Chapter 3

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."
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSupPMvW8jC
Denji: "Got it."
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYxZ1dVGyQ
Power: "No problem, topknot."
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRntoWG3UOo
Super: "Sure."
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PurCo6qkg
Aki: "Arai, stay close beside me and Himeno," he directed.
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJTtRiieMQ
Arai: "Yes, Sir!"
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDruZMnZLgH
Aki: "And Kobeni, you'll stay in the back."
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2EuVIpTqL
Kobeni: "Understood."
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtzvTV7rnD
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.
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡti8mkx3YLr
Denji (Bored): "Ugh... There doesn't seem to be a devil around here. We could be stuck here for hours."
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9IQm6NIAg
Aki (Focused): "Stay focused, Denji. The devil is here somewhere."
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XsYsN8Sbz
The group pressed forward in their pursuit, determined to find their target. Suddenly, Himeno's instincts kicked in, prompting her to command a halt.
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PN80X3JWf
Himeno (Instinctive): "Stop,"
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sKfCgGHRt
Himeno: "Incoming."
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64qgDJGsq3
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.
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHpLAwGWhj
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.
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZHxb4DtFE
Power (Victorious): "Yeah! Did you all witness the great and almighty Power in action? That pathetic devil froze in mid-air in sheer terror!"
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGHQchAIjg
Himeno (Corrective): "Actually, Power, I used the ghost devil to immobilize it. It didn't freeze out of fear or anything like that."
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3n30HGXeH
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.
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmIfnjr4dY
Arai, his voice tinged with confusion and unease, said, "Isn't that...? Wait a moment."
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvJNfbdjFB
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.
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHJVBYtua0
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.
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3uEayfND4
Himeno: "Hold on, Kobeni! Make double peace signs and stay where you are!" she instructed.
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8dobnEcmJ
Kobeni, puzzled but willing to cooperate, formed two peace signs with her hands and nodded in affirmation.
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkDo41sIcE
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.
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbGqndbxWh
Aki (Confused): "What in the—"
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMbNHr8oAj
But before he could finish, he came to a realization.
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgrRmnwRMd
Aki: "Kobeni, stand over here for a second," Aki instructed, his voice laced with a hint of urgency.
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP08kJVOQU5
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.
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxm5CxN8Uh5
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.
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBb99BXgOnx
Aki: "Dammit,"
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡji8isppGtO
Denji quickly exited a room across from the room he had entered and relayed his discovery to the group.
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkRj77D5WR
Denji: "Guys! These rooms lead to other rooms across the hall!"
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPcWvUelcR
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.
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLD3OoQ3aE
Aki (Concerned): "Has anyone else noticed that all the clocks have been stuck at 8:18 for some time now?"
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTRBdDlDLI
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.
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBusxULrFY
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.
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXVLj2AUL8
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."
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuVHsahcY5
Himeno: taking a drag from her cigarette, inquired with a touch of concern, "Aki, is the flesh piece reacting?"
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0BQfL8xlw
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."
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaZhMgTfL5
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."
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xPqhUr2SQ
Arai, (harboring a glimmer of hope): "But if nobody hears from us for a while, surely they'll send someone to rescue us, right?"
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqI84Uc50K
Aki: "I doubt it. Even if they did, they'd likely end up in the same predicament as us."
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7ngqpQDFq
Denji (increasingly impatient): "Super, quit fooling around. Can't you just teleport us out of here?"
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAKm3Nyap2
Super: "That's not how my ability works. I need to see the power in action to copy and use it."
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkWGMIYH69
Denji (disbelief): "So you're telling me that in all your time being alive, you've never thought to copy teleportation?!"
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAylklas5K
Super (defensively): "No, because I never needed it!"
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLO83g4F6Z5
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.
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFLkYZdl9c
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.
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cwLQ5bfXt
Denji: still groggy, inquired, "Have we figured out a way off the 8th floor yet?"
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IPvWqkRfo
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..."
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6E1vOYtwj6
Denji: growing increasingly worried, interrupted, "Has something happened to Power?"
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3MLqfyd1m
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.
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2B1glY2lbd
Denji (Relieved): "She's okay. She's always like this."
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNcnM25CEV
Himeno, her curiosity piqued, takes a seat on the window sill, lighting a cigarette and inhaling deeply before exhaling a plume of smoke.
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyv9LHH4uw
They spend the next few minutes in casual conversation, with Denji and Power exchanging ideas for activities while Himeno continues to enjoy her cigarette.
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUuRoylTGZ
The door swings open, and Aki steps into the room.
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyZ4xtv52A
Aki: "Himeno, do you have any cigarettes left?"
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9xu4m8Tjq
Himeno (exhaling a plume of smoke) "Sorry, this is my last one."
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0TOUGdMBf
Aki approaches Himeno, a request in his eyes
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlUqpDBXpO
Aki: “Let me have it please..”
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMEuN6tsjZ
Himeno: "If you insist," Himeno concedes, taking the cigarette from her mouth and placing it into Aki's.
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEs3EwB2Q4
Denji and Power share a snicker, recognizing the humorous context of this indirect exchange.
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54cytqZz0z
Aki (Now smoking): "I've got bad news. That devil Power killed earlier has grown substantially larger."
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOiqHqzHkC
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FtWdXbAEX
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.
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7oPZtUYcM
Kobeni (Her voice trembling with terror): "Denji... let it... let it eat you..."
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7Pi5qn5Ux
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.
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQsigRY2PG
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."
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0SDkwfaYt
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.
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSkfinhWjF
Super: "It's alright, Kobeni," he reassured her, "everything is going to be alright. Just stay calm, okay?"
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8nymmff33
Kobeni nodded in understanding, staying close to Super, finding comfort in his presence amid the chaos.
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG55orRcm1h
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.
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0765LugB3t
Himeno (Impatient): "God, that thing is obnoxious. Aki, can't you use the Fox Devil to swallow this thing?"
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5Nwcu0wXP
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.
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIwQcw00ps
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."
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUNpGknEED
Himeno (Undeterred): "The Fox Devil's body is in Kyoto, so that makes sense. Let's see what my ghost can do then."
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWxhr9avB2
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
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYyC17QsFE
Eternity Devil (In Pain): “That hurt! It hurts! Oh, it hurts! The pain!”
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MWuSvYVKW
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.
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvx6A9hZAi
Himeno: "Wh-It got bigger?"
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFdw8uAatT
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."
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmvh3khH84
Denji (Skeptical): "Yeah right! You probably won't let them go, even if I do die—"
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNIAV1RhEz
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."
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaFMN7bykO
Arai, emerging from his room, presented a bold suggestion.
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAS26RqulX
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!"
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡua3B3aOx85
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCaKXr40vW
Aki (Firmly): "The devil wants Denji dead, which means his death could benefit it in some way. That's why we're not accepting."
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntbiFc0CcC
Himeno: "I'm with him."
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXcpGF31If
Arai: "But..."
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzEllMI06I
Power: "I also agree with topknot! Denji shall not die if I have anything to say about it!"
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSnJEcIUHr
Super (Continuing to provide comfort to Kobeni): "Yeah, we're not killing Denji. He stays, and that's that."
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzFGRul91a
Aki: "Exactly. We're devil hunters. We only kill devils."
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8jyrd8Kdf
Power: "Yay! Shall we wrestle to pass the time?"
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcM6oq4gC3A
Denji: "What? No—"
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjPPv3Qneq
Before he could object further, Power counted down, "3, 2, 1, BEGIN!"
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qaUzOfr36
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.
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0law1x6AC
Himeno: "Aki, do you have any kind of plan to get us all out of here?"
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODgDsC3yvE
Aki: "If what the devil says is true, we can't kill it. But we aren't killing Denji, either."
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1E79GQySHh
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡislMVWuON8
Himeno: "So, is the plan to die, then?"
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGq7mLlm8Zt
Aki, with a heavy heart, let out a deep sigh and replied, "If we truly run out of options, I'll use the sword."
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl31EdRTGHn
But before Aki could finish his sentence, Himeno appeared beside him, her expression deadly serious.
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8DCj343Xt
Himeno: "No, you won't."
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88IEPzzj0q
Denji: "If that thing can get us out of here, shouldn't he use it?"
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oV5yOMoLu
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."
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZeFVBZs0A
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.
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtx6UcxeH0
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.
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vxN1ggMJz
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!"
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ58w5P89IJ
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.
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf909xt18XD
Eternity Devil: "Give me Denji's heart!"
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9gHuREzMk
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.
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxPNhEdbcK
Kobeni (Overwhelmed by fear) "Somebody, anybody, kill Denji! Please! Make him dead!"
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHWTfuidzX
Super, his voice filled with urgency, implored, "Kobeni, calm down! Fearing it will make it stronger! Please!"
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Eh6xeQLSa
Arai: "We're running out of time! Someone, please, just kill Denji!"
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpm8Rq9pD1u
Aki: "I'm using the sword... Are you okay with that, Himeno?"
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bVZZxqf9M
Himeno, using her ghost devil, promptly restrained Aki.
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleM2OPuGMo
Denji: "Whoa, lady! What the hell?"
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1hpsG1kX0
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.”
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQNNryxyqO
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.
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvh35nxtzaE
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."
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8FC1RjD8J
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.
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXAlGAmAU8
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."
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vDttWznYm
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."
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA92jRMk2gI
Denji enthusiastically agreed: "Ohh! Yeah! That could work!"
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfODKy83vN
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.
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDScvYxosb
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.
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yIb3OcQ5p
Eternity Devil (In Pain): “Oh! Ow! Ow! Ow! Oh God! The pain! Give up! You’ll never get to my heart!”
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrHBjufY8H
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.
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXtZQdCllJ
Days go by and the eternity devil finally gives up. He reveals his heart begins for them to kill him already.
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AeAkmFOlf
Eternity Devil (Extremely Weak): “This is my heart.. I give up.. Please.. Kill me..”
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1EEgP7snj
Denji (Chainsaw Form): “What?! Already? I was having fun!”
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAdtZQ4bB1
