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."
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOFve6IMJD
Denji: "Got it."
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7Mo3R6CK2
Power: "No problem, topknot."
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSDaw3p5yU
Super: "Sure."
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxamhBZTKuV
Aki: "Arai, stay close beside me and Himeno," he directed.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBcuT04jWS
Arai: "Yes, Sir!"
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtMs1z3ika
Aki: "And Kobeni, you'll stay in the back."
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRUXYOhjFX
Kobeni: "Understood."
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6STB5sRiD
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.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRIawjkvg8
Denji (Bored): "Ugh... There doesn't seem to be a devil around here. We could be stuck here for hours."
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQTd4vgcqk
Aki (Focused): "Stay focused, Denji. The devil is here somewhere."
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU13bEJxf4X
The group pressed forward in their pursuit, determined to find their target. Suddenly, Himeno's instincts kicked in, prompting her to command a halt.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4X45P92zgC
Himeno (Instinctive): "Stop,"
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeLBAG5BmF
Himeno: "Incoming."
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepah44wF7J
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.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5CKSFQd5e
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.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbv0izSrGUk
Power (Victorious): "Yeah! Did you all witness the great and almighty Power in action? That pathetic devil froze in mid-air in sheer terror!"
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjNQODFVbO
Himeno (Corrective): "Actually, Power, I used the ghost devil to immobilize it. It didn't freeze out of fear or anything like that."
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LIW9XuXoa
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.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgu719wzzM
Arai, his voice tinged with confusion and unease, said, "Isn't that...? Wait a moment."
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bTS7mYRq4
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.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyCxZ8cxI1
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.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKOxtd8a2r
Himeno: "Hold on, Kobeni! Make double peace signs and stay where you are!" she instructed.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxYL1RmJ0w
Kobeni, puzzled but willing to cooperate, formed two peace signs with her hands and nodded in affirmation.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIzCsPeTJW
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.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiqJnzU31i
Aki (Confused): "What in the—"
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kTsvhoZO3
But before he could finish, he came to a realization.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkN0cTQQKF4
Aki: "Kobeni, stand over here for a second," Aki instructed, his voice laced with a hint of urgency.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGaNKbXOkt
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.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJfe4Pf5fa
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.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPxdYAn7VT
Aki: "Dammit,"
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqfwNoqRtj
Denji quickly exited a room across from the room he had entered and relayed his discovery to the group.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0Z7zLRHhB
Denji: "Guys! These rooms lead to other rooms across the hall!"
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8fK0Tpci6
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.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jYwTsqp4e
Aki (Concerned): "Has anyone else noticed that all the clocks have been stuck at 8:18 for some time now?"
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtx074JuVSx
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.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7OJCwNXfY
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.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmESUE67pE
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."
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84r77JcoHR
Himeno: taking a drag from her cigarette, inquired with a touch of concern, "Aki, is the flesh piece reacting?"
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4S184KtBl
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."
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZFk7eiktv
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."
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrbQVjtcIF
Arai, (harboring a glimmer of hope): "But if nobody hears from us for a while, surely they'll send someone to rescue us, right?"
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJsxfvWMqq
Aki: "I doubt it. Even if they did, they'd likely end up in the same predicament as us."
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLTTrCJKg7
Denji (increasingly impatient): "Super, quit fooling around. Can't you just teleport us out of here?"
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknusSqhpXi
Super: "That's not how my ability works. I need to see the power in action to copy and use it."
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvREEDzBV6u
Denji (disbelief): "So you're telling me that in all your time being alive, you've never thought to copy teleportation?!"
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKjlNjnJnM
Super (defensively): "No, because I never needed it!"
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYKziRxdUE
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.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhVwEDyqpB
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.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpu8KMQt6p
Denji: still groggy, inquired, "Have we figured out a way off the 8th floor yet?"
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxdAWkQyOw
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..."
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EOcWhNLGy
Denji: growing increasingly worried, interrupted, "Has something happened to Power?"
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvVNJwi2O7
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.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkguh5hMGM
Denji (Relieved): "She's okay. She's always like this."
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZXzmKvRIO
Himeno, her curiosity piqued, takes a seat on the window sill, lighting a cigarette and inhaling deeply before exhaling a plume of smoke.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoPv5WEvmY
They spend the next few minutes in casual conversation, with Denji and Power exchanging ideas for activities while Himeno continues to enjoy her cigarette.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR73hbxQ594
The door swings open, and Aki steps into the room.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSG4eHFfPd
Aki: "Himeno, do you have any cigarettes left?"
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEqCjHjQP5
Himeno (exhaling a plume of smoke) "Sorry, this is my last one."
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDEGZXlUSb
Aki approaches Himeno, a request in his eyes
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHCwKJk2eK
Aki: “Let me have it please..”
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDG24vt4Hz
Himeno: "If you insist," Himeno concedes, taking the cigarette from her mouth and placing it into Aki's.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJzI1EksAb
Denji and Power share a snicker, recognizing the humorous context of this indirect exchange.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpAUys1M0G
Aki (Now smoking): "I've got bad news. That devil Power killed earlier has grown substantially larger."
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdvv9rsQTH
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmtaehymAs
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.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWHuhvjqeR
Kobeni (Her voice trembling with terror): "Denji... let it... let it eat you..."
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGKiRHENT5
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.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAJzijKBAM
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."
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOO3x4hYPih
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.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgh1Y81tqVj
Super: "It's alright, Kobeni," he reassured her, "everything is going to be alright. Just stay calm, okay?"
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrLinNn4AL
Kobeni nodded in understanding, staying close to Super, finding comfort in his presence amid the chaos.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGL9ak6Axi
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.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5b42BdMKZ
Himeno (Impatient): "God, that thing is obnoxious. Aki, can't you use the Fox Devil to swallow this thing?"
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddXaig1BEj
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.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dRVwHrHcd
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."
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqT2bhXdGZQ
Himeno (Undeterred): "The Fox Devil's body is in Kyoto, so that makes sense. Let's see what my ghost can do then."
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrySxKJH7E
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
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPx9ULPveUV
Eternity Devil (In Pain): “That hurt! It hurts! Oh, it hurts! The pain!”
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnpYcFVaHE
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.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4CAVqx06O
Himeno: "Wh-It got bigger?"
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMte691hwC
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."
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF19ZW27XVt
Denji (Skeptical): "Yeah right! You probably won't let them go, even if I do die—"
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IJB6vnHKA
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."
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw96QowbpY3
Arai, emerging from his room, presented a bold suggestion.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SFG4Z8DTO
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!"
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77D6oytykU
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoObcU2xMg
Aki (Firmly): "The devil wants Denji dead, which means his death could benefit it in some way. That's why we're not accepting."
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUu5Wg8sLuZ
Himeno: "I'm with him."
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEjFUnVVxy
Arai: "But..."
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JI8WECpyl
Power: "I also agree with topknot! Denji shall not die if I have anything to say about it!"
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcD28MLOOt6
Super (Continuing to provide comfort to Kobeni): "Yeah, we're not killing Denji. He stays, and that's that."
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFCb5IAd2o
Aki: "Exactly. We're devil hunters. We only kill devils."
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pFNdbjrIp
Power: "Yay! Shall we wrestle to pass the time?"
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuprF5HNoIj
Denji: "What? No—"
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvEbfodWzk
Before he could object further, Power counted down, "3, 2, 1, BEGIN!"
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQj3CrZmJZ4
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.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKwQdNltlA
Himeno: "Aki, do you have any kind of plan to get us all out of here?"
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwn0Ktjj73
Aki: "If what the devil says is true, we can't kill it. But we aren't killing Denji, either."
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiIVg1S0N5
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikznFlZIRB
Himeno: "So, is the plan to die, then?"
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYmvVdO9Sl
Aki, with a heavy heart, let out a deep sigh and replied, "If we truly run out of options, I'll use the sword."
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ44axzP59K
But before Aki could finish his sentence, Himeno appeared beside him, her expression deadly serious.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeg4GywZjKq
Himeno: "No, you won't."
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpGOPxdFpb
Denji: "If that thing can get us out of here, shouldn't he use it?"
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWsZG6Z2dd
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."
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNQEPijZMt
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.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZAVva0mh2
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.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXKwuD8ThU
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!"
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qKLaMhgeh
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.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ECaGCsnXI
Eternity Devil: "Give me Denji's heart!"
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41v8VXJ2mj
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.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEb3hermXf
Kobeni (Overwhelmed by fear) "Somebody, anybody, kill Denji! Please! Make him dead!"
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQq07Ip8jIV
Super, his voice filled with urgency, implored, "Kobeni, calm down! Fearing it will make it stronger! Please!"
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5odbC1sPaU
Arai: "We're running out of time! Someone, please, just kill Denji!"
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0AX74EcJ8
Aki: "I'm using the sword... Are you okay with that, Himeno?"
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwyKnVseOt
Himeno, using her ghost devil, promptly restrained Aki.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfEDW7CBXB
Denji: "Whoa, lady! What the hell?"
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGj9qzUNC3B
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.”
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQrvn6b2Uc
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.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmOVUBDiN7
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."
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTT5QUEo2tX
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.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBC4tOaOVD
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."
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3QQERpvIM
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."
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKbznBtwEh
Denji enthusiastically agreed: "Ohh! Yeah! That could work!"
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiG0LCwYBIq
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.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkgL7pkMsP
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.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHccLfmVgQr
Eternity Devil (In Pain): “Oh! Ow! Ow! Ow! Oh God! The pain! Give up! You’ll never get to my heart!”
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriO1ONm5Z5
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.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44WFCQrXZC
Days go by and the eternity devil finally gives up. He reveals his heart begins for them to kill him already.
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VDmjkFGFG
Eternity Devil (Extremely Weak): “This is my heart.. I give up.. Please.. Kill me..”
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhw8TGBQVCl
Denji (Chainsaw Form): “What?! Already? I was having fun!”
178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ACfTp3ga0
Super: “Yeah! It was like being in a kiddie pool!”
