Background

Beirut obtained the bodies of the Four Divine Beasts and four Sovereign Sparks from a place of exceptionally dense elemental energy. He seized this opportunity from the Sovereign of Light, Augusta, an act that ultimately enabled him to become a Sovereign and left Augusta wishing him dead. 20 232

He established himself as the hidden ruler of the Yulan Continent, residing in a metal castle within the Dark Forest and administering the Graveyard of the Gods on the Sovereign’s behalf—or, publicly, as the Sovereign’s manager. 37 57 His actual identity as the Sovereign behind this arrangement was concealed from most people until Olivier deduced it. 60 212

In Hell, Beirut’s clone serves as the Prefecture Lord of Youlan Prefecture in the Azure Blue Prefecture. His reputation is formidable enough that he is considered the foremost figure on the Bloodridge Continent, with strength no weaker than a Grand Perfection despite not being one. 215 228

Appearance

Beirut usually presents himself as an unremarkable elderly man, though his presence can become overwhelmingly dangerous when he chooses to reveal it. 37

• Long, loose black hair.
• Long black beard reaching his chest.
• Simple black robes.
• Small, sharp eyes described as deep and vast like a starry sky. 37
• His eyes are also characterized as distinctly mouse-like. 161

Personality

Beirut is shrewd, theatrical, and fond of concealing the full truth behind a convincing performance. He maintained the fiction that he merely served the Sovereign while personally granting Olivier an artifact, missions, and rewards; Azure Fire explicitly regarded his acting highly. 57 60

He is highly appreciative of exceptional talent. Olivier’s rapid fusion of Light and Darkness Laws repeatedly astonishes him, and he selected Olivier as a Sovereign’s Emissary after judging his potential extraordinary. 37 56 57 Beirut also seeks to cultivate promising figures such as Linley and Taros, though his standards rise sharply after witnessing Olivier and Linley’s growth. 235

Though often calculating and stingy in negotiations over Sovereign Power, Beirut shows genuine concern for those close to him, especially Bebe, Linley’s family, and the Four Divine Beasts Clan. 74 215 245

Abilities & Skills

God-Eater

As a God-Eater Rat, Beirut possesses the Innate Divine Ability God-Eater.

• Bebe — Fellow God-Eater Rat treated with grandfatherly affection; Beirut accepts that Bebe’s attachment to Linley is stronger. 37
• Linley — Close associate whose potential Beirut hopes to cultivate toward Sovereignhood. Beirut’s aid to the Four Divine Beasts Clan is driven by his connection and karmic debt to Linley. 235 245

Story Role / Major Arcs

Graveyard of the Gods

Beirut receives the Yulan Continent’s Deity-level experts at his metal castle before the Graveyard opens. He praises Olivier’s rare fusion talent, offers potential guidance in the Laws of Darkness, and acts as the Graveyard’s administrator. 37 38

After observing Olivier’s exceptional progress through the Graveyard, Beirut sends Azure Fire to humble him and remind him that stronger beings exist. He then appoints Olivier as a Sovereign’s Emissary and promises him a Sovereign Artifact. 56 57

Adkins Mission

Beirut awards Olivier a wind-attribute Sovereign longsword, then assigns him the condition-bound mission of killing Adkins without using it. The reward is Sovereign Power, intended both as compensation and as a test of Olivier’s growth. 60

Following Adkins’ death, Beirut feigns anger over Adkins’ final insult before giving Olivier ten drops of Sovereign Power. He encourages Olivier to leave the Yulan Continent for the Divine Planes, where stronger opponents and faster advancement await. 73 74

Youlan Prefecture and the Four Divine Beasts Clan

As Youlan Prefecture Lord, Beirut receives Olivier and later reveals his concern for the Four Divine Beasts Clan. He delays direct intervention until Linley’s return, intending to resolve the clans’ long-standing conflict decisively. 231

Beirut orchestrates the Eight Great Clans’ gathering at the Ancestral Mountain Range, announces that the conflict will end, and maneuvers Olivier into confronting the opposition when a Grand Perfection’s deterrence becomes necessary. 245 246

Four Divine Beasts Research

Beirut entrusts Olivier with the Four Divine Beasts’ essence blood and explains the origin of the Divine Beasts and his own rise to Sovereignhood. He hopes Olivier’s research can reveal a method to fuse their Innate Divine Abilities and increase Beirut’s own strength. 232 234
