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.
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzDzEProY6
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."
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJglfLlD1B
Denji: "Got it."
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKy1fojECqz
Power: "No problem, topknot."
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDGHguMf9i
Super: "Sure."
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ftdrX6MV1
Aki: "Arai, stay close beside me and Himeno," he directed.
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kIV7BPpC3
Arai: "Yes, Sir!"
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJOiI2Ea02
Aki: "And Kobeni, you'll stay in the back."
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8TUfLdbH7
Kobeni: "Understood."
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfCvfP8B7X
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.
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wy1DdUzwb
Denji (Bored): "Ugh... There doesn't seem to be a devil around here. We could be stuck here for hours."
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbMoxJx8S4
Aki (Focused): "Stay focused, Denji. The devil is here somewhere."
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgH6BgsbqxM
The group pressed forward in their pursuit, determined to find their target. Suddenly, Himeno's instincts kicked in, prompting her to command a halt.
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEo0Yfc5JYI
Himeno (Instinctive): "Stop,"
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMybft2SyV
Himeno: "Incoming."
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5x85GJGtG4
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.
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Wt32L5Wmy
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.
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WHw1i8nJu
Power (Victorious): "Yeah! Did you all witness the great and almighty Power in action? That pathetic devil froze in mid-air in sheer terror!"
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23aj18Ovku
Himeno (Corrective): "Actually, Power, I used the ghost devil to immobilize it. It didn't freeze out of fear or anything like that."
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTqI1VQU2l
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.
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmanHlEPio
Arai, his voice tinged with confusion and unease, said, "Isn't that...? Wait a moment."
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIq8LaVgbc
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.
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUlctcfi0D
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.
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqr0WcBdw2
Himeno: "Hold on, Kobeni! Make double peace signs and stay where you are!" she instructed.
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobgRqfaogg
Kobeni, puzzled but willing to cooperate, formed two peace signs with her hands and nodded in affirmation.
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZEWtZiX1X
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.
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEofhpmWpAh
Aki (Confused): "What in the—"
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ioH1zPML0
But before he could finish, he came to a realization.
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0Ez8urNRz
Aki: "Kobeni, stand over here for a second," Aki instructed, his voice laced with a hint of urgency.
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9yGOmiJGq
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.
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpKw7cVGG8
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.
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcq9E4hXLkg
Aki: "Dammit,"
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOi4ZWkxSg
Denji quickly exited a room across from the room he had entered and relayed his discovery to the group.
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIUnk0zEy7
Denji: "Guys! These rooms lead to other rooms across the hall!"
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoshKHob2gl
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.
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QuzfOXhrp
Aki (Concerned): "Has anyone else noticed that all the clocks have been stuck at 8:18 for some time now?"
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qmoM0Ri4g
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.
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡun6pOcMLdZ
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.
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaVVZotozk
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."
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zQeMShXWT
Himeno: taking a drag from her cigarette, inquired with a touch of concern, "Aki, is the flesh piece reacting?"
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RBoJuQHIB
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."
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfnhcUksak
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."
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEeGuW8677
Arai, (harboring a glimmer of hope): "But if nobody hears from us for a while, surely they'll send someone to rescue us, right?"
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEd4u1kjGH
Aki: "I doubt it. Even if they did, they'd likely end up in the same predicament as us."
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKehEJRcmGw
Denji (increasingly impatient): "Super, quit fooling around. Can't you just teleport us out of here?"
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqbzLgiikF
Super: "That's not how my ability works. I need to see the power in action to copy and use it."
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKA3JTnWS8k
Denji (disbelief): "So you're telling me that in all your time being alive, you've never thought to copy teleportation?!"
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1kHEotN9T
Super (defensively): "No, because I never needed it!"
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88H3bowkL9
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.
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsY1FSDOUj
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.
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKQEuIf9p6
Denji: still groggy, inquired, "Have we figured out a way off the 8th floor yet?"
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRc5hk3laHq
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..."
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiORdshfNj
Denji: growing increasingly worried, interrupted, "Has something happened to Power?"
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdW80o7cEd6
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.
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC950ksPkZy
Denji (Relieved): "She's okay. She's always like this."
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpreTq0vPI
Himeno, her curiosity piqued, takes a seat on the window sill, lighting a cigarette and inhaling deeply before exhaling a plume of smoke.
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOED8LjfyM
They spend the next few minutes in casual conversation, with Denji and Power exchanging ideas for activities while Himeno continues to enjoy her cigarette.
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQAwoizjkl
The door swings open, and Aki steps into the room.
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEh4REfHSly
Aki: "Himeno, do you have any cigarettes left?"
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcq2eWDCwA4
Himeno (exhaling a plume of smoke) "Sorry, this is my last one."
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGvEZay5t7
Aki approaches Himeno, a request in his eyes
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZWy5280tv
Aki: “Let me have it please..”
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYbhgqrPjh
Himeno: "If you insist," Himeno concedes, taking the cigarette from her mouth and placing it into Aki's.
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7023Vdyq0
Denji and Power share a snicker, recognizing the humorous context of this indirect exchange.
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOSxa5OH9g
Aki (Now smoking): "I've got bad news. That devil Power killed earlier has grown substantially larger."
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9kAvvSg5s
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj905KHglbC
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.
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LJ0OFAvPA
Kobeni (Her voice trembling with terror): "Denji... let it... let it eat you..."
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXmplwFAP0
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.
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡai6OMMshoR
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."
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfqdiv8jxd
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.
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjx6a95kcT9
Super: "It's alright, Kobeni," he reassured her, "everything is going to be alright. Just stay calm, okay?"
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiDrkDGbFw
Kobeni nodded in understanding, staying close to Super, finding comfort in his presence amid the chaos.
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkulh6etS5
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.
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sexyBkjqv
Himeno (Impatient): "God, that thing is obnoxious. Aki, can't you use the Fox Devil to swallow this thing?"
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPE2e2uLr1w
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.
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvbQdqaAPw
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."
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwcIBb38Yz
Himeno (Undeterred): "The Fox Devil's body is in Kyoto, so that makes sense. Let's see what my ghost can do then."
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfURK6K7vS
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
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8rUzZ4Qdh
Eternity Devil (In Pain): “That hurt! It hurts! Oh, it hurts! The pain!”
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprzzbihF66
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.
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrajtyky8Q
Himeno: "Wh-It got bigger?"
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TDidQeDcm
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."
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinVpjJmOAW
Denji (Skeptical): "Yeah right! You probably won't let them go, even if I do die—"
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHiaXTqZt1
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."
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHgwnIwB0Q
Arai, emerging from his room, presented a bold suggestion.
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGV8PLhb3li
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!"
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb394hzqcIx
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCV6ArWqH1o
Aki (Firmly): "The devil wants Denji dead, which means his death could benefit it in some way. That's why we're not accepting."
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbhN0xsztV
Himeno: "I'm with him."
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0qdYvuiES
Arai: "But..."
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGnRcDgFn0
Power: "I also agree with topknot! Denji shall not die if I have anything to say about it!"
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiuRVsvAdw
Super (Continuing to provide comfort to Kobeni): "Yeah, we're not killing Denji. He stays, and that's that."
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMZJMbzyxC
Aki: "Exactly. We're devil hunters. We only kill devils."
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAM7jtYYzbh
Power: "Yay! Shall we wrestle to pass the time?"
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMptmR0NsR
Denji: "What? No—"
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeqK32oWyK
Before he could object further, Power counted down, "3, 2, 1, BEGIN!"
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NPMIpUCUZ
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.
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzqhaYtDRe
Himeno: "Aki, do you have any kind of plan to get us all out of here?"
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihk0kWEp7x
Aki: "If what the devil says is true, we can't kill it. But we aren't killing Denji, either."
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEy45TQZ8pG
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlRURy8m27
Himeno: "So, is the plan to die, then?"
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHfckMcPHk
Aki, with a heavy heart, let out a deep sigh and replied, "If we truly run out of options, I'll use the sword."
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu89tJZoE2e
But before Aki could finish his sentence, Himeno appeared beside him, her expression deadly serious.
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqp1Sq5yN9
Himeno: "No, you won't."
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3CmtPQVz6
Denji: "If that thing can get us out of here, shouldn't he use it?"
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20J2TTCCbs
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."
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0UaurtCdw
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.
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQ8ytJeJlJ
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.
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEHwDqFVju
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!"
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ThfdKu6Yy
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.
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QBfV4s17f
Eternity Devil: "Give me Denji's heart!"
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQ98mLHl8I
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.
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5h0IdlU4CW
Kobeni (Overwhelmed by fear) "Somebody, anybody, kill Denji! Please! Make him dead!"
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiL3fPsdSkg
Super, his voice filled with urgency, implored, "Kobeni, calm down! Fearing it will make it stronger! Please!"
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVhvPDjIe6
Arai: "We're running out of time! Someone, please, just kill Denji!"
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirZ2EVqdAi
Aki: "I'm using the sword... Are you okay with that, Himeno?"
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQ8oVSfefh
Himeno, using her ghost devil, promptly restrained Aki.
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPz3RiZ0H8
Denji: "Whoa, lady! What the hell?"
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoPQBkSvbh
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.”
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPBteKslj3
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.
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDemUAIFHtt
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."
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmY9sInPVFR
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.
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDf4lj0fUq6
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."
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswHTOi14g2
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."
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1P9PtYwtm2
Denji enthusiastically agreed: "Ohh! Yeah! That could work!"
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMblxVLGh1
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.
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVNEEixlej
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.
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyMf6C5b2Q
Eternity Devil (In Pain): “Oh! Ow! Ow! Ow! Oh God! The pain! Give up! You’ll never get to my heart!”
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqRisYwPcg
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.
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWc6wvabLoe
Days go by and the eternity devil finally gives up. He reveals his heart begins for them to kill him already.
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGeU8Qh0vr
Eternity Devil (Extremely Weak): “This is my heart.. I give up.. Please.. Kill me..”
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEOprFAqY9
Denji (Chainsaw Form): “What?! Already? I was having fun!”
209Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEg5leyNGl
