Upon witnessing this horrifying scene, everyone immediately became alert.
However, it was clear they had underestimated just how terrifying the opponent was. Only a crisp croak from the darkness was heard, and the next second, their arms were all flying into the sky.
Yes, this even included the armored warrior, the Quanxi, Reze, and the strongest Devil hunter, Kishibe. Everyone was taken by surprise, with no one spared. In an instant, their arms were flying into the air, and at the same time, a tall, bizarre figure also stood in the midst of everyone.
It was a creature very difficult to describe.
It didn't look like a creature in the normal sense but rather was made up of several gaunt human bodies.
Its two legs were two people, who firmly used their hands to support 'its' torso, which was a pile of four human heads, shoulders, arms, and chests stacked on top of each other. Calling it a torso would be an understatement; it resembled some kind of eerie living totem pole more.
Although the four heads were stacked together, they shared a spine, which extended upwards into a triangular, bizarre bony skull with two horns on top. This was the creature's real head, which indeed looked quite demonic.
As for the monster's back,
The top head out of the four in its chest stretched its arms backward as if they were shoulder guards, and a pitch-black cloak hung down from its arms.
If one had to describe this form, it felt somewhat like those combining super robots, the kind that says 'I'll form the head.'
Except this was a Cthulhu version, so it significantly dropped SAN points.
Right after the Darkness Devil executed its masterstroke, instantly dealing with everyone, Tolka, who had already been blasted in half, struggled to lift his head.
The Darkness Devil noticed him and looked down.
"I am the Puppet Devil." Tolka coughed up blood as he spoke with difficulty, "According to the contract, I have brought the heart of the chainsaw. Please grant me the power to kill Makima..."
The Darkness Devil nodded slightly, and then one of the arms from the four heads in its chest reached out, grabbed Tolka by the neck, and lifted him up. Immediately following, a large hand crossed through space and time into the human realm, delivering a ball of pitch-black substance to Tolka's master, who was nailed to a wall.
This woman... or rather, Santa Claus, was also gravely injured. Upon seeing the Darkness Devil's flesh, she didn't hesitate to open her mouth and swallow the black, sticky mass.
With that, the contract was fulfilled.
The Darkness Devil then cut off the communication, and at the same time, Tolka's head was torn off.
After this, the Darkness Devil turned its gaze back to the people, instantly locking them in an oppressively terrifying aura. Quanxi instinctively protected the Devils behind her, and Kishibe did the same, then suddenly spoke to Quanxi, "I never thought I'd actually die with you, although it's decades late."
"I won't let you go, you who harmed my woman."
Quanxi said, "If I must die, then I will definitely kill you first, and also the other man who caused Pingtsi's death. Where is he?"
"Are you talking about Fang Mo?"
Hearing Quanxi's words, Kishibe was also taken aback, "Hmm?"
Yes, it was only now that he realized, right after the ambush... Fang Mo and Nya had disappeared. However, the situation was too urgent at the time, and he himself hadn't noticed at the shore. Now, after being suddenly reminded, he came to realize.
"Could it be... they ran away?"
Kishibe frowned, "Or did they avoid the hell teleportation?"
"No... that's not right!" Yoshida Hirofumi said, as he turned his head towards a direction, "Look over there, quickly!"
"What?"
Following his gaze, everyone looked in that direction.
What they saw was astounding, as a small hill nearby suddenly lit up with dazzling white light.
Unlike the Darkness Devil's entrance, the brilliant light spread continuously from the hill, and wherever the light touched, the ground rapidly grew a layer of lush vegetation, which immediately bloomed and bore fruit, turning into a vast sea of soft, white cotton.
After that, a blurry figure appeared within the light.
The crowd couldn't make out the person's face, only seeing that it seemed to be wearing a top hat, monocle, and holding a sparkling whip in hand.
In front of this figure were two rows of robust figures constantly picking cotton.
These dark figures had human bodies, wearing only shorts sewn from the stars and stripes, and where their heads should be, were large watermelons with no facial features but carved with a huge 'joy' character instead. They kept picking cotton, never able to finish, as whips of light from the void occasionally lashed at them fiercely.
The sound of the whipping had a rhythmic quality.
The crackling was exceptionally crisp, even having a kind of wonderful rhythm like music.
And as if to confirm this speculation, suddenly a sound resembling a suona abruptly rose, followed by a group of black men in suits slowly emerging from the ground. Their faces were unclear, but they wore sunglasses and white gloves. Of course, that wasn't the main point. The main point was that they were carrying a coffin.
The coffin had several rows of large characters engraved on it; on the left, it said "Brother's smile makes life and death unpredictable," and on the right, "As the coffin lifts, hell turns pale," and at the center of the coffin.
There hung a black and white portrait of the Dark Demon.
Unlike the gloomy entrance of the Dark Demon, the atmosphere on this hillside was extraordinarily lively.
It looked like a funeral was being held, but for some reason, it was full of song and dance, filled with a kind of madness and bizarre reminiscent of Fujimoto-style craziness. The sound waves, like tsunamis, spread outwards, almost reverberating through the entire hell.
And right in the center of this radiance, the figure resembling Fang Mo was wildly dancing.
"..."
To tell the truth, it wasn't just the folks from the Special Division.
Even the Darkness Devil seemed a bit dumbfounded.
To be honest, he had encountered those who challenged him before, but this was the first time he had seen such an outrageous defiance. After all, the music was too loud, giving the impression that half of the demons in hell knew someone was dancing on their grave.
The Darkness Devil, though silent,
This did not mean he wasn't angry.
So, he quickly raised his hand and pointed towards the hillside opposite.
As the pinnacle of combat power among the chainsaw man, the Darkness Devil was indeed very powerful. With that one gesture, all living beings on the opposite hillside were twisted into pretzels, lying on the ground wriggling.
"Damn, are you sick?"
Seeing the Darkness Devil take action, Fang Mo, who was glowing all over, was clearly displeased: "Who let you touch my Sla...Nick? Can't you show some quality? If you're not buying, don't freaking touch, okay?"
The Darkness Devil didn't care much, and pointed at Fang Mo again.
"Is it a challenge?" However, Fang Mo was not afraid and also pointed at the Darkness Devil: "Since you've damaged my stuff, then you'll become my stuff."
As soon as he finished speaking, a small light orb emerged from Fang Mo's fingertip.
Then, with a 'boom', a huge beam of light shot straight at the Darkness Devil.
The Darkness Devil also launched some kind of invisible attack. The huge white light swiftly passed by, illuminating countless bizarre shadows in an instant, but in the next second, these figures were annihilated.
"Run!"
Hayakawa Aki sensed something bad the moment Fang Mo raised his hand and immediately shouted to everyone.
Since Fang Mo had just pulled that inexplicable stunt, the Darkness Devil's attention was no longer on them, so everyone felt a bit lighter and quickly started to flee.
In the blink of an eye,
The beam released by Fang Mo hit the Darkness Devil.
It felt like the entire world shook violently for a moment, and intense white flames rose up, even forming a small mushroom cloud.
Soon, the dust settled.
And a huge crater was left on the ground.
Everyone instinctively looked into the crater, only to find that the Darkness Devil seemed to have been blown away, with no remains to be found. However, due to the strong light coming from a distance, a strong shadow was cast in part of the crater.
And in this shadow,
The Darkness Devil slowly rose again.
