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."
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDcF4xKNO6
Denji: "Got it."
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13IyYAQ7j4
Power: "No problem, topknot."
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUa3xp08S3
Super: "Sure."
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTyVaHX6DM
Aki: "Arai, stay close beside me and Himeno," he directed.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BuJNFOwLW
Arai: "Yes, Sir!"
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2QFoxuNGj
Aki: "And Kobeni, you'll stay in the back."
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbNPKg2DrL
Kobeni: "Understood."
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATOzS0corT
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkUp5ANuAh
Denji (Bored): "Ugh... There doesn't seem to be a devil around here. We could be stuck here for hours."
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfY3wqUBi8
Aki (Focused): "Stay focused, Denji. The devil is here somewhere."
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiR83o1ocgV
The group pressed forward in their pursuit, determined to find their target. Suddenly, Himeno's instincts kicked in, prompting her to command a halt.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4uwVin1fX
Himeno (Instinctive): "Stop,"
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡet7qEblryV
Himeno: "Incoming."
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnG4O55gklC
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡschQF6S3mW
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTt6z9eIcdJ
Power (Victorious): "Yeah! Did you all witness the great and almighty Power in action? That pathetic devil froze in mid-air in sheer terror!"
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYjPia09nh
Himeno (Corrective): "Actually, Power, I used the ghost devil to immobilize it. It didn't freeze out of fear or anything like that."
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAO3OlW0Uqv
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1o82Z1blFD
Arai, his voice tinged with confusion and unease, said, "Isn't that...? Wait a moment."
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OAtOoL9UH
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJToBiyRY40
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGU3O6pIDiy
Himeno: "Hold on, Kobeni! Make double peace signs and stay where you are!" she instructed.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHD6O8xUcO
Kobeni, puzzled but willing to cooperate, formed two peace signs with her hands and nodded in affirmation.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngCateAkuz
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yoYEQMsUH
Aki (Confused): "What in the—"
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuFHJeNlO1
But before he could finish, he came to a realization.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEV8FxrV1OI
Aki: "Kobeni, stand over here for a second," Aki instructed, his voice laced with a hint of urgency.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmx4xCNNV4
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzts6sKvfj
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCaDpSncbR
Aki: "Dammit,"
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDozxJ7ECa
Denji quickly exited a room across from the room he had entered and relayed his discovery to the group.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfa8ZFouyf6
Denji: "Guys! These rooms lead to other rooms across the hall!"
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmviAIDR8Tg
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OmCukUiDC
Aki (Concerned): "Has anyone else noticed that all the clocks have been stuck at 8:18 for some time now?"
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtntYOS4R0
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uBmj9Q51q
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInjreJ9BvH
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."
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbW9CaH2ite
Himeno: taking a drag from her cigarette, inquired with a touch of concern, "Aki, is the flesh piece reacting?"
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4WlbMouBm
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."
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVzlG63Fpf
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."
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaD8dIDJNJn
Arai, (harboring a glimmer of hope): "But if nobody hears from us for a while, surely they'll send someone to rescue us, right?"
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9esCLAaYGp
Aki: "I doubt it. Even if they did, they'd likely end up in the same predicament as us."
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMccSCQc4wP
Denji (increasingly impatient): "Super, quit fooling around. Can't you just teleport us out of here?"
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgm7Wpg4DD
Super: "That's not how my ability works. I need to see the power in action to copy and use it."
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0UbFH6hwW
Denji (disbelief): "So you're telling me that in all your time being alive, you've never thought to copy teleportation?!"
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEWTpvEBCz
Super (defensively): "No, because I never needed it!"
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkjpIDFgFo
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnXXwmEtYC
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNK58V8IRTV
Denji: still groggy, inquired, "Have we figured out a way off the 8th floor yet?"
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58kux9KYWp
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..."
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXHg49SIH9
Denji: growing increasingly worried, interrupted, "Has something happened to Power?"
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7csRIFlF99
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0VcfpZPJC
Denji (Relieved): "She's okay. She's always like this."
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8l9EPfxsmR
Himeno, her curiosity piqued, takes a seat on the window sill, lighting a cigarette and inhaling deeply before exhaling a plume of smoke.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7c0pMn1Tt3
They spend the next few minutes in casual conversation, with Denji and Power exchanging ideas for activities while Himeno continues to enjoy her cigarette.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9GfVeO5MI
The door swings open, and Aki steps into the room.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPE90I5Dj9
Aki: "Himeno, do you have any cigarettes left?"
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEyKeSDhZo
Himeno (exhaling a plume of smoke) "Sorry, this is my last one."
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9Bo7ae3J7
Aki approaches Himeno, a request in his eyes
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoe0ExD2nfG
Aki: “Let me have it please..”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAfdXitpAc
Himeno: "If you insist," Himeno concedes, taking the cigarette from her mouth and placing it into Aki's.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOvWkeXC4p
Denji and Power share a snicker, recognizing the humorous context of this indirect exchange.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvi7G0F1yZ
Aki (Now smoking): "I've got bad news. That devil Power killed earlier has grown substantially larger."
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUijJrnEBM
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TZaMgNtIe
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwrXsNeDnK
Kobeni (Her voice trembling with terror): "Denji... let it... let it eat you..."
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTikhY0dqF
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3a5fASPdX7
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."
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGowtUeMevs
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJhMz8emmC
Super: "It's alright, Kobeni," he reassured her, "everything is going to be alright. Just stay calm, okay?"
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDKDcORqN0
Kobeni nodded in understanding, staying close to Super, finding comfort in his presence amid the chaos.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPxXuKP3sm
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnthvJkiap
Himeno (Impatient): "God, that thing is obnoxious. Aki, can't you use the Fox Devil to swallow this thing?"
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5a3toEOnmP
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKphLa2Ita
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."
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZh0AoLJI9
Himeno (Undeterred): "The Fox Devil's body is in Kyoto, so that makes sense. Let's see what my ghost can do then."
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYH627Ho2JZ
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
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkD6K7dHqz
Eternity Devil (In Pain): “That hurt! It hurts! Oh, it hurts! The pain!”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9fHS6z4Vg
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqECp3E10P
Himeno: "Wh-It got bigger?"
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7hesTgh2f
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."
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VclKCKItP
Denji (Skeptical): "Yeah right! You probably won't let them go, even if I do die—"
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepuKJnMZVr
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."
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdH6EnJCjc3
Arai, emerging from his room, presented a bold suggestion.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQVHrrU40E
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!"
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVzaedisRe
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMII7xj1kPx
Aki (Firmly): "The devil wants Denji dead, which means his death could benefit it in some way. That's why we're not accepting."
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAUOupUiZ4
Himeno: "I'm with him."
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSMFDKis3j
Arai: "But..."
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZA20jhpW7v
Power: "I also agree with topknot! Denji shall not die if I have anything to say about it!"
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQvXJCXYis
Super (Continuing to provide comfort to Kobeni): "Yeah, we're not killing Denji. He stays, and that's that."
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsBxkdLmZf
Aki: "Exactly. We're devil hunters. We only kill devils."
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlofEjM6UXJ
Power: "Yay! Shall we wrestle to pass the time?"
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypL0no5qZv
Denji: "What? No—"
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGIsGm6Twt
Before he could object further, Power counted down, "3, 2, 1, BEGIN!"
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrcsYdk1bu
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Tgm0KYbHI
Himeno: "Aki, do you have any kind of plan to get us all out of here?"
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡig0I2qsuYK
Aki: "If what the devil says is true, we can't kill it. But we aren't killing Denji, either."
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsE4622SjD
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVyZdzD5Zi
Himeno: "So, is the plan to die, then?"
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PZ2HsYdGr
Aki, with a heavy heart, let out a deep sigh and replied, "If we truly run out of options, I'll use the sword."
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBuAB6ukiD
But before Aki could finish his sentence, Himeno appeared beside him, her expression deadly serious.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJo4RjPv1Zd
Himeno: "No, you won't."
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzXue54QAn
Denji: "If that thing can get us out of here, shouldn't he use it?"
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZe4NSmLREF
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."
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtu4tKt05UD
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLM66QqBX9
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNOvomoNn0
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!"
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6Xg7vb87f
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjz5vAFnYCt
Eternity Devil: "Give me Denji's heart!"
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OpdyCaD3z
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSR2J5P8ht
Kobeni (Overwhelmed by fear) "Somebody, anybody, kill Denji! Please! Make him dead!"
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEr4vQP2GYp
Super, his voice filled with urgency, implored, "Kobeni, calm down! Fearing it will make it stronger! Please!"
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzgj08u94v
Arai: "We're running out of time! Someone, please, just kill Denji!"
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiYQ6rhHi9
Aki: "I'm using the sword... Are you okay with that, Himeno?"
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn87vTr97jr
Himeno, using her ghost devil, promptly restrained Aki.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHth25ILaoV
Denji: "Whoa, lady! What the hell?"
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64kjxa35G0
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.”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYzV4VhSyC
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIfeIoVwZb
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."
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXkFEf3lhX
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyjsqHxKpK
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."
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyolfSYEPzG
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."
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiINRAqJrhk
Denji enthusiastically agreed: "Ohh! Yeah! That could work!"
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwAqx57yts
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡit4KKjjDXz
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tZYGHQfwE
Eternity Devil (In Pain): “Oh! Ow! Ow! Ow! Oh God! The pain! Give up! You’ll never get to my heart!”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEiCldVj9D
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwn42MqwY0
Days go by and the eternity devil finally gives up. He reveals his heart begins for them to kill him already.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfhWf2ZaBl
Eternity Devil (Extremely Weak): “This is my heart.. I give up.. Please.. Kill me..”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBqAxzAJX8
Denji (Chainsaw Form): “What?! Already? I was having fun!”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdr6B2z8l8M
