It was far too easy to vex Michael, much to his pleasure. He knew he could never hope for Michael to be anything akin to afraid, so only a fool would make that his goal. Beelzebub was truly only the messenger in this situation, perhaps as the divine one had already gathered. "I know Lucifer will be flattered to hear you inquired but no, I'm sure the Morningstar is far too busy to entertain as amusing a conversation as this." His crooked grin comes easy and his amusement is pure. "No one's come to threaten you Michael, not today anyway. So don't get your feathers all ruffled up. "
His mood immediately shifts and sours when the archangel begins to push the wrong buttons. They were rightfully cast down? It was deserved? "Don't presume to preach to me about the Almighty when I was charged with guiding souls beyond the veil. I've seen what forgiveness looks like. Just as you know very well there was a favored child before you and there will be one after you. Your Lord is fickle and their good graces, fleeting. How long before they grow bored of obedience once more? Why else would humanity have been given free will? I'd be shocked if you haven't asked yourself the same questions by now."
The accursed one is more than willing to be a messenger, a distraction, or any role he needs to play in order to achieve Hell's goals for Pride was not his sin. "I'm pleased you brought that up. We'd like to suggest some boundaries. You and your kin stay out of Amsterdam, New Orleans, and Las Vegas. Likewise, we'll steer clear of Paris, Vatican City, and Jerusalem."
