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.

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."
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTS4eeDg6p6
Denji: "Got it."
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zfl1W5XpO
Power: "No problem, topknot."
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2g56tLLfa
Super: "Sure."
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYgJ1jv15p
Aki: "Arai, stay close beside me and Himeno," he directed.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugtsR2MhYz
Arai: "Yes, Sir!"
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmmQasTFVx
Aki: "And Kobeni, you'll stay in the back."
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQRGb3Zk8i
Kobeni: "Understood."
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡla3zuVMIy4
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.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5qkRDdfEl
Denji (Bored): "Ugh... There doesn't seem to be a devil around here. We could be stuck here for hours."
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ue1TQSdML
Aki (Focused): "Stay focused, Denji. The devil is here somewhere."
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0orOivBKc
The group pressed forward in their pursuit, determined to find their target. Suddenly, Himeno's instincts kicked in, prompting her to command a halt.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeNhWEv0jH
Himeno (Instinctive): "Stop,"
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCAP89OAre
Himeno: "Incoming."
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCO2cupI8QK
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.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZ14M8xH1M
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.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGUps3rd09
Power (Victorious): "Yeah! Did you all witness the great and almighty Power in action? That pathetic devil froze in mid-air in sheer terror!"
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Bn4E9CGba
Himeno (Corrective): "Actually, Power, I used the ghost devil to immobilize it. It didn't freeze out of fear or anything like that."
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjBc5EIVR7
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.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3JO15iDNk
Arai, his voice tinged with confusion and unease, said, "Isn't that...? Wait a moment."
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohtuffJUMI
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.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0t5hq64aCa
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.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeChnL04lD
Himeno: "Hold on, Kobeni! Make double peace signs and stay where you are!" she instructed.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXLJsM7zoT
Kobeni, puzzled but willing to cooperate, formed two peace signs with her hands and nodded in affirmation.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnipqKjZdi
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.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEgPaieCuk
Aki (Confused): "What in the—"
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACrnYMCZlv
But before he could finish, he came to a realization.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPKyg6vhPe
Aki: "Kobeni, stand over here for a second," Aki instructed, his voice laced with a hint of urgency.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLw5TzbXvsT
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.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gwwoeiL8i
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.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUj4tDYNzC
Aki: "Dammit,"
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXy6PsGsxGR
Denji quickly exited a room across from the room he had entered and relayed his discovery to the group.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfx1sgLvFBp
Denji: "Guys! These rooms lead to other rooms across the hall!"
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0VD1mWD10
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.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kVMXL7Ip7
Aki (Concerned): "Has anyone else noticed that all the clocks have been stuck at 8:18 for some time now?"
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokNdE0C60d
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.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHNnqIXeu3
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.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTp36yPsS8S
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."
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsvjHp9f8L
Himeno: taking a drag from her cigarette, inquired with a touch of concern, "Aki, is the flesh piece reacting?"
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNTOwNHiJ8
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."
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTOaHdmXlC
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."
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHBzzX6IT7
Arai, (harboring a glimmer of hope): "But if nobody hears from us for a while, surely they'll send someone to rescue us, right?"
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnQijwG8gg
Aki: "I doubt it. Even if they did, they'd likely end up in the same predicament as us."
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2QDKuyWPi
Denji (increasingly impatient): "Super, quit fooling around. Can't you just teleport us out of here?"
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Lh7uvtu3D
Super: "That's not how my ability works. I need to see the power in action to copy and use it."
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCt5izBNJW
Denji (disbelief): "So you're telling me that in all your time being alive, you've never thought to copy teleportation?!"
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIM7pabuuV
Super (defensively): "No, because I never needed it!"
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4vwvM5KFW
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.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuKwSkYASC
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.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRIvYMNT0e
Denji: still groggy, inquired, "Have we figured out a way off the 8th floor yet?"
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡim73pvi8bd
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..."
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI99xS3VXmk
Denji: growing increasingly worried, interrupted, "Has something happened to Power?"
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcpWDbU5jo
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.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzD3e0JoUK
Denji (Relieved): "She's okay. She's always like this."
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbibVFm3dOh
Himeno, her curiosity piqued, takes a seat on the window sill, lighting a cigarette and inhaling deeply before exhaling a plume of smoke.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSMau7MiWX
They spend the next few minutes in casual conversation, with Denji and Power exchanging ideas for activities while Himeno continues to enjoy her cigarette.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIjfd4AqVZ
The door swings open, and Aki steps into the room.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmkZtOw9OV
Aki: "Himeno, do you have any cigarettes left?"
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoVCTkQN0A
Himeno (exhaling a plume of smoke) "Sorry, this is my last one."
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWXDjlmTDl
Aki approaches Himeno, a request in his eyes
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpkGBgA2Kg
Aki: “Let me have it please..”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwu9uMeEaE
Himeno: "If you insist," Himeno concedes, taking the cigarette from her mouth and placing it into Aki's.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKQaYN4IQQ
Denji and Power share a snicker, recognizing the humorous context of this indirect exchange.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKoOPYl1mJ
Aki (Now smoking): "I've got bad news. That devil Power killed earlier has grown substantially larger."
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7CmZzdK4w
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekL9IEPb6O
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.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7iaZl0c3m
Kobeni (Her voice trembling with terror): "Denji... let it... let it eat you..."
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBLeMdQ1T6
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.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsJ8NgOp6n
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."
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BaJtOjFMZ
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.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwD3rvrF1P7
Super: "It's alright, Kobeni," he reassured her, "everything is going to be alright. Just stay calm, okay?"
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQonCuwxV7
Kobeni nodded in understanding, staying close to Super, finding comfort in his presence amid the chaos.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAH68JFmjWQ
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.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX14O4Nnf29
Himeno (Impatient): "God, that thing is obnoxious. Aki, can't you use the Fox Devil to swallow this thing?"
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzCiN3hfHH
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.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiJwRhVHmO
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."
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQBW9Go2F7
Himeno (Undeterred): "The Fox Devil's body is in Kyoto, so that makes sense. Let's see what my ghost can do then."
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeK4GhZv1mA
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
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWhbMLpUL0
Eternity Devil (In Pain): “That hurt! It hurts! Oh, it hurts! The pain!”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgohosacKOR
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.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIikT30QtR
Himeno: "Wh-It got bigger?"
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hZ4jyWShH
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."
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMNx2RmN9h
Denji (Skeptical): "Yeah right! You probably won't let them go, even if I do die—"
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuItz39nEOH
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."
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUo6ampCLvj
Arai, emerging from his room, presented a bold suggestion.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTL06MFDyCq
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!"
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXHXtpvuEk
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIKuPAKNuG
Aki (Firmly): "The devil wants Denji dead, which means his death could benefit it in some way. That's why we're not accepting."
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dYfYpYuuo
Himeno: "I'm with him."
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsklZZcFEy
Arai: "But..."
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriKlZ1ran1
Power: "I also agree with topknot! Denji shall not die if I have anything to say about it!"
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyWaJ541QX
Super (Continuing to provide comfort to Kobeni): "Yeah, we're not killing Denji. He stays, and that's that."
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHtzik9EOC
Aki: "Exactly. We're devil hunters. We only kill devils."
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLTjELmzp9
Power: "Yay! Shall we wrestle to pass the time?"
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZg7bTvJKoI
Denji: "What? No—"
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLtMcqHKBE
Before he could object further, Power counted down, "3, 2, 1, BEGIN!"
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QB392ZQU1
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.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBBI3AkWiD
Himeno: "Aki, do you have any kind of plan to get us all out of here?"
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMhGp6VMjQ
Aki: "If what the devil says is true, we can't kill it. But we aren't killing Denji, either."
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUigfPrL6g
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwPPlmlvzB
Himeno: "So, is the plan to die, then?"
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3UkIDcL2u
Aki, with a heavy heart, let out a deep sigh and replied, "If we truly run out of options, I'll use the sword."
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEuK3qzGwv
But before Aki could finish his sentence, Himeno appeared beside him, her expression deadly serious.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiq7K30PIyt
Himeno: "No, you won't."
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHnyMuafmz
Denji: "If that thing can get us out of here, shouldn't he use it?"
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9IuL9oWdW
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."
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3QNEUDKjd
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.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4WjU67jeU
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.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoORrLjAQjw
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!"
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkCSav5KVO
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.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsC2jTQJD8
Eternity Devil: "Give me Denji's heart!"
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqS0RkZ82u
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.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6G6biCKNUD
Kobeni (Overwhelmed by fear) "Somebody, anybody, kill Denji! Please! Make him dead!"
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdndF5f6AmZ
Super, his voice filled with urgency, implored, "Kobeni, calm down! Fearing it will make it stronger! Please!"
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7x4gE0LIXg
Arai: "We're running out of time! Someone, please, just kill Denji!"
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs65tRpCbMX
Aki: "I'm using the sword... Are you okay with that, Himeno?"
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFH6vxeBYoZ
Himeno, using her ghost devil, promptly restrained Aki.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcXkW8ExVz
Denji: "Whoa, lady! What the hell?"
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGbHLlzgj0
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.”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrIA4VE16w
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.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcR9WqhDAVh
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."
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyILOwCmVc
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.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH48IO7oiQ5
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."
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo83ccBBqKX
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."
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpaAqTbR57
Denji enthusiastically agreed: "Ohh! Yeah! That could work!"
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQSJynHmvW
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.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzwatFGQ8G
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.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitAtQpmQe1
Eternity Devil (In Pain): “Oh! Ow! Ow! Ow! Oh God! The pain! Give up! You’ll never get to my heart!”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgpPZY9dF3
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.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmKcdMkuX8
Days go by and the eternity devil finally gives up. He reveals his heart begins for them to kill him already.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOphNciQ3lK
Eternity Devil (Extremely Weak): “This is my heart.. I give up.. Please.. Kill me..”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyqNqy4rd1
Denji (Chainsaw Form): “What?! Already? I was having fun!”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmsJrJbweM
