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.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsQoNiKD07
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."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptGFtjUoQj
Denji: "Got it."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZPcU3Uiqm
Power: "No problem, topknot."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUR0yX42g0
Super: "Sure."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjDIKknJSG
Aki: "Arai, stay close beside me and Himeno," he directed.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspWjTZwcIs
Arai: "Yes, Sir!"
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivGC2c6iyo
Aki: "And Kobeni, you'll stay in the back."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wBoQX0YEv
Kobeni: "Understood."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYYGs32kVh
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.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTWyY0FtRR
Denji (Bored): "Ugh... There doesn't seem to be a devil around here. We could be stuck here for hours."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8hk0TrPON
Aki (Focused): "Stay focused, Denji. The devil is here somewhere."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznVkmtEiq3
The group pressed forward in their pursuit, determined to find their target. Suddenly, Himeno's instincts kicked in, prompting her to command a halt.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lJHMWdCDM
Himeno (Instinctive): "Stop,"
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolhoKriiVI
Himeno: "Incoming."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjqkjEJK2g
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.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6vCFXBDTh
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.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajsDdlA5j4
Power (Victorious): "Yeah! Did you all witness the great and almighty Power in action? That pathetic devil froze in mid-air in sheer terror!"
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjHdCJXy4Q
Himeno (Corrective): "Actually, Power, I used the ghost devil to immobilize it. It didn't freeze out of fear or anything like that."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKnXev1Bcj
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.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjEeld1hVw
Arai, his voice tinged with confusion and unease, said, "Isn't that...? Wait a moment."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXY7UA67HHm
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.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDdVxcALqA
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.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN143jOGqH2
Himeno: "Hold on, Kobeni! Make double peace signs and stay where you are!" she instructed.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYtduMk6af
Kobeni, puzzled but willing to cooperate, formed two peace signs with her hands and nodded in affirmation.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfW4WVA2u6V
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.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3Ag5ivr7f
Aki (Confused): "What in the—"
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6yzLDBAIl
But before he could finish, he came to a realization.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVdAT5CLgu
Aki: "Kobeni, stand over here for a second," Aki instructed, his voice laced with a hint of urgency.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYF73jza5KG
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.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUf3wyn64R
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.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv83Ip5tRcs
Aki: "Dammit,"
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQi2ATBFH8c
Denji quickly exited a room across from the room he had entered and relayed his discovery to the group.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZ7PHNf9ak
Denji: "Guys! These rooms lead to other rooms across the hall!"
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVrah1fZu7
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.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDL108mvY8
Aki (Concerned): "Has anyone else noticed that all the clocks have been stuck at 8:18 for some time now?"
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jMowbQSdg
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.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpciNWPa2D
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.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnX4gVOJBSw
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."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKjB2mUtKp
Himeno: taking a drag from her cigarette, inquired with a touch of concern, "Aki, is the flesh piece reacting?"
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYZugNm42D
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."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9md5Vnutt
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."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRjzlxyPbN
Arai, (harboring a glimmer of hope): "But if nobody hears from us for a while, surely they'll send someone to rescue us, right?"
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjHTo6SBVY
Aki: "I doubt it. Even if they did, they'd likely end up in the same predicament as us."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5dPYYifBX
Denji (increasingly impatient): "Super, quit fooling around. Can't you just teleport us out of here?"
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpT613wcNA
Super: "That's not how my ability works. I need to see the power in action to copy and use it."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGf02yMsNjd
Denji (disbelief): "So you're telling me that in all your time being alive, you've never thought to copy teleportation?!"
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mHaxuVshn
Super (defensively): "No, because I never needed it!"
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCfCdeE5m7
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.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJGRtp1smR
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.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvnXJWayr1
Denji: still groggy, inquired, "Have we figured out a way off the 8th floor yet?"
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kEaISbMpp
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..."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYip5tbJgS
Denji: growing increasingly worried, interrupted, "Has something happened to Power?"
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMP4iObvTwD
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.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1oAjTOZKB
Denji (Relieved): "She's okay. She's always like this."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWJ4GabufJ
Himeno, her curiosity piqued, takes a seat on the window sill, lighting a cigarette and inhaling deeply before exhaling a plume of smoke.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0Y0PcAIu0
They spend the next few minutes in casual conversation, with Denji and Power exchanging ideas for activities while Himeno continues to enjoy her cigarette.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedbSpKEzAo
The door swings open, and Aki steps into the room.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7s4qud3NU
Aki: "Himeno, do you have any cigarettes left?"
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxD1xdiZRK2
Himeno (exhaling a plume of smoke) "Sorry, this is my last one."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLS3Hxu9V22
Aki approaches Himeno, a request in his eyes
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjudbIiNC9
Aki: “Let me have it please..”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANb5MITYA5
Himeno: "If you insist," Himeno concedes, taking the cigarette from her mouth and placing it into Aki's.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIj5svHxcGz
Denji and Power share a snicker, recognizing the humorous context of this indirect exchange.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXl01wFL9wy
Aki (Now smoking): "I've got bad news. That devil Power killed earlier has grown substantially larger."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvSda0holz
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1Hilk99Zj
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.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Klgcqmzyw
Kobeni (Her voice trembling with terror): "Denji... let it... let it eat you..."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1wpyNCmgg
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.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbmRj4iSdy
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."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOOnILljIr
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.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oLlhE5XOh
Super: "It's alright, Kobeni," he reassured her, "everything is going to be alright. Just stay calm, okay?"
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRvrbnXUaR
Kobeni nodded in understanding, staying close to Super, finding comfort in his presence amid the chaos.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9yk3nlqN1
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.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSUy5Ry5uJ
Himeno (Impatient): "God, that thing is obnoxious. Aki, can't you use the Fox Devil to swallow this thing?"
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBDJUyTA2W
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.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqojIyI7YE
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."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3KWjcOcxp
Himeno (Undeterred): "The Fox Devil's body is in Kyoto, so that makes sense. Let's see what my ghost can do then."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpwqWEkBqI
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
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83ql2x4aQq
Eternity Devil (In Pain): “That hurt! It hurts! Oh, it hurts! The pain!”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF31dl8o4Mt
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.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmjlo15oeZ
Himeno: "Wh-It got bigger?"
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw967o7B4Ic
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."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLL0mkbUvMN
Denji (Skeptical): "Yeah right! You probably won't let them go, even if I do die—"
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmchLorHOhv
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."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPbdBer1ap
Arai, emerging from his room, presented a bold suggestion.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGy2N24380
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!"
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFGUcjbiRY
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8R14poyUBj
Aki (Firmly): "The devil wants Denji dead, which means his death could benefit it in some way. That's why we're not accepting."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJa3d7OPko
Himeno: "I'm with him."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXANznXrjH
Arai: "But..."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Y3y7aGBZX
Power: "I also agree with topknot! Denji shall not die if I have anything to say about it!"
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRI0Te9u3M
Super (Continuing to provide comfort to Kobeni): "Yeah, we're not killing Denji. He stays, and that's that."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPP8B1Ooov
Aki: "Exactly. We're devil hunters. We only kill devils."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRSSxwPwmM
Power: "Yay! Shall we wrestle to pass the time?"
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3L2jOc3fqi
Denji: "What? No—"
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcRWUf7Ovp
Before he could object further, Power counted down, "3, 2, 1, BEGIN!"
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOk72UNezV
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.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79IBbwYuSU
Himeno: "Aki, do you have any kind of plan to get us all out of here?"
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDyuOl7wCS
Aki: "If what the devil says is true, we can't kill it. But we aren't killing Denji, either."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEdgkFFl4Z
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBrZwGYcOQ
Himeno: "So, is the plan to die, then?"
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgcF5rcNtI
Aki, with a heavy heart, let out a deep sigh and replied, "If we truly run out of options, I'll use the sword."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTtV0QRvcf
But before Aki could finish his sentence, Himeno appeared beside him, her expression deadly serious.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ghujqzmkG
Himeno: "No, you won't."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9hNaCjgxc
Denji: "If that thing can get us out of here, shouldn't he use it?"
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROhySvENMG
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."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXi3vLz13B
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.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdxQNMeKan
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.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnfNqFhfd9
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!"
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3jmKS0rmB
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.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbN4aH03tO
Eternity Devil: "Give me Denji's heart!"
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27QKds19Cb
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.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVQGG9x9ed
Kobeni (Overwhelmed by fear) "Somebody, anybody, kill Denji! Please! Make him dead!"
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNYucOvDLB
Super, his voice filled with urgency, implored, "Kobeni, calm down! Fearing it will make it stronger! Please!"
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZen1NJiw2
Arai: "We're running out of time! Someone, please, just kill Denji!"
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXP3AwwhMz
Aki: "I'm using the sword... Are you okay with that, Himeno?"
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgzuwmpwJG
Himeno, using her ghost devil, promptly restrained Aki.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPOcIz4MrV
Denji: "Whoa, lady! What the hell?"
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkk72bn0UMz
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.”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPHdW03bnJ
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.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRSF7MlR4q
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."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcTNzqz5Es
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.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tpFmipBTU
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."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8p3QnBJwWC
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."
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQj8HQidLVq
Denji enthusiastically agreed: "Ohh! Yeah! That could work!"
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HfzoNOA9T
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.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QU4USkG8T
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.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhbuK0U2TO
Eternity Devil (In Pain): “Oh! Ow! Ow! Ow! Oh God! The pain! Give up! You’ll never get to my heart!”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRq43NZI4NB
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.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OmiQmfTCr
Days go by and the eternity devil finally gives up. He reveals his heart begins for them to kill him already.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoHsfhHPma
Eternity Devil (Extremely Weak): “This is my heart.. I give up.. Please.. Kill me..”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliktich8kt
Denji (Chainsaw Form): “What?! Already? I was having fun!”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmHZcklTZM
Super: “Yeah! It was like being in a kiddie pool!”
