Chapter 233: Darkness Devil
I didn't expect it!
Not at all!
The woman with the pitiful face, who interacted with her apprentice Torik in a way that made people want to ship them, and even wanted to sacrifice herself for him, turned out to be the final boss: Santa Claus!
"The real person has always been her! That Santa Claus and Torik are her puppets!"
Sakura finally understood and muttered to herself.
It's so shocking!
No one would have thought that this woman was the real Santa Claus and that she was manipulating everything.
This sudden appearance of the big boss exceeded all expectations!
Yusuke Sato, who had already seen this episode, was also impressed.
"This contrasting way of presenting the villain... is truly wonderful!"
Yusuke Sato exclaimed, "Originally, she seemed like a pitiful supporting character, about to be sacrificed at any moment. Everyone might even feel sadness seeing her sacrifice...".
"But at that moment, this character suddenly changed! She became the great villain who manipulates everything! It's really... a wonderful setting for a villain!".
"This shows that the villain is so powerful that she has everything under control, and she can also turn the compassion the audience felt for her into outrage for being deceived by her!".
"Exactly! This kind of setting for a villain!".
A good idea occurred to Yusuke Sato, and he muttered to himself, "Then The Gods can also create a villain like this, willing to sacrifice himself for his subordinates, and finally change, and only reveal his true face at the end!".
"In the end, he said that he controlled everything! The protagonist's misfortune! The supporting character's misfortune! They were all personally directed by him... Wonderful! Wonderful!".
"And this character must be portrayed in a way that makes the manga fans cry the most, so that the resentment, in the end, is more deeply rooted in people's hearts!"
Yusuke Sato truly felt he was a genius capable of drawing conclusions from a single example, and he was happy with himself.
For this reason, he began to pick up the draft again and design the sketch of this character...
This character must be a kind father... In fact, he is a hypocritical person...
But it's easy to figure out on his own if he manipulates everything... So he must also have the ability to manipulate puppets, support a puppet of his own, disguised as a former enemy to become his current enemy...
In this way, he can better play the opposite role...
A mad scientist from The Gods seems to fit this role better...
Many ideas emerged in Yusuke Sato's mind, and he drew a sketch, a... meticulous and serious old man!
...
Sakura continued to flip through the volume and looked at the next chapter.
"Is this hell?"
Sakura observed the manga scene with curiosity and said.
Besides the strange sky with doors everywhere, the seemingly ordinary grass also hides horror.
For example, among the flowers and plants on the ground, scattered broken fingers could be seen.
At the same time, a narration was heard on the screen: "The air is permeated with the breath of death and madness!".
"Where is this place?" asked Kusakabe, surprised.
At that moment, Aki Hayakawa approached Denji and pulled the engine ripcord on his chest.
The chainsaw detached from Denji's head, which also woke him up, "It hurts so much... ah, ah, ah, ah!".
After all, he is a weapon man, and the samurai sword has been shown before.
The weapon man was hit by the ability of the curse devil Kas, and he did not die afterward.
Denji, naturally, needs no further explanation, but he did not completely transform into a chainsaw man.
"I didn't complete the full chainsaw transformation, probably due to lack of blood."
Quanxi looked at Denji and said calmly.
So that was it. Just now, Denji was hit by Kas's ability, although he did not die.
But he also splattered a lot of blood.
So I know that Denji can't transform into a full chainsaw man now.
However, Aki Hayakawa drew his weapon and prepared for Quanxi.
"Let's stop fighting for now."
Quanxi then said, "The devils are not in a normal condition."
Aki Hayakawa noticed that both the opponent's devils and his own were not in a normal condition at that moment.
"Why? Why did you come?"
Pingtsi repeated the phrase in a panic.
The dragon fiend was screaming "Ahhhhhhh!"
Power, always active, also fell to the ground with a look of despair.
"Ahh! It's so uncomfortable, so uncomfortable, so uncomfortable!"
The Violence Fiend also lay on the ground and shouted.
"What's wrong, Mr. Violence?" Koji asked with concern.
"Angel! Do you know where this is?"
Aki Hayakawa looked at the stunned angel and said.
However, the angel said, "We've lost... This is hell, the breath of hell."
"Although it's hard to believe, it seems we've been affected by some kind of devil power and have fallen into hell."
"Pingtsi, is there a way out?"
Quanxi, still looking calm, asked the panicked Pingtsi.
However, Pingtsi said at that moment, "Quanxi... I'm going crazy...".
"He's been watching us..."
"There's... a sinister devil watching us."
Everyone panicked upon hearing her.
"He's far away... he's worse... worse than the gun devil!"
"Those devils that people consider the fear in their hearts are watching us..."
Pingtsi's words shocked everyone.
Devils stronger than the gun devil... what else could there be?
Death?
War?
Or... fear or hell itself?
"They're on another level! They've never known death..."
"If... if they're hostile to us, we'll die in an instant!".
Pingtsi's psychological defense collapsed, and she even asked Quanxi to kill herself.
However, Quanxi gently rebuked her, "Stupid! I'll find a way!".
But at that moment... "It's over! It's over!"
Pingtsi screamed in horror, "He's coming! He's coming!".
"Darkness Devil!".
This is... the Darkness Devil! Sakura was very curious. She had also been afraid of the dark since she was a child.
And there are undoubtedly many humans who are afraid of the dark! In the short history of human civilization, which is only 10,000 years, only about 100 years have passed since humans used electricity to subvert the night.
The fear of the dark has been deeply ingrained in human genes for the past 10,000 years.
So the Darkness Devil is undoubtedly more powerful than the Gun Devil, there is no doubt about that.
But how strong is he?
As one of the doors in the sky opened, a shadow appeared before everyone.
Then... "Splash!".
The shadow fell to the ground like ink.
Aki Hayakawa and the others were ready, while Power and the other devils screamed in fear.
However, in front of Aki Hayakawa and the others, the image of an astronaut putting his hands together and praying appeared.
And the next image was even more shocking!
I saw the upper and lower bodies of the astronauts separated, and the astronauts, with only their upper bodies, put their hands together and prayed to their lower bodies in front of them.
Seeing this image, Sakura felt an unprecedented shock.
Astronauts represent the most advanced technology of humanity, but at that moment they pray "superstitiously" with their hands clasped.
The darkness fills them with unknowns and fears.
In this desperate and dark environment, they can only helplessly begin "superstitious" prayers for themselves.
It is possible that this image seems too shocking at first glance.
Countless manga fans saw it at that moment, and they only thought:
"The old rogue Silverhand is a genius!".
How did he come up with this composition! It's a masterpiece and a shock to the soul!
And the manga suddenly gave the praying astronauts a dark scene behind them. That's why they prayed for this...
How is it possible that this empty darkness doesn't scare people?
Aki Hayakawa and his group were still waiting, but the next instant, with the croak of a frog, the demonic figure at the end of the image of the astronauts praying with their hands clasped appeared right behind them!
The Darkness Devil! He officially debuted! In an instant, everyone, humans, devils, or fiends, regardless of their strength, their arms and hands flew through the air! They didn't have time to react! This was enough to demonstrate the power of the Darkness Devil!
After all, this is one of the fears most deeply rooted in human genes! This kind of fundamental devil is so powerful that not even the Gun Devil or the Chainsaw Devil can be its opponents!
But at that moment, Torik, turned into a puppet... No, it should be said that Santa Claus manipulated Torik to tell the Darkness Devil, "According to the contract, I brought the heart of the Chainsaw Man."
He looked at the burly and powerful Darkness Devil in front of him and continued, "So, please give me...".
"The power to kill Makima."
Aki Hayakawa and Denji looked at him in surprise upon hearing his words.
"You... what are you talking about? You, uncle!"
Denji, furious, scolded him.
However, the scene suddenly returned to the moment when the man in the military coat and the Santa Claus puppet met.
Upon leaving, the man in the military coat left a piece of paper on the spot.
Santa Claus spread out the white paper and saw three lines:
"Makima can hear our voices."
"The end of the world is coming."
"Kill Makima."
"Why... does everyone want to kill Makima?" asked Sakura, very curious upon seeing this.
Not only did the villains want to kill Makima, but even Kishibe, a member of the public safety devil hunters, wanted to join forces with Quanxi to kill Makima first...
and now even Denji, who was supposed to be Santa Claus's target, had become a bargaining chip in exchange for the power to kill Makima?
Sakura was even more curious to know what kind of existence Makima was.
How could she, being "human," be feared by all the major forces?
