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."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlwcdN97ei
Denji: "Got it."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XG1cSUrRz
Power: "No problem, topknot."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aWNOWqjlP
Super: "Sure."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkTOY3o9zp
Aki: "Arai, stay close beside me and Himeno," he directed.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFG3xBvQezc
Arai: "Yes, Sir!"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡad6tigycb2
Aki: "And Kobeni, you'll stay in the back."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpn57hngyO
Kobeni: "Understood."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpZa3uha1c
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEOyzpVcgz
Denji (Bored): "Ugh... There doesn't seem to be a devil around here. We could be stuck here for hours."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPCcwcjq1I
Aki (Focused): "Stay focused, Denji. The devil is here somewhere."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6zrVHJ5vo
The group pressed forward in their pursuit, determined to find their target. Suddenly, Himeno's instincts kicked in, prompting her to command a halt.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPyOxIdpYl
Himeno (Instinctive): "Stop,"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4R2eczpPZe
Himeno: "Incoming."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkBMWg2jab
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bdOElR0jF
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBwNciLJ3g
Power (Victorious): "Yeah! Did you all witness the great and almighty Power in action? That pathetic devil froze in mid-air in sheer terror!"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5i4uVseu5
Himeno (Corrective): "Actually, Power, I used the ghost devil to immobilize it. It didn't freeze out of fear or anything like that."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGtqWpv3zB
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNab3XCggWU
Arai, his voice tinged with confusion and unease, said, "Isn't that...? Wait a moment."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyB6pBT312
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0yMJ7zR7o
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpp4o3Fims
Himeno: "Hold on, Kobeni! Make double peace signs and stay where you are!" she instructed.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3snhTXwu4E
Kobeni, puzzled but willing to cooperate, formed two peace signs with her hands and nodded in affirmation.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIClfoFIJV
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjPhjo3JnQ
Aki (Confused): "What in the—"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyidBkAIhh
But before he could finish, he came to a realization.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jgvBNtKK7
Aki: "Kobeni, stand over here for a second," Aki instructed, his voice laced with a hint of urgency.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PfKmuW6mP
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6mMaDzCPc
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTKTgyMh1g
Aki: "Dammit,"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4xtA2bGwB
Denji quickly exited a room across from the room he had entered and relayed his discovery to the group.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7Oj7X7Sm9
Denji: "Guys! These rooms lead to other rooms across the hall!"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTY9ksWIOwz
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVaqwbPUn5
Aki (Concerned): "Has anyone else noticed that all the clocks have been stuck at 8:18 for some time now?"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFO5ZeGQrMg
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCt8QEDRsf
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7ilcFpXfk
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."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodj14kHGdc
Himeno: taking a drag from her cigarette, inquired with a touch of concern, "Aki, is the flesh piece reacting?"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHg98Wr4woP
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."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjR4YqiF0Se
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."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlTLuc7G5f
Arai, (harboring a glimmer of hope): "But if nobody hears from us for a while, surely they'll send someone to rescue us, right?"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQyqcBS48j
Aki: "I doubt it. Even if they did, they'd likely end up in the same predicament as us."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbxONiwdbh
Denji (increasingly impatient): "Super, quit fooling around. Can't you just teleport us out of here?"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3tuXb23JR
Super: "That's not how my ability works. I need to see the power in action to copy and use it."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggrwcQGSCc
Denji (disbelief): "So you're telling me that in all your time being alive, you've never thought to copy teleportation?!"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23Qi7cSlKJ
Super (defensively): "No, because I never needed it!"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilgenukSnV
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ520iHMMa99
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCarGQO2Wog
Denji: still groggy, inquired, "Have we figured out a way off the 8th floor yet?"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kpnzoebcx
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..."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CxW4346sD
Denji: growing increasingly worried, interrupted, "Has something happened to Power?"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMBmdM7VJ1
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclohuHZQZk
Denji (Relieved): "She's okay. She's always like this."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMU0t7CX32
Himeno, her curiosity piqued, takes a seat on the window sill, lighting a cigarette and inhaling deeply before exhaling a plume of smoke.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLywBKvzMlI
They spend the next few minutes in casual conversation, with Denji and Power exchanging ideas for activities while Himeno continues to enjoy her cigarette.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDEgfZDeO7
The door swings open, and Aki steps into the room.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqR7CKN9dk
Aki: "Himeno, do you have any cigarettes left?"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzn3WPZRs24
Himeno (exhaling a plume of smoke) "Sorry, this is my last one."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyktmVfogf
Aki approaches Himeno, a request in his eyes
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeQ9avkVtZ
Aki: “Let me have it please..”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxZnpTNr3l
Himeno: "If you insist," Himeno concedes, taking the cigarette from her mouth and placing it into Aki's.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPDKtCw21h
Denji and Power share a snicker, recognizing the humorous context of this indirect exchange.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbE2h3kJg06
Aki (Now smoking): "I've got bad news. That devil Power killed earlier has grown substantially larger."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVLhiMgNnz
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZ1W1xCLgZ
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxN9YcZr97I
Kobeni (Her voice trembling with terror): "Denji... let it... let it eat you..."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Cy2Rep0z5
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhBdE1QYjd
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."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirroWE4tun
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjttr38ybxm
Super: "It's alright, Kobeni," he reassured her, "everything is going to be alright. Just stay calm, okay?"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbPus3bwkP
Kobeni nodded in understanding, staying close to Super, finding comfort in his presence amid the chaos.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspjo3aELlf
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNuDg46F0x
Himeno (Impatient): "God, that thing is obnoxious. Aki, can't you use the Fox Devil to swallow this thing?"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqnhPmISVw
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuve0Z4H8Sm
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."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTvLGFRV2L
Himeno (Undeterred): "The Fox Devil's body is in Kyoto, so that makes sense. Let's see what my ghost can do then."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTflhCVStF
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
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnX89uvnVsP
Eternity Devil (In Pain): “That hurt! It hurts! Oh, it hurts! The pain!”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGf2VwqQLv
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3XeUSa5u5
Himeno: "Wh-It got bigger?"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauZ3AdDZcG
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."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipRtRwkYJF
Denji (Skeptical): "Yeah right! You probably won't let them go, even if I do die—"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGK2dCSJPu
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."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF05vH4rDaT
Arai, emerging from his room, presented a bold suggestion.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4agmUj2ej
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!"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr517ulFEBf
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMN4CcXLJAp
Aki (Firmly): "The devil wants Denji dead, which means his death could benefit it in some way. That's why we're not accepting."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOvzPcoib3
Himeno: "I'm with him."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFScC5GiBJ
Arai: "But..."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEUD0ls5GO
Power: "I also agree with topknot! Denji shall not die if I have anything to say about it!"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PtJZeHJAb
Super (Continuing to provide comfort to Kobeni): "Yeah, we're not killing Denji. He stays, and that's that."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG72Co5Etqv
Aki: "Exactly. We're devil hunters. We only kill devils."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlsTxWN4bw
Power: "Yay! Shall we wrestle to pass the time?"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi71jGq5aui
Denji: "What? No—"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmUL7dFGs3
Before he could object further, Power counted down, "3, 2, 1, BEGIN!"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFjdvaZeNC
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLT12y6xwPF
Himeno: "Aki, do you have any kind of plan to get us all out of here?"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFy1c5e5ht
Aki: "If what the devil says is true, we can't kill it. But we aren't killing Denji, either."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiEzZXKJcg
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DBBXbSl2j
Himeno: "So, is the plan to die, then?"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYT5RJkHYxN
Aki, with a heavy heart, let out a deep sigh and replied, "If we truly run out of options, I'll use the sword."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CYG4oKw7Q
But before Aki could finish his sentence, Himeno appeared beside him, her expression deadly serious.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkH4cqA8RY
Himeno: "No, you won't."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCbL8ACfET
Denji: "If that thing can get us out of here, shouldn't he use it?"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIMKV8Yfde
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."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwo1AACsMR
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1srjoPiQb
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTydlE0uPMC
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!"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkh80Cwr45r
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2jG993ueo
Eternity Devil: "Give me Denji's heart!"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXHWTa6ioO
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6htc5kp3v
Kobeni (Overwhelmed by fear) "Somebody, anybody, kill Denji! Please! Make him dead!"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtj4bKY9FmY
Super, his voice filled with urgency, implored, "Kobeni, calm down! Fearing it will make it stronger! Please!"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XZow0Vyfg
Arai: "We're running out of time! Someone, please, just kill Denji!"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYwdW4VStk
Aki: "I'm using the sword... Are you okay with that, Himeno?"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1l3CLXrw06
Himeno, using her ghost devil, promptly restrained Aki.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTb3pzAKVTO
Denji: "Whoa, lady! What the hell?"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8kyJZ1tOt
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.”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXZz8EVoeZ
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslHX6KrHsN
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."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsI0mqaKmt
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinqefPo0s0
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."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjP8unAcwmL
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."
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDldUOATzS
Denji enthusiastically agreed: "Ohh! Yeah! That could work!"
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWNqKJpshI
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPsTkjgm0Z
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokXJiSG8I0
Eternity Devil (In Pain): “Oh! Ow! Ow! Ow! Oh God! The pain! Give up! You’ll never get to my heart!”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzV3JOcRNDS
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.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSccPP3f2Z
Days go by and the eternity devil finally gives up. He reveals his heart begins for them to kill him already.
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cIQv1QuW3
Eternity Devil (Extremely Weak): “This is my heart.. I give up.. Please.. Kill me..”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6OoiAQ82s
Denji (Chainsaw Form): “What?! Already? I was having fun!”
151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR93l2cFYm3
