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."
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmToMLhkg4A
Denji: "Got it."
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVRHsGqYj6
Power: "No problem, topknot."
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdCUukx03l
Super: "Sure."
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2By1JSVdfj
Aki: "Arai, stay close beside me and Himeno," he directed.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcHKRQk9ck
Arai: "Yes, Sir!"
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eCC7QhZ7O
Aki: "And Kobeni, you'll stay in the back."
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDUC3o6ZD2
Kobeni: "Understood."
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq19eeKigTO
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.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsgADv109o
Denji (Bored): "Ugh... There doesn't seem to be a devil around here. We could be stuck here for hours."
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4hitng5MF
Aki (Focused): "Stay focused, Denji. The devil is here somewhere."
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Y7yPanrIq
The group pressed forward in their pursuit, determined to find their target. Suddenly, Himeno's instincts kicked in, prompting her to command a halt.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUbZM20fmc
Himeno (Instinctive): "Stop,"
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtgsN1CQNt
Himeno: "Incoming."
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9HzPMZ69l
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.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqymWxYreh
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.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBDU50hEXH
Power (Victorious): "Yeah! Did you all witness the great and almighty Power in action? That pathetic devil froze in mid-air in sheer terror!"
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWg0FhCekrh
Himeno (Corrective): "Actually, Power, I used the ghost devil to immobilize it. It didn't freeze out of fear or anything like that."
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICSw6NFHQm
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.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcnn0qLOq0
Arai, his voice tinged with confusion and unease, said, "Isn't that...? Wait a moment."
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogRUERYQ5W
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.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPRkOABePf
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.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxyTpsZmrH
Himeno: "Hold on, Kobeni! Make double peace signs and stay where you are!" she instructed.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFoOqkjwKm
Kobeni, puzzled but willing to cooperate, formed two peace signs with her hands and nodded in affirmation.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0YMe6sbpX
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.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeiFvNP9tl
Aki (Confused): "What in the—"
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUrlPh6xR4
But before he could finish, he came to a realization.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VuIyPQBZu
Aki: "Kobeni, stand over here for a second," Aki instructed, his voice laced with a hint of urgency.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLljiHQLFt8
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.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyj1QKoxvq
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.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAF1v6Yve9u
Aki: "Dammit,"
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhqztToDbh
Denji quickly exited a room across from the room he had entered and relayed his discovery to the group.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0P9hJ9B0Km
Denji: "Guys! These rooms lead to other rooms across the hall!"
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrM80HPLeQE
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.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKb0Ji8YsZ
Aki (Concerned): "Has anyone else noticed that all the clocks have been stuck at 8:18 for some time now?"
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuu6xGevus
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.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2ozten6Bk
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.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Racnoomfy
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."
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3J2qDmXlu8
Himeno: taking a drag from her cigarette, inquired with a touch of concern, "Aki, is the flesh piece reacting?"
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qFznp9jf8
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."
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbRkKSejK4
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."
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zWcR0XHo7
Arai, (harboring a glimmer of hope): "But if nobody hears from us for a while, surely they'll send someone to rescue us, right?"
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mjJ3gYP90
Aki: "I doubt it. Even if they did, they'd likely end up in the same predicament as us."
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3brt150AmG
Denji (increasingly impatient): "Super, quit fooling around. Can't you just teleport us out of here?"
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiGqbujMw4
Super: "That's not how my ability works. I need to see the power in action to copy and use it."
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOj0JMDlnQ
Denji (disbelief): "So you're telling me that in all your time being alive, you've never thought to copy teleportation?!"
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9D4ZcVxNe7
Super (defensively): "No, because I never needed it!"
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYb3tIhkNEp
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.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigXkkyvPzz
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.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2ScOEJodV
Denji: still groggy, inquired, "Have we figured out a way off the 8th floor yet?"
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3RjISYfgV
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..."
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74xGkpbGEr
Denji: growing increasingly worried, interrupted, "Has something happened to Power?"
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cucin9R2u
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.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUfrVDrhZr
Denji (Relieved): "She's okay. She's always like this."
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoTdE2e0xa
Himeno, her curiosity piqued, takes a seat on the window sill, lighting a cigarette and inhaling deeply before exhaling a plume of smoke.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQ2ykf09Eb
They spend the next few minutes in casual conversation, with Denji and Power exchanging ideas for activities while Himeno continues to enjoy her cigarette.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcqHUVPa0u
The door swings open, and Aki steps into the room.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXAajDxOnW
Aki: "Himeno, do you have any cigarettes left?"
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73B0JnrgcA
Himeno (exhaling a plume of smoke) "Sorry, this is my last one."
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHbcYH1MJh
Aki approaches Himeno, a request in his eyes
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31MhrHgRyi
Aki: “Let me have it please..”
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRITVx1NQG3
Himeno: "If you insist," Himeno concedes, taking the cigarette from her mouth and placing it into Aki's.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQmAyidYnT
Denji and Power share a snicker, recognizing the humorous context of this indirect exchange.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4DvmL6o0J
Aki (Now smoking): "I've got bad news. That devil Power killed earlier has grown substantially larger."
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhivpGejpoB
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVW78qHxl1
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.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKAjKSb7I5
Kobeni (Her voice trembling with terror): "Denji... let it... let it eat you..."
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJioxfpyJN
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.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPkVHJxe2k
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."
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnXeWldLsq
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.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGMywRErmo
Super: "It's alright, Kobeni," he reassured her, "everything is going to be alright. Just stay calm, okay?"
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMb1Egh5iD9
Kobeni nodded in understanding, staying close to Super, finding comfort in his presence amid the chaos.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVujMqUVZN
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.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5vGZbcmEx
Himeno (Impatient): "God, that thing is obnoxious. Aki, can't you use the Fox Devil to swallow this thing?"
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3QYRDPwo1
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.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5IAylqeIj
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."
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97oiLUNM6I
Himeno (Undeterred): "The Fox Devil's body is in Kyoto, so that makes sense. Let's see what my ghost can do then."
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyMjEXBMBh
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
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1n2IShCLeB
Eternity Devil (In Pain): “That hurt! It hurts! Oh, it hurts! The pain!”
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkd4BlmkTg
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.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWl59wk3w0F
Himeno: "Wh-It got bigger?"
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCRZQ8gt5M
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."
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNt8iO1x1D
Denji (Skeptical): "Yeah right! You probably won't let them go, even if I do die—"
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdI9LEY4bHj
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."
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuldbKIdYh
Arai, emerging from his room, presented a bold suggestion.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbS2OV9qw7
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!"
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzc5CQeudf
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRIkwUOFOr
Aki (Firmly): "The devil wants Denji dead, which means his death could benefit it in some way. That's why we're not accepting."
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBCz2TM75K
Himeno: "I'm with him."
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2NsCY1asE
Arai: "But..."
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0Pb6ja3fV
Power: "I also agree with topknot! Denji shall not die if I have anything to say about it!"
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBdsKwRYnH
Super (Continuing to provide comfort to Kobeni): "Yeah, we're not killing Denji. He stays, and that's that."
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaCZPZp3QQ
Aki: "Exactly. We're devil hunters. We only kill devils."
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mvROIxycM
Power: "Yay! Shall we wrestle to pass the time?"
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrmRzmEg7o
Denji: "What? No—"
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWb0HzgHzt
Before he could object further, Power counted down, "3, 2, 1, BEGIN!"
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcrbftuyBG
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.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6s0uMuV7d
Himeno: "Aki, do you have any kind of plan to get us all out of here?"
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKALtdKjm3A
Aki: "If what the devil says is true, we can't kill it. But we aren't killing Denji, either."
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBajW6jiNas
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsYwXqA1DT
Himeno: "So, is the plan to die, then?"
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ejAOLExLF
Aki, with a heavy heart, let out a deep sigh and replied, "If we truly run out of options, I'll use the sword."
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPep5mYr3x
But before Aki could finish his sentence, Himeno appeared beside him, her expression deadly serious.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWOGhsVLcJ
Himeno: "No, you won't."
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqX1ivkbwnL
Denji: "If that thing can get us out of here, shouldn't he use it?"
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1m72zeCrr
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."
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89CkZbQ0K0
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.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkP9QnP0l7N
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.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMhCXuD8AL
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!"
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDc86w7m4NH
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.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXd0Rb1kjSG
Eternity Devil: "Give me Denji's heart!"
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeHi3HPXQH
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.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FYAqmXfn5
Kobeni (Overwhelmed by fear) "Somebody, anybody, kill Denji! Please! Make him dead!"
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBt6CTT8Yn
Super, his voice filled with urgency, implored, "Kobeni, calm down! Fearing it will make it stronger! Please!"
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGZfg7ktMh
Arai: "We're running out of time! Someone, please, just kill Denji!"
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKTdTQcAjJ
Aki: "I'm using the sword... Are you okay with that, Himeno?"
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvMzu44VnU
Himeno, using her ghost devil, promptly restrained Aki.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcjwCNqQ42
Denji: "Whoa, lady! What the hell?"
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKVYfAoHn1
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.”
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjtRJxrPBd
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.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTImYOrVyc2
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."
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0A7Va4SXq
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.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrkDEZXlHZ
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."
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyDKkWsATz
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."
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvn9zqO982D
Denji enthusiastically agreed: "Ohh! Yeah! That could work!"
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm44DPExUIy
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.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YGOE7nlVh
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.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWnZAXTna0
Eternity Devil (In Pain): “Oh! Ow! Ow! Ow! Oh God! The pain! Give up! You’ll never get to my heart!”
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyI742L3Joz
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.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKF26JlugN
Days go by and the eternity devil finally gives up. He reveals his heart begins for them to kill him already.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsqDVEu3Po
Eternity Devil (Extremely Weak): “This is my heart.. I give up.. Please.. Kill me..”
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYKLcpPi4A
Denji (Chainsaw Form): “What?! Already? I was having fun!”
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uMu8iRJan
