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.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OSU5zMR6s
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."
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSLZSXcMG1
Denji: "Got it."
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxWNwroaDg
Power: "No problem, topknot."
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjU9xF2izH
Super: "Sure."
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdb6WROPh6
Aki: "Arai, stay close beside me and Himeno," he directed.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bjpGlPoVs
Arai: "Yes, Sir!"
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8NCrqNkap
Aki: "And Kobeni, you'll stay in the back."
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTc1PK1dvI
Kobeni: "Understood."
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUI33qRGy1s
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.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobAwbTRwQz
Denji (Bored): "Ugh... There doesn't seem to be a devil around here. We could be stuck here for hours."
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFYCMwWjjo
Aki (Focused): "Stay focused, Denji. The devil is here somewhere."
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIqaMn9Wf0
The group pressed forward in their pursuit, determined to find their target. Suddenly, Himeno's instincts kicked in, prompting her to command a halt.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4cYxs1g58
Himeno (Instinctive): "Stop,"
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4rJkEFuME
Himeno: "Incoming."
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBeNvG7qok
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.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFQ92NlIGw
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.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHnhx3JYYy
Power (Victorious): "Yeah! Did you all witness the great and almighty Power in action? That pathetic devil froze in mid-air in sheer terror!"
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIlT0cIC4Q
Himeno (Corrective): "Actually, Power, I used the ghost devil to immobilize it. It didn't freeze out of fear or anything like that."
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6j3IB99ej
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.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKf8WLxaec
Arai, his voice tinged with confusion and unease, said, "Isn't that...? Wait a moment."
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFahqIap0z
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.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1tvEkzvxA
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.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsX5Tkcj0M
Himeno: "Hold on, Kobeni! Make double peace signs and stay where you are!" she instructed.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidWwPMLE19
Kobeni, puzzled but willing to cooperate, formed two peace signs with her hands and nodded in affirmation.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqGfDBWJCR
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.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlV3BKi0sql
Aki (Confused): "What in the—"
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMkD85cn6f
But before he could finish, he came to a realization.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ951fluHkgO
Aki: "Kobeni, stand over here for a second," Aki instructed, his voice laced with a hint of urgency.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4YoGbFmnZ
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.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYm85gQhLF
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.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzbCBkSI8V
Aki: "Dammit,"
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXH7tRL1Nn
Denji quickly exited a room across from the room he had entered and relayed his discovery to the group.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9cxCStDPh
Denji: "Guys! These rooms lead to other rooms across the hall!"
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8cjx8s7Ku
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.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xkl5fEwCr
Aki (Concerned): "Has anyone else noticed that all the clocks have been stuck at 8:18 for some time now?"
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1l3mmp1BaB
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.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNs1wmeIdQz
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.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4ncRG3qD2
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."
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRShpFv6qV
Himeno: taking a drag from her cigarette, inquired with a touch of concern, "Aki, is the flesh piece reacting?"
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsWZUyLGq4
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."
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwCVdfIlTK
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."
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSj6M6RunM
Arai, (harboring a glimmer of hope): "But if nobody hears from us for a while, surely they'll send someone to rescue us, right?"
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBuw6E9yNW
Aki: "I doubt it. Even if they did, they'd likely end up in the same predicament as us."
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eanMEpk3U
Denji (increasingly impatient): "Super, quit fooling around. Can't you just teleport us out of here?"
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡme46ElFqaM
Super: "That's not how my ability works. I need to see the power in action to copy and use it."
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVUJWAU3uq
Denji (disbelief): "So you're telling me that in all your time being alive, you've never thought to copy teleportation?!"
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡow7v1HC8Wi
Super (defensively): "No, because I never needed it!"
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsB2YFVMKJB
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.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvmiwq4iBZ
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.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKXYomemUT
Denji: still groggy, inquired, "Have we figured out a way off the 8th floor yet?"
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5OyF7DBxG
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..."
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWUkChOScZ
Denji: growing increasingly worried, interrupted, "Has something happened to Power?"
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPAosjbvdv
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.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvw8HYu0vcD
Denji (Relieved): "She's okay. She's always like this."
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RdT3dvOrL
Himeno, her curiosity piqued, takes a seat on the window sill, lighting a cigarette and inhaling deeply before exhaling a plume of smoke.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoI4FYBFZr2
They spend the next few minutes in casual conversation, with Denji and Power exchanging ideas for activities while Himeno continues to enjoy her cigarette.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBTk2qt23K
The door swings open, and Aki steps into the room.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtfpb4xsWU
Aki: "Himeno, do you have any cigarettes left?"
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBH6Bqptu0
Himeno (exhaling a plume of smoke) "Sorry, this is my last one."
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QEPuxThCc
Aki approaches Himeno, a request in his eyes
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWvN5ND7ap
Aki: “Let me have it please..”
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZo2nxBATnV
Himeno: "If you insist," Himeno concedes, taking the cigarette from her mouth and placing it into Aki's.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gENzZyN08
Denji and Power share a snicker, recognizing the humorous context of this indirect exchange.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6O6cG44fft
Aki (Now smoking): "I've got bad news. That devil Power killed earlier has grown substantially larger."
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6ndaKld8A
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyy7kXMX5qO
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.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0e3JMXuulc
Kobeni (Her voice trembling with terror): "Denji... let it... let it eat you..."
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uzsALCr8i
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.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh68TAaWrWc
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."
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbYtsxZ93q
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.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sxSuqcd9F
Super: "It's alright, Kobeni," he reassured her, "everything is going to be alright. Just stay calm, okay?"
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyx17TNlfHg
Kobeni nodded in understanding, staying close to Super, finding comfort in his presence amid the chaos.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5E5W8uHWw
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.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK32hT7dnKQ
Himeno (Impatient): "God, that thing is obnoxious. Aki, can't you use the Fox Devil to swallow this thing?"
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkeO9TXF15
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.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6mbyfwsm1
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."
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWDPAhex0L
Himeno (Undeterred): "The Fox Devil's body is in Kyoto, so that makes sense. Let's see what my ghost can do then."
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYSFBcbyfr
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
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFdVWkaU2h
Eternity Devil (In Pain): “That hurt! It hurts! Oh, it hurts! The pain!”
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyX6ziNLpYz
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.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sULHWwa0d
Himeno: "Wh-It got bigger?"
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZRnO8JxbR
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."
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrkHQCJ9tr
Denji (Skeptical): "Yeah right! You probably won't let them go, even if I do die—"
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9V0eV1pem
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."
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgOQLnTqoJ
Arai, emerging from his room, presented a bold suggestion.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrtdCD3E08
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!"
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0DCcCNbDu
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCMiNqD5MK
Aki (Firmly): "The devil wants Denji dead, which means his death could benefit it in some way. That's why we're not accepting."
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SGIxQOK0K
Himeno: "I'm with him."
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uiquEU2fx
Arai: "But..."
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpDDHXFnCj
Power: "I also agree with topknot! Denji shall not die if I have anything to say about it!"
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEG2Oz7XUz
Super (Continuing to provide comfort to Kobeni): "Yeah, we're not killing Denji. He stays, and that's that."
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PZi9aRseI
Aki: "Exactly. We're devil hunters. We only kill devils."
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrv30NdVCD1
Power: "Yay! Shall we wrestle to pass the time?"
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlnLAUwSTu
Denji: "What? No—"
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3HJQVAcVE
Before he could object further, Power counted down, "3, 2, 1, BEGIN!"
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9BI4444Xz
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.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwK41wc07pt
Himeno: "Aki, do you have any kind of plan to get us all out of here?"
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwFKzyk9wg
Aki: "If what the devil says is true, we can't kill it. But we aren't killing Denji, either."
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbufHYKMJHg
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOoLxdzZ7X
Himeno: "So, is the plan to die, then?"
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Qvqw2075k
Aki, with a heavy heart, let out a deep sigh and replied, "If we truly run out of options, I'll use the sword."
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXn8RJDUQJd
But before Aki could finish his sentence, Himeno appeared beside him, her expression deadly serious.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuKxksOvGO
Himeno: "No, you won't."
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbemmSgo1l
Denji: "If that thing can get us out of here, shouldn't he use it?"
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdZ0XNOtsU
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."
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvCQJnWFFF
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.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOIrxp2jir
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.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TWQvFmfjo
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!"
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5ISdYOIX4
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.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxse27CyJqR
Eternity Devil: "Give me Denji's heart!"
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqTXLz8T1q
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.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQs5puOAE3K
Kobeni (Overwhelmed by fear) "Somebody, anybody, kill Denji! Please! Make him dead!"
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwFXX72ljd
Super, his voice filled with urgency, implored, "Kobeni, calm down! Fearing it will make it stronger! Please!"
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBU62gjvnWy
Arai: "We're running out of time! Someone, please, just kill Denji!"
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33EI2S1ayn
Aki: "I'm using the sword... Are you okay with that, Himeno?"
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeg6zxyiYN
Himeno, using her ghost devil, promptly restrained Aki.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKLUeWf64D
Denji: "Whoa, lady! What the hell?"
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqOgaGhN8x
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.”
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUFDQewJUc
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.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvMMsiBOL7
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."
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ihXP2uh7N
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.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUO5bsNBMm
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."
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpONe1ETDE0
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."
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPByr7fILMa
Denji enthusiastically agreed: "Ohh! Yeah! That could work!"
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lYJTmYUK8
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.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXAHUggAze
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.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuj9OcCgusO
Eternity Devil (In Pain): “Oh! Ow! Ow! Ow! Oh God! The pain! Give up! You’ll never get to my heart!”
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfIsnZcZqO
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.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMw6oMr5ml
Days go by and the eternity devil finally gives up. He reveals his heart begins for them to kill him already.
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjYVe73RRw
Eternity Devil (Extremely Weak): “This is my heart.. I give up.. Please.. Kill me..”
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82c1Hdt1nu
Denji (Chainsaw Form): “What?! Already? I was having fun!”
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrH0rl9TvE
