Chapter 258: The Fans' Wrath
Under Makima's gaze, Denji began to express his thoughts.
"If I hadn't stopped Aki then, a lot of people could have died, so I killed him."
"But when I calmed down and thought about it, maybe there was a better way."
"If I hadn't been so stupid, maybe Aki wouldn't have died..."
Denji began to blame himself for everything.
This distressed the fans, who shouted, "Denji, this isn't your fault, it's that evil Makima's fault!"
However, the manga version of Denji even went so far as to say, "And if I hadn't become friends with Aki, even if I had killed him, I wouldn't be as sad as I am now...".
But these words, spoken aloud, were even more heartbreaking...
Denji used to say that he wouldn't feel sad even if someone he loved died in front of him.
Now he had taken the initiative to confess his sadness...
So, after sharing his problems, Denji told Makima, "Since that's the case, I'll listen to you, Makima. That way I won't have to worry about anything...".
"...and I won't get tired," asked Makima, apparently bewildered. "Really?".
Denji made a "yes" gesture.
"My dog has to obey me, huh?" added Makima.
Seeing Denji make a gesture of approval, Makima smiled.
Then, she began to give Denji orders like a dog trainer, and Denji, like a pet dog, obeyed her orders, extending his hand, lying down, and accepting caresses.
Denji had an expression of satisfaction.
But the manga fans couldn't help but grit their teeth at this scene.
Denji, oh, Denji, it was this evil woman who killed Aki Hayakawa. How could you let this evil woman play such a dirty trick on you like a dog? But just then...
"Ding Dong—"
Makima's doorbell rang.
"Ah... here she comes," said Makima cheerfully. "I just called Power."
"Why Power?" asked Denji, somewhat bewildered.
The fans were also confused... What would Makima do?
"Dogs shouldn't think too much..." said Makima.
Denji smiled and barked. He really didn't want to think too much right now.
He just had to be Makima's dog... that was all.
"Come on, let's go greet her together," said Makima, extending her hand to Denji with a smile.
Immediately, Denji took Makima's hand and led her to the door.
But then...
"Denji will open the door..." said Makima suddenly. "I will kill Power."
"Woof..."
Denji barked like a dog, but then he felt that something was wrong. "Mmm?"
As Makima and Denji passed by a painting of Milton's Paradise Lost, all the fans got goosebumps.
"Denji! What are you doing?!" shouted Yuka, feeling like she was going crazy.
However, Denji followed Makima to the door.
He finally realized what was happening and asked, "What...? Huh? Huh... What, Makima? What did you just say?".
"Huh?".
"Are you kidding?" asked Denji, with a drop of sweat running down his face. "Makima?".
"Go ahead... Denji."
But then Makima turned, looking at him with her distinctive yellow, circular pupils, and said:
"Denji...".
"Don't open it."
The dream scene reappeared before Denji's eyes.
"Open it quickly...".
But in reality, Makima was saying, "Denji, open the door quickly!".
This time, all the fans knew that Pochita was right.
Don't open the door! No way!
They were terribly anxious, wishing they could enter the manga and prevent Denji from opening the door.
However, at that moment, Makima hugged Denji's head and whispered in his ear, "You don't have to think about anything, just trust me?".
Denji's eyes filled with hesitation.
Because just now... he had said he wanted to be Makima's dog, and to be one, he had to obey her words.
Besides... Makima is such a good person, she has such a good brain, how could she kill Power?
So it was just a joke... It must be...
Then, Denji slowly approached the doorknob, and the narration conveyed his thoughts of the moment.
'As soon as I open the door... I see Power smiling...'.
"Fireworks, and then holding a cake in one hand... huh?"
"Why a cake?"
"Ah... Speaking of which, isn't it my birthday tomorrow?"
Denji finally opened the door and saw Power outside, holding a birthday cake.
"Denji..."
Power looked at Denji, calling his name, but he seemed a little scared.
"Ah... uh..."
Denji was speechless, with a cold sweat on his face.
But then...
"Bang!"
Makima extended her right hand in front of Denji, making a gesture like a gun.
In the next scene, the upper part of Power's body disappeared at Makima's command! Only the lower part and the head were left floating in the air. A large hole appeared in the wall behind him, and blood gushed out.
"Huh?!".
All the fans' eyes widened... Was Power murdered just like that? Are you kidding? Now it was the fans who thought it was a joke.
A key and popular female character was killed in a single blow by Makima, without any warning.
You... are you crazy?!
While Ren has been called a mental patient countless times before, Power's death has clearly made fans believe that his mental illness has worsened.
Otherwise... would such a plot be drawn?
Power died... and she died in this way.
The fans can't even cry right now.
Why... why did the plot turn out this way?
Denji was speechless after Power's death, still stunned, as he followed Makima back to her house.
Witnessing Power's death, he treated it like a dream.
After all... in Denji's mind, Makima was a good woman, a righteous public safety devil hunter.
It's as if someone who had always been an excellent student, a brilliant student, praised by all and a goddess in everyone's eyes, was suddenly called a murderer.
How can you believe this? Furthermore... Makima killed her best friend and partner, Power.
But just as Denji was asking Makima if all this was a dream... Makima collapsed into his arms, laughing so uncontrollably that she almost cried.
"Ha, ah, I'm dying of laughter!"
Makima laughed for a long time before stopping. Then she ordered Denji, "Take off your shirt."
While Denji was still perplexed, Makima spoke again in a terrifying voice, "Do you hear me?".
Denji's face was full of fear, but he could no longer control his body. He obeyed Makima's order, took off his shirt, and revealed the engine lever.
He had been dominated by Makima...
Everyone's faces reflected despair, even Denji was dominated by Makima...
Makima lay in Denji's arms, extending a finger to touch the lever on his chest and began to tell him everything she had done.
"Pochita gave you his heart so you could live a normal life."
"This was not an agreement between you two, it was a contract," continued Makima, in front of Denji's horrified gaze. "I have thought about how to break your contract."
"How can I make it impossible for you to recover, so that you can never live a normal life again?"
"This is no easy task. After all, the days you spent with Pochita were enough to make you happy."
The fans were furious with Makima's words in the manga.
It turned out that all of this was Makima's plan.
"So the first step is to let you experience true happiness."
"I will give you a job, I will pay you a salary, I will feed you all the delicious food, and I will surround you with people who can become part of your family."
The scene showed Makima's dogs, and she treated Denji as one of them, providing him with comfortable living conditions, delicious dog food, and even a companion, like a dog.
"Just as I imagined, Aki has become a good brother to you."
"Power has become a younger sister who needs your care," said Makima with the cruelest understatement. "When you get used to this happiness, I will destroy it completely."
"From now on, any happiness that Denji experiences, whether ordinary or extraordinary..."
"I gave it all to you, and I will destroy it completely."
"Even if you cheer up and make new friends, I will kill them immediately."
"Even if you get married and have children, your wife and children will not live long," Makima's words were chilling.
All of this was Makima's plan. She gave Denji what he cherished with ease, and then took it away with the same ease.
She would even mercilessly deprive him of his future happiness!
It was truly... infuriating!
"I'm going to kill you! Makima! You bastard! You evil woman!"
At that moment, even Professor Kenji Tanaka, a professor, couldn't help but look at her with murderous intent.
Not to mention the other anime fans.
They were eager to get into the manga and tear Makima, the evil woman, to pieces.
There was no redemption for such an evil villain.
A simple death would not satisfy the fans.
They wanted Makima to die horribly!
The torture of being torn apart by five horses, burned with irons, dismembered, executed by a thousand cuts... It would be best if Makima suffered each and every one of these tortures!
