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.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2csq4fUB3
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."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVwScUGYW0
Denji: "Got it."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHoHubwhQ7
Power: "No problem, topknot."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaftYqSTsnx
Super: "Sure."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzr1fv8YZop
Aki: "Arai, stay close beside me and Himeno," he directed.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRve8QGg3hp
Arai: "Yes, Sir!"
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPtT9fS241
Aki: "And Kobeni, you'll stay in the back."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0f8EJUMlU
Kobeni: "Understood."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXYmoDta3R
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.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjj3QFHjST
Denji (Bored): "Ugh... There doesn't seem to be a devil around here. We could be stuck here for hours."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YnohX7W15
Aki (Focused): "Stay focused, Denji. The devil is here somewhere."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9mTmVaygR
The group pressed forward in their pursuit, determined to find their target. Suddenly, Himeno's instincts kicked in, prompting her to command a halt.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcL4ltCSTxW
Himeno (Instinctive): "Stop,"
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToBek4R7hw
Himeno: "Incoming."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ssANKrSMo
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.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiB1HBqccsU
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.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RjV2FZyRG
Power (Victorious): "Yeah! Did you all witness the great and almighty Power in action? That pathetic devil froze in mid-air in sheer terror!"
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohJIbWOman
Himeno (Corrective): "Actually, Power, I used the ghost devil to immobilize it. It didn't freeze out of fear or anything like that."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSyBuRV8Zj
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.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlw4upamN9
Arai, his voice tinged with confusion and unease, said, "Isn't that...? Wait a moment."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcktIUZs16
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.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiWCA2Wgz1
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.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnl24SclzDW
Himeno: "Hold on, Kobeni! Make double peace signs and stay where you are!" she instructed.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjXW7KpX0C
Kobeni, puzzled but willing to cooperate, formed two peace signs with her hands and nodded in affirmation.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYQckP0K0d
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.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHazTLbzO4
Aki (Confused): "What in the—"
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoFQtJ0R37
But before he could finish, he came to a realization.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluzOSuwPAi
Aki: "Kobeni, stand over here for a second," Aki instructed, his voice laced with a hint of urgency.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyxG8O1F1e
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.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpxoPSte1K
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.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNGgKaFLSC
Aki: "Dammit,"
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqXQTw9mmz
Denji quickly exited a room across from the room he had entered and relayed his discovery to the group.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4B1oBjZad
Denji: "Guys! These rooms lead to other rooms across the hall!"
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6CwBlrKmB
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.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCqqoe2zeC
Aki (Concerned): "Has anyone else noticed that all the clocks have been stuck at 8:18 for some time now?"
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVwwmePzFN
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.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0J0ErmZuDe
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.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURlP5iNN4e
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."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlud8XA6ODN
Himeno: taking a drag from her cigarette, inquired with a touch of concern, "Aki, is the flesh piece reacting?"
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0O7jC1trO3
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."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQL8Nk9XW9
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."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9a2sjtb4B
Arai, (harboring a glimmer of hope): "But if nobody hears from us for a while, surely they'll send someone to rescue us, right?"
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDHps6o2Fj
Aki: "I doubt it. Even if they did, they'd likely end up in the same predicament as us."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEB098oJKs1
Denji (increasingly impatient): "Super, quit fooling around. Can't you just teleport us out of here?"
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyUjiaijY5
Super: "That's not how my ability works. I need to see the power in action to copy and use it."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrI9vilC2AB
Denji (disbelief): "So you're telling me that in all your time being alive, you've never thought to copy teleportation?!"
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SgSa3tTc9
Super (defensively): "No, because I never needed it!"
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eXBIJezS8
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.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIx9nOWHr48
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.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIM7kpsxD9a
Denji: still groggy, inquired, "Have we figured out a way off the 8th floor yet?"
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZmHZLpT1d
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..."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfvwb8PAQf
Denji: growing increasingly worried, interrupted, "Has something happened to Power?"
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WrLiwCXmN
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.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡib6B0mjfon
Denji (Relieved): "She's okay. She's always like this."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DqKcmLm8f
Himeno, her curiosity piqued, takes a seat on the window sill, lighting a cigarette and inhaling deeply before exhaling a plume of smoke.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs08YqyyKd3
They spend the next few minutes in casual conversation, with Denji and Power exchanging ideas for activities while Himeno continues to enjoy her cigarette.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84mej8kGAE
The door swings open, and Aki steps into the room.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhW47bVVGSN
Aki: "Himeno, do you have any cigarettes left?"
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYqtbN4cJK
Himeno (exhaling a plume of smoke) "Sorry, this is my last one."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDA90FPnDG
Aki approaches Himeno, a request in his eyes
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvbfOkv6GO
Aki: “Let me have it please..”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfqwEzKnnR
Himeno: "If you insist," Himeno concedes, taking the cigarette from her mouth and placing it into Aki's.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIskWYU9i5
Denji and Power share a snicker, recognizing the humorous context of this indirect exchange.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡip1aGHmsuC
Aki (Now smoking): "I've got bad news. That devil Power killed earlier has grown substantially larger."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOSBnVrnXD
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxxkGOzHOp
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.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9xUvrW6Gb
Kobeni (Her voice trembling with terror): "Denji... let it... let it eat you..."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qYdviQoQG
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.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaf1rAWqBMu
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."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurZVNr2X8y
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.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPlDJXvLs6
Super: "It's alright, Kobeni," he reassured her, "everything is going to be alright. Just stay calm, okay?"
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82LUzauu9I
Kobeni nodded in understanding, staying close to Super, finding comfort in his presence amid the chaos.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJl9enIsBG4
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.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4KNCdHuRd
Himeno (Impatient): "God, that thing is obnoxious. Aki, can't you use the Fox Devil to swallow this thing?"
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYAHgMA4HH
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.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsL39IfrXZ1
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."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIe3t18xqWL
Himeno (Undeterred): "The Fox Devil's body is in Kyoto, so that makes sense. Let's see what my ghost can do then."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypRZJRpFKR
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
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBReOFCwgM
Eternity Devil (In Pain): “That hurt! It hurts! Oh, it hurts! The pain!”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYpxgn4jxm
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.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXsEjoripI
Himeno: "Wh-It got bigger?"
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwA0nepXXG
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."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgccOtuDgG
Denji (Skeptical): "Yeah right! You probably won't let them go, even if I do die—"
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lqGiOmMa0
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."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm02uxxzISm
Arai, emerging from his room, presented a bold suggestion.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWlOr52vSr
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!"
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3mrRbxlkM
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMfaQusu05
Aki (Firmly): "The devil wants Denji dead, which means his death could benefit it in some way. That's why we're not accepting."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVZSIQxAQx
Himeno: "I'm with him."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlLn2I7NT9
Arai: "But..."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMc9U3sFBGP
Power: "I also agree with topknot! Denji shall not die if I have anything to say about it!"
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mWbjN2GV7
Super (Continuing to provide comfort to Kobeni): "Yeah, we're not killing Denji. He stays, and that's that."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQf9wHIuvQ
Aki: "Exactly. We're devil hunters. We only kill devils."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47dnPPFm8F
Power: "Yay! Shall we wrestle to pass the time?"
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSyzeYkBll
Denji: "What? No—"
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdCwO5XSyI
Before he could object further, Power counted down, "3, 2, 1, BEGIN!"
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNZxNLCVa1
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.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfhxo9nXg7
Himeno: "Aki, do you have any kind of plan to get us all out of here?"
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0wHoHUF9h
Aki: "If what the devil says is true, we can't kill it. But we aren't killing Denji, either."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrJGowFKPg
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCtBkkmWIL
Himeno: "So, is the plan to die, then?"
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWXrG0x4K8
Aki, with a heavy heart, let out a deep sigh and replied, "If we truly run out of options, I'll use the sword."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnZH5UHANG
But before Aki could finish his sentence, Himeno appeared beside him, her expression deadly serious.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69768yQM4L
Himeno: "No, you won't."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTH3titEKAs
Denji: "If that thing can get us out of here, shouldn't he use it?"
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NaWWwFGIQ
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."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMePfsLjwAW
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.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyUKQfYtvJ
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.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0dGKM4aaw
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!"
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2z2X0Z0vYi
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.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkSldADuMk
Eternity Devil: "Give me Denji's heart!"
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WLdEPnYBS
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.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkxtbyZ3Vq
Kobeni (Overwhelmed by fear) "Somebody, anybody, kill Denji! Please! Make him dead!"
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSm6rAsJq8B
Super, his voice filled with urgency, implored, "Kobeni, calm down! Fearing it will make it stronger! Please!"
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJ7n2yC7eu
Arai: "We're running out of time! Someone, please, just kill Denji!"
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtN77VQWuA5
Aki: "I'm using the sword... Are you okay with that, Himeno?"
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLwW3esXdc
Himeno, using her ghost devil, promptly restrained Aki.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhNiiPptdN
Denji: "Whoa, lady! What the hell?"
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PRlHpo5j9
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.”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfnkKILp1f
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.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtOsg0Wq5H
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."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXwNhqEr2Z
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.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHlSnMFf2o
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."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXH6kN9g0U8
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."
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuufLVAqAlr
Denji enthusiastically agreed: "Ohh! Yeah! That could work!"
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiI0fs06i8y
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.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31LM4frWEJ
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.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddM8a0c0va
Eternity Devil (In Pain): “Oh! Ow! Ow! Ow! Oh God! The pain! Give up! You’ll never get to my heart!”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnTQi9oIJm
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.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1xD0MPqVz
Days go by and the eternity devil finally gives up. He reveals his heart begins for them to kill him already.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwcmlhA8qH
Eternity Devil (Extremely Weak): “This is my heart.. I give up.. Please.. Kill me..”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIU9IGA0MG
Denji (Chainsaw Form): “What?! Already? I was having fun!”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBN1mxfwHy
