Chapter 46
The grotesque, nauseating devil looked half-asleep.
Oh, here it comes.
Denji also saw the hideous deformed monster.
Power's face was already full of eager, excited smiles, but she still looked at him expectantly with her eyes first.
Denji smiled and gave a small nod.
Power immediately couldn't wait any longer—she condensed a small blood hammer in her hand.
Like whack-a-mole, she smashed the human-head-sized devil to pieces in one hit.
Blood plasma sprayed extremely far under the heavy pressure—pure crimson, nothing else visible.
Probably doesn't have much of a brain.
"How's that, Aki? This thing shouldn't be right, right?"
The devil in front of them was obviously far too weak—nothing like the "once you enter, you never leave" terror described in the mission.
Aki looked toward Denji.
"It's not over yet, but it's just…"
Denji was about to explain when a fun idea suddenly popped into his head.
If he remembered correctly, the Eternity Devil seemed to start expanding from that lump of meat, right?
So what if… he just "ate" the meat chunk now?
He instantly formed hand signs and summoned the invisible Hellhound to completely devour the devil's remains on the ground.
From the others' perspective, Denji made a gesture, summoned something invisible, and the unseen thing instantly erased the devil corpse on the floor.
"…"
The scene was strangely eerie. No one spoke lightly.
Not long after, another door opened. A devil almost identical to the previous one staggered out.
This time Power didn't even wait for Denji's nod—she condensed the remaining blood on the ground into a blood hammer and hurled it.
That devil died pretty much the same way.
Denji summoned again. The corpse was eaten once more.
The Eternity Devil behind this really seemed to be stubbornly competing with Denji.
Now all the remaining unopened doors burst open at once—more than a dozen or twenty human-head devils walked out simultaneously…
Power saw this scene and became ecstatic!
This—this is just a special edition whack-a-mole!
Denji played it with me before!
Perhaps because of this thought in her mind, she didn't even consider other moves. She chose to wield the hammer with both hands, striking continuously at extreme speed along the way.
The blood hammer danced like a whirlwind in her hands. Every time the whirlwind smashed a devil, a large pool of thick, sticky blood appeared on the ground.
Soon the entire corridor was covered in scarlet and murky darkness…
With a wave of her hand, the corpse chunks on the ground were cleared again.
After waiting quite a while, nothing came out this time.
Denji raised an eyebrow slightly. The suppressed laughter on his face gradually relaxed.
Who said the Eternity Devil was stupid? Not completely stupid after all~
Exploration continued.
Actually, by now they had already entered the domain of Eternity.
The appearance of those devils was the trigger for Eternity—and the leftover trap.
It really wanted to kill Chainsaw with its own hands, so it left behind this trap that was practically a flaw.
Sure enough—those who went upstairs came back up from downstairs; those who went downstairs appeared again from upstairs.
Still the 8th floor. The "eternal" 8th floor~
"∞"
All entrances and exits formed a bizarre loop, with no real way out existing.
The clocks were all stuck at 8:18—as if even time had fallen into eternity along with this space.
After careful exploration, Aki reached a conclusion:
"We're trapped on the 8th floor."
His gaze turned to Denji, as if asking for his thoughts.
Denji smiled easily. Isn't this simple?
Just kill anything that shows its head, wait for the Eternity Devil…
Uh—
Did he just eat all of the Eternity Devil's weak points…?
Fuck, damn it—careless.
Got too used to stomping noobs.
To the point that his battle thinking pattern now was always:
My super intelligence tells me it's time to use my super power! After going full berserk too many times, he forgot to bring his brain…
So… what now?
Denji was still thinking.
Meanwhile, Power—who had heard Aki's conclusion—suddenly looked like she had won the ultimate jackpot, ecstatic beyond words:
"Doesn't that mean this great one can stay here and make love with Denji forever?! No—not just one lifetime, we can make love eternally forever! Hahahahaha!!!"
Everyone was stunned by her world-shaking declaration.
They had already started feeling fear toward this eerie unknown—only for their emotions to be shattered into pieces by Power in an instant.
"What do you think, Denji Denji Should we start right now?
Oh right—do you like these two girls?
If you like them, I'll keep them. If not, I'll just clean up these extra unnecessary things first~"
A massive blood-colored warhammer took shape.
Now everyone not only had to fear the unknown eternity—they also had to fear the brutal Power~
The tragic state of those human-head devils being smashed to pieces was still fresh in memory. They never expected it would be their turn so soon…
"Alright, stop scaring them, Power."
Fortunately Denji was there.
As long as he was present, none of the terror could ever become real.
Hearing Denji's words, Power changed faces in one second.
The image of a frenzied killer vanished instantly along with the warhammer—leaving only the lively, innocent, adorable little Power~
"Okay~ Actually this great one was just joking earlier. How could I possibly want to kill people?"
After saying that, she cutely stuck out her tongue and winked~
clap clap
Denji clapped twice lightly. Once everyone's attention turned to him, he began directing:
"Power, try the full-power warhammer later."
He patted the wall in the middle of the corridor. The sound was dull—this section was load-bearing; behind the impact point was solid.
"Just smash here."
After saying that, he turned to Aki and the others.
"Mm, the noise might be pretty loud later. Everyone prepare some noise protection~"
Aki nodded, quickly adapting. He understood.
He then entered a room, selected suitable materials, and made earplugs and such.
Once everyone was ready, Denji looked down again at Higashiyama Koharu in his arms—eyes tightly closed, mouth slightly open, ears plugged with earplugs, hands still covering them.
Feeling everything was fine, he gave a small nod toward Power—who had long been staring at him with wide eyes full of excitement and anticipation.
After receiving the signal, Power unconsciously grinned, revealing a wild, ferocious smile.
Golden hair danced wildly in the surging air currents. The evolved blood horns on her head flowed with a faint red glow.
"Haa—"
She let out a low roar. Scarlet blood visibly expanded and shaped in her hands at eye-blinding speed.
The originally viscous liquid instantly condensed into a metallic texture.
A blood-colored warhammer taller than her entire body—with a hammerhead as thick as a bucket—suddenly took form.
The surface of the hammer flowed with eerie dark-red luster. Its true weight felt even more exaggerated than its displayed size.
Looking at that terrifying presence, everyone felt their blood momentarily struggle to flow…
Without the slightest pause, Power gripped the handle with both hands, waist and abdomen exerting force. The warhammer stood beside her body; she rotated backward to create sufficient winding-up space.
Blood surged rapidly through her body. Terrifying monstrous strength continuously condensed.
Finally, with a furious roar, the monstrous power combined with the hammer's own mass exploded outward in a violent swing!
"SMASH FOR THIS GREAT ONE—!!!"
The instant the hammer swung, the afterimage seemed to linger in space unusually long.
The whoosh sound was strange—like even space itself hadn't reacted yet, giving a feeling of sluggishness.
Only after the blood-red afterimage vanished did the air suddenly tear apart, emitting a piercing screech. Wild wind rushed indiscriminately toward everything around!
Meanwhile the true body of the blood hammer had already turned into a crimson bolt of lightning, carrying ten-thousand-jun force, precisely smashing into the wall Denji had pointed out earlier!
BOOM—CRACKCRACKCRACK!!!
A dull, ancient-bell-like giant impact exploded outward. The air trembled with invisible ripples.
Terrifying impact force erupted at the contact point. Not just the wall—even the entire corridor seemed to shudder violently from the strike.
Even so, the wall did not completely shatter, though it looked extremely miserable:
Centered on the impact point, countless ferocious cracks instantly burst outward—like black lightning crawling beneath the wall surface.
Spider-web-like fractures spread at high speed, densely covering several meters around.
Every crack was bottomless. The hideous wounds gave the impression that the entire wall could collapse into pieces at any moment.
Yet it stubbornly held.
And it was continuously repairing itself!
