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: "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."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMni52IWSMu
Denji: "Got it."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyZySgAJz9
Power: "No problem, topknot."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWV6KIdGrd
Super: "Sure."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOCkLOSQa4
Aki: "Arai, stay close beside me and Himeno," he directed.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCGoM5uKMt
Arai: "Yes, Sir!"
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04V0OcRvid
Aki: "And Kobeni, you'll stay in the back."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5hlLrzRzl
Kobeni: "Understood."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hmyqOUeXc
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaA3OMiPeZR
Denji (Bored): "Ugh... There doesn't seem to be a devil around here. We could be stuck here for hours."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSKrUKAZf7
Aki (Focused): "Stay focused, Denji. The devil is here somewhere."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2z9gaHAemQ
The group pressed forward in their pursuit, determined to find their target. Suddenly, Himeno's instincts kicked in, prompting her to command a halt.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14eia2Q5Yx
Himeno (Instinctive): "Stop,"
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtbN1VXvBM
Himeno: "Incoming."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjWVAkDVTF
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4sXtRmujD
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGdoxIJnOM
Power (Victorious): "Yeah! Did you all witness the great and almighty Power in action? That pathetic devil froze in mid-air in sheer terror!"
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeXqdPIG7S
Himeno (Corrective): "Actually, Power, I used the ghost devil to immobilize it. It didn't freeze out of fear or anything like that."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvdArxibyI
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCGwN8sEEP
Arai, his voice tinged with confusion and unease, said, "Isn't that...? Wait a moment."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5DM0XbSZt
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrIROamR6s
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMoSiWbUcS
Himeno: "Hold on, Kobeni! Make double peace signs and stay where you are!" she instructed.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BCx9Gygey
Kobeni, puzzled but willing to cooperate, formed two peace signs with her hands and nodded in affirmation.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFm6fVwErsi
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVy7JIT6nYF
Aki (Confused): "What in the—"
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQldyMzlko
But before he could finish, he came to a realization.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ne9CE00Pw
Aki: "Kobeni, stand over here for a second," Aki instructed, his voice laced with a hint of urgency.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYM1WDVQFQ
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1s4lpV3LZ
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTQiAsxwOR
Aki: "Dammit,"
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWV8Zrv7zUJ
Denji quickly exited a room across from the room he had entered and relayed his discovery to the group.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROpf3LZiYx
Denji: "Guys! These rooms lead to other rooms across the hall!"
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSLIFKRIaH
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4b9swHd2u1
Aki (Concerned): "Has anyone else noticed that all the clocks have been stuck at 8:18 for some time now?"
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84vJnt8rXq
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YwTA2VqGe
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewBFZcgHPk
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."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJMVb8zUIN
Himeno: taking a drag from her cigarette, inquired with a touch of concern, "Aki, is the flesh piece reacting?"
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSGq9p38WJ
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."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfeYNZBcp5
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."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYz9zBr73T
Arai, (harboring a glimmer of hope): "But if nobody hears from us for a while, surely they'll send someone to rescue us, right?"
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxies5MHW91
Aki: "I doubt it. Even if they did, they'd likely end up in the same predicament as us."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOfZFgR5mp
Denji (increasingly impatient): "Super, quit fooling around. Can't you just teleport us out of here?"
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NQ6flPKzK
Super: "That's not how my ability works. I need to see the power in action to copy and use it."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQiRoYKfv5
Denji (disbelief): "So you're telling me that in all your time being alive, you've never thought to copy teleportation?!"
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBeWRnTLD9
Super (defensively): "No, because I never needed it!"
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhocwV4LT12
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6wrMHxNGu
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT25Y7d7NfL
Denji: still groggy, inquired, "Have we figured out a way off the 8th floor yet?"
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwtUaxlA8r
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..."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwm0wGpPAeB
Denji: growing increasingly worried, interrupted, "Has something happened to Power?"
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFeXWdJJcY
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSq1DRjdSp
Denji (Relieved): "She's okay. She's always like this."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieTPsORisp
Himeno, her curiosity piqued, takes a seat on the window sill, lighting a cigarette and inhaling deeply before exhaling a plume of smoke.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWBKvHL0dW
They spend the next few minutes in casual conversation, with Denji and Power exchanging ideas for activities while Himeno continues to enjoy her cigarette.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISqBl6Vbw0
The door swings open, and Aki steps into the room.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVoLfthfcp
Aki: "Himeno, do you have any cigarettes left?"
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm53ujgWUFv
Himeno (exhaling a plume of smoke) "Sorry, this is my last one."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxK88iUcfC1
Aki approaches Himeno, a request in his eyes
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8dXhaEc7I
Aki: “Let me have it please..”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa641Z5Z4i0
Himeno: "If you insist," Himeno concedes, taking the cigarette from her mouth and placing it into Aki's.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9O950pP22
Denji and Power share a snicker, recognizing the humorous context of this indirect exchange.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VCWouJts2
Aki (Now smoking): "I've got bad news. That devil Power killed earlier has grown substantially larger."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGqPXIaGje
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpM6IYojYia
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMZvID6R8M
Kobeni (Her voice trembling with terror): "Denji... let it... let it eat you..."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7s0obbVmfD
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡea4dSxEUIo
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."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35MphIh6cq
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAjhVrjKEC
Super: "It's alright, Kobeni," he reassured her, "everything is going to be alright. Just stay calm, okay?"
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WzhA7lx8Y
Kobeni nodded in understanding, staying close to Super, finding comfort in his presence amid the chaos.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYL3Mpfo64
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8rGXBJM4T
Himeno (Impatient): "God, that thing is obnoxious. Aki, can't you use the Fox Devil to swallow this thing?"
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtREcJs5yH
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlW43fApeMq
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."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBptkHVvlZd
Himeno (Undeterred): "The Fox Devil's body is in Kyoto, so that makes sense. Let's see what my ghost can do then."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK615Y5deRe
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
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDZz42p0xd
Eternity Devil (In Pain): “That hurt! It hurts! Oh, it hurts! The pain!”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vXq2yuFiZ
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv25ASpd2Ac
Himeno: "Wh-It got bigger?"
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8noR09wRH
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."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPY0ihPRcv9
Denji (Skeptical): "Yeah right! You probably won't let them go, even if I do die—"
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFK79oCBxe4
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."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFt7PygpsJu
Arai, emerging from his room, presented a bold suggestion.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMokPofxlqE
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!"
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MJ3szzm3D
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHBvCoAFdT
Aki (Firmly): "The devil wants Denji dead, which means his death could benefit it in some way. That's why we're not accepting."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDaYnQzWak
Himeno: "I'm with him."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDofBghTTKJ
Arai: "But..."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFown5vubP0
Power: "I also agree with topknot! Denji shall not die if I have anything to say about it!"
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWP6BAslDP
Super (Continuing to provide comfort to Kobeni): "Yeah, we're not killing Denji. He stays, and that's that."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxO68VBSfR
Aki: "Exactly. We're devil hunters. We only kill devils."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilo0fpqmI3
Power: "Yay! Shall we wrestle to pass the time?"
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGw1CVUbsXV
Denji: "What? No—"
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJd423M7bww
Before he could object further, Power counted down, "3, 2, 1, BEGIN!"
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTDeJPBNTh
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoitVUvQ3Q
Himeno: "Aki, do you have any kind of plan to get us all out of here?"
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTapJD8KTzK
Aki: "If what the devil says is true, we can't kill it. But we aren't killing Denji, either."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4iRJchGvW
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPjzOTW1Cy
Himeno: "So, is the plan to die, then?"
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeTl2H6Vyg
Aki, with a heavy heart, let out a deep sigh and replied, "If we truly run out of options, I'll use the sword."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEB4bcjTX8
But before Aki could finish his sentence, Himeno appeared beside him, her expression deadly serious.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEb1qYoKh13
Himeno: "No, you won't."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYO4gsoGkN
Denji: "If that thing can get us out of here, shouldn't he use it?"
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJu7FkfCw6
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."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pd6WvFnPW
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRJ4DRoj8v
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTs8NKOhqTh
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!"
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6K3fbkLuGk
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSQWJePpiF
Eternity Devil: "Give me Denji's heart!"
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtYjxDkL80
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSB9uMHoGAG
Kobeni (Overwhelmed by fear) "Somebody, anybody, kill Denji! Please! Make him dead!"
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqyznRJDJl
Super, his voice filled with urgency, implored, "Kobeni, calm down! Fearing it will make it stronger! Please!"
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7i7bIWfcR
Arai: "We're running out of time! Someone, please, just kill Denji!"
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzT7tvhVRUG
Aki: "I'm using the sword... Are you okay with that, Himeno?"
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pE811wt6x
Himeno, using her ghost devil, promptly restrained Aki.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruFtavbzxE
Denji: "Whoa, lady! What the hell?"
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8vL0rK7un
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.”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47QcD2a9dv
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJJoAhF7lo
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."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xHmYyrPDl
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5uoi5f7pD
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."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXssiqTw6B
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."
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBw2oZGvDpP
Denji enthusiastically agreed: "Ohh! Yeah! That could work!"
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc42J9Dc61W
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3LMlPgni4
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkShWvDk008
Eternity Devil (In Pain): “Oh! Ow! Ow! Ow! Oh God! The pain! Give up! You’ll never get to my heart!”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTfAgB4TVr
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.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAtgOifNuZ
Days go by and the eternity devil finally gives up. He reveals his heart begins for them to kill him already.
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcL9sB8vgQ
Eternity Devil (Extremely Weak): “This is my heart.. I give up.. Please.. Kill me..”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KZLBhePOw
Denji (Chainsaw Form): “What?! Already? I was having fun!”
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXLd88174e
