to do with me. Why, weren't you captured by that woman and taken back to the Special Management Bureau?"
"woman?"
After hearing Baal's words, Beelzebub fell into deep thought, then smiled and shrugged: "I admit that I lost to a human, but he was a man. I have never seen such a powerful human."
Baal suddenly stopped moving, staring at Beelzebub and asking, "What's this man's name?"
Beelzebub thought for a moment and replied, "Chang Yue."
It was not the name that Baal wanted to hear, so he sneered and swung his weapon again to kill Beelzebub.
At this time in Lucifer's prison, seeing the situation gradually becoming tense, Li Muhan also became a little nervous. This was the first time he saw an enemy that even Baal could not deal with. He was indeed worthy of being a demon king of the same level as him.
Then he turned to look at the woman who had her eyes slightly closed and seemed to have no interest in all this and said, "Xiaolu, can you give me a hand?"
The woman opened her eyes slightly after hearing Li Muhan's voice. Her eyes showed obvious confusion, as if she couldn't believe what she heard. "Are you suggesting that I fight against that disgusting Lord of Flies? With all due respect, Your Highness, just imagining its existence makes me feel extremely uncomfortable."
Li Muhan patiently explained, "Mr. Baal seems to be running out of energy. Can you provide some assistance? You should know that if Beelzebub defeats Baal, the next to suffer will likely be Hypnos, and then you. Some things cannot be avoided."
The girl was concentrating on enjoying the potato chips in her hand. When she heard this, her face suddenly changed and the chips in her hand fell to the ground.
She widened her eyes and stared at Li Muhan in disbelief: "What does this have to do with me?"
"North, we are all on the same front, revolutionary comrades fighting side by side! Facing difficulties, we need to unite. Do you really think you can escape this storm alone?"
Li Muhan's eyes were full of determination.
"Then why am I in front of Lucifer?"
Hypnos's face was filled with confusion, and her eyes revealed a deep disgust for confronting the Lord of the Flies. This did not stem from fear, but from pure physical rejection.
Perhaps only a tough guy like Bal would accept such a challenge without hesitation.
"Does it matter who comes first or last? Come on, stop interrupting."
Li Muhan responded to Hypnos for a few words and then looked at Lucifer. The woman seemed to be considering what Li Muhan had just said: "Your Highness may like to fool people, but what you said just now does have some truth. I can provide some help, but the condition is..."
"Look, look."
Li Muhan looked at Hypnos and said, "Now we're talking about conditions. Is it so difficult for the organization to ask you to do something? Okay, okay, tell me what the conditions are."
"I want a TV, too."
When Lucifer stated her request, Li Muhan suddenly felt a little sad. This dark prison, the damp environment, the walls that never see the light of day, well, okay... just give her a TV.
"Okay, I agree. North, remember to get her a TV and ask the Forest Bureau to reimburse her."
“…”
Hypnos wanted to refuse, but when he thought that if he really refused, he would be the next one to deal with the Lord of the Flies, he remained silent and agreed.
"But... Your Highness, this matter may have to be led by you."
Lucifer smiled at Li Muhan, making Li Muhan wonder if this hermaphrodite was up to something again: "...What do you mean? Do you mean for me to take over Baal's account now?"
"If Baal still holds the reins of this body, then my power will be unable to combine with his. However, if you are the one in control, then it will be a different story."
Li Muhan glanced at Hypnos suspiciously, as if asking for her opinion.
Hypnos rolled his eyes at Li Muhan in annoyance. "Don't look at me. I'm not a demon encyclopedia. But she does have a point. And it's better to control the two forces in your own hands, right? After all, your relationship with Baal isn't that good, is it?"
Li Muhan fell into deep thought. After a moment, he slowly raised his head and said, "Okay."
At this time, the battle between Baal and Beelzebub was approaching a climax, and the all-out efforts of both made the atmosphere on the battlefield hot and tense.
Beelzebub's body continued to fester, and the flesh represented by the name Qi Su was under unprecedented pressure and was on the verge of collapse.
The ancient golden runes on Baal's body, symbolizing the source of his endless power, are now gradually losing their luster, indicating that his power is suffering from severe pollution and erosion.
Both sides knew that such a stalemate battle would only result in mutual destruction. This was their only consensus in this chaotic moment.
Beelzebub transformed himself into countless buzzing flies, attempting to maintain a safe distance from Baal. He once again attempted to break the deadlock with words: "Are we truly destined to exhaust each other like this? The soul you painstakingly reforged could be shattered once again after this battle."
Baal's offensive slowed noticeably after hearing these words. Although he didn't expect to reconcile with Beelzebub, the thought of his soul, which had been repaired with great difficulty, being shattered again made him waver. This price was too heavy for him.
Judging from Li Muhan's stupid work efficiency, it will take a long time for him to recover to his peak state.
So he had an idea at this moment.
It would be better to just expose a flaw and let him go. What does the human world's situation have to do with me anyway?
Seeing that Baal fell silent, Beelzebub also smiled. He seemed to understand the thoughts of this demon who was of the same origin as himself. But just when he was about to persuade him further, things took a turn for the better.
Baal seemed to have heard something. He was confused at first, but finally gave a wry smile. "Boy, you are so arrogant. You actually want to control the power of two demons at the same time... But I have to say, I like your courage. So... I will lend you my power."
