Beelzebub

**Beelzebub** (ベルゼブル, *Beruzeburu*) is the Demon Lord of Gluttony and one of the Seven Deadly Sins.

## Appearance

Beelzebub normally looks like a man in his fities with a small goatee beard and a black halo on top of his head. His hair is light brown and he has orange eyes. On his upper body he wears a french imperal army inspired outfit with golden details, white pants in the same style and black boots. He also wears a white jabot necktie with red and yellow stripes and a big red coat in the same french imperal army style. The end of the sleeves of this coat has white sleeves and can be empty or have an extra set of hands in them. He wears white gloves, has fangs and four fly wings on his back.

His human form is the same as his normal form, but without the demonic parts like his wings or fangs. He wears a white button-up shirt, black pants and loafers.

When he transform into his more demonic form he loses most of his human features and clothing. He retains his halo, wings, coat and jabot, but his body turns black and skeleton like, but he retains his hair which is also turned black. He has no discernable eyes and his pointy teeth are not covered by any lips. His upper body is mostly gone, aside from his ribcage and where his stomach used to be located is now a black ball. There is space between this black ball and his upper and lower body. On his lower body one can make out his pants and boots, but they seem to have become parts of his body. Having rib like apendages sticking out from the side. His feet turn two toed.

After eating a piece of Asmodeus that was purified by Boy he changed into a angel form. He regains his human features, wears toga like robes with a black waist sash and sandles. He has angle like wings of light and a has halo of an archangel. Butterflies of light seem to be flying to and from his wings.

After he was defeated he appeared to be turned younger and taking the form of a young child.

## Personality

Beelzebub is what you could call a demon among demons. He enjoys feasting while killing and devouring food more than anything else. He is willing to stoop as low as possible to get what he want. From deceiving to attacking bystanders in a fight to making corpses dance for his entertainment. He's usually very calm, collected and capable of making smart decisions in his favor.

As the demon lord of Gluttony, Beelzebub likes food so much he travels the world in search for gourmet food. He has eaten so much good food he sees himself as some sort of connoiseur and by extension he strongly believes he himself would taste as a world-class meat. He takes pride as a gourmet, so he was shocked and insulted when Leah told him he tasted gross. In reality he just gorges himself on anything that's edible. He favors meat as meat is delectable. Surprisingly, he's not against veganism and even sees it as a possible solution to the global food crisis. Yet he believes people shall always be eating meat as it is delectable.

Beelzebub believes that the hapiness of humans is tied to their instinct, thus he believes their true nature comes out when they are cornered. This instinct is to harm others. To feel delight when you snuff out life. In other words: To live is to kill. Life is nothing more than a form of violence. As such he also sees himself as man's true nature.

Despite being a murder and having no regard to life, he's capable of some level of sympathy. He gained a newfound respect towards Boy when he read his memories.

## Abilities and Powers

### Demonic power

Beelzebub main source of power is the offerings from his followers. He can also gain more demonic power by eating. The more he consumes the stronger he gets.

Like other demon lords he can surpress the presence of his demonic power.

### Necromancy

Beelzebub can revive and control the bodies of the dead. This control is not limited to people, but also animals. As long as the bones remain he can control them.

### Black Mouth Portal

Beelzebub can summon several black mouths, these can be used as form of teleportation for him and his followers. He can make them appear all around the globe, as long as he knows the general location. They also seem to be connected to his own stomach.

### Gehenna/Black Magic Contamination

Beelzebub can bring out his gehenna into the world. Through his gehenna he can capture people in his vili. They will lose consious and eventually become Beelzebub's food. It takes about two to three hours before people actually die.

Another side effect of this is that black magic contaminates the area. This contamination stops when he's repelled, but starts up again when he's revived. This black magic contamination can intervere with the power of miracles.

### Barrier

Like Mammon, Beelzebub can put down barriers. His version seems to be made out his flesh and vili and they are quite big. From the outside it looks like a tower with a pointy peak.

### Shapeshifting

Beelzebub can change any part of his body to his liking. This includes: Giving himself multiple irises in his eyes, creating a sword from his own flesh and bones, extend his arm and hand in monsterous form, from which he can even eat a person if he's holding one. After Beelzebub became part angel he could change his wings of light into six eyes with multiple irises.

### Regeneration

Like other demon lords Beelzebub can regenerate his body if it's heavenly damaged.

### Domain

Also known as the demon lord's dining table, Beelzebub's domain is a dark enclose space with a long, giant dining table. The table is set with giant plates, wine glasses and candles. To the ceiling are candles floating in the shape of a chandelier.

After becoming part angel his domain changes into a flower field with rays of sunshine shining down on it. This domain is apparently close to paradise.

### Cutlery Weaponry

Beelzebub can summon giant black knives that he either uses as projectiles, swords or cutting his food. He can also them for a flying slash attack. The knives themselves have a unique design, but are similair to Beelzebub more demonic form. They have a top (blade) and bottom (handle) part that are connected with a black ball.

After he becomes part angel he can also summon forks. The cutlery seem to be made out of light, but retains the same shape from before he became part angel.

### Oil

In his more demonic form Beelzebub can summon superheated oil to fry his enemies.

### Miracle

After becoming part angel Beelzebub is capable of using a miracle, namely **The Armor of God** (Ephesians 6:12-17). Despite having a lot of angelic power he can't handle it very well, because he's not a vessel.

### Mind Walking

After Beelzebub became part angel by eating a piece of Asmodeus that was purified, he was able to enter the Boy's mind. By toching the exorcist's head, Beelzebub was able to read Boy's memories, emotions and thoughts.

## History

Beelzebub was an angel before becoming a demon lord.

After becoming a demon lord he traveled the world in search of gourmet food.

Around the 16th century he made a deal with a witch. In reality he was tricked in losing a body part, his pinky from his left hand, and got cursed with slavenic magic. He was not allowed to go east unless the people from east invited him.

In 2011 Beelzebub attacked a livestock farm in eastern Germany. He did this by staying on the edge of the village and befriending one the villagers. This villager was five year old Leah. After gaining her trust, and even earning himself the nickname mister, he was invited east and attacked her family farm. Using his gehenna Beelzebub kills her friends and their families in front of her and turns into his demon form. When Leah asks him what he did, he simply replies that he already told her everything about him. Including his identity as a demon lord. He invites her to have a meal with him and holds her captive family in front of her. Leah begs him not to hurt them, but Beelzebub points out that this situation is her fault. Hans (Leah's father) denies this and tries to tell Leah it's not her fault, but he and his wife are killed by Beelzebub and their corpses are made to dance.

10 days later Beelzebub and Leah are still eating together. While he eats normal food Leah was plated her dead baby brother Leo. She held out from eating him for these past 10 days. Beelzebub encourage her to eat and she finally succumbs to her hunger. Smiling that she's finally eating he notices that someone made a hole in his barrier. That someone was Mother Rosa, the strongest exorcist at the time. She enters the barrier alongside 79 other exorcist, including Dante.

While complementing the church for how they handled his guards, he tells Leah she has nothing to be ashamed off, as she could not fight her instict. Before he could continue his speech he's attacked by Mother Rosa. He stops her attack and they talk (with her calling him a worm) until Beelzebub noticed Dante rescuing Leah. Mother Rosa wishes both of them happiness in this life and Dante wish all the other exorcist good luck before fleeing with Leah. Knowing that they would most likely not survive. Both Beelzebub and Mother Rosa talk before another exorcist summons four arch angels to aid them in battle. Beelzebub talks to the angels, saying how he's forgotten the words of heaven. But he can feel that the next hope (Boy) has been created before they start to fight. Beelzebub loses and is repelled, but unfortunately Mother Rosa and 78 other exorcist who helped her also die.

Many years later in 2020, he appeared again at a local church in Italy. Controling the remains of Mother Rosa, who where destroyed by Leah. Beelzebub fought Boy at the time, but he lost. While Beelzebub was devouring Boy's body, he failed to notice his own detoriating body. When there was too much damage he simply returned to Gehenna. Telling Boy that he should grow strong and healthy for him.

In 2022 Beelzebub was revived once more by his followers: the witches.

### Part 1

While not fully appearing Beelzebub is mentioned as one of the three demon lords Boy as encountered and repelled.

### Part 2

Beelzebub appears shortly twice in Part 2. Once in a flashback and once more as a mention.

### Part 3

Beelzebub is first mentioned by Leah as she tells Boy and Imuri that black magic contamination around the world has started again, meaning the witches have revived him. Imuri gets shocked when she hears Boy actually lost to the demon lord. Next time we see him is in a flashback from Leah's past. Shortly after the church discusses how they should handle this situation with the Lord of the Flies and the witches.

He makes his first true appearance some time after the meeting of the curch in Tokyo, Japan. After finally being reunited witn his lost finger, given to him by the witch Vergilius, he invades the city with his gehenna. He makes his way to tokyo tower and orders Golem (the nephilim) and Cerberus to eat anyone looking for him, fully expecting them to fail. While waiting for Boy to show up the lord of the flies looks at his regained pinky finger. Reminiscing about the past when he made a deal with the witch, who he lost his finger to, complimenting her for tricking him. While Beelzebub grows a little sad as he would have loved to feast on them, he quickly pushes that aside because he will soon feast upon the world.

After a while of waiting the first ones to arrive before Beelzebub are Leah and Barbara. When Leah calls him by his nickname she gave him so many years ago, he does not remember her. He simply shoos her away, as he's not interested in junk food. Leah attacks him and together with Barbara they are able to back him into a corner. Stealing his heart and immobilizing him, but just as Leah wants to tear him apart she reaches her time limit. Feeling that his restraints have loosened he reaches for Leah, but captures Barbara instead. Beelzebub strikes a deal with Leah: he will spare Barbara's life if she gives him his heart back and tells him where the church is keeping the purified fragment of Asmodeus. Barbara tries to pursue Leah not to tell him and get her revenge. Despite the masked nun's efforts Leah can't abandon her friend, so she frees Beelzebub, gives him his heart back and tell him the location of the fragment. While Beelzebub releases Barbara and gloats over his victory he's punched by Boy who just arrived on the scene, alongside Imuri and Golem.

While the demon lord regenerates the damage Boy has done to his face, he asks him why he's so mad. Beelzebub calls himself man's true nature, as they excitedly kill life, making Leah who just attacked him an example. Boy asks why society persisted if humans really are so violent as the demon lord say they are. Beelzebub counters with a question of his own: if man truly has love in his heart, then why isn't the world a more beautiful and peaceful place? As soon as he's finished asking his question, he transforms and brings the group into his own domain: the demon lord's dining table. Boy attacks Beelzebub, hoping to beat him before he fully transforms into his more demonic form. Unfortantly for him he's too late and the demon lord stops his attack. Beelzebub attacks Boy and is able to destroy Boy's barrier and cut off golem's fingers, but his weapon is destroyed by Boy.

Beelzebub and Boy continue to fight. As boy is reciting scripture for a strong miracle he's overwhelmed by the attacks of the demon lord, until he's pinned down. Beelzebub relentlessly tears Boy to shreads and just as he wants to eat him boy counter attacks with the mircale **The Armor of God** (Ephesians 6:12-17). Having the tide of battle turned against him, Beelzebub tries to distract Boy by using necormancy to attack Imuri and the others. This strategy works as Boy as lost his edge in battle, worried about the safety of the others. Up until this point Golem was protecting the girls, but he decides to attack the demon lord. While Beelzebub his impressed by Golem, he quickly kills him. Dissapointed by this quick kill the demon lord lost track of Boy, who uses this moment to cut off the limbs of the demon lord and pin him down.

The battle seems to be over as the gates of Gehenna appear before Beelzebub and Boy. However, the demon lord uses the last of his powers to eat the purfied fragment of Asmodeus. The moment he does his domain changes into a flowerfield and Beezebub himself becomes part angel. Boy attacks him, but Beelzebub now uses the same miracle against boy. Using his stronger angelic powers he's able to constrain Boy and enter his mind. Wanting to find out his deepest desire Beelzebub is shocked by what he sees. Just before he's ejected, he meets someone he knows inside Boy's mind. Outside Beelzebub tells Boy he has respect for him, before he starts to pray. After he's finished praying the demon lord uses his mircale to deal the final blow, thanking Boy for being born. His attack his however stopped by Dante.

Confused by his sudden appearance Beelzebub asks who he is. Dante answers that he was the pupil of the exorcist who the demon lord killed years ago. Angry Beelzebub response that he doesn't remember every little trifle. He attacks the duo with his miracle, but dante is able to defend and dodge every attack while carrying Boy. Beelzebub attack stops when he's ripped open by Leah, who recoverd thanks to Dante. Noticing his body isn't regenerating properly, she comments that angelic power is too much for a worm like him. Thanks to that comment Beelzebub finally remembered his final conversation with mother Rosa, while Boy, Dante and leah work together to get a hit on him. Briefly remembering the past when he and the other demon lords were still angels, he prepares himself for the final battle.

Beelzebub does well holding his own against his three opponents, but when he tries to make a move on Dante his arm is turned into sugary confections by the witch Vergilius who watches the battle from afar. The demon lord realizing he was betrayed quickly cuts off his own arm. Overwhelmed by his opponents and unable to regenerate quickly enough, he tranforms his wings into six eyes to see every possible oncoming attack. But as soon as Beelzebub did that he's blinded by Barbara who just recovered. Using this chance Boy cuts off his other arm, Dante restrains him and Leah goes in for the final blow. Desperatly the blinded demon lord launches one last attack and was able to hit Leah. She doesn't back down and bites off a piece of the demon lord. As Beelzebub falls through the gates of Gehenna he's quite statisfied that he goes down this way. He proudly asks Leah what his meat taste like, seeing himself as world-class Gourmet. He's shocked when she tells him he taste gross, and gets angry when she insults him further. Trying to swear at her, but the gates of Gehenna close shut.

A few days later in Gehenna, a weakend Beelzebub goes to Satan asking him what is plan is. Satan says he does not know what the other demon lord means. Beelzebub explained that while Boy's abilities have matured he has grown weaker. Satan then explain his plan, which leaves Beelzebub so angry he would have rend the other demon lord limb by limb if not for his weakend form. The lord of wrath then asks for a favor: if Beelzebub could stop bullying the Nephilim.
