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.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEwHqVm64S
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."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9y3ZxyuPSH
Denji: "Got it."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOz0lL1ogeu
Power: "No problem, topknot."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3YYj1ejDm
Super: "Sure."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaY2hcrPHFj
Aki: "Arai, stay close beside me and Himeno," he directed.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjXE3BgUt4
Arai: "Yes, Sir!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnC7ALCgn0B
Aki: "And Kobeni, you'll stay in the back."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEJyiQd4Rt
Kobeni: "Understood."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JmACaJZbq
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.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuSq3vKx32
Denji (Bored): "Ugh... There doesn't seem to be a devil around here. We could be stuck here for hours."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mt56QYLqe
Aki (Focused): "Stay focused, Denji. The devil is here somewhere."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbWBumtkig
The group pressed forward in their pursuit, determined to find their target. Suddenly, Himeno's instincts kicked in, prompting her to command a halt.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvd1XwfEw41
Himeno (Instinctive): "Stop,"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmv9xkU2KQ1
Himeno: "Incoming."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwPxaMr9DG
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.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpviILw5QE
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.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMp6NvB0TCy
Power (Victorious): "Yeah! Did you all witness the great and almighty Power in action? That pathetic devil froze in mid-air in sheer terror!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewwMVEsdOs
Himeno (Corrective): "Actually, Power, I used the ghost devil to immobilize it. It didn't freeze out of fear or anything like that."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AR6oGAOic
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.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1urVSQ94y9
Arai, his voice tinged with confusion and unease, said, "Isn't that...? Wait a moment."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fifSsNGgv
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.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGp4cCkOU4
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.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSdLfECZRN
Himeno: "Hold on, Kobeni! Make double peace signs and stay where you are!" she instructed.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgq3wvtfBOT
Kobeni, puzzled but willing to cooperate, formed two peace signs with her hands and nodded in affirmation.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gUjYSTkpr
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.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMYfbfeBJ6
Aki (Confused): "What in the—"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfOVIFVg9M
But before he could finish, he came to a realization.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPCwkd6FIy
Aki: "Kobeni, stand over here for a second," Aki instructed, his voice laced with a hint of urgency.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRmiiV42qN
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.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgFXnwdO6B
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.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYdoeHwoSq
Aki: "Dammit,"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOHLci5qlZ
Denji quickly exited a room across from the room he had entered and relayed his discovery to the group.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTUZXlrysP
Denji: "Guys! These rooms lead to other rooms across the hall!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrk4wXJ66GM
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.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRKU5xU0Nr
Aki (Concerned): "Has anyone else noticed that all the clocks have been stuck at 8:18 for some time now?"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgLdtiL9XV
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.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsq96d99MDz
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.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2dULbe9Bv
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."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtriG5lxGWQ
Himeno: taking a drag from her cigarette, inquired with a touch of concern, "Aki, is the flesh piece reacting?"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVZAerYeQF
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."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRptmAaLuO
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."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTyqqbFEE6
Arai, (harboring a glimmer of hope): "But if nobody hears from us for a while, surely they'll send someone to rescue us, right?"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrONuMulgFE
Aki: "I doubt it. Even if they did, they'd likely end up in the same predicament as us."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVxg8gKQGm
Denji (increasingly impatient): "Super, quit fooling around. Can't you just teleport us out of here?"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9k7XyLiUH
Super: "That's not how my ability works. I need to see the power in action to copy and use it."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqatadHJ7Z
Denji (disbelief): "So you're telling me that in all your time being alive, you've never thought to copy teleportation?!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4YRn5If81
Super (defensively): "No, because I never needed it!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaRq6t1yvK
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.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEbKl6ZnpF
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.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8CKhIvAJm
Denji: still groggy, inquired, "Have we figured out a way off the 8th floor yet?"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0jldEUCUv
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..."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9Jk8obAYE
Denji: growing increasingly worried, interrupted, "Has something happened to Power?"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9bXFvMWBf
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.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt64tO8CykW
Denji (Relieved): "She's okay. She's always like this."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6eCfEm4kF
Himeno, her curiosity piqued, takes a seat on the window sill, lighting a cigarette and inhaling deeply before exhaling a plume of smoke.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYsnm4Q6ZW
They spend the next few minutes in casual conversation, with Denji and Power exchanging ideas for activities while Himeno continues to enjoy her cigarette.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMtcs0picl
The door swings open, and Aki steps into the room.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDabQP3fwkP
Aki: "Himeno, do you have any cigarettes left?"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHGy62xze6
Himeno (exhaling a plume of smoke) "Sorry, this is my last one."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTORNZTM9in
Aki approaches Himeno, a request in his eyes
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1An3yLYjD
Aki: “Let me have it please..”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3P9bqTqs0
Himeno: "If you insist," Himeno concedes, taking the cigarette from her mouth and placing it into Aki's.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirP9Jgn2Hk
Denji and Power share a snicker, recognizing the humorous context of this indirect exchange.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBd5QOjDv7c
Aki (Now smoking): "I've got bad news. That devil Power killed earlier has grown substantially larger."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XuDchqYTE
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30z88znyU0
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.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4kIU75tR7
Kobeni (Her voice trembling with terror): "Denji... let it... let it eat you..."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuz2NWj5aN
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.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6i18q5a1kA
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."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0obABxAkQ
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.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09lXxGLIYv
Super: "It's alright, Kobeni," he reassured her, "everything is going to be alright. Just stay calm, okay?"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvY3rpsOxsS
Kobeni nodded in understanding, staying close to Super, finding comfort in his presence amid the chaos.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BD9Do9NUI
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.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSfbbTz2r1
Himeno (Impatient): "God, that thing is obnoxious. Aki, can't you use the Fox Devil to swallow this thing?"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fYyM8r4q7
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.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoL4dHhQpu
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."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWUgxW4NMB
Himeno (Undeterred): "The Fox Devil's body is in Kyoto, so that makes sense. Let's see what my ghost can do then."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDhW2hmXsj
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
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHtIhXZYPD
Eternity Devil (In Pain): “That hurt! It hurts! Oh, it hurts! The pain!”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3PIe8cnSt
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.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkd1fQ7pel6
Himeno: "Wh-It got bigger?"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oidqaeVfG
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."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALoszRHqNw
Denji (Skeptical): "Yeah right! You probably won't let them go, even if I do die—"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsG72gaC46
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."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoTkKSjMlD
Arai, emerging from his room, presented a bold suggestion.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9i6bhBHeLn
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!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZQWhH3d2B
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DfoB3OdAQ
Aki (Firmly): "The devil wants Denji dead, which means his death could benefit it in some way. That's why we're not accepting."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7a8nKOouqI
Himeno: "I'm with him."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8f8dMk9Gl
Arai: "But..."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yFE6fBrvR
Power: "I also agree with topknot! Denji shall not die if I have anything to say about it!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0VXHrlfe5
Super (Continuing to provide comfort to Kobeni): "Yeah, we're not killing Denji. He stays, and that's that."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIHiRBZ6pj
Aki: "Exactly. We're devil hunters. We only kill devils."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwm2yTvJywF
Power: "Yay! Shall we wrestle to pass the time?"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEdzuRMT7g
Denji: "What? No—"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKOrGs1j54
Before he could object further, Power counted down, "3, 2, 1, BEGIN!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczYXbhClgi
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.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FfRW0rHAR
Himeno: "Aki, do you have any kind of plan to get us all out of here?"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wpCkws1t6
Aki: "If what the devil says is true, we can't kill it. But we aren't killing Denji, either."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVIqUsrBJy
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wJDhV6ZGK
Himeno: "So, is the plan to die, then?"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3vs014hE5
Aki, with a heavy heart, let out a deep sigh and replied, "If we truly run out of options, I'll use the sword."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuI496mjGW
But before Aki could finish his sentence, Himeno appeared beside him, her expression deadly serious.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCuBpmA0YP
Himeno: "No, you won't."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiGq0k7dL6
Denji: "If that thing can get us out of here, shouldn't he use it?"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qjQ1Ger34
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."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDzZymTZhg
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.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjgXAj6E5z
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.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjInHhYAuv
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!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqijqWd1ZD
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.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjENZ1su0M
Eternity Devil: "Give me Denji's heart!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0W9CGrw9Vv
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.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSKVDtqofx
Kobeni (Overwhelmed by fear) "Somebody, anybody, kill Denji! Please! Make him dead!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSa6bO7LWxn
Super, his voice filled with urgency, implored, "Kobeni, calm down! Fearing it will make it stronger! Please!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKU5pqGnC9
Arai: "We're running out of time! Someone, please, just kill Denji!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTHv8pTxlT
Aki: "I'm using the sword... Are you okay with that, Himeno?"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17Py22GhTd
Himeno, using her ghost devil, promptly restrained Aki.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOH06DBsvwL
Denji: "Whoa, lady! What the hell?"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhR4UoDKLx
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.”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRmSFFBxJF
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.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV08utdjf11
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."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVMm0gHJC5
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.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPtfwhTGyS
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."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5R6Aqw5PP
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."
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdtHc9file
Denji enthusiastically agreed: "Ohh! Yeah! That could work!"
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRB4UNpApoA
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.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQpjw1hGgb
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.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6YjrBKcn3
Eternity Devil (In Pain): “Oh! Ow! Ow! Ow! Oh God! The pain! Give up! You’ll never get to my heart!”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRW7Kx8RrF4
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.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zMMWEpnid
Days go by and the eternity devil finally gives up. He reveals his heart begins for them to kill him already.
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwzVv2qp7U
Eternity Devil (Extremely Weak): “This is my heart.. I give up.. Please.. Kill me..”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KvVYvn5P4
Denji (Chainsaw Form): “What?! Already? I was having fun!”
126Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiq95AEqG9
