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.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKil9Q8VS8U
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."
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UzSvJfXca
Denji: "Got it."
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKRhKAyR4n
Power: "No problem, topknot."
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqVPwvrTJ3
Super: "Sure."
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHiZ6Hx75E
Aki: "Arai, stay close beside me and Himeno," he directed.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKfYFgjakK
Arai: "Yes, Sir!"
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17iYrxzTd7
Aki: "And Kobeni, you'll stay in the back."
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2cy91vQA4
Kobeni: "Understood."
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVFuqTTV9Z
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.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdW2AhDeesq
Denji (Bored): "Ugh... There doesn't seem to be a devil around here. We could be stuck here for hours."
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXt9C70HyF
Aki (Focused): "Stay focused, Denji. The devil is here somewhere."
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvzhftUTjE
The group pressed forward in their pursuit, determined to find their target. Suddenly, Himeno's instincts kicked in, prompting her to command a halt.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyWE0OAqZi
Himeno (Instinctive): "Stop,"
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dID5vDv4s
Himeno: "Incoming."
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88HJKcLFyu
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.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioqY2RYr44
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.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsd8iLoC7CM
Power (Victorious): "Yeah! Did you all witness the great and almighty Power in action? That pathetic devil froze in mid-air in sheer terror!"
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSSW0hu3Ye
Himeno (Corrective): "Actually, Power, I used the ghost devil to immobilize it. It didn't freeze out of fear or anything like that."
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZv2LWzlPe
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.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9clpl3FL8C
Arai, his voice tinged with confusion and unease, said, "Isn't that...? Wait a moment."
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMVsi1847m
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.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3tEku3vR2
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.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZkzyZSEmT
Himeno: "Hold on, Kobeni! Make double peace signs and stay where you are!" she instructed.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAyFNay7xI
Kobeni, puzzled but willing to cooperate, formed two peace signs with her hands and nodded in affirmation.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55f3o26uI7
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.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2r812JvoD
Aki (Confused): "What in the—"
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Bi41u579f
But before he could finish, he came to a realization.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwd1l5I2Ouy
Aki: "Kobeni, stand over here for a second," Aki instructed, his voice laced with a hint of urgency.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIYiWyLYdL
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.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK64EWvSbZA
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.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGK5nb9wGf
Aki: "Dammit,"
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QKvpmKnlX
Denji quickly exited a room across from the room he had entered and relayed his discovery to the group.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6wM0kXWfm
Denji: "Guys! These rooms lead to other rooms across the hall!"
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYlnxOHohs
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.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VMvYghS7Y
Aki (Concerned): "Has anyone else noticed that all the clocks have been stuck at 8:18 for some time now?"
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdW3XyccV7B
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.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdc8PxGA5OR
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.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4urVE2uGdA
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."
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0GvJBhmeL
Himeno: taking a drag from her cigarette, inquired with a touch of concern, "Aki, is the flesh piece reacting?"
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcafuwmXqUW
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."
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloBjrU105t
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."
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVWDMIaJyN
Arai, (harboring a glimmer of hope): "But if nobody hears from us for a while, surely they'll send someone to rescue us, right?"
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJd6CGKfQiT
Aki: "I doubt it. Even if they did, they'd likely end up in the same predicament as us."
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAXJGI7reU
Denji (increasingly impatient): "Super, quit fooling around. Can't you just teleport us out of here?"
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGf29pdblbg
Super: "That's not how my ability works. I need to see the power in action to copy and use it."
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LJkX60xmv
Denji (disbelief): "So you're telling me that in all your time being alive, you've never thought to copy teleportation?!"
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTgb1wUWA0
Super (defensively): "No, because I never needed it!"
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoM50uAupmE
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.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWO7ksP8eGD
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.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZrNeou6gY
Denji: still groggy, inquired, "Have we figured out a way off the 8th floor yet?"
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlu2RJnossQ
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..."
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnuf2oNSVF
Denji: growing increasingly worried, interrupted, "Has something happened to Power?"
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzcbsS9ejx
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.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1ONkwfc61
Denji (Relieved): "She's okay. She's always like this."
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9z33sB9FP
Himeno, her curiosity piqued, takes a seat on the window sill, lighting a cigarette and inhaling deeply before exhaling a plume of smoke.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAHqOYDJxW
They spend the next few minutes in casual conversation, with Denji and Power exchanging ideas for activities while Himeno continues to enjoy her cigarette.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRm2mK6r3XI
The door swings open, and Aki steps into the room.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSFtBntnPO
Aki: "Himeno, do you have any cigarettes left?"
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjinfjaEju
Himeno (exhaling a plume of smoke) "Sorry, this is my last one."
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCmiw23zRE
Aki approaches Himeno, a request in his eyes
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzOuFO3V5b
Aki: “Let me have it please..”
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWDub8dWR2
Himeno: "If you insist," Himeno concedes, taking the cigarette from her mouth and placing it into Aki's.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJHjnH3FCx
Denji and Power share a snicker, recognizing the humorous context of this indirect exchange.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1QPdySIz4
Aki (Now smoking): "I've got bad news. That devil Power killed earlier has grown substantially larger."
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWj8PXYNN2m
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jV96YUa6w
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.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6LNC6GN1l
Kobeni (Her voice trembling with terror): "Denji... let it... let it eat you..."
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32U384zAfx
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.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5DcdZjylz
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."
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Tga8H1OQo
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.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBwzi4DMLd
Super: "It's alright, Kobeni," he reassured her, "everything is going to be alright. Just stay calm, okay?"
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToSoZwUOpE
Kobeni nodded in understanding, staying close to Super, finding comfort in his presence amid the chaos.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRWQQAlymu
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.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7FOigZdy8
Himeno (Impatient): "God, that thing is obnoxious. Aki, can't you use the Fox Devil to swallow this thing?"
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLzIZLm0dB
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.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHvE5wGqCz
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."
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBruyhqdyEK
Himeno (Undeterred): "The Fox Devil's body is in Kyoto, so that makes sense. Let's see what my ghost can do then."
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgLn6mI4h8
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
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFf3ClZbauF
Eternity Devil (In Pain): “That hurt! It hurts! Oh, it hurts! The pain!”
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrJrTrH5XL
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.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNhIStU8R0
Himeno: "Wh-It got bigger?"
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpL9R2jJMq
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."
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU79bNQjs4w
Denji (Skeptical): "Yeah right! You probably won't let them go, even if I do die—"
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoPewyvMYs
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."
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1jq1Pikl2
Arai, emerging from his room, presented a bold suggestion.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXr3V1NqgQb
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!"
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01Lc9y3HTF
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvFGhNiZuY
Aki (Firmly): "The devil wants Denji dead, which means his death could benefit it in some way. That's why we're not accepting."
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ViCiDLHJE
Himeno: "I'm with him."
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOo9baztLJv
Arai: "But..."
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWW1EjM3rUb
Power: "I also agree with topknot! Denji shall not die if I have anything to say about it!"
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaO9ApdgKP
Super (Continuing to provide comfort to Kobeni): "Yeah, we're not killing Denji. He stays, and that's that."
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXgZG1w4Mq
Aki: "Exactly. We're devil hunters. We only kill devils."
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVEXCHAZow
Power: "Yay! Shall we wrestle to pass the time?"
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZJAeaZ35F
Denji: "What? No—"
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQ9HB57x4R
Before he could object further, Power counted down, "3, 2, 1, BEGIN!"
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBj4VlEcoI6
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.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjwNA2Rt1x
Himeno: "Aki, do you have any kind of plan to get us all out of here?"
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEoffkVGnY
Aki: "If what the devil says is true, we can't kill it. But we aren't killing Denji, either."
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvh8z1fKX6X
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡef9TbiVYAI
Himeno: "So, is the plan to die, then?"
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLjxFYsZI3
Aki, with a heavy heart, let out a deep sigh and replied, "If we truly run out of options, I'll use the sword."
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmr8OpTyfCE
But before Aki could finish his sentence, Himeno appeared beside him, her expression deadly serious.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1bQ3p8gJg
Himeno: "No, you won't."
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8L1mia6K0
Denji: "If that thing can get us out of here, shouldn't he use it?"
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8eSH8AQGm
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."
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvse8ZFZrB
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.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysqiVkdq6j
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.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZN8v9VGXb
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!"
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JTmyf83Zb
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.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tZ5CzqODu
Eternity Devil: "Give me Denji's heart!"
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8p6ROoiVr
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.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkflmH1nlYU
Kobeni (Overwhelmed by fear) "Somebody, anybody, kill Denji! Please! Make him dead!"
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbJgzxOHzG
Super, his voice filled with urgency, implored, "Kobeni, calm down! Fearing it will make it stronger! Please!"
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBBFlMsxFh
Arai: "We're running out of time! Someone, please, just kill Denji!"
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6ZTnOPdnL
Aki: "I'm using the sword... Are you okay with that, Himeno?"
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkMhycCIQ1
Himeno, using her ghost devil, promptly restrained Aki.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdk7ODnSLR
Denji: "Whoa, lady! What the hell?"
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVwnan68Nv
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.”
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfpeDALwov
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.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QnTRqBOv5
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."
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNnokFQeVU
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.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqaqtZP56l
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."
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡda4P727St8
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."
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YekqCcPxP
Denji enthusiastically agreed: "Ohh! Yeah! That could work!"
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsICCbwT6v
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.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzs43R3Eykp
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.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQNXozXWjt
Eternity Devil (In Pain): “Oh! Ow! Ow! Ow! Oh God! The pain! Give up! You’ll never get to my heart!”
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgLXGm3S5h
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.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgchwNRWyc
Days go by and the eternity devil finally gives up. He reveals his heart begins for them to kill him already.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4HsVveOPO
Eternity Devil (Extremely Weak): “This is my heart.. I give up.. Please.. Kill me..”
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXb5fHj2fS
Denji (Chainsaw Form): “What?! Already? I was having fun!”
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3W15nakZpf
