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.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPHsbMv7Xa
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."
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLnnHqgDHv
Denji: "Got it."
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6q4KijaLK
Power: "No problem, topknot."
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3xzixdSqC
Super: "Sure."
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzPUSoUZ0T
Aki: "Arai, stay close beside me and Himeno," he directed.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeX4JKMHxln
Arai: "Yes, Sir!"
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEKSZBfZ3w
Aki: "And Kobeni, you'll stay in the back."
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtA1CjGs4c
Kobeni: "Understood."
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKhgumqfcJ
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.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIMRampbNy
Denji (Bored): "Ugh... There doesn't seem to be a devil around here. We could be stuck here for hours."
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwRnDpH6QM
Aki (Focused): "Stay focused, Denji. The devil is here somewhere."
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8PbWggb0N
The group pressed forward in their pursuit, determined to find their target. Suddenly, Himeno's instincts kicked in, prompting her to command a halt.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIL37BfDn5
Himeno (Instinctive): "Stop,"
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMf2jxAnMZ
Himeno: "Incoming."
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yOArG64hD
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.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2IyRx3NIH
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.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQNlpTKuAi
Power (Victorious): "Yeah! Did you all witness the great and almighty Power in action? That pathetic devil froze in mid-air in sheer terror!"
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKbFZJ2zpc
Himeno (Corrective): "Actually, Power, I used the ghost devil to immobilize it. It didn't freeze out of fear or anything like that."
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldscHQUgzb
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.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduESHjCUxO
Arai, his voice tinged with confusion and unease, said, "Isn't that...? Wait a moment."
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ661OpDAQQ5
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.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWRsmoprPE
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.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwq18cB9wWt
Himeno: "Hold on, Kobeni! Make double peace signs and stay where you are!" she instructed.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCW3Er2g8r
Kobeni, puzzled but willing to cooperate, formed two peace signs with her hands and nodded in affirmation.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWxyjg9bPg
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.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOF01fRwOx
Aki (Confused): "What in the—"
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMc5hcNxG28
But before he could finish, he came to a realization.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeQ5Onynsj
Aki: "Kobeni, stand over here for a second," Aki instructed, his voice laced with a hint of urgency.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphN28JMGmd
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.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2ZaHL0Q5Q
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.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahplt6qIQV
Aki: "Dammit,"
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62UEvo2Z2M
Denji quickly exited a room across from the room he had entered and relayed his discovery to the group.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFC4G6vj79y
Denji: "Guys! These rooms lead to other rooms across the hall!"
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5QWvPm9Mw
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.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtxhGDYNac
Aki (Concerned): "Has anyone else noticed that all the clocks have been stuck at 8:18 for some time now?"
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsHHpwoegQ
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.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAR8TDxmgXw
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.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGarJpX9SXm
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."
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOi71LTlgFz
Himeno: taking a drag from her cigarette, inquired with a touch of concern, "Aki, is the flesh piece reacting?"
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUSWB1yUVv
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."
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWU1XS61uga
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."
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzc56wpCAF
Arai, (harboring a glimmer of hope): "But if nobody hears from us for a while, surely they'll send someone to rescue us, right?"
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKkmCOp1JV
Aki: "I doubt it. Even if they did, they'd likely end up in the same predicament as us."
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7HKHZHXx6
Denji (increasingly impatient): "Super, quit fooling around. Can't you just teleport us out of here?"
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiKWhUr6jQ
Super: "That's not how my ability works. I need to see the power in action to copy and use it."
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7q1Iukgwly
Denji (disbelief): "So you're telling me that in all your time being alive, you've never thought to copy teleportation?!"
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVpKoc7vuO
Super (defensively): "No, because I never needed it!"
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoGPJanuW3
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.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXODTQNBxBH
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.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfrKbcwdd1
Denji: still groggy, inquired, "Have we figured out a way off the 8th floor yet?"
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gB7w7rBHe
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..."
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDLNsfApcg
Denji: growing increasingly worried, interrupted, "Has something happened to Power?"
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnVjp52gPO
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.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLRo9n0RQI
Denji (Relieved): "She's okay. She's always like this."
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNDo1JvpBk
Himeno, her curiosity piqued, takes a seat on the window sill, lighting a cigarette and inhaling deeply before exhaling a plume of smoke.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrWCN4XMAf
They spend the next few minutes in casual conversation, with Denji and Power exchanging ideas for activities while Himeno continues to enjoy her cigarette.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeZnkXsUOY
The door swings open, and Aki steps into the room.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzhMp5awtD
Aki: "Himeno, do you have any cigarettes left?"
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOv0a4B8Qn
Himeno (exhaling a plume of smoke) "Sorry, this is my last one."
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfkYsD0ImJ
Aki approaches Himeno, a request in his eyes
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqeoIeWnJt
Aki: “Let me have it please..”
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bR70D4Pw2
Himeno: "If you insist," Himeno concedes, taking the cigarette from her mouth and placing it into Aki's.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1mLlF90DF
Denji and Power share a snicker, recognizing the humorous context of this indirect exchange.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGukpjCL3s
Aki (Now smoking): "I've got bad news. That devil Power killed earlier has grown substantially larger."
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTRycySXlr
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Oe927kN1w
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.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2HyPUfIQm
Kobeni (Her voice trembling with terror): "Denji... let it... let it eat you..."
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5whFmmlJ8
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.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1tBf24B4x
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."
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUdBlnyHmE
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.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2lQuSzkqh
Super: "It's alright, Kobeni," he reassured her, "everything is going to be alright. Just stay calm, okay?"
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIfh1l7BaE
Kobeni nodded in understanding, staying close to Super, finding comfort in his presence amid the chaos.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8R7JkYuL2C
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.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCPYyFouan
Himeno (Impatient): "God, that thing is obnoxious. Aki, can't you use the Fox Devil to swallow this thing?"
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvf8TbigXyD
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.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwK9Ll7Tg7
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."
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmu1KD8nFy0
Himeno (Undeterred): "The Fox Devil's body is in Kyoto, so that makes sense. Let's see what my ghost can do then."
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtVbIOLiV3
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
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFiYEGhEOd
Eternity Devil (In Pain): “That hurt! It hurts! Oh, it hurts! The pain!”
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uPJbUKHqb
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.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNhmCH4Jik
Himeno: "Wh-It got bigger?"
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftcAzmnTqt
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."
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYKIZxRuSX
Denji (Skeptical): "Yeah right! You probably won't let them go, even if I do die—"
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9kF1jSqly
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."
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kzebysZAG
Arai, emerging from his room, presented a bold suggestion.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzqyvQ8tLV
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!"
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafqbAqdklf
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0z5dLQTbw
Aki (Firmly): "The devil wants Denji dead, which means his death could benefit it in some way. That's why we're not accepting."
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWutZw3T9c
Himeno: "I'm with him."
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AefEof1Yb
Arai: "But..."
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yJh3d5DKX
Power: "I also agree with topknot! Denji shall not die if I have anything to say about it!"
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXV4yM9porF
Super (Continuing to provide comfort to Kobeni): "Yeah, we're not killing Denji. He stays, and that's that."
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpLASa7ehy
Aki: "Exactly. We're devil hunters. We only kill devils."
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbWxI0hQ3S
Power: "Yay! Shall we wrestle to pass the time?"
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoEViTme2M
Denji: "What? No—"
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTmjn0Z9T7
Before he could object further, Power counted down, "3, 2, 1, BEGIN!"
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqgtc0VCyN
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.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIR9JPWMoY
Himeno: "Aki, do you have any kind of plan to get us all out of here?"
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzTQdWXYBS
Aki: "If what the devil says is true, we can't kill it. But we aren't killing Denji, either."
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiS2LBbpemG
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHUhFkRTNu
Himeno: "So, is the plan to die, then?"
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhPtGQAwAd
Aki, with a heavy heart, let out a deep sigh and replied, "If we truly run out of options, I'll use the sword."
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMbTygi0yO
But before Aki could finish his sentence, Himeno appeared beside him, her expression deadly serious.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wzVqHAZn3
Himeno: "No, you won't."
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTXaRhXnnm
Denji: "If that thing can get us out of here, shouldn't he use it?"
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIRyL5L1Fl
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."
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9z7Li96LsB
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.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXqkCK3IKt
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.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGbK7Ecad2
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!"
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpT3E5jq6Pd
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.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJl5Tpva2h
Eternity Devil: "Give me Denji's heart!"
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9K1yFomV1
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.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYTlXIGoFJ
Kobeni (Overwhelmed by fear) "Somebody, anybody, kill Denji! Please! Make him dead!"
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhj8xtxRCtv
Super, his voice filled with urgency, implored, "Kobeni, calm down! Fearing it will make it stronger! Please!"
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvvzekKlvN
Arai: "We're running out of time! Someone, please, just kill Denji!"
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlXNuflGpt
Aki: "I'm using the sword... Are you okay with that, Himeno?"
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYWbgpl36v
Himeno, using her ghost devil, promptly restrained Aki.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxZHimP3tR
Denji: "Whoa, lady! What the hell?"
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgSrLMHvYM
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.”
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYATnFWAqt
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.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpWl6WZjlC
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."
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQyTr7CcYn
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.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGfNf2z3Ud
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."
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvcRJzP9xx
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."
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwigXcDOKfD
Denji enthusiastically agreed: "Ohh! Yeah! That could work!"
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctYAkcBWCJ
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.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08Bs4wKhUh
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.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6Vv1GqRic
Eternity Devil (In Pain): “Oh! Ow! Ow! Ow! Oh God! The pain! Give up! You’ll never get to my heart!”
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiywb4OPlY1
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.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDR7g7gCcM
Days go by and the eternity devil finally gives up. He reveals his heart begins for them to kill him already.
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZn7qCSL8b
Eternity Devil (Extremely Weak): “This is my heart.. I give up.. Please.. Kill me..”
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMjwisSrdw
Denji (Chainsaw Form): “What?! Already? I was having fun!”
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ88dMsaJ4X
Super: “Yeah! It was like being in a kiddie pool!”
