Chapter 3

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.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QSfcfMtt4
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."
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSlqXPHQ04
Denji: "Got it."
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoj9g8Y02nc
Power: "No problem, topknot."
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9emTpLq2b
Super: "Sure."
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjiIMHsNzb
Aki: "Arai, stay close beside me and Himeno," he directed.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7loN8uUP3
Arai: "Yes, Sir!"
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsYydVCzvo
Aki: "And Kobeni, you'll stay in the back."
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitIwGFuz0h
Kobeni: "Understood."
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3Tn9y1Yir
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.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcI75YOE71N
Denji (Bored): "Ugh... There doesn't seem to be a devil around here. We could be stuck here for hours."
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHQUF9tzUg
Aki (Focused): "Stay focused, Denji. The devil is here somewhere."
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMTgNuhEmi
The group pressed forward in their pursuit, determined to find their target. Suddenly, Himeno's instincts kicked in, prompting her to command a halt.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbWDFPW6Xo
Himeno (Instinctive): "Stop,"
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFgY7krgHT
Himeno: "Incoming."
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPb9ry1w1j
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.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT480ZsPbr7
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.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaiH8kKpr6
Power (Victorious): "Yeah! Did you all witness the great and almighty Power in action? That pathetic devil froze in mid-air in sheer terror!"
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVraXyyaQ2L
Himeno (Corrective): "Actually, Power, I used the ghost devil to immobilize it. It didn't freeze out of fear or anything like that."
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFNzrKsfTt
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.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ454N7BTBjR
Arai, his voice tinged with confusion and unease, said, "Isn't that...? Wait a moment."
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dmzi2IV7Z
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.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXM613kzSo
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.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppQff0LlKU
Himeno: "Hold on, Kobeni! Make double peace signs and stay where you are!" she instructed.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyRGlKmSB5
Kobeni, puzzled but willing to cooperate, formed two peace signs with her hands and nodded in affirmation.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6zht6LKGN
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.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PeAB3k46O
Aki (Confused): "What in the—"
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJje2VTzRvn
But before he could finish, he came to a realization.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJwPGHyjIY
Aki: "Kobeni, stand over here for a second," Aki instructed, his voice laced with a hint of urgency.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuSIiweF3R
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.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcGISimVyY
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.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYcYx99gQ8
Aki: "Dammit,"
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrid7Bg1G5
Denji quickly exited a room across from the room he had entered and relayed his discovery to the group.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiVhn2UjRp
Denji: "Guys! These rooms lead to other rooms across the hall!"
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3nceEQIyA
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.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CAdYIKkNO
Aki (Concerned): "Has anyone else noticed that all the clocks have been stuck at 8:18 for some time now?"
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsRG2VbHZK
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.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX69COrteLN
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.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6Z35jyHAc
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."
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKDB14aAWX
Himeno: taking a drag from her cigarette, inquired with a touch of concern, "Aki, is the flesh piece reacting?"
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAPVMkgXeF
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."
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOj5a2WrV8C
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."
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zqUxXul3g
Arai, (harboring a glimmer of hope): "But if nobody hears from us for a while, surely they'll send someone to rescue us, right?"
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNbOgfVCzS
Aki: "I doubt it. Even if they did, they'd likely end up in the same predicament as us."
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrE61prWH4
Denji (increasingly impatient): "Super, quit fooling around. Can't you just teleport us out of here?"
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4z0XxaMli
Super: "That's not how my ability works. I need to see the power in action to copy and use it."
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JSdXha3yG
Denji (disbelief): "So you're telling me that in all your time being alive, you've never thought to copy teleportation?!"
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRDetlyx7a
Super (defensively): "No, because I never needed it!"
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWz5PDg1Ty
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.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKtFnHeH6S
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.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFLGxXoSUT
Denji: still groggy, inquired, "Have we figured out a way off the 8th floor yet?"
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0SxH3S1uS
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..."
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vfXLm76Zr
Denji: growing increasingly worried, interrupted, "Has something happened to Power?"
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQw5unJdZLk
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.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOTxKYZVu3
Denji (Relieved): "She's okay. She's always like this."
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfB1oIPX784
Himeno, her curiosity piqued, takes a seat on the window sill, lighting a cigarette and inhaling deeply before exhaling a plume of smoke.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvHE8f3SNU
They spend the next few minutes in casual conversation, with Denji and Power exchanging ideas for activities while Himeno continues to enjoy her cigarette.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRat2nGt4hR
The door swings open, and Aki steps into the room.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmOShtXKsp
Aki: "Himeno, do you have any cigarettes left?"
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXGuLEhiCR
Himeno (exhaling a plume of smoke) "Sorry, this is my last one."
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxFTB8OiOm
Aki approaches Himeno, a request in his eyes
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLLvn1Ad9Z
Aki: “Let me have it please..”
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9iz4sBgIY
Himeno: "If you insist," Himeno concedes, taking the cigarette from her mouth and placing it into Aki's.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UAlC3dQ4p
Denji and Power share a snicker, recognizing the humorous context of this indirect exchange.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTC5xbI1b4h
Aki (Now smoking): "I've got bad news. That devil Power killed earlier has grown substantially larger."
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImjsh7Ab4z
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaXlfu1w5n
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.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46juEGDXJy
Kobeni (Her voice trembling with terror): "Denji... let it... let it eat you..."
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7KHuIZ6J3
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.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqu6GhHp9Sj
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."
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZ5gJ6POhm
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.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTf6PLqqxkx
Super: "It's alright, Kobeni," he reassured her, "everything is going to be alright. Just stay calm, okay?"
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DcIlLaKRa
Kobeni nodded in understanding, staying close to Super, finding comfort in his presence amid the chaos.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknVjTdxLJH
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.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsA1uf2AReN
Himeno (Impatient): "God, that thing is obnoxious. Aki, can't you use the Fox Devil to swallow this thing?"
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUbZ4R4hJk
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.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFHFckYng1
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."
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhykLt2mT7
Himeno (Undeterred): "The Fox Devil's body is in Kyoto, so that makes sense. Let's see what my ghost can do then."
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjEU46aSFa
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
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mGxWYajFO
Eternity Devil (In Pain): “That hurt! It hurts! Oh, it hurts! The pain!”
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBuEuTanwk
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.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfL4htNUxPh
Himeno: "Wh-It got bigger?"
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jD5pn9aLC
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."
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXydfR5mWLb
Denji (Skeptical): "Yeah right! You probably won't let them go, even if I do die—"
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SaHJJ72oK
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."
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuU5qdqBF6
Arai, emerging from his room, presented a bold suggestion.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ296l3aLfEo
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!"
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5GdiLKshm
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEjE4BLRCm
Aki (Firmly): "The devil wants Denji dead, which means his death could benefit it in some way. That's why we're not accepting."
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXoLGhRbve
Himeno: "I'm with him."
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdVTCewtNX
Arai: "But..."
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiQlrxrU2m
Power: "I also agree with topknot! Denji shall not die if I have anything to say about it!"
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStiyY6BQfO
Super (Continuing to provide comfort to Kobeni): "Yeah, we're not killing Denji. He stays, and that's that."
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hg12sDjKe
Aki: "Exactly. We're devil hunters. We only kill devils."
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtGLNH3Z9O
Power: "Yay! Shall we wrestle to pass the time?"
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIOLDJBmTI
Denji: "What? No—"
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyObw47RZP7
Before he could object further, Power counted down, "3, 2, 1, BEGIN!"
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHSMdJe2zW
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.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPqbUSeP0Y
Himeno: "Aki, do you have any kind of plan to get us all out of here?"
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCgwfxFUQv
Aki: "If what the devil says is true, we can't kill it. But we aren't killing Denji, either."
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDlJNP1XRK
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqM2hu1FQY
Himeno: "So, is the plan to die, then?"
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOVAZxjdcH
Aki, with a heavy heart, let out a deep sigh and replied, "If we truly run out of options, I'll use the sword."
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxNd4rycbh
But before Aki could finish his sentence, Himeno appeared beside him, her expression deadly serious.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd11fNW2iRk
Himeno: "No, you won't."
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwe693Qs7rb
Denji: "If that thing can get us out of here, shouldn't he use it?"
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Pc9e97Jo3
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."
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnb8WsEQJwo
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.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRzy3UvpFN
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.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFeGRR0vff
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!"
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0SjTx1RuY
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.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4En9uRqLYN
Eternity Devil: "Give me Denji's heart!"
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7d7iJmIOWO
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.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yFIM7zwiL
Kobeni (Overwhelmed by fear) "Somebody, anybody, kill Denji! Please! Make him dead!"
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetmOamK4WM
Super, his voice filled with urgency, implored, "Kobeni, calm down! Fearing it will make it stronger! Please!"
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUpIxsftSP
Arai: "We're running out of time! Someone, please, just kill Denji!"
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nT5OUrdkz
Aki: "I'm using the sword... Are you okay with that, Himeno?"
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sTrco6eVx
Himeno, using her ghost devil, promptly restrained Aki.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YMH6LmJzY
Denji: "Whoa, lady! What the hell?"
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxYI9fBol0
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.”
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiSSN7Cl1K
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.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvGON0XcwS
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."
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxzOkgEhOU
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.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNQRESmr6k
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."
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡet09LzBV9d
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."
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfikPW0JEO
Denji enthusiastically agreed: "Ohh! Yeah! That could work!"
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SVOv4qUFm
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.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILiOchupwc
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.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvUN70aKbT
Eternity Devil (In Pain): “Oh! Ow! Ow! Ow! Oh God! The pain! Give up! You’ll never get to my heart!”
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSeE6YGBmG
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.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgb4Rf4gQxx
Days go by and the eternity devil finally gives up. He reveals his heart begins for them to kill him already.
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdHC4HHH4M
Eternity Devil (Extremely Weak): “This is my heart.. I give up.. Please.. Kill me..”
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGPXbW1g05
Denji (Chainsaw Form): “What?! Already? I was having fun!”
142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYKjiSKXwU
