Background / History

Beirut is an ancient God-Eater Rat from the Yulan Plane. He attained godhood roughly 700,000 years before Leian's inquiry into him, then spent long periods in secluded cultivation within the Dark Forest. He is known to dislike crowds and rarely leaves his chosen residence. 14 43

Although he presents himself as a long-term recluse of the Yulan Plane, Leian concludes that Beirut had secretly gone to Hell long ago. Beirut's familiarity with Hell, his accumulated strength, and his ability to digest godheads all support this suspicion. He appears to have concealed his activities and reputation there with extreme care. 87 88

Beirut later lived in Yilan City on the Zijing Continent with Karolina for hundreds of thousands of years. After negotiating with Leian for Soul Defense Artifacts, he left the city with Karolina, crossed to the Bifu Continent, and personally delivered his essence blood to Leian. 89 90

After Karolina became pregnant, Beirut chose safety and stability over continued travel in Hell. Leian escorted Beirut, Karolina, and their son Harry to Excalibur Mountain, where Beirut returned to the Yulan Plane. 94 96 97

Appearance

Beirut can appear as a middle-aged human man, though his true form is that of a God-Eater Rat.

• Long black hair worn loose behind his head. 90
• A thin black beard extending from his chin to his chest. 90
• Small eyes with a fierce, warning gaze. 90
• His true-form lineage is associated with the God-Eater Rat's exceptional innate divine ability. 59 89

Personality

Beirut is exceptionally cautious, secretive, and calculating. He spent immense periods concealing his strength and history, avoided developing a public reputation in Hell, and rarely left Yilan City despite living there for hundreds of thousands of years. 88 90

He is naturally suspicious of others and tests Leian's claims repeatedly, demanding a Supreme God oath before accepting their agreement. Even when tempted by Soul Defense Artifacts, he seeks to maximize his advantage in negotiation. 88 89

Despite his guarded nature, Beirut values those close to him. He travels across Hell to fulfill his agreement with Leian, accepts risks for Karolina's benefit, and later returns to the Yulan Plane to provide a safer environment for his growing family. 90 94 97

Abilities & Skills

God-Eater

Beirut's innate divine ability, God-Eater, is an extraordinarily powerful bloodline talent.

• Travelled through Hell while posing as a Three-Star Fiend and taking lower-risk escort missions. 90

Story Role / Major Arcs

Leian's Search for Information

Leian first investigates Beirut after learning of an ancient god-level powerhouse who attained godhood around 700,000 years earlier. Beirut's age and possible connection to the coming apocalyptic conflict become a major concern for Leian. 14

Dark Forest Meetings

Leian approaches Beirut in the Dark Forest after reaching godhood in the four Rules. Beirut declines Leian's invitation to venture into Hell, claiming he intends to wait until becoming a Highgod. 59

Revelation and Negotiation

When Leian returns from Hell, he realizes Beirut likely has extensive prior experience there. Leian reveals his own Copy ability and artifact-refining capability, then proposes copying God-Eater through a drop of Beirut's essence blood. Beirut accepts only after Leian swears an oath to the Supreme God and agrees to provide Soul Defense Artifacts. 87 88 89

Delivery to Mengshan City

Beirut and Karolina travel from Yilan City to Mengshan City under assumed low-level Fiend identities. Beirut secretly exchanges his essence blood with Leian in a tavern while avoiding the observers monitoring Leian. 90

Return to the Yulan Plane

With Karolina expecting Harry, Beirut decides that the Yulan Plane is safer than continued residence in Hell. Leian escorts Beirut's family to Excalibur Mountain, after which Beirut and Sparrow depart for the Yulan Plane. 94 96 97

Trivia

• Beirut has lived for hundreds of thousands of years, yet considers a thousand years insignificant for god-level beings. 87
• He has left Yilan City so rarely that the number of departures over hundreds of thousands of years could be counted on one hand. 90
• Beirut's caution is so pronounced that Leian considers him a “top-tier schemer.” 88
