“Business? What do you mean?” Wyatt asked Zaltan in confusion. He did not understand why Zaltan used that particular word and in that manner. He was here to learn why his library card got flagged. If possible, try and resolve it without involving the devil merchant code.
“Are you really that clueless, or are you pretending to be clueless?” Zaltan asked Wyatt in surprise, seeing Wyatt did not seem to know what he was talking about.
“What are you talking about?” Wyatt asked in annoyance, but he understood that he must have missed something big for Zaltan to ask him this.
“Did you not recently visit your native sector?” Zaltan asked, hinting at Wyatt.
“No, I haven’t been there. Why do you ask? Did something happen?” Wyatt asked, sensing that something big might have happened for Zaltan to act this way.
“That explains it. But this discussion would have been smoother and faster had you known what was up. Still, let me ask you, Why do you think your library card was flagged?” Zaltan seemed to finally understand Wyatt had no idea of what was happening.
“I have no idea,” Wyatt said with a straight face, even though one thing came to his mind, ‘him abusing the library card’s free reading time.’
“It was because somebody asked the Librarian to,” Zaltan revealed, shocking Wyatt and Dredre.
“Who could possibly get the Librarian to ban a customer?” Wyatt asked Zaltan in utter shock. He did not understand who held the power to order the being that managed to gather the knowledge of the myriad realms.
“Nobody can do that. The reason the Librarian banned you was because that particular person cashed in an age-old favor asking the Librarian to ban a young demon merchant, Dalton Wyatt, from using the Infinity library.
For someone to use the favor of the Librarian over something so trivial when they could have asked the Librarian to help them with anything, they must really not like you. How much does this person hate you to do something like this?” Zaltan explained. He did not understand how could any being hate someone so much. Though Zaltan said they could use the favor for anything, he knew the Librarian would never agree to act as a hired thug for others let alone a killer.
“Belphegor!” Wyatt blurted, as there was only one being in the entire devil merchant code that would hate him so much.
“Ding! Ding! Ding! Correct answer. It isn’t just the infinity library, Belphegor is using his influence to blacklist you, making it so that no shop or merchant in this sector will conduct any sort of business with you. I do not know what you did to him, but I heard he is gathering a large number of demon/devil merchants to plan something big,” Zaltan informed Wyatt, hearing him guess correctly who it was behind his library card being flagged.
“It is a long story, I did not think he would be this petty though,” Wyatt was under the impression that once he incubated the plague egg in his body Belphegor would leave him alone feeling that Wyatt was going to die soon and he would have one less enemy to worry about. But now it turns out Belphegor had still not given upon him.
From the actions of Belphegor using the Librarian’s favor to stop Wyatt from accessing the Infinity library one can understand that he was trying to stop Wyatt from finding a way to undo the plague he had created. After all, there were only two places that could help Wyatt undo the plague in his body, the devil merchant code and the infinity library.
Belphegor had already seen Wyatt use the devil merchant code to seal the plague he incubated in his body because he did not have the offering enough to get the devil merchant code to get rid of the plague that was created using a realm fragment and the life force of his Worldhog incarnation. Leaving only one other way for Wyatt to get rid of the plague, and it was a lot cheaper than asking for help from the devil merchant code, the infinity library.
Using the devil merchant code Wyatt had sealed the plague egg, so it would take a while before it could break the seal to hatch and go berserk but this time was enough for someone like Wyatt’s intellect to make use of the knowledge in the infinity library to find the solution for his problem.
This was the reason why Belphegor did not hesitate to make use of the Librarian’s favor to cut off Wyatt’s access to the Infinity library. Considering that he already lost a realm fragment over this, the Librarian’s favor was nothing compared to it. After all, the usefulness of the Librarian’s favor depended on the Librarian’s intent and interest, paling in comparison to a realm fragment.
Think of this Wyatt realized, by influencing the demon and devil merchants to not conduct any business with him Belphegor was doing everything in his power to cut his chance to try and find a solution to the sealed plague egg incubated in his body.
So Belphegor was not being petty but cautious. Only by ensuring that Wyatt died painfully under the influence of the plague can Belphegor ensure that Wyatt’s soul doesn’t enter the river of souls in the reincarnation cycle but instead enters his hell in the dark realm. Where he can put Wyatt’s soul through every torture technique in the myraid realms.
Belphrgor was doing everything in his power to ensure that his loss of Worldhog incarnation and a realm fragment pans out and was worth it.
Realizing this Wyatt did not know whether to laugh or cry as in his own misguided way Belphegor had still managed to make things difficult for him. Wyatt did not care for the shops and merchants of Sector DS0909 blacklisting him, he only cared for the infinity library and the seemingly infinity knowledge gathered in it.
