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."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslAdaS18Zm
Denji: "Got it."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMQ8mruUai
Power: "No problem, topknot."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfTtjKobcp
Super: "Sure."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyItbjvUpbb
Aki: "Arai, stay close beside me and Himeno," he directed.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdzb63hqbe
Arai: "Yes, Sir!"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhSDFOrryk
Aki: "And Kobeni, you'll stay in the back."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKP3GW9T41I
Kobeni: "Understood."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMlovvLMfg
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHv4pzFmvgH
Denji (Bored): "Ugh... There doesn't seem to be a devil around here. We could be stuck here for hours."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6GIptNZXY
Aki (Focused): "Stay focused, Denji. The devil is here somewhere."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVJ9M5Y4n2
The group pressed forward in their pursuit, determined to find their target. Suddenly, Himeno's instincts kicked in, prompting her to command a halt.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KuDTCxfp7
Himeno (Instinctive): "Stop,"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqQuXWVJo7
Himeno: "Incoming."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oxd48DadN
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvK5cG0w3K
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfP4R0m9IOr
Power (Victorious): "Yeah! Did you all witness the great and almighty Power in action? That pathetic devil froze in mid-air in sheer terror!"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAHp7Etfqz
Himeno (Corrective): "Actually, Power, I used the ghost devil to immobilize it. It didn't freeze out of fear or anything like that."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtsNTEaCul
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4F4fljPZh
Arai, his voice tinged with confusion and unease, said, "Isn't that...? Wait a moment."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvwKJ5JgSZ
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZT7dWjdWOF
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVshrfNGGt
Himeno: "Hold on, Kobeni! Make double peace signs and stay where you are!" she instructed.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboRywic4Gv
Kobeni, puzzled but willing to cooperate, formed two peace signs with her hands and nodded in affirmation.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxJY8i8bVI
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleo1LuwKkP
Aki (Confused): "What in the—"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqTtcZo5Ts
But before he could finish, he came to a realization.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3A7hgdFfq
Aki: "Kobeni, stand over here for a second," Aki instructed, his voice laced with a hint of urgency.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH70zqCFp0c
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwJoM7Vtct
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxdhmWUFdc
Aki: "Dammit,"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJ2j5i3dc4
Denji quickly exited a room across from the room he had entered and relayed his discovery to the group.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡja80t8lMqQ
Denji: "Guys! These rooms lead to other rooms across the hall!"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdl63StXcve
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0LA6AozfR
Aki (Concerned): "Has anyone else noticed that all the clocks have been stuck at 8:18 for some time now?"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41acvCxf7F
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIggxwgdMI
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvv5G2H60Z0
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."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiUKjO3BLo
Himeno: taking a drag from her cigarette, inquired with a touch of concern, "Aki, is the flesh piece reacting?"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVTZWGE9Wl
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."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZpv5BFZgG
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."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7pvMWFBvM
Arai, (harboring a glimmer of hope): "But if nobody hears from us for a while, surely they'll send someone to rescue us, right?"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqNrs7bD17
Aki: "I doubt it. Even if they did, they'd likely end up in the same predicament as us."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlsM4qgmVt
Denji (increasingly impatient): "Super, quit fooling around. Can't you just teleport us out of here?"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZW1lUsI39D
Super: "That's not how my ability works. I need to see the power in action to copy and use it."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTp5UdaJvSU
Denji (disbelief): "So you're telling me that in all your time being alive, you've never thought to copy teleportation?!"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Yr4tCj9S6
Super (defensively): "No, because I never needed it!"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDIHOEDmcx
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbK8WwOmVa
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmhyjElQjJ
Denji: still groggy, inquired, "Have we figured out a way off the 8th floor yet?"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLrhOMpTmg
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..."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkTYFdotmH
Denji: growing increasingly worried, interrupted, "Has something happened to Power?"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCmXvMiUMl
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xUGtTkv5z
Denji (Relieved): "She's okay. She's always like this."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXYPEly4Ti
Himeno, her curiosity piqued, takes a seat on the window sill, lighting a cigarette and inhaling deeply before exhaling a plume of smoke.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bBbyO7z4U
They spend the next few minutes in casual conversation, with Denji and Power exchanging ideas for activities while Himeno continues to enjoy her cigarette.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uxCPcQbeL
The door swings open, and Aki steps into the room.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvT5w9dFOLd
Aki: "Himeno, do you have any cigarettes left?"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL384IY0zWw
Himeno (exhaling a plume of smoke) "Sorry, this is my last one."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3eHvqTx7k
Aki approaches Himeno, a request in his eyes
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNo1XQubJh
Aki: “Let me have it please..”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCr9bcs47B
Himeno: "If you insist," Himeno concedes, taking the cigarette from her mouth and placing it into Aki's.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Y1gRjS7o5
Denji and Power share a snicker, recognizing the humorous context of this indirect exchange.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUzhnhGOOp
Aki (Now smoking): "I've got bad news. That devil Power killed earlier has grown substantially larger."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZbV4MGxsk
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWgAYafcZa
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8rtzQAqaV
Kobeni (Her voice trembling with terror): "Denji... let it... let it eat you..."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bCiLh9jGC
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡty1eIZ2fm2
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."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdS8fYoCm7
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBUjckq6we
Super: "It's alright, Kobeni," he reassured her, "everything is going to be alright. Just stay calm, okay?"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCdpg0aNDX
Kobeni nodded in understanding, staying close to Super, finding comfort in his presence amid the chaos.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyBTSfEBzm
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uLAr4u1FG
Himeno (Impatient): "God, that thing is obnoxious. Aki, can't you use the Fox Devil to swallow this thing?"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkasmM7bA2
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TzCYgKJHg
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."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAu5Lx2vYk4
Himeno (Undeterred): "The Fox Devil's body is in Kyoto, so that makes sense. Let's see what my ghost can do then."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXH7tYoXlV
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
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMrQ73lHRp
Eternity Devil (In Pain): “That hurt! It hurts! Oh, it hurts! The pain!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxdhgqskna
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0s5Z1SjHea
Himeno: "Wh-It got bigger?"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppYDXV4czl
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."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRgZI1EDyy
Denji (Skeptical): "Yeah right! You probably won't let them go, even if I do die—"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6ER4BfDCZ
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."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhePWUaQ7k5
Arai, emerging from his room, presented a bold suggestion.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3Ubkeztq0
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!"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugzzSbnXuU
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38R1TcWIB3
Aki (Firmly): "The devil wants Denji dead, which means his death could benefit it in some way. That's why we're not accepting."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhuzHKYU4M
Himeno: "I'm with him."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYquIzUJL8j
Arai: "But..."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonDGpL0KvS
Power: "I also agree with topknot! Denji shall not die if I have anything to say about it!"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnF3HotVOK
Super (Continuing to provide comfort to Kobeni): "Yeah, we're not killing Denji. He stays, and that's that."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7FCVRRjCq
Aki: "Exactly. We're devil hunters. We only kill devils."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9viN2ER4g
Power: "Yay! Shall we wrestle to pass the time?"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhn42tEgXWR
Denji: "What? No—"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFlCDn6BrP
Before he could object further, Power counted down, "3, 2, 1, BEGIN!"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xGgtDWiSW
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxhIaGybPE
Himeno: "Aki, do you have any kind of plan to get us all out of here?"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtV9PlO9ny
Aki: "If what the devil says is true, we can't kill it. But we aren't killing Denji, either."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChFwAxxZvc
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHtz8Abgmq
Himeno: "So, is the plan to die, then?"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjqRi5k7l8
Aki, with a heavy heart, let out a deep sigh and replied, "If we truly run out of options, I'll use the sword."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKI9yfhLGrB
But before Aki could finish his sentence, Himeno appeared beside him, her expression deadly serious.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhM0UbtkK7
Himeno: "No, you won't."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SIIhuJOEf
Denji: "If that thing can get us out of here, shouldn't he use it?"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrCF7lU4WE
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."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNeJZEPVzg
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaFCmYpwfU
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxEUqc1kr3
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!"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡverjQi0GOU
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5ff1nPuWk
Eternity Devil: "Give me Denji's heart!"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPG5vdFghw
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBUNHKzlns
Kobeni (Overwhelmed by fear) "Somebody, anybody, kill Denji! Please! Make him dead!"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13hgee7CED
Super, his voice filled with urgency, implored, "Kobeni, calm down! Fearing it will make it stronger! Please!"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyS4uVcKHXi
Arai: "We're running out of time! Someone, please, just kill Denji!"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoDj7IiHGm
Aki: "I'm using the sword... Are you okay with that, Himeno?"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrraWnmSDpx
Himeno, using her ghost devil, promptly restrained Aki.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOpKcWwrcc
Denji: "Whoa, lady! What the hell?"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoZ0KDSPT5
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.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxACO8BYjf
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRdimYoVfU
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."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAGV6f7ijQ
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTjzWeAcx8
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."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyri0B72Gjl
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."
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGq6tBMAOl
Denji enthusiastically agreed: "Ohh! Yeah! That could work!"
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡur1atCv90a
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlovY7e3VXT
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmTUm8B44a
Eternity Devil (In Pain): “Oh! Ow! Ow! Ow! Oh God! The pain! Give up! You’ll never get to my heart!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqfQFYXyLt
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.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KTAutLD0E
Days go by and the eternity devil finally gives up. He reveals his heart begins for them to kill him already.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡID99kPztLX
Eternity Devil (Extremely Weak): “This is my heart.. I give up.. Please.. Kill me..”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVs1Ogd4FX
Denji (Chainsaw Form): “What?! Already? I was having fun!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmuKyk909F
