Later in the day, Aki, Himeno, Kobeni, Arai, Denji, Super, and Power assembled in front of a hotel, a determined air about them. Aki, with a chunk of the gun devil suspended from a string, raised it, and it subtly but unmistakably indicated the direction of another piece of the devil within the hotel.Later in the day, Aki, Himeno, Kobeni, Arai, Denji, Super, and Power assembled in front of a hotel, a determined air about them. Aki, with a chunk of the gun devil suspended from a string, raised it, and it subtly but unmistakably indicated the direction of another piece of the devil within the hotel.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukB0XR3YpE
Aki: "There's another part of the gun devil in there. Let's proceed inside, locate the devil, eliminate it, and make a swift exit." He carefully stowed the fragment in his pocket before continuing, "Denji, Super, Power, you three will take the lead and act on my command."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusjGtiKin1
Denji: "Got it."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4q3O2HSo6J
Power: "No problem, topknot."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHdhUHuw1N
Super: "Sure."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZA1Pm5J4k
Aki: "Arai, stay close beside me and Himeno," he directed.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPyE3aESHe
Arai: "Yes, Sir!"
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNAHIFB9J2
Aki: "And Kobeni, you'll stay in the back."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8O0rCdKfN
Kobeni: "Understood."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSDnHhC0lT
The team entered the hotel, systematically navigating its various floors in search of the devil's presence. Their journey brought them to the 8th floor, where they continued their diligent search, combing the area for any signs of the elusive foe.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYBj6AfjtZ
Denji (Bored): "Ugh... There doesn't seem to be a devil around here. We could be stuck here for hours."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUWVTjmirk
Aki (Focused): "Stay focused, Denji. The devil is here somewhere."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzApfMqAnKQ
The group pressed forward in their pursuit, determined to find their target. Suddenly, Himeno's instincts kicked in, prompting her to command a halt.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwb3fn6D7L
Himeno (Instinctive): "Stop,"
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlbVtkBqBZ
Himeno: "Incoming."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqfBOCLwVL
The tension rose as a door to one of the rooms slowly creaked open, revealing a devil composed of nothing more than a head, a foot, and a hand. The devil's malicious grin filled the air as it locked eyes with the group, and without hesitation, it lunged at Denji.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7D8kKJsnL
However, Himeno acted swiftly, harnessing the power of her ghost devils to intercept the airborne threat. Capitalizing on this opportunity, Power manifested a compact blood sword and sliced the devil in two,splattering its purple-ish blood all over the wall and floor, and temporarily eliminating the menace.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BBGnsEyz1
Power (Victorious): "Yeah! Did you all witness the great and almighty Power in action? That pathetic devil froze in mid-air in sheer terror!"
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0xW8aVj7i
Himeno (Corrective): "Actually, Power, I used the ghost devil to immobilize it. It didn't freeze out of fear or anything like that."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaPD0Eix39
Power, undeterred by Himeno's correction, continued her enthusiastic boasting. However, the group eventually decided to advance to the 9th floor. Climbing the stairs, they began their ascent, but Arai, with a troubled expression, noticed something peculiar. The same blood splatter from the devil Power killed. His anxiety became evident as he pointed it out.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHV3na2naC
Arai, his voice tinged with confusion and unease, said, "Isn't that...? Wait a moment."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAw6YGXC6Rq
Arai retraced his steps, heading back down the stairs, but an odd phenomenon occurred. No matter how many times he descended, he found himself back on the same floor. It was as if he were trapped in a loop. This strange occurrence didn't escape the notice of Himeno and Aki.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaa1DsEG8q
Observing Arai's repetitive attempts to descend the stairs, Himeno decided to take action. She called out to Kobeni, who was still on the 8th floor.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQM09S14OxJ
Himeno: "Hold on, Kobeni! Make double peace signs and stay where you are!" she instructed.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3avek3VPfx
Kobeni, puzzled but willing to cooperate, formed two peace signs with her hands and nodded in affirmation.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZEv9RGbPP
Himeno descended the stairs, only to find herself back on the same floor, with Kobeni still in her line of sight, making the peace signs. She forced a nervous smile and muttered a quiet curse under her breath. Realization struck Kobeni, who let out a horrified scream upon understanding that they were now trapped on the 8th floor, caught in a baffling and disconcerting loop.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAj2dekZFa
Aki (Confused): "What in the—"
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwg0gCZaXv6
But before he could finish, he came to a realization.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwNp3AY085
Aki: "Kobeni, stand over here for a second," Aki instructed, his voice laced with a hint of urgency.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCNcAPWNNp
Kobeni complied promptly, her nerves causing her to tremble slightly. Aki, determined to solve this, opened the door to one of the nearby rooms and stepped inside, closing the door behind him. Inside, he surveyed the room's windows, recognizing that they offered a rather peculiar connection to adjacent rooms.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkAyhVpRdY
Aki made his way to one of the windows, carefully climbing over to the neighboring room. Upon exiting that room, he emerged from a door on the exact opposite side of the hallway, confirming their grim predicament.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpISAnDPxt
Aki: "Dammit,"
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVySmfmNSa
Denji quickly exited a room across from the room he had entered and relayed his discovery to the group.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmhewkG0vr
Denji: "Guys! These rooms lead to other rooms across the hall!"
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJfK6PO2iL
Aki: "I had a feeling. We're stuck here."
Minutes passed, and the group found themselves gathered in a room, engaged in a discussion about the bizarre circumstances that had ensnared them. Aki, still bewildered by the situation, couldn't help but notice a recurring anomaly – every clock he encountered displayed the unchanging time of 8:18.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeFPDepkPA
Aki (Concerned): "Has anyone else noticed that all the clocks have been stuck at 8:18 for some time now?"
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpt3EOEz8KD
The group collectively turned their attention to the clock situated on a small desk between the beds, confirming Aki's statement as the time remained stubbornly fixed at 8:18. Aki's gaze then shifted toward Super, hoping he might have some insight into their predicament.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lXIkGsZpl
Aki (Concerned): "Super, do you have any idea what's happening here? Is there anything you can do about it?" Aki inquired with a trace of anxiety in his tone.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq67XWtV5X6
Super (Regretfully): "I'm sorry, there's not much I can do in this situation. While I can handle our food and drink needs without any issues, what's occurring here is that time itself has been frozen. Regrettably, I can't do much to reverse it."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqDIapYTnQ
Himeno: taking a drag from her cigarette, inquired with a touch of concern, "Aki, is the flesh piece reacting?"
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Apis0F0ll
Aki: his brows furrowed, retrieved the gun devil piece from his pocket and examined it closely. "Actually," he began, "it's completely dormant. Not a single sign of movement."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7ICCUUfzU
Himeno (exhaled a frustrated puff of smoke): "Damn," she muttered, "that devil from before was bait, and we fell right into its trap. I've never seen a devil attempt something so cunning. It must have a vendetta against one of us."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWL9Txa0mM
Arai, (harboring a glimmer of hope): "But if nobody hears from us for a while, surely they'll send someone to rescue us, right?"
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS98Qt68HAF
Aki: "I doubt it. Even if they did, they'd likely end up in the same predicament as us."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRxi0VQOiU
Denji (increasingly impatient): "Super, quit fooling around. Can't you just teleport us out of here?"
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EQnTDFTlw
Super: "That's not how my ability works. I need to see the power in action to copy and use it."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUelvGAHrN
Denji (disbelief): "So you're telling me that in all your time being alive, you've never thought to copy teleportation?!"
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3V1PxD46o
Super (defensively): "No, because I never needed it!"
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYujxYWPXVr
Denji and Super's argument escalated, leading to a heated exchange before it was eventually quelled. Kobeni, overwhelmed by fear, couldn't contain her emotions any longer and began to cry. Arai, the ever-supportive one, rushed to her side, attempting to comfort her.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfgyRvhh26
However, Power responded quite differently to Kobeni's distress, unable to resist a chuckle at her expense. Denji, clearly tired and drained from the ordeal, sought refuge in one of the beds, taking a much-needed nap. Several minutes or perhaps hours later, Himeno gently roused him from his slumber.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8ApA8EkOK
Denji: still groggy, inquired, "Have we figured out a way off the 8th floor yet?"
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz78H8Ztbzo
Himeno: sighed and shook her head, conveying the unfortunate news. "I hate to break it to you, but not yet," she admitted, taking a seat on the bed. "While you were napping, we discovered that the power and electricity are still functional. Super, thankfully, managed to copy the ability to materialize food, so we have an abundance of supplies. But, honestly, everyone is worn out. Aki has been tirelessly searching for the devil, despite my advice to take a break. Arai, who was helping Aki initially, has locked himself in another room, battling a panic attack. Kobeni had a panic episode and tried to drink from the toilet bowl, so I had Super sedate her and keep an eye on her. As for Power..."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFlflLwIAu
Denji: growing increasingly worried, interrupted, "Has something happened to Power?"
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmI0G4vYVg
The scene shifts to Denji and Himeno standing before Power, who lounges on a bed, enthusiastically articulating her elaborate plan to become the prime minister and increase taxes to an astounding 100% purely for her own amusement.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2AEabTzXz
Denji (Relieved): "She's okay. She's always like this."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsmyKS5Tmk
Himeno, her curiosity piqued, takes a seat on the window sill, lighting a cigarette and inhaling deeply before exhaling a plume of smoke.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvSTxpl6Po
They spend the next few minutes in casual conversation, with Denji and Power exchanging ideas for activities while Himeno continues to enjoy her cigarette.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUeIJ8uQw3
The door swings open, and Aki steps into the room.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYM7ktvgt4l
Aki: "Himeno, do you have any cigarettes left?"
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjcVxRyPHC
Himeno (exhaling a plume of smoke) "Sorry, this is my last one."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQ0AmjKYKq
Aki approaches Himeno, a request in his eyes
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgQc8xGFsB
Aki: “Let me have it please..”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcwJxi9JX1
Himeno: "If you insist," Himeno concedes, taking the cigarette from her mouth and placing it into Aki's.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwfUfLTTbh
Denji and Power share a snicker, recognizing the humorous context of this indirect exchange.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBiKqZACFc
Aki (Now smoking): "I've got bad news. That devil Power killed earlier has grown substantially larger."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdARGvi4rXF
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzoWkfgdGN
In the hallway, a door splintered open, revealing a grotesque mass that defied description—a nightmarish amalgamation of faces, flesh, and random body parts oozing out of the entrance. Aki, Himeno, Denji, and Power rushed out to confront the horrifying spectacle, while Super, emerging from the room he shared with Kobeni, voiced his annoyance at the disturbance.
Super (Annoyed): "What the hell is going on out here?"
Aki: poised for a fight, responded urgently, "The devil Power killed earlier has grown larger!"
To the group's astonishment, the Eternity Devil spoke with a malicious tone, its words reverberating through the corridor.
Eternity Devil: "Humans, hear me, foolish humans. I offer you a contract."
Denji: "It talks?!"
Aki (Cautiously intrigued) "A contract?"
Eternity Devil (Dripping with malevolence): "Feed me the human known as Denji, even his corpse will suffice. Let me devour him. If you comply, I will permit the rest of you to depart in peace, free to leave. Now, accept this contract. Do it... do it…”
Gradually, the group became aware of a creaking sound. The door that Super had previously exited was slowly pushed open by Kobeni, who clutched a knife in trembling hands. She stepped out of the room, visibly terrified and drenched in sweat, each step quivering with fear. In a shaky voice, she spoke.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fSSabeEgm
Kobeni (Her voice trembling with terror): "Denji... let it... let it eat you..."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyy2gw1fdp
Denji regarded her with a mix of caution and confusion, unsure of what had prompted this sudden and dire request. Kobeni took a tentative step forward, then, in a sudden frenzy, she screamed and lunged toward Denji, brandishing the knife with intent to harm. Super acted swiftly, intervening and restraining her by grabbing her arms and forcing them to her sides, causing her to drop the weapon. In a remarkably composed and reassuring manner, he addressed her.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjX0LYt642
Super: "No, Kobeni," Super said gently but firmly, "we're not going to harm Denji. Please, just calm down. We'll find a way out of here, I promise, alright? Just relax."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRM4GNGQQOF
Kobeni, slowly absorbing Super's words, managed to ease her anxiety somewhat. Super, in a compassionate gesture, enveloped her in a gentle and soothing embrace, effectively calming her down completely.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFI45JsnWqW
Super: "It's alright, Kobeni," he reassured her, "everything is going to be alright. Just stay calm, okay?"
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5C038eoMdf
Kobeni nodded in understanding, staying close to Super, finding comfort in his presence amid the chaos.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQd1hUIEwu
With Kobeni now calm and under Super's care, the group redirected their attention to the Eternity Devil, which continued to obstruct their path, an imposing and obnoxious presence in their way.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7n5tbqWeP2
Himeno (Impatient): "God, that thing is obnoxious. Aki, can't you use the Fox Devil to swallow this thing?"
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsMyaSzFJu
Aki, responding to her suggestion, raised his hand and conjured a fox-like head with the gap between his fingers and thumb focused on the Eternity Devil.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9belNNs5UN
Aki: "Kon..." but to his disappointment, there was no sign of the Fox Devil's arrival. He sighed, delivering the disheartening news, "Looks like the Fox Devil isn't coming. We're cut off from the rest of the world."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDgmoBuBpK
Himeno (Undeterred): "The Fox Devil's body is in Kyoto, so that makes sense. Let's see what my ghost can do then."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTlxY37Ay0
Himeno extended her arm in the direction of the Eternity Devil. One of her ghost devils, its form unseen, stretched out toward the Eternity Devil and firmly grasped a part of it, exerting enough force to tear off a portion of the malevolent entity splattering blood all over it, and causing it to bellow in agony
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlULN1nPbz
Eternity Devil (In Pain): “That hurt! It hurts! Oh, it hurts! The pain!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaD2DhX65t
The Eternity Devil's grotesque form continued to expand, filling more of the hallway and extending its many long-reaching arms. The group retreated several steps, keeping a safe distance from its nightmarish reach.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MqvqdeGIQ
Himeno: "Wh-It got bigger?"
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9xcDfkhT9
Eternity Devil: "It's pointless! This isn't my main body. You won't find my heart here. You're inside my stomach, and I have no weaknesses on this eighth floor. There is no way to survive this place, apart from accepting my offer."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tymzoCuQm
Denji (Skeptical): "Yeah right! You probably won't let them go, even if I do die—"
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATm9J9Hihg
Himeno: "Actually, no. It mentioned a 'contract,' right? Those kinds of terms hold a strong sway when a devil is involved. If one side fulfills the deal, the other has no choice but to do the same, or else. Breaking the contract results in death. So, if we fed you to it, we'd be released."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjpOdWdAt1
Arai, emerging from his room, presented a bold suggestion.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaz5RzjT2Bv
Arai: "We should kill him, Once he's dead, we can formulate another plan, and we can get out of here. Otherwise, we're all going to die. Devil Hunters are legally allowed to make contracts with devils. We should do it!"
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRmmINJQ69
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUgsBMhX2W
Aki (Firmly): "The devil wants Denji dead, which means his death could benefit it in some way. That's why we're not accepting."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepYljxA9lu
Himeno: "I'm with him."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqSJF2JXwN
Arai: "But..."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnZIX9iO1i
Power: "I also agree with topknot! Denji shall not die if I have anything to say about it!"
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ggQibZUwY
Super (Continuing to provide comfort to Kobeni): "Yeah, we're not killing Denji. He stays, and that's that."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsqAj9spAF
Aki: "Exactly. We're devil hunters. We only kill devils."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTCUKlJKr9
Power: "Yay! Shall we wrestle to pass the time?"
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mX9eyptXT
Denji: "What? No—"
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmy1dEf4Svt
Before he could object further, Power counted down, "3, 2, 1, BEGIN!"
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeazsgziYY0
With that, Power pounced on Denji, and they began to wrestle, despite Denji's initial reluctance. Eventually, they all found themselves sitting in the hallway, their situation seeming increasingly dire.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTP8loVekH
Himeno: "Aki, do you have any kind of plan to get us all out of here?"
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvI1DnFYHT
Aki: "If what the devil says is true, we can't kill it. But we aren't killing Denji, either."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfGVmm8Y8p
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYkKc9qsCl
Himeno: "So, is the plan to die, then?"
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ho06JbRz8
Aki, with a heavy heart, let out a deep sigh and replied, "If we truly run out of options, I'll use the sword."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygrBccnIrg
But before Aki could finish his sentence, Himeno appeared beside him, her expression deadly serious.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpxWNYupir
Himeno: "No, you won't."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkub9lpcA1
Denji: "If that thing can get us out of here, shouldn't he use it?"
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaOzohhBqX
Himeno: "He shouldn't use it even if we're out of options. If it does come down to that, then you'll have to die, Denji."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG36hkmiBWC
Meanwhile, Super and Kobeni found themselves sitting in one of the rooms. Super, needing to use the restroom, got up and left Kobeni alone in the room. As she sat there, anxiety started to grip her, and it felt as if the walls were closing in. Her breathing quickened, and she began to hyperventilate. In a moment of sheer panic, she let out a scream that reverberated throughout the entire floor, jolting everyone to attention and inciting the Eternity Devil to laugh malevolently and grow even larger.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwXmg9Xp88
Aki, Himeno, Denji, and Power, driven by fear and urgency, fled as the corridor seemed to extend indefinitely, chased by the ever-expanding Eternity Devil.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiz4cd2691
The Eternity Devil's taunts echoed ominously, "Kill Denji... Give me his heart... Give it! I will grow as your fear grows... And with your terror, I will capture you! So, fear me more! Be overcome by your impending death! Dread everything. I will be the one to kill Chainsaw... It will be me! The Eternity Devil!"
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wKQLQd8Y7
As they fled, the hallway began to tilt, causing everything that was once upright to topple over. The group narrowly managed to find refuge in a room just in time before the hallway tilted fully, revealing the Eternity Devil below. Its massive, gaping mouth, filled with countless other grotesque mouths and a tangle of flesh, faces, and body parts, waited menacingly beneath them.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqf0kU6DPZF
Eternity Devil: "Give me Denji's heart!"
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9polwKPyzN
Aki gazed down at the nightmarish scene below, his attention drawn to a room door across from them as it swung open. In that doorway, he spotted Kobeni, Arai, and Super, with the latter trying desperately to calm Kobeni once more.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspIXeH1WES
Kobeni (Overwhelmed by fear) "Somebody, anybody, kill Denji! Please! Make him dead!"
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVeNEZFtdc
Super, his voice filled with urgency, implored, "Kobeni, calm down! Fearing it will make it stronger! Please!"
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubTfrnTKFh
Arai: "We're running out of time! Someone, please, just kill Denji!"
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJeqGCFdX3
Aki: "I'm using the sword... Are you okay with that, Himeno?"
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7daKSzqr2S
Himeno, using her ghost devil, promptly restrained Aki.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2bKep5yc2
Denji: "Whoa, lady! What the hell?"
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgNS3g0cTi
Himeno: “We can Probably get out of here if he uses that sword.. But the pact is one that takes a lot of years off Aki’s life in exchange. He’s got too much to live for. I’m sorry, Denji.”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkuXKaT3LZ
Suddenly, Denji found himself pinned down by Arai, who was desperately attempting to keep him still. Out of nowhere, Kobeni emerged, wielding yet another knife, and charged, poised to stab Denji. However, her attack was swiftly thwarted by Super, who employed his telekinesis to intervene.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFzwyb640o
Super (irritated): "Kobeni, I've been as nice as possible, but clearly, you don't understand the meaning of the words 'calm down.' So now, you get to play the 'Shut up and sit down' game."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFdU5ihOOQ
Using his telekinesis once more, Super disarmed Kobeni, removing the knife from her hand. He then ensnared her tightly in several sheets from the nearby beds, immobilizing her and gently placing her on the floor. Kneeling down, he applied just enough force to jab her in the gut, conveying his point through a controlled amount of pain. Afterward, he stood back up and pointed at a wall, using his telekinesis to force Arai into it, freeing Denji from his restraint.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwnmhGB2hY
Super adopted a deadly serious tone as he addressed them all: "I don't care how much that devil wants to eat Denji, and I don't care how scared you are. Denji will not die. And if any of you try to kill him, that devil down there will be the least of your problems."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjmvcwzEAO
He then turned his attention to Denji, offering a strategic plan,
Super: "Denji, that devil is really susceptible to pain. So, let's get down there and make it feel so much pain that it kills itself."
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUFNMNCYRC
Denji enthusiastically agreed: "Ohh! Yeah! That could work!"
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3ZtqTr1Ae
Both of them nodded in agreement. Denji pulled his ripcord, and Super manifested two extra arms along with four katanas, one for each hand. Together, they leaped into the gaping maw of the Eternity Devil, which cackled ominously as they descended.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHc33IUB4pu
The Eternity Devil as soon as they fully descended into his mouth immediately shuts it thinking he has fully sealed them inside. His teeth are suddenly shattered by Denji in his Chainsaw form and Super with his katanas. The two begin shredding the eternity devil from the inside while it tries to use its many arms and tentacle-like things to try and kill them. Denji buries his chainsaws in the eternity, devils flesh rending and tearing it spewing blood everywhere and causing the devil immeasurable pain.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDEn3hRaac
Eternity Devil (In Pain): “Oh! Ow! Ow! Ow! Oh God! The pain! Give up! You’ll never get to my heart!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcPDgQK8ML
The devil sends tentacles with mouths out towards Denji which bite down on his body making him lose mass amounts of blood and making some of his chainsaws retract. Super cuts the tentacles in half freeing him Denji rips some of the eternity devils flesh off and eats it, gaining back his chainsaws. Denji and Super continue their onslaught, ripping and tearing through the eternity devil and drinking its blood whenever they need to heal.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEmofhgr9R
Days go by and the eternity devil finally gives up. He reveals his heart begins for them to kill him already.
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLXkl3GAvZ
Eternity Devil (Extremely Weak): “This is my heart.. I give up.. Please.. Kill me..”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ExhXyttkK
Denji (Chainsaw Form): “What?! Already? I was having fun!”
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiToV1eaJXs
