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."
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4ascu74Vv
Denji: "Got it."
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8KBgPXxbo
Power: "No problem, topknot."
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKPXUwLdK7
Super: "Sure."
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPwxw8BE36
Aki: "Arai, stay close beside me and Himeno," he directed.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWPYYuG61H
Arai: "Yes, Sir!"
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEfApe66bd
Aki: "And Kobeni, you'll stay in the back."
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr83ctOMlr7
Kobeni: "Understood."
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVcdU3oXxL
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.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4fJR8oUbW
Denji (Bored): "Ugh... There doesn't seem to be a devil around here. We could be stuck here for hours."
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bFmuptarr
Aki (Focused): "Stay focused, Denji. The devil is here somewhere."
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxV9K0XyON
The group pressed forward in their pursuit, determined to find their target. Suddenly, Himeno's instincts kicked in, prompting her to command a halt.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAW6dovL9p
Himeno (Instinctive): "Stop,"
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XfLe4Wfmo
Himeno: "Incoming."
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomKkitNmUk
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.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKtfleCQmf
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.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnX1GdoiYsT
Power (Victorious): "Yeah! Did you all witness the great and almighty Power in action? That pathetic devil froze in mid-air in sheer terror!"
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicLVAJjGEY
Himeno (Corrective): "Actually, Power, I used the ghost devil to immobilize it. It didn't freeze out of fear or anything like that."
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmz4CifhC8i
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.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSv1zFYTQb
Arai, his voice tinged with confusion and unease, said, "Isn't that...? Wait a moment."
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOTai6zO7l
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.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDxVvlf1dV
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.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijlS3dQTPh
Himeno: "Hold on, Kobeni! Make double peace signs and stay where you are!" she instructed.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJsHTGDMcW
Kobeni, puzzled but willing to cooperate, formed two peace signs with her hands and nodded in affirmation.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN41G1njpvi
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.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCMLi1d01E
Aki (Confused): "What in the—"
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkv7SeyFSii
But before he could finish, he came to a realization.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1GzUV1tE3
Aki: "Kobeni, stand over here for a second," Aki instructed, his voice laced with a hint of urgency.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3ye4dFCdY
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.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfPG8KRCKH
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.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNzN2Tf4Zg
Aki: "Dammit,"
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniPFCU4pOe
Denji quickly exited a room across from the room he had entered and relayed his discovery to the group.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWb96oTDTd
Denji: "Guys! These rooms lead to other rooms across the hall!"
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQP0ZBhEPwD
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.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1WBUtJQLg
Aki (Concerned): "Has anyone else noticed that all the clocks have been stuck at 8:18 for some time now?"
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1g1GZyF7iA
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.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJiyiNyMhm
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.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzofvmsUpT
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."
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlNorVrAiK
Himeno: taking a drag from her cigarette, inquired with a touch of concern, "Aki, is the flesh piece reacting?"
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvbT24l2ig
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."
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4X537j4bxV
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."
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgScN0MZwAw
Arai, (harboring a glimmer of hope): "But if nobody hears from us for a while, surely they'll send someone to rescue us, right?"
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBhN9XftCX
Aki: "I doubt it. Even if they did, they'd likely end up in the same predicament as us."
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6WM89wMpC
Denji (increasingly impatient): "Super, quit fooling around. Can't you just teleport us out of here?"
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfTvkIxu7v
Super: "That's not how my ability works. I need to see the power in action to copy and use it."
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsVm814qxY
Denji (disbelief): "So you're telling me that in all your time being alive, you've never thought to copy teleportation?!"
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkKptTvggu
Super (defensively): "No, because I never needed it!"
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVf3jlZ4Qba
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.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoZXy5UbYV
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.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4QoSvn6Hh
Denji: still groggy, inquired, "Have we figured out a way off the 8th floor yet?"
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJghGmlRmd
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..."
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoaSywV81b
Denji: growing increasingly worried, interrupted, "Has something happened to Power?"
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGdcg6QKl1
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.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaK3GK9srE0
Denji (Relieved): "She's okay. She's always like this."
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOODQACc8n
Himeno, her curiosity piqued, takes a seat on the window sill, lighting a cigarette and inhaling deeply before exhaling a plume of smoke.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7ngeX9XuL
They spend the next few minutes in casual conversation, with Denji and Power exchanging ideas for activities while Himeno continues to enjoy her cigarette.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIi3QtWPH8
The door swings open, and Aki steps into the room.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiTVZ4U6eA
Aki: "Himeno, do you have any cigarettes left?"
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuuX9c4kuD
Himeno (exhaling a plume of smoke) "Sorry, this is my last one."
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VuTQu7UJI
Aki approaches Himeno, a request in his eyes
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpvfjHlzqs
Aki: “Let me have it please..”
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRD9Kg5EnSw
Himeno: "If you insist," Himeno concedes, taking the cigarette from her mouth and placing it into Aki's.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0NyN09UDF
Denji and Power share a snicker, recognizing the humorous context of this indirect exchange.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszLkq42PY4
Aki (Now smoking): "I've got bad news. That devil Power killed earlier has grown substantially larger."
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9bYfWP7ME
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPr0u8u8iJ
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.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyuGTDB6rT
Kobeni (Her voice trembling with terror): "Denji... let it... let it eat you..."
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGpXQdpttH
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.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZS28kUVBn
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."
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGwICHFzXH
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.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1wxOKpw9T
Super: "It's alright, Kobeni," he reassured her, "everything is going to be alright. Just stay calm, okay?"
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTHlwLVFPc
Kobeni nodded in understanding, staying close to Super, finding comfort in his presence amid the chaos.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYU7W7G2nR
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.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ003jdQq77B
Himeno (Impatient): "God, that thing is obnoxious. Aki, can't you use the Fox Devil to swallow this thing?"
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0MLE0Rnoq
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.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8A2QXiKv9
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."
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8LnCO89HL
Himeno (Undeterred): "The Fox Devil's body is in Kyoto, so that makes sense. Let's see what my ghost can do then."
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCo2RKbhe5W
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
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNRRy5YrTi
Eternity Devil (In Pain): “That hurt! It hurts! Oh, it hurts! The pain!”
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaK1fV8tVo7
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.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpsA7Zz2ZW
Himeno: "Wh-It got bigger?"
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoN9ktWfqjm
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."
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DfuX4nNRE
Denji (Skeptical): "Yeah right! You probably won't let them go, even if I do die—"
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUFJRxyAgt
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."
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGY2lUBI7wN
Arai, emerging from his room, presented a bold suggestion.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd82bXR4mNg
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!"
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQukUD9c847
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3d6bxFr28j
Aki (Firmly): "The devil wants Denji dead, which means his death could benefit it in some way. That's why we're not accepting."
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLP9lo56f5H
Himeno: "I'm with him."
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUzLWzgI1t
Arai: "But..."
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCD2fJC7nd
Power: "I also agree with topknot! Denji shall not die if I have anything to say about it!"
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1ERQLRktj
Super (Continuing to provide comfort to Kobeni): "Yeah, we're not killing Denji. He stays, and that's that."
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgJXgdofp7
Aki: "Exactly. We're devil hunters. We only kill devils."
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwrTj1LmPw
Power: "Yay! Shall we wrestle to pass the time?"
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjaOYwLQsv
Denji: "What? No—"
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8GrjwdKcz
Before he could object further, Power counted down, "3, 2, 1, BEGIN!"
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9ZLM1rmiC
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.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5L6s07cjLi
Himeno: "Aki, do you have any kind of plan to get us all out of here?"
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMCcR3Kxcc
Aki: "If what the devil says is true, we can't kill it. But we aren't killing Denji, either."
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvgZ5gQwqr
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaV28TupdYf
Himeno: "So, is the plan to die, then?"
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeMBOwmedC
Aki, with a heavy heart, let out a deep sigh and replied, "If we truly run out of options, I'll use the sword."
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCO06SpmJtX
But before Aki could finish his sentence, Himeno appeared beside him, her expression deadly serious.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNGB4vYVHG
Himeno: "No, you won't."
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9L3m1OBmB
Denji: "If that thing can get us out of here, shouldn't he use it?"
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkd6fQdIkNA
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."
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SchKRQ5qI
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.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8s7WJ569L
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.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UgzPGjNYQ
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!"
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoO4BhY0oo4
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.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDEDY7VFPd
Eternity Devil: "Give me Denji's heart!"
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwid0N3kEoY
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.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbctLvfGS5h
Kobeni (Overwhelmed by fear) "Somebody, anybody, kill Denji! Please! Make him dead!"
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdYpv3y505
Super, his voice filled with urgency, implored, "Kobeni, calm down! Fearing it will make it stronger! Please!"
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9UUJJyifC
Arai: "We're running out of time! Someone, please, just kill Denji!"
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaWIDKawyr
Aki: "I'm using the sword... Are you okay with that, Himeno?"
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdecWemK59W
Himeno, using her ghost devil, promptly restrained Aki.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxajUVDhcCb
Denji: "Whoa, lady! What the hell?"
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsC38irY5e
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.”
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm92AzaaaVH
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.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9qpQRfUYC
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."
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezl84t8y74
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.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGyal5Bodv
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."
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyq2aHpvCfp
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."
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UkkHMirG2
Denji enthusiastically agreed: "Ohh! Yeah! That could work!"
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmVFWTfyTC
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.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQd1lroUVW
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.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCEfWJIFTR
Eternity Devil (In Pain): “Oh! Ow! Ow! Ow! Oh God! The pain! Give up! You’ll never get to my heart!”
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpeoa5zCIY
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.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAD0i8LFZD
Days go by and the eternity devil finally gives up. He reveals his heart begins for them to kill him already.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7VZ8GhQCD
Eternity Devil (Extremely Weak): “This is my heart.. I give up.. Please.. Kill me..”
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlrBy7sJxe
Denji (Chainsaw Form): “What?! Already? I was having fun!”
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4VnRD3ayJ
