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."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5W5cpY7oK
Denji: "Got it."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHHSn5D31W
Power: "No problem, topknot."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3RO2tzE2O
Super: "Sure."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfwwhbaqPm
Aki: "Arai, stay close beside me and Himeno," he directed.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfOv474eq9
Arai: "Yes, Sir!"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrxoi6Swsh
Aki: "And Kobeni, you'll stay in the back."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmi4rc1bm1m
Kobeni: "Understood."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iiE0kapO2
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.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNuCelNisu
Denji (Bored): "Ugh... There doesn't seem to be a devil around here. We could be stuck here for hours."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoFd4oZFX6
Aki (Focused): "Stay focused, Denji. The devil is here somewhere."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJKfeMCV7O
The group pressed forward in their pursuit, determined to find their target. Suddenly, Himeno's instincts kicked in, prompting her to command a halt.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalR52c97Ai
Himeno (Instinctive): "Stop,"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUA6dGKLKkq
Himeno: "Incoming."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95Kz57dBCN
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.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XU9xAaI2r
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.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4cHRMPR0b
Power (Victorious): "Yeah! Did you all witness the great and almighty Power in action? That pathetic devil froze in mid-air in sheer terror!"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgj2usp2E5
Himeno (Corrective): "Actually, Power, I used the ghost devil to immobilize it. It didn't freeze out of fear or anything like that."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡci9XpKSBOS
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.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnGY2o3nqK
Arai, his voice tinged with confusion and unease, said, "Isn't that...? Wait a moment."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADWfoQXSer
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.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDbuUEx8rk
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.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxaYHw927s
Himeno: "Hold on, Kobeni! Make double peace signs and stay where you are!" she instructed.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHKkfnm75I
Kobeni, puzzled but willing to cooperate, formed two peace signs with her hands and nodded in affirmation.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6z60yQHjh
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.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlwfbnYxCy
Aki (Confused): "What in the—"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIuDt3ZNTj
But before he could finish, he came to a realization.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugOQ1RqCiy
Aki: "Kobeni, stand over here for a second," Aki instructed, his voice laced with a hint of urgency.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcXLSxdg3N
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.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2ADgEfILZ
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.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcYDoGkjdj
Aki: "Dammit,"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7NkoMluLz
Denji quickly exited a room across from the room he had entered and relayed his discovery to the group.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQx6s2EfHLn
Denji: "Guys! These rooms lead to other rooms across the hall!"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpHGyFDzxx
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.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemk6Er04Ry
Aki (Concerned): "Has anyone else noticed that all the clocks have been stuck at 8:18 for some time now?"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfnFeUe37R
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.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡds9K9xsc3V
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.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTLDi6RYgl
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."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAQZDYixGm
Himeno: taking a drag from her cigarette, inquired with a touch of concern, "Aki, is the flesh piece reacting?"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNy7rZxiKxG
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."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwfqAZPNWz
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."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJgT7BhxxS
Arai, (harboring a glimmer of hope): "But if nobody hears from us for a while, surely they'll send someone to rescue us, right?"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJJPwB4ijj
Aki: "I doubt it. Even if they did, they'd likely end up in the same predicament as us."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPdv6WbR2t
Denji (increasingly impatient): "Super, quit fooling around. Can't you just teleport us out of here?"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2d8lQJe2X
Super: "That's not how my ability works. I need to see the power in action to copy and use it."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMc3avLwsy
Denji (disbelief): "So you're telling me that in all your time being alive, you've never thought to copy teleportation?!"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wBTzb5Bnz
Super (defensively): "No, because I never needed it!"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ERsueewGr
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.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XXku7O9qW
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.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbY8qjTsdZ
Denji: still groggy, inquired, "Have we figured out a way off the 8th floor yet?"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAjxV79iVB
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..."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQt9X6yJjQ
Denji: growing increasingly worried, interrupted, "Has something happened to Power?"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiepa8OluBp
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.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29KDcmxqyZ
Denji (Relieved): "She's okay. She's always like this."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78wJDLAiwE
Himeno, her curiosity piqued, takes a seat on the window sill, lighting a cigarette and inhaling deeply before exhaling a plume of smoke.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAklDZZSjG
They spend the next few minutes in casual conversation, with Denji and Power exchanging ideas for activities while Himeno continues to enjoy her cigarette.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9U7wfYwwY3
The door swings open, and Aki steps into the room.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgy8jsEyuD
Aki: "Himeno, do you have any cigarettes left?"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCVzibIQLS
Himeno (exhaling a plume of smoke) "Sorry, this is my last one."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoWvnZy01b
Aki approaches Himeno, a request in his eyes
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpf65ofgPa
Aki: “Let me have it please..”
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrULTcEXqGM
Himeno: "If you insist," Himeno concedes, taking the cigarette from her mouth and placing it into Aki's.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBunLDHPQy4
Denji and Power share a snicker, recognizing the humorous context of this indirect exchange.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsOxwQHuh4
Aki (Now smoking): "I've got bad news. That devil Power killed earlier has grown substantially larger."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTeuWCYvUo
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFAUeL8EGv
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.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5UrOYfcuY
Kobeni (Her voice trembling with terror): "Denji... let it... let it eat you..."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8znrJO81xu
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.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16EvzqO73G
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."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMUmUp8NuZ
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.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGlL97DyfT
Super: "It's alright, Kobeni," he reassured her, "everything is going to be alright. Just stay calm, okay?"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6i377BqXLW
Kobeni nodded in understanding, staying close to Super, finding comfort in his presence amid the chaos.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4jqt3Mbvt
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.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcubIKGPi6
Himeno (Impatient): "God, that thing is obnoxious. Aki, can't you use the Fox Devil to swallow this thing?"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1S5Bhipap
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.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhsgJ24h74
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."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XHCZYYENR
Himeno (Undeterred): "The Fox Devil's body is in Kyoto, so that makes sense. Let's see what my ghost can do then."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0hzSciM3I
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
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2DPd77GXy
Eternity Devil (In Pain): “That hurt! It hurts! Oh, it hurts! The pain!”
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESgrXa6RSf
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.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1bzQc2rqI
Himeno: "Wh-It got bigger?"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFLwumXkpG
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."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXKfjqDz0O
Denji (Skeptical): "Yeah right! You probably won't let them go, even if I do die—"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZ0HSKFKLJ
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."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2APz0bOt2
Arai, emerging from his room, presented a bold suggestion.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZxVnP5nbJ
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!"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyF6BIIGUP
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9hUW1qRSm
Aki (Firmly): "The devil wants Denji dead, which means his death could benefit it in some way. That's why we're not accepting."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkMnnQ4hxt
Himeno: "I'm with him."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjd1NeeK9uK
Arai: "But..."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3OqAnSw84
Power: "I also agree with topknot! Denji shall not die if I have anything to say about it!"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2mGmUA9rz
Super (Continuing to provide comfort to Kobeni): "Yeah, we're not killing Denji. He stays, and that's that."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iRBrSeBMi
Aki: "Exactly. We're devil hunters. We only kill devils."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYhnvjUQhn
Power: "Yay! Shall we wrestle to pass the time?"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTUqxxofns
Denji: "What? No—"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLJtLoKsSK
Before he could object further, Power counted down, "3, 2, 1, BEGIN!"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyOIizCE8V
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.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjM3ILdMJMu
Himeno: "Aki, do you have any kind of plan to get us all out of here?"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4bkvJ6aml
Aki: "If what the devil says is true, we can't kill it. But we aren't killing Denji, either."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLTmOl2oaf
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFi9lbTdyc
Himeno: "So, is the plan to die, then?"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiGKNKml0E
Aki, with a heavy heart, let out a deep sigh and replied, "If we truly run out of options, I'll use the sword."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUQWs3hDoG
But before Aki could finish his sentence, Himeno appeared beside him, her expression deadly serious.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡff7NUd7f7C
Himeno: "No, you won't."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MyWXxvw3H
Denji: "If that thing can get us out of here, shouldn't he use it?"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AYIOvqjt5
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."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTPrSGqg6i
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.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ738ACl0Iz2
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.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4I6P5IoSn
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!"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFy8k2Zt3IO
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.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhvjdR1Aqd
Eternity Devil: "Give me Denji's heart!"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOe9mVQuDR
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.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKe4yxHFSn
Kobeni (Overwhelmed by fear) "Somebody, anybody, kill Denji! Please! Make him dead!"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaxjci8AkZ
Super, his voice filled with urgency, implored, "Kobeni, calm down! Fearing it will make it stronger! Please!"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiO1GoeLYTK
Arai: "We're running out of time! Someone, please, just kill Denji!"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcU83QRh6C
Aki: "I'm using the sword... Are you okay with that, Himeno?"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmS19pVSJf
Himeno, using her ghost devil, promptly restrained Aki.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8M0GsyEMHF
Denji: "Whoa, lady! What the hell?"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjvC6iHwg8
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.”
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxCbjq8STx
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.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHx6BkVr8X
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."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkZhBcspu1
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.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wmlTMxp0D
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."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcposmxzPx
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."
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4wEjcfGAQ
Denji enthusiastically agreed: "Ohh! Yeah! That could work!"
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKgnTZONRR
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.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYeF3b87My
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.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8HAQo8Dh1
Eternity Devil (In Pain): “Oh! Ow! Ow! Ow! Oh God! The pain! Give up! You’ll never get to my heart!”
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHEZyqRKlv
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.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8HtJlYXEd
Days go by and the eternity devil finally gives up. He reveals his heart begins for them to kill him already.
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHiywg9iUU
Eternity Devil (Extremely Weak): “This is my heart.. I give up.. Please.. Kill me..”
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4Pa3GQvQl
Denji (Chainsaw Form): “What?! Already? I was having fun!”
171Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7pnlBjYhx
