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."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7KchmSI6A
Denji: "Got it."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUNEJR69sO
Power: "No problem, topknot."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXihYe4ZEW
Super: "Sure."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlNvPGHdrO
Aki: "Arai, stay close beside me and Himeno," he directed.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuCvj7fmJK
Arai: "Yes, Sir!"
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡye3UEyYEEk
Aki: "And Kobeni, you'll stay in the back."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTH7imCRL3G
Kobeni: "Understood."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qmvKrLHsL
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.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgudlqaxq68
Denji (Bored): "Ugh... There doesn't seem to be a devil around here. We could be stuck here for hours."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQH6rF54nK
Aki (Focused): "Stay focused, Denji. The devil is here somewhere."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAY01Izvzg
The group pressed forward in their pursuit, determined to find their target. Suddenly, Himeno's instincts kicked in, prompting her to command a halt.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppGZYsI6l5
Himeno (Instinctive): "Stop,"
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GUJL2C9Q5
Himeno: "Incoming."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZtApu5sKi
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.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKKE4mIl2Y
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.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqZbHiv3bA
Power (Victorious): "Yeah! Did you all witness the great and almighty Power in action? That pathetic devil froze in mid-air in sheer terror!"
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0V56BL3ZpE
Himeno (Corrective): "Actually, Power, I used the ghost devil to immobilize it. It didn't freeze out of fear or anything like that."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNRhZZE5bd
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.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kOY80BV1u
Arai, his voice tinged with confusion and unease, said, "Isn't that...? Wait a moment."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHDAQ7qbkD
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.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2rarnuzF8
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.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAH74XawHkX
Himeno: "Hold on, Kobeni! Make double peace signs and stay where you are!" she instructed.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uWrQAlzvX
Kobeni, puzzled but willing to cooperate, formed two peace signs with her hands and nodded in affirmation.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bCvMuH15X
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.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFP9w48B6SG
Aki (Confused): "What in the—"
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwzpDThzOn
But before he could finish, he came to a realization.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIScL1OTG1
Aki: "Kobeni, stand over here for a second," Aki instructed, his voice laced with a hint of urgency.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtQCK8vfja
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.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Kw0iKaYfD
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.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpZ7PttK3o
Aki: "Dammit,"
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67btTxULqO
Denji quickly exited a room across from the room he had entered and relayed his discovery to the group.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VLx40stXS
Denji: "Guys! These rooms lead to other rooms across the hall!"
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pqMuUYY9t
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.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToDS1zMRqb
Aki (Concerned): "Has anyone else noticed that all the clocks have been stuck at 8:18 for some time now?"
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKhySHkTUI
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.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlvRfC79T2
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.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hQ5bX6gQI
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."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3MlEuuvjQ
Himeno: taking a drag from her cigarette, inquired with a touch of concern, "Aki, is the flesh piece reacting?"
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJY5BD1K5Zc
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."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrM2KybtE87
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."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGbhfq6BZ3
Arai, (harboring a glimmer of hope): "But if nobody hears from us for a while, surely they'll send someone to rescue us, right?"
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhoWugXzK3
Aki: "I doubt it. Even if they did, they'd likely end up in the same predicament as us."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDE8soStAj
Denji (increasingly impatient): "Super, quit fooling around. Can't you just teleport us out of here?"
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSAYRlGhsq
Super: "That's not how my ability works. I need to see the power in action to copy and use it."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZaSASpBwT
Denji (disbelief): "So you're telling me that in all your time being alive, you've never thought to copy teleportation?!"
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhmKKQPWrs
Super (defensively): "No, because I never needed it!"
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAG0PCcEaK
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.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtefMh1V6Tl
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.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlg51ahqrB
Denji: still groggy, inquired, "Have we figured out a way off the 8th floor yet?"
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBZfFMP7RK
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..."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ctdvjt56i
Denji: growing increasingly worried, interrupted, "Has something happened to Power?"
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvNcbvhlOk
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.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqtRHv9htn
Denji (Relieved): "She's okay. She's always like this."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7hNQUcEm6
Himeno, her curiosity piqued, takes a seat on the window sill, lighting a cigarette and inhaling deeply before exhaling a plume of smoke.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0drqrnY7Kh
They spend the next few minutes in casual conversation, with Denji and Power exchanging ideas for activities while Himeno continues to enjoy her cigarette.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2GnaJb1sQ
The door swings open, and Aki steps into the room.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bWOZ9WxCB
Aki: "Himeno, do you have any cigarettes left?"
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMB3OWMkIZs
Himeno (exhaling a plume of smoke) "Sorry, this is my last one."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JNYkGqQH2
Aki approaches Himeno, a request in his eyes
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoX4k7fVwHE
Aki: “Let me have it please..”
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoGSSFiDVt
Himeno: "If you insist," Himeno concedes, taking the cigarette from her mouth and placing it into Aki's.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbmhT0erp6
Denji and Power share a snicker, recognizing the humorous context of this indirect exchange.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GZy7mJzXu
Aki (Now smoking): "I've got bad news. That devil Power killed earlier has grown substantially larger."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy13IiIqXuA
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7zP7bpjgw
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.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIGJgCESzb
Kobeni (Her voice trembling with terror): "Denji... let it... let it eat you..."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYZq7TUmpJ
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.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbM6mumllGk
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."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfMO9yFDlq
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.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1hpwWF5Vp
Super: "It's alright, Kobeni," he reassured her, "everything is going to be alright. Just stay calm, okay?"
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSReK3k3CA
Kobeni nodded in understanding, staying close to Super, finding comfort in his presence amid the chaos.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46NZwySduK
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.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ677LiaH1m2
Himeno (Impatient): "God, that thing is obnoxious. Aki, can't you use the Fox Devil to swallow this thing?"
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifkwtvE5zK
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.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzKjVv7Vu0
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."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtIzqaCJ1V
Himeno (Undeterred): "The Fox Devil's body is in Kyoto, so that makes sense. Let's see what my ghost can do then."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgr9XDLNKl
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
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGFFgeIPfl
Eternity Devil (In Pain): “That hurt! It hurts! Oh, it hurts! The pain!”
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7dS2PlVIb
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.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmscFUEGcKd
Himeno: "Wh-It got bigger?"
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkmq7Qoi0g
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."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBAwX5XJMC
Denji (Skeptical): "Yeah right! You probably won't let them go, even if I do die—"
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEE68kgI8u
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."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW36PzQZgwU
Arai, emerging from his room, presented a bold suggestion.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVjayjYpPf
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!"
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NJ3zV4NyX
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXZBPaeOZ6
Aki (Firmly): "The devil wants Denji dead, which means his death could benefit it in some way. That's why we're not accepting."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlGUrvW5zZ
Himeno: "I'm with him."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUX8iKEMzO
Arai: "But..."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqIyWPhttI
Power: "I also agree with topknot! Denji shall not die if I have anything to say about it!"
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8168R2RZg
Super (Continuing to provide comfort to Kobeni): "Yeah, we're not killing Denji. He stays, and that's that."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUrgRXEB7m
Aki: "Exactly. We're devil hunters. We only kill devils."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJBltPJs9G
Power: "Yay! Shall we wrestle to pass the time?"
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNmMtXcdNo
Denji: "What? No—"
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoZm6qrvPa
Before he could object further, Power counted down, "3, 2, 1, BEGIN!"
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTv8a4SOAoS
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.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLRYZ8u9ff
Himeno: "Aki, do you have any kind of plan to get us all out of here?"
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCifSBYsre0
Aki: "If what the devil says is true, we can't kill it. But we aren't killing Denji, either."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiYsZWK0wf
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhgwtUvnR5
Himeno: "So, is the plan to die, then?"
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdjUalrlR3
Aki, with a heavy heart, let out a deep sigh and replied, "If we truly run out of options, I'll use the sword."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdyzLyM7Gn
But before Aki could finish his sentence, Himeno appeared beside him, her expression deadly serious.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1baOXGBUl
Himeno: "No, you won't."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOS3FuYfv7
Denji: "If that thing can get us out of here, shouldn't he use it?"
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQSnb1vs3y
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."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1H6XAw7UKl
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.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9M1LjAkCyX
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.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjz8n6nLmT
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!"
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlakAE9kf2i
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.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimBvjvpkGm
Eternity Devil: "Give me Denji's heart!"
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXBBvtH8TO
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.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcx6oXMapvh
Kobeni (Overwhelmed by fear) "Somebody, anybody, kill Denji! Please! Make him dead!"
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DLKisq4TN
Super, his voice filled with urgency, implored, "Kobeni, calm down! Fearing it will make it stronger! Please!"
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MqcCsPC9k
Arai: "We're running out of time! Someone, please, just kill Denji!"
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqi8pZv3Scc
Aki: "I'm using the sword... Are you okay with that, Himeno?"
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafWTWbPk0M
Himeno, using her ghost devil, promptly restrained Aki.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCKl5DwREA
Denji: "Whoa, lady! What the hell?"
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhD8mQsa2p
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.”
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9zorUDIzM
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.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiWzfoBDLv
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."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9XaUMNZPs
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.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdk93yWT0Ok
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."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxhDakgJVl
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."
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGabRDxia9y
Denji enthusiastically agreed: "Ohh! Yeah! That could work!"
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qgocIeQY9
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.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCKKpuSMO0
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.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNHCieQQLT
Eternity Devil (In Pain): “Oh! Ow! Ow! Ow! Oh God! The pain! Give up! You’ll never get to my heart!”
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwogjjM4DwV
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.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNP8fJMpgOt
Days go by and the eternity devil finally gives up. He reveals his heart begins for them to kill him already.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi42LmiE0he
Eternity Devil (Extremely Weak): “This is my heart.. I give up.. Please.. Kill me..”
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtq9tQ0bp4j
Denji (Chainsaw Form): “What?! Already? I was having fun!”
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWXR0u0sj9
