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.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Rweggbd24
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."
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGxJ4iUh7C
Denji: "Got it."
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzw25n7e4Bi
Power: "No problem, topknot."
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd24tqduWME
Super: "Sure."
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7f3h7a56J
Aki: "Arai, stay close beside me and Himeno," he directed.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgG7F9aLWJg
Arai: "Yes, Sir!"
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhvmc6lYjK
Aki: "And Kobeni, you'll stay in the back."
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9elv8rIbg2
Kobeni: "Understood."
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrR0cuilc7
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.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekofhtKz4W
Denji (Bored): "Ugh... There doesn't seem to be a devil around here. We could be stuck here for hours."
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduMu710Szy
Aki (Focused): "Stay focused, Denji. The devil is here somewhere."
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAun6ExscUb
The group pressed forward in their pursuit, determined to find their target. Suddenly, Himeno's instincts kicked in, prompting her to command a halt.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhtNL1VhZP
Himeno (Instinctive): "Stop,"
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAdcWUlasB
Himeno: "Incoming."
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOZG65ceL5
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.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4n9JpjMfT0
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.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0PGET7Qwc
Power (Victorious): "Yeah! Did you all witness the great and almighty Power in action? That pathetic devil froze in mid-air in sheer terror!"
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiQXwA3V0N
Himeno (Corrective): "Actually, Power, I used the ghost devil to immobilize it. It didn't freeze out of fear or anything like that."
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQcJFXwoHn
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.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oOYPe6Yst
Arai, his voice tinged with confusion and unease, said, "Isn't that...? Wait a moment."
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrNONnAKYz
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.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReJpyXmCH1
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.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAD4LlEvvRR
Himeno: "Hold on, Kobeni! Make double peace signs and stay where you are!" she instructed.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6dCp9kyXa
Kobeni, puzzled but willing to cooperate, formed two peace signs with her hands and nodded in affirmation.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldVEP2YMcL
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.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbsYFotDPP
Aki (Confused): "What in the—"
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6CdDQ2ZfM
But before he could finish, he came to a realization.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEkihqjAQk
Aki: "Kobeni, stand over here for a second," Aki instructed, his voice laced with a hint of urgency.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgD04Lo9rN
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.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgCnfO3Pww
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.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMduEvDAkP9
Aki: "Dammit,"
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqjTmyiNpm
Denji quickly exited a room across from the room he had entered and relayed his discovery to the group.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rHoHhjOfm
Denji: "Guys! These rooms lead to other rooms across the hall!"
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZ4YI9MdRl
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.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeIRAsNzAz
Aki (Concerned): "Has anyone else noticed that all the clocks have been stuck at 8:18 for some time now?"
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImnLb1QpzY
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.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbsZkj2cN9
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.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlN7NBYTWi
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."
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoozg5mXk01
Himeno: taking a drag from her cigarette, inquired with a touch of concern, "Aki, is the flesh piece reacting?"
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTb3P4O7Klv
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."
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOSwNYN2E5
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."
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinlxjVkdgJ
Arai, (harboring a glimmer of hope): "But if nobody hears from us for a while, surely they'll send someone to rescue us, right?"
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcgweBIFow
Aki: "I doubt it. Even if they did, they'd likely end up in the same predicament as us."
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVlc3LZmxp
Denji (increasingly impatient): "Super, quit fooling around. Can't you just teleport us out of here?"
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxnhUDxc7g
Super: "That's not how my ability works. I need to see the power in action to copy and use it."
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqjNBjl93W
Denji (disbelief): "So you're telling me that in all your time being alive, you've never thought to copy teleportation?!"
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBHCOK7pr4
Super (defensively): "No, because I never needed it!"
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0u4V9yVMh
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.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9McnAsZTVs
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.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRECgAqsM0
Denji: still groggy, inquired, "Have we figured out a way off the 8th floor yet?"
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqW7YSbcqtX
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..."
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5OBZ4QtJN
Denji: growing increasingly worried, interrupted, "Has something happened to Power?"
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjz3PyVWel
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.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyb2OEYB25K
Denji (Relieved): "She's okay. She's always like this."
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EZhyXRTyP
Himeno, her curiosity piqued, takes a seat on the window sill, lighting a cigarette and inhaling deeply before exhaling a plume of smoke.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCc43vM9Sp
They spend the next few minutes in casual conversation, with Denji and Power exchanging ideas for activities while Himeno continues to enjoy her cigarette.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8dDrSNSJv
The door swings open, and Aki steps into the room.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWkNy6CPeZ
Aki: "Himeno, do you have any cigarettes left?"
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjs0slIlJwU
Himeno (exhaling a plume of smoke) "Sorry, this is my last one."
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhK6YwBgzt
Aki approaches Himeno, a request in his eyes
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckS1Nmv5cZ
Aki: “Let me have it please..”
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanLSb8ubhx
Himeno: "If you insist," Himeno concedes, taking the cigarette from her mouth and placing it into Aki's.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlLI63Cc5s
Denji and Power share a snicker, recognizing the humorous context of this indirect exchange.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fVq39yz26
Aki (Now smoking): "I've got bad news. That devil Power killed earlier has grown substantially larger."
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhu15pPBZqg
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8XhIQH3G9
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.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvw4NuYfAw
Kobeni (Her voice trembling with terror): "Denji... let it... let it eat you..."
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcBdKikns6
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.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82StrmGheP
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."
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwo5CvjjAK
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.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUpyzyrn4j
Super: "It's alright, Kobeni," he reassured her, "everything is going to be alright. Just stay calm, okay?"
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbY2BEWzbN7
Kobeni nodded in understanding, staying close to Super, finding comfort in his presence amid the chaos.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAtZ7OcebJ
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.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWKo9IveAV
Himeno (Impatient): "God, that thing is obnoxious. Aki, can't you use the Fox Devil to swallow this thing?"
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7bVLpe1Wd
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.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnEb7HnJPu
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."
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJH9J0pZLMb
Himeno (Undeterred): "The Fox Devil's body is in Kyoto, so that makes sense. Let's see what my ghost can do then."
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqmzxfiAlh
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
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoflxVQn5LN
Eternity Devil (In Pain): “That hurt! It hurts! Oh, it hurts! The pain!”
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdA02uspOr
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.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7j15lUvKbq
Himeno: "Wh-It got bigger?"
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgeVDBWHk5
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."
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2MKHgMuN6
Denji (Skeptical): "Yeah right! You probably won't let them go, even if I do die—"
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZGrZKLtm2
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."
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCzksWLZ2Y
Arai, emerging from his room, presented a bold suggestion.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysoJAlbUUW
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!"
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKosr5XisE
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3tzWEfwdw
Aki (Firmly): "The devil wants Denji dead, which means his death could benefit it in some way. That's why we're not accepting."
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoLAPqtL79
Himeno: "I'm with him."
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONgASFq0zT
Arai: "But..."
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lOXU5zu1U
Power: "I also agree with topknot! Denji shall not die if I have anything to say about it!"
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGUC0uy3Cx
Super (Continuing to provide comfort to Kobeni): "Yeah, we're not killing Denji. He stays, and that's that."
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEg5YISokG8
Aki: "Exactly. We're devil hunters. We only kill devils."
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYI5DuQ7URC
Power: "Yay! Shall we wrestle to pass the time?"
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqbtEFijL2
Denji: "What? No—"
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoFPFDzv3w
Before he could object further, Power counted down, "3, 2, 1, BEGIN!"
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyvhxwKdQV
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.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4d2aZVHQQ
Himeno: "Aki, do you have any kind of plan to get us all out of here?"
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyYHgp5Mlq
Aki: "If what the devil says is true, we can't kill it. But we aren't killing Denji, either."
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gKP5pnTd7
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcz23ktT5Yn
Himeno: "So, is the plan to die, then?"
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXURx85bX9a
Aki, with a heavy heart, let out a deep sigh and replied, "If we truly run out of options, I'll use the sword."
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuTWGECr60
But before Aki could finish his sentence, Himeno appeared beside him, her expression deadly serious.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqh1Kf3Ta7x
Himeno: "No, you won't."
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlwKaYzLLg
Denji: "If that thing can get us out of here, shouldn't he use it?"
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0DfOXFJre
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."
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ySUumGjs3
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.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriRPxcJF0m
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.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2RP7AqhV5
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!"
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaMveu2vNj
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.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMy0DYk4NeC
Eternity Devil: "Give me Denji's heart!"
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1vRlaDrjb
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.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aLLrkUVof
Kobeni (Overwhelmed by fear) "Somebody, anybody, kill Denji! Please! Make him dead!"
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbnnkMnJut
Super, his voice filled with urgency, implored, "Kobeni, calm down! Fearing it will make it stronger! Please!"
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQeA9NITwZ
Arai: "We're running out of time! Someone, please, just kill Denji!"
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMMljalP9i
Aki: "I'm using the sword... Are you okay with that, Himeno?"
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsNU4X0PsU
Himeno, using her ghost devil, promptly restrained Aki.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSziI3Atp2j
Denji: "Whoa, lady! What the hell?"
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiDwOjQng2
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.”
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2rSNuuTna
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.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOClAJoGQl
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."
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6ZXuQ72FJ
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.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wDhgQ4CoE
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."
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqGwPaNQhV
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."
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKyJD7POGy
Denji enthusiastically agreed: "Ohh! Yeah! That could work!"
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2THpMcmO4h
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.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wnKVecxE0
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.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufpcn3DG6a
Eternity Devil (In Pain): “Oh! Ow! Ow! Ow! Oh God! The pain! Give up! You’ll never get to my heart!”
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5PZulIc3Q
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.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrKaEmRHcm
Days go by and the eternity devil finally gives up. He reveals his heart begins for them to kill him already.
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZkyji2kfq
Eternity Devil (Extremely Weak): “This is my heart.. I give up.. Please.. Kill me..”
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzyPWCEaUM
Denji (Chainsaw Form): “What?! Already? I was having fun!”
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkoaJFt0vy
