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."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsR1FvBgd3
Denji: "Got it."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncq4VufPoY
Power: "No problem, topknot."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUkUIlkkzq
Super: "Sure."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwzA8i4gsG
Aki: "Arai, stay close beside me and Himeno," he directed.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7D4Db8eYw
Arai: "Yes, Sir!"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKHD4IaXt6
Aki: "And Kobeni, you'll stay in the back."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSX38InRsJt
Kobeni: "Understood."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBYlJKmAcv
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7bVcUfTaD
Denji (Bored): "Ugh... There doesn't seem to be a devil around here. We could be stuck here for hours."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwwPiIBJqb
Aki (Focused): "Stay focused, Denji. The devil is here somewhere."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6rlqrzjAO
The group pressed forward in their pursuit, determined to find their target. Suddenly, Himeno's instincts kicked in, prompting her to command a halt.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6vzjZLstw
Himeno (Instinctive): "Stop,"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgO3LFeZI8
Himeno: "Incoming."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡki2KgTOjFO
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdcldNJro3
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhB0X0kdzeb
Power (Victorious): "Yeah! Did you all witness the great and almighty Power in action? That pathetic devil froze in mid-air in sheer terror!"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1J2Ep0WWl8
Himeno (Corrective): "Actually, Power, I used the ghost devil to immobilize it. It didn't freeze out of fear or anything like that."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtabzwS3w5S
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWASUsf0O7
Arai, his voice tinged with confusion and unease, said, "Isn't that...? Wait a moment."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KV4ZyfYHz
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdV8v1HV5M
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qs0ElXgpd
Himeno: "Hold on, Kobeni! Make double peace signs and stay where you are!" she instructed.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfufT7t3IzF
Kobeni, puzzled but willing to cooperate, formed two peace signs with her hands and nodded in affirmation.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxZ1grnTjp
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqGF8is1Gt
Aki (Confused): "What in the—"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVhJVmR6Wv
But before he could finish, he came to a realization.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQeCkuju6p
Aki: "Kobeni, stand over here for a second," Aki instructed, his voice laced with a hint of urgency.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRDwTXjI3a
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSi5ggfSDa
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd68hgIzj8D
Aki: "Dammit,"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8evbs64NP
Denji quickly exited a room across from the room he had entered and relayed his discovery to the group.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiUbKGgbMT
Denji: "Guys! These rooms lead to other rooms across the hall!"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrFxOign3E
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVteVgsn5U
Aki (Concerned): "Has anyone else noticed that all the clocks have been stuck at 8:18 for some time now?"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcY0IGH4S51
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1J4Rk9kNI3
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTyCl4i1wM
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."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlWGzpJ6oV
Himeno: taking a drag from her cigarette, inquired with a touch of concern, "Aki, is the flesh piece reacting?"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5hh6htPis
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."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oIsm2Eal8
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."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EAvkp73GX
Arai, (harboring a glimmer of hope): "But if nobody hears from us for a while, surely they'll send someone to rescue us, right?"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLDSbeEEi6
Aki: "I doubt it. Even if they did, they'd likely end up in the same predicament as us."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3pIJI5nAr
Denji (increasingly impatient): "Super, quit fooling around. Can't you just teleport us out of here?"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAAbW130mu
Super: "That's not how my ability works. I need to see the power in action to copy and use it."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGDdVcqqeu
Denji (disbelief): "So you're telling me that in all your time being alive, you've never thought to copy teleportation?!"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Jz6UUXVAn
Super (defensively): "No, because I never needed it!"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5l5jlizLl
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWQqLMkQ2C
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFufoefKX8m
Denji: still groggy, inquired, "Have we figured out a way off the 8th floor yet?"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GlAwBmIZ7
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..."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0fXcfQlAZ
Denji: growing increasingly worried, interrupted, "Has something happened to Power?"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIvOzzEWWL
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrdveBkovk
Denji (Relieved): "She's okay. She's always like this."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pJ2168ZN4
Himeno, her curiosity piqued, takes a seat on the window sill, lighting a cigarette and inhaling deeply before exhaling a plume of smoke.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ad0KgRGK0
They spend the next few minutes in casual conversation, with Denji and Power exchanging ideas for activities while Himeno continues to enjoy her cigarette.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3LLUN6mCc
The door swings open, and Aki steps into the room.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy70ulcaGCO
Aki: "Himeno, do you have any cigarettes left?"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRsgY9YmzZ
Himeno (exhaling a plume of smoke) "Sorry, this is my last one."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJ4XDjy4Fd
Aki approaches Himeno, a request in his eyes
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9mJzc986v
Aki: “Let me have it please..”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9k5SiYvQwD
Himeno: "If you insist," Himeno concedes, taking the cigarette from her mouth and placing it into Aki's.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UVw5LhHJV
Denji and Power share a snicker, recognizing the humorous context of this indirect exchange.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITAVnAGlRv
Aki (Now smoking): "I've got bad news. That devil Power killed earlier has grown substantially larger."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5dr2mOZ5O
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1SIkvuuIn
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBeKZRBNw2
Kobeni (Her voice trembling with terror): "Denji... let it... let it eat you..."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDAEBUS2Kc
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4e0Ey9nJER
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."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeHVPzWd7W
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj31qOcfZZY
Super: "It's alright, Kobeni," he reassured her, "everything is going to be alright. Just stay calm, okay?"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4SLzo2AhK
Kobeni nodded in understanding, staying close to Super, finding comfort in his presence amid the chaos.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLoPJyBnt8
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZL712YVgp
Himeno (Impatient): "God, that thing is obnoxious. Aki, can't you use the Fox Devil to swallow this thing?"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISpsCwLuBa
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLz144StYN
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."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjY123kN8KB
Himeno (Undeterred): "The Fox Devil's body is in Kyoto, so that makes sense. Let's see what my ghost can do then."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1F0vuSGMF
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
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfuBhTG9WF
Eternity Devil (In Pain): “That hurt! It hurts! Oh, it hurts! The pain!”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7P5pr1n6JS
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWwBegRPHd
Himeno: "Wh-It got bigger?"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkpEG6PFtl
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."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt87HSyo6ty
Denji (Skeptical): "Yeah right! You probably won't let them go, even if I do die—"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFsDTyZBfW
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."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxc4ZJbLxF
Arai, emerging from his room, presented a bold suggestion.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yViUuII2U
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!"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajTuyqGOtS
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVCTPWQ5TW
Aki (Firmly): "The devil wants Denji dead, which means his death could benefit it in some way. That's why we're not accepting."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxLbwO80qt
Himeno: "I'm with him."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43P1RhEMip
Arai: "But..."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0vZrZwsKs
Power: "I also agree with topknot! Denji shall not die if I have anything to say about it!"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12NjtpLVQ3
Super (Continuing to provide comfort to Kobeni): "Yeah, we're not killing Denji. He stays, and that's that."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXhjJF1TD5
Aki: "Exactly. We're devil hunters. We only kill devils."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjIYdvopTH
Power: "Yay! Shall we wrestle to pass the time?"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYOjBIeGYW
Denji: "What? No—"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeP9QW6RPFf
Before he could object further, Power counted down, "3, 2, 1, BEGIN!"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfXtV226qc
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bc1ADSUEX
Himeno: "Aki, do you have any kind of plan to get us all out of here?"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCoVeIuuxu
Aki: "If what the devil says is true, we can't kill it. But we aren't killing Denji, either."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIX4QPfgfs
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SRuJ1Zk1t
Himeno: "So, is the plan to die, then?"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73yovWXYLf
Aki, with a heavy heart, let out a deep sigh and replied, "If we truly run out of options, I'll use the sword."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡby9puL2kSs
But before Aki could finish his sentence, Himeno appeared beside him, her expression deadly serious.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyy02AvLRc
Himeno: "No, you won't."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2T6YiFcGAy
Denji: "If that thing can get us out of here, shouldn't he use it?"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lDONqCHvr
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."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mboTOH4NP
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIv94NhjF7
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcO5jKnfYzL
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!"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAppXBqfgW
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjUFE7xwNa
Eternity Devil: "Give me Denji's heart!"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLTeGM1AFj
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQSlGUUGUe
Kobeni (Overwhelmed by fear) "Somebody, anybody, kill Denji! Please! Make him dead!"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgakAHYgsBn
Super, his voice filled with urgency, implored, "Kobeni, calm down! Fearing it will make it stronger! Please!"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsG9o7X6WLX
Arai: "We're running out of time! Someone, please, just kill Denji!"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDqe3bd71k
Aki: "I'm using the sword... Are you okay with that, Himeno?"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHhkYEiL8r
Himeno, using her ghost devil, promptly restrained Aki.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNg3PEY8Uh
Denji: "Whoa, lady! What the hell?"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTnxZ2OpbW
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.”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJhlASmpGU
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4fIekFSDB
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."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmCFCofyDe
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HOlbjPwgO
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."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2faTw69EVm
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."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUUScpxvao
Denji enthusiastically agreed: "Ohh! Yeah! That could work!"
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQa8i6EBqLu
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaTMNVjYzI
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSBAGYBiBn
Eternity Devil (In Pain): “Oh! Ow! Ow! Ow! Oh God! The pain! Give up! You’ll never get to my heart!”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIY5mNpFzz
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.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcyiVlmCIK
Days go by and the eternity devil finally gives up. He reveals his heart begins for them to kill him already.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rUCP8bEQy
Eternity Devil (Extremely Weak): “This is my heart.. I give up.. Please.. Kill me..”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXBUpB6gDG
Denji (Chainsaw Form): “What?! Already? I was having fun!”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AxRvsbTBh
Super: “Yeah! It was like being in a kiddie pool!”
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyjW5AcNxZ
Denji slices the eternity devil's heart in half, defeating it right there. In the aftermath of their victorious battle against the Eternity Devil, the scene shifts to everyone exiting the hotel, their expressions marked by collective relief and exhaustion.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOzu5DG3wF
As they stepped out of the building, Denji proudly held up a piece of flesh from the Gun Devil, which he had acquired from their confrontation with the Eternity Devil.
