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."
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRUNsW081B
Denji: "Got it."
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrB0TFnYDiv
Power: "No problem, topknot."
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYm5nyXcqn
Super: "Sure."
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRjU8ZigZw
Aki: "Arai, stay close beside me and Himeno," he directed.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjnhVdnmf9
Arai: "Yes, Sir!"
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvHwlVR3NO
Aki: "And Kobeni, you'll stay in the back."
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yBXS4LYYF
Kobeni: "Understood."
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkDJq20Osk
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfJx5TZvHa
Denji (Bored): "Ugh... There doesn't seem to be a devil around here. We could be stuck here for hours."
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9qu3qfEJn
Aki (Focused): "Stay focused, Denji. The devil is here somewhere."
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bC5wK97RP
The group pressed forward in their pursuit, determined to find their target. Suddenly, Himeno's instincts kicked in, prompting her to command a halt.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdSJ1A0mIR
Himeno (Instinctive): "Stop,"
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnEfqU4K7G
Himeno: "Incoming."
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknZgmtSe0H
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlTi8h9c89
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcSkdVtk61
Power (Victorious): "Yeah! Did you all witness the great and almighty Power in action? That pathetic devil froze in mid-air in sheer terror!"
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPq2drOqJDT
Himeno (Corrective): "Actually, Power, I used the ghost devil to immobilize it. It didn't freeze out of fear or anything like that."
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgelm3SZOx
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHl0eiK950
Arai, his voice tinged with confusion and unease, said, "Isn't that...? Wait a moment."
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntAcyrqZ86
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnf14FaD25
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zykK55cUL
Himeno: "Hold on, Kobeni! Make double peace signs and stay where you are!" she instructed.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtetApkNl9L
Kobeni, puzzled but willing to cooperate, formed two peace signs with her hands and nodded in affirmation.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPg5CpPzxx
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MIUfQnMu5
Aki (Confused): "What in the—"
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqgMKSedX7
But before he could finish, he came to a realization.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7zH0xs9EU
Aki: "Kobeni, stand over here for a second," Aki instructed, his voice laced with a hint of urgency.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUMznGU7dr
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyticYftJa
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXUk9bjpT4
Aki: "Dammit,"
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSwME63kGS
Denji quickly exited a room across from the room he had entered and relayed his discovery to the group.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9o9d06hyB
Denji: "Guys! These rooms lead to other rooms across the hall!"
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTQp4XiX5U
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiK0U8S0Dt
Aki (Concerned): "Has anyone else noticed that all the clocks have been stuck at 8:18 for some time now?"
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuLm9PeXm2
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8K5qjCEarT
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajvGW2GBXp
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."
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DmeMYwAWA
Himeno: taking a drag from her cigarette, inquired with a touch of concern, "Aki, is the flesh piece reacting?"
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyelUhHyhOA
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."
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSl84V73wp
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."
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgPoZjq6Vr
Arai, (harboring a glimmer of hope): "But if nobody hears from us for a while, surely they'll send someone to rescue us, right?"
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFLnmPkr85
Aki: "I doubt it. Even if they did, they'd likely end up in the same predicament as us."
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlzpcw5RJR
Denji (increasingly impatient): "Super, quit fooling around. Can't you just teleport us out of here?"
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXcwMmIJmY
Super: "That's not how my ability works. I need to see the power in action to copy and use it."
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67B0wgxC8D
Denji (disbelief): "So you're telling me that in all your time being alive, you've never thought to copy teleportation?!"
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6bqpE9w62
Super (defensively): "No, because I never needed it!"
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOslCLkT8m4
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgxuPrMN35
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZWBhkyoXU
Denji: still groggy, inquired, "Have we figured out a way off the 8th floor yet?"
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYnPC0yhc8
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..."
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzJYrBIUdq
Denji: growing increasingly worried, interrupted, "Has something happened to Power?"
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9uUvbHuBq
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTimw2TlFJJ
Denji (Relieved): "She's okay. She's always like this."
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm248x4cONh
Himeno, her curiosity piqued, takes a seat on the window sill, lighting a cigarette and inhaling deeply before exhaling a plume of smoke.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tMjo8TE0G
They spend the next few minutes in casual conversation, with Denji and Power exchanging ideas for activities while Himeno continues to enjoy her cigarette.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuT9OrUmVCi
The door swings open, and Aki steps into the room.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJshNM71f8U
Aki: "Himeno, do you have any cigarettes left?"
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypNoIgwX1V
Himeno (exhaling a plume of smoke) "Sorry, this is my last one."
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFXS3PvqpE
Aki approaches Himeno, a request in his eyes
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2HEOCGKoI
Aki: “Let me have it please..”
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTdsr0rN8R
Himeno: "If you insist," Himeno concedes, taking the cigarette from her mouth and placing it into Aki's.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKgtMpR0HS
Denji and Power share a snicker, recognizing the humorous context of this indirect exchange.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBCw7ylKEK
Aki (Now smoking): "I've got bad news. That devil Power killed earlier has grown substantially larger."
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDzcAzMscR
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzqBQWOQJr
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QU7ncE4F0
Kobeni (Her voice trembling with terror): "Denji... let it... let it eat you..."
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyq99siAhP
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzGPX2i1vy
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."
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gfwWK8TAI
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡah6tbbXHzB
Super: "It's alright, Kobeni," he reassured her, "everything is going to be alright. Just stay calm, okay?"
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLs0cgAvhM
Kobeni nodded in understanding, staying close to Super, finding comfort in his presence amid the chaos.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcBgBFMSvU
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDTWGXirCt
Himeno (Impatient): "God, that thing is obnoxious. Aki, can't you use the Fox Devil to swallow this thing?"
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyqmIIf4Ae
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImSd2LL6tS
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."
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QQiAuZRvp
Himeno (Undeterred): "The Fox Devil's body is in Kyoto, so that makes sense. Let's see what my ghost can do then."
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1WpHTpDvv
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
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn46VL3B8lL
Eternity Devil (In Pain): “That hurt! It hurts! Oh, it hurts! The pain!”
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJSRf8631V
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGl0m3dX8Di
Himeno: "Wh-It got bigger?"
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCBjKi9lh8
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."
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukOaR6QBmX
Denji (Skeptical): "Yeah right! You probably won't let them go, even if I do die—"
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tBu8MRROy
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."
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFFkOAYt1G
Arai, emerging from his room, presented a bold suggestion.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdt2zV9pxf
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!"
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73iOycPPCd
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1q5KAaZutL
Aki (Firmly): "The devil wants Denji dead, which means his death could benefit it in some way. That's why we're not accepting."
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUh0q11oqlj
Himeno: "I'm with him."
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgGVmPRpHV
Arai: "But..."
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimdUVYHCjb
Power: "I also agree with topknot! Denji shall not die if I have anything to say about it!"
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBuTvfwCjj
Super (Continuing to provide comfort to Kobeni): "Yeah, we're not killing Denji. He stays, and that's that."
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsQNRc2Szv
Aki: "Exactly. We're devil hunters. We only kill devils."
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKF5ZLGNBFK
Power: "Yay! Shall we wrestle to pass the time?"
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09mu5lC21z
Denji: "What? No—"
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96n1HlJfDI
Before he could object further, Power counted down, "3, 2, 1, BEGIN!"
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUvskUVgdN
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxiukzonXX
Himeno: "Aki, do you have any kind of plan to get us all out of here?"
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWNQ67RVTX
Aki: "If what the devil says is true, we can't kill it. But we aren't killing Denji, either."
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKkMt5AVgd
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLSFO6dsS0
Himeno: "So, is the plan to die, then?"
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNEpk25YSo
Aki, with a heavy heart, let out a deep sigh and replied, "If we truly run out of options, I'll use the sword."
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsU0HTCoeY
But before Aki could finish his sentence, Himeno appeared beside him, her expression deadly serious.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprOtvpZZ5d
Himeno: "No, you won't."
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgt2ohh8sX4
Denji: "If that thing can get us out of here, shouldn't he use it?"
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuGMhgkkb9
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."
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJpLoT6DKy
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZzxqsywZG
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOZ02bgbCw
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!"
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaGnrrmRl5
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ja3zfnhLK
Eternity Devil: "Give me Denji's heart!"
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOzpXMBJz5
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt93L2G5Gyk
Kobeni (Overwhelmed by fear) "Somebody, anybody, kill Denji! Please! Make him dead!"
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FPS0lpuJq
Super, his voice filled with urgency, implored, "Kobeni, calm down! Fearing it will make it stronger! Please!"
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0kHJYIGoe
Arai: "We're running out of time! Someone, please, just kill Denji!"
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKUJVzMnVp
Aki: "I'm using the sword... Are you okay with that, Himeno?"
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRf4gKvKq7t
Himeno, using her ghost devil, promptly restrained Aki.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjs97ivW9jG
Denji: "Whoa, lady! What the hell?"
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlanIKt0CwB
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.”
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMqW9FjGpT
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBB8PW4XFE
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."
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBId0nKyMPo
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSTelQU78p
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."
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOhtla39t3
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."
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWt6Ehy4vl
Denji enthusiastically agreed: "Ohh! Yeah! That could work!"
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu34ydJavf5
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUpAgWL630
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rn6FULfRf
Eternity Devil (In Pain): “Oh! Ow! Ow! Ow! Oh God! The pain! Give up! You’ll never get to my heart!”
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlHloaoPb3
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.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3QemtlBBU
Days go by and the eternity devil finally gives up. He reveals his heart begins for them to kill him already.
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFzZOm3oBT
Eternity Devil (Extremely Weak): “This is my heart.. I give up.. Please.. Kill me..”
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eJXAoSq7L
Denji (Chainsaw Form): “What?! Already? I was having fun!”
139Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3ZIrHkoot
