Chapter 259: Contract Hero and Disappearance
Makima even revealed the secret that Denji had kept for so long...
Denji's father did not commit suicide; he killed him himself.
Denji's dream reappeared, and the young Denji stood before that door, which slowly opened.
Behind that door in his heart, which Denji had never opened, lay his father's body...
"He got drunk and tried to beat you to death, so you had no choice but to kill him... right?"
Makima crouched next to the young Denji, uttering the cruelest words. "But the others thought they would lose the money they were owed, so they made it up as a suicide."
She smiled at Denji. "The closed door has finally opened..."
"You helped me kill Power, and you killed Aki, who might have had a chance to be saved..."
"And you killed your own father..."
"People like that don't deserve a normal life, do they?"
Seeing Makima's irritating face, the fans became more and more enraged, their hearts about to burst with anger.
"No!" Yuka shouted at the manga. "Denji! Don't believe her! Go to hell, Makima!"
It wasn't like that at all... it wasn't Denji's fault.
It was all that evil woman's fault...
Denji simply wanted to survive, so he killed his scoundrel of a father.
And Aki Hayakawa was also manipulated by Makima to become a gun fiend, and was forced to seek him out.
Power was also killed by Makima...
Clearly, it was all that evil woman Makima's fault!
The fans were furious, their hatred for Makima overflowing.
How could such a despicable, such an imbecilic person exist?
Ahhhhhh! Such an evil woman deserves to be shot a thousand times, ten thousand times! However, Denji, in the manga, became more and more frustrated by Makima's words and finally lowered his head...
"Mmm."
Denji finally became motionless on the sofa, as if he had become Makima's puppet.
Makima, on the other hand, was having breakfast surrounded by her dog, as if nothing had happened.
Denji... had completely broken down, and with him his contract with Pochita.
But then, Makima led Denji, now turned into a puppet, to a building.
Inside, Makima introduced Denji's followers, past and present, including the now-retired Beam, the Violence Fiend, Power, and even the Angel Devil.
But they did not come back to life. Instead, they were crouched on the floor, as if meeting their master.
"These are your followers," said Makima, walking Denji like a dog. "Although their beliefs differ from mine, they have all risked their lives to protect you."
Finally, she smiled, "Everyone has been waiting for this day of resurrection...".
But just then, the explosion of a rocket directly hit the building, interrupting Makima's words.
It was Kishibe and the Public Safety Devil Hunters! This time, it was the Republic's turn to attack Makima!
After a massive explosion, Kishibe led the soldiers to capture Makima, who had been hit by a rocket.
Then, on Kishibe's order, they opened fire on her! Instantly, Makima's body was riddled with bullets.
"Awesome!" the fans applauded.
Makima, that evil woman... she deserved it!
An hour after being shot, it wouldn't be an exaggeration! Everyone cheered with joy, "My God! Pop the champagne!"
However, some remembered that Makima had been shot before, but had been revived.
Could this really kill Makima? But then,
"Anti-Makima forces, prepare!" an order came from the shore, and six members of the Public Safety Devil Hunters appeared.
"Excuse us!" they shouted, drawing their daggers viciously and slitting their throats.
"Hell Devils, help us kill Makima and take her to Hell!"
Actually... they were sacrificing their lives, summoning Hell Devils to fight Makima!
It was really... heartbreaking.
Humanity is like that; there will always be heroes willing to sacrifice themselves to save the world! And yet, Makima, under constant enemy fire, was truly revived.
"Save me, Chainsaw Man!" she shouted.
The fans shouted, "No, don't save her!"
However, Denji did not start his own engine, but... his intestines sprouted from his navel? Or was it the umbilical cord?
The umbilical cord wrapped around Denji's neck like a scarf.
Meanwhile, as the six people sacrificed their lives, a Hell Devil with the appearance of a centaur appeared behind them.
But Denji also revved his engine and transformed directly into the Chainsaw Man.
However, this time, Denji, transformed into the Chainsaw Man, was completely different from before.
He was like... more complete.
More similar to the original form of the Chainsaw Devil. Then, Denji instantly killed the Hell Devil that the Public Safety Devil Hunter had summoned, at the cost of six lives! How powerful!
Is that Denji? No, it's the Chainsaw Devil! But although the Hell Devil died instantly, a public safety devil hunter, unknown to the fans, held him tightly and poured the blood into the Hell Devil's mouth for him to recover.
"After completing the mission... then die...".
This kind of courage and responsibility is truly admirable.
The next instant, the gate of hell opened and a hand reached out, dragging Denji into hell.
On the other side, Kishibe was holding a pistol and aiming it at Makima, who now seemed to be fine.
"It's no use shooting me," said Makima calmly.
After all, she had been shot with so many bullets just a moment ago, and she was fine.
How could this small pistol in Kishibe's hand kill her? And why?
Makima then replied, "According to the contract I made with the leader of the remnants of the former dynasty, whom you hate, any attack against me will translate into illnesses or accidents for some of your citizens." The fans suddenly understood why Makima seemed immortal and was constantly resurrected.
It turned out to be thanks to this contract.
They also knew that a head of state could sign a contract with a devil on behalf of the entire nation.
This was the case with the President of the United States' contract with the Gun Devil, where he sacrificed a year of the lives of his entire nation to summon him.
Unfortunately, Makima defeated him instantly.
Now, the leader of the remnants of the former dynasty, although belonging to it, seemed to possess the power to represent the people of the Republic. He even signed a contract with Makima, granting her near-immortality.
Therefore, the Public Safety Devil Hunters, despite knowing that Makima was a Control Devil, were hesitant to attack her.
They even recruited Makima into the Public Safety Devil Hunters, making her their direct subordinate.
It was really... a thorny situation.
Who would dare to recklessly attack a devil capable of transforming attacks into illnesses and accidents among their own citizens?
Therefore, the best solution is to recruit her. As long as Makima remains on the side of humanity, on their side, nothing can happen.
But now...
Makima is clearly out of control. She is wreaking havoc, causing tragedies and devastating losses.
This is beyond the control of the higher-ups.
If Makima is allowed to continue like this, she will become a powerful devil who will dominate all of humanity!
And then, it will be the end of everyone! "That's really enviable," said Kishibe, still with his weapon in hand.
"Do you know why you're still holding your weapon?"
"I'd like to ask you why you're so calm and serene. The Chainsaw Man is already in Hell," asked Kishibe.
"I asked for his help," said Makima with a smile, "so I think he'll be back."
"Who... are you?" asked Kishibe, unable to help himself.
"Me?" Makima was perplexed, but then replied, "Well... I'm a big fan of his."
"A fan?" asked Kishibe, even more perplexed.
"The hero of Hell, the Chainsaw Man..."
In Hell, Denji, transformed into the Chainsaw Devil, fought relentlessly against various devils.
"If you cry for help, he will appear."
"The devils that come before him are torn apart by the chainsaw, and those who cry out are also torn apart.
Therefore, he is a thorn in the side of many devils and is pursued by them."
"But he always manages to revive and rise from the ashes."
Facing countless devils in Hell, the Chainsaw Devil easily defeated them all.
"Some hate him with all their might, while others stay away from him."
"Some also adore him," Makima recounted about the Chainsaw Devil.
"But there is another reason why the devils fear him so much..."
"A devil devoured by the Chainsaw Devil, even its name, is erased from this world."
After Makima revealed this terrifying power of the Chainsaw Devil, Kishibe and the manga fans were shocked.
"How can he have such power?" said Kishibe with evident disbelief.
However, Makima said, "It's normal that you can't imagine it. After all, the names of the devils he devoured have disappeared from the past, the present, and people's memory."
"Even I, who have the ability to control everything, have begun to forget their names little by little."
She also gave Kishibe an example, "Do you remember what the Nazis did to the squid?".
"Nazi?".
Kishibe had obviously completely forgotten the meaning of that name.
"Nazi, World War II, AIDS, nuclear weapons...".
Makima uttered one name after another that terrified people in the real world, and they were all names that had been devoured by the chainsaw devil and had completely disappeared from the past and the present.
