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.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFHL9ZkVJo
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."
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85IoASGhF3
Denji: "Got it."
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOaE60pF64
Power: "No problem, topknot."
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKsC5QNpF4
Super: "Sure."
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWyvvl3Y0z
Aki: "Arai, stay close beside me and Himeno," he directed.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMS2lLSsD8
Arai: "Yes, Sir!"
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxGhqunCHf
Aki: "And Kobeni, you'll stay in the back."
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBPzMejUBG
Kobeni: "Understood."
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3S0auyhZaE
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.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfUwX9dw8Z
Denji (Bored): "Ugh... There doesn't seem to be a devil around here. We could be stuck here for hours."
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKVtcJHjY3
Aki (Focused): "Stay focused, Denji. The devil is here somewhere."
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBZEPKwM38
The group pressed forward in their pursuit, determined to find their target. Suddenly, Himeno's instincts kicked in, prompting her to command a halt.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyzwOUulw2
Himeno (Instinctive): "Stop,"
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQM08sihEDT
Himeno: "Incoming."
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5le5ABq15
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.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcng4HwG993
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.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOf9egRFK3b
Power (Victorious): "Yeah! Did you all witness the great and almighty Power in action? That pathetic devil froze in mid-air in sheer terror!"
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEt7nMZyX6i
Himeno (Corrective): "Actually, Power, I used the ghost devil to immobilize it. It didn't freeze out of fear or anything like that."
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaD9fCJHAmh
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.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYG5y5qflX
Arai, his voice tinged with confusion and unease, said, "Isn't that...? Wait a moment."
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzVUZwJEoC
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.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKSM26W3J3
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.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaK5p5kD2WM
Himeno: "Hold on, Kobeni! Make double peace signs and stay where you are!" she instructed.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTge63vviL
Kobeni, puzzled but willing to cooperate, formed two peace signs with her hands and nodded in affirmation.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTQtyM3JKh
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.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCSXX3TEUe
Aki (Confused): "What in the—"
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkVx0hSI1F
But before he could finish, he came to a realization.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosHmysstlX
Aki: "Kobeni, stand over here for a second," Aki instructed, his voice laced with a hint of urgency.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBdVbpc25K
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.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyVKXWXoBZ
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.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYWZqRzLFZ
Aki: "Dammit,"
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BIc6RP2ja
Denji quickly exited a room across from the room he had entered and relayed his discovery to the group.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4neKBH8jtG
Denji: "Guys! These rooms lead to other rooms across the hall!"
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWvIswuKFb
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.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeI9It9kSa
Aki (Concerned): "Has anyone else noticed that all the clocks have been stuck at 8:18 for some time now?"
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Cfa9vh4Yr
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.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMkac5X5hr
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.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7wuBvjffh
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."
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNXmL9tQA2
Himeno: taking a drag from her cigarette, inquired with a touch of concern, "Aki, is the flesh piece reacting?"
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLM1pskPfC3
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."
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsoZ2GcIRx
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."
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNJJvWU4nl
Arai, (harboring a glimmer of hope): "But if nobody hears from us for a while, surely they'll send someone to rescue us, right?"
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeTDo7VGCB
Aki: "I doubt it. Even if they did, they'd likely end up in the same predicament as us."
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRbR6CmpIE
Denji (increasingly impatient): "Super, quit fooling around. Can't you just teleport us out of here?"
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNL3ZfZ6Uw
Super: "That's not how my ability works. I need to see the power in action to copy and use it."
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEU71jqnom
Denji (disbelief): "So you're telling me that in all your time being alive, you've never thought to copy teleportation?!"
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRzRhyzv8X
Super (defensively): "No, because I never needed it!"
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OYIRJaa9i
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.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvco0UMpaUv
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.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVJMv59B3T
Denji: still groggy, inquired, "Have we figured out a way off the 8th floor yet?"
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4AFs7yRrl
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..."
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg07JgLrRC9
Denji: growing increasingly worried, interrupted, "Has something happened to Power?"
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1pF3Fp8vg
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.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxg0GLlMBw
Denji (Relieved): "She's okay. She's always like this."
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmsttmO6p4
Himeno, her curiosity piqued, takes a seat on the window sill, lighting a cigarette and inhaling deeply before exhaling a plume of smoke.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1t8CWh6jv
They spend the next few minutes in casual conversation, with Denji and Power exchanging ideas for activities while Himeno continues to enjoy her cigarette.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6lJTZoZGa
The door swings open, and Aki steps into the room.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOnISLjpoi
Aki: "Himeno, do you have any cigarettes left?"
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaW31z1Ne2
Himeno (exhaling a plume of smoke) "Sorry, this is my last one."
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYRzwM2Q3A
Aki approaches Himeno, a request in his eyes
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcnvGy0Xr3
Aki: “Let me have it please..”
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFxsX0PbDr
Himeno: "If you insist," Himeno concedes, taking the cigarette from her mouth and placing it into Aki's.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xpYub0KnD
Denji and Power share a snicker, recognizing the humorous context of this indirect exchange.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVujb0PmwoL
Aki (Now smoking): "I've got bad news. That devil Power killed earlier has grown substantially larger."
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDxngsvEId
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XP41KMMhs
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.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDcdQaubyJ
Kobeni (Her voice trembling with terror): "Denji... let it... let it eat you..."
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmRNWeXFw6
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.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbpr4iXlIE
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."
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyCUKlYvDs
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.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpX3NcZLHVD
Super: "It's alright, Kobeni," he reassured her, "everything is going to be alright. Just stay calm, okay?"
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFm94TPxnM3
Kobeni nodded in understanding, staying close to Super, finding comfort in his presence amid the chaos.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42Ps9pVEqn
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.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJJMql5g9s
Himeno (Impatient): "God, that thing is obnoxious. Aki, can't you use the Fox Devil to swallow this thing?"
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItZADDKGhw
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.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxv0VoaezaH
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."
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lyGzvx8q6
Himeno (Undeterred): "The Fox Devil's body is in Kyoto, so that makes sense. Let's see what my ghost can do then."
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3Y00plOEi
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
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2EvxvNnlr
Eternity Devil (In Pain): “That hurt! It hurts! Oh, it hurts! The pain!”
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPKfnLQvSr
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.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡox37JzKIOC
Himeno: "Wh-It got bigger?"
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnQvBTl5iq
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."
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChds4QP5kr
Denji (Skeptical): "Yeah right! You probably won't let them go, even if I do die—"
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7ImcWF1HN
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."
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9KiHohaYp
Arai, emerging from his room, presented a bold suggestion.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLXJU4FYKl
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!"
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH75ItwcxJy
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NJRuqEaNA
Aki (Firmly): "The devil wants Denji dead, which means his death could benefit it in some way. That's why we're not accepting."
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11NG4D3TUN
Himeno: "I'm with him."
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKe2Jkzbxy
Arai: "But..."
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHrXU9cOcy
Power: "I also agree with topknot! Denji shall not die if I have anything to say about it!"
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMoT9hQsIJ
Super (Continuing to provide comfort to Kobeni): "Yeah, we're not killing Denji. He stays, and that's that."
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtspr2AGkdP
Aki: "Exactly. We're devil hunters. We only kill devils."
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbwq1d7pzb
Power: "Yay! Shall we wrestle to pass the time?"
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWgSk0HV7R
Denji: "What? No—"
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWK12LUYKY
Before he could object further, Power counted down, "3, 2, 1, BEGIN!"
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChfotwtTwx
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.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9yM2LO0XU
Himeno: "Aki, do you have any kind of plan to get us all out of here?"
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKcy4yNKqL
Aki: "If what the devil says is true, we can't kill it. But we aren't killing Denji, either."
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRoTKyAO6m
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WvVIMbFtd
Himeno: "So, is the plan to die, then?"
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMYwTXVNAN
Aki, with a heavy heart, let out a deep sigh and replied, "If we truly run out of options, I'll use the sword."
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSuZJGHux1
But before Aki could finish his sentence, Himeno appeared beside him, her expression deadly serious.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAe8lFVBmCu
Himeno: "No, you won't."
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWs392Fcs1
Denji: "If that thing can get us out of here, shouldn't he use it?"
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYJLRhRNm0
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."
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRjEUN4i7z
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.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8lzhVUMH8
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.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2VTygLXFl
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!"
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9Mr1AKXnC
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.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpmXhi9iDO
Eternity Devil: "Give me Denji's heart!"
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiCsplK7Ic
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.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEb6BwmPf3M
Kobeni (Overwhelmed by fear) "Somebody, anybody, kill Denji! Please! Make him dead!"
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiKnNG4dVT
Super, his voice filled with urgency, implored, "Kobeni, calm down! Fearing it will make it stronger! Please!"
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJ8A3HD0oh
Arai: "We're running out of time! Someone, please, just kill Denji!"
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Iex270lkw
Aki: "I'm using the sword... Are you okay with that, Himeno?"
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9OJQ9BItP
Himeno, using her ghost devil, promptly restrained Aki.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfMMELXDPg
Denji: "Whoa, lady! What the hell?"
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCZn8t8DZy
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.”
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60l3phpC6G
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.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCkC9Favsh
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."
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ507kvUIGxP
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.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7ulMohYDb
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."
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqcCqhxMCE
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."
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy313clGKGw
Denji enthusiastically agreed: "Ohh! Yeah! That could work!"
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntau5lJawn
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.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndp5z3fqeZ
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.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSO4KrVgfSu
Eternity Devil (In Pain): “Oh! Ow! Ow! Ow! Oh God! The pain! Give up! You’ll never get to my heart!”
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5GhvHsSbu
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.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0V52QhfrZ
Days go by and the eternity devil finally gives up. He reveals his heart begins for them to kill him already.
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkiaS89GCI
Eternity Devil (Extremely Weak): “This is my heart.. I give up.. Please.. Kill me..”
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qElk8LztE
Denji (Chainsaw Form): “What?! Already? I was having fun!”
252Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEV7KrLTQx
