Chapter 246: Chapter 246: The Turmoil Temporarily Subsides

With that, the situation finally took a turn for the better.

"I can consider your idea, but I won’t wait too long. One month at most," the Death Devil said.

Kotone Asaba was a little surprised. He hadn’t expected the Death Devil to actually compromise. It seemed his desperate gamble just now had paid off after all.

"Fine."

Kotone nodded.

A month should be more or less enough time.

"But while I’m stuck waiting around with nothing to do, you’ll have to keep me entertained~"

The Death Devil suddenly looked at Kotone with a suggestive gleam in her eyes.

"Hm?..."

Kotone didn’t quite understand what she meant at first.

Just then, the entire world around them underwent a dramatic transformation.

Everything returned to the way it had originally been. The only exception was the humans who had already died, since their deaths could no longer be reversed. However, they would continue living in another form of existence, as the "new humans" the Death Devil had mentioned earlier, similar to the symbiotic state shared by Asa Mitaka and the War Devil.

The Devils that had been rampaging everywhere vanished in an instant as well, and the countless doors in the sky connecting the world to Hell naturally closed.

"It’s over."

Makima had heard the conversation between Kotone and the Death Devil, so she understood exactly what had happened.

Just as Makima and Fami had originally expected, Kotone had been unable to defeat the Death Devil.

But the fact that he had managed to force Death into a compromise was already far beyond their expectations.

"That method you used just now wasn’t simply your own power, was it?" Fami asked.

Naturally, she had noticed that Kotone had used the Control Devil’s ability, and she had also realized that the power involved wasn’t limited to Control alone.

Makima gave a slight nod. "Right. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have worked on Death."

"Either way, this whole disaster is temporarily over."

As she spoke, Fami put away the Falling Devil "miniature figurine."

Everything that came afterward could be left to the police and the rest of Public Safety.

Although the period from the Death Devil’s arrival until the crisis ended had been fairly brief, the casualties and destruction inflicted across the world were unimaginably severe, far surpassing even the devastation once caused by the Gun Devil.

The exact worldwide figures were still unknown, but in Japan alone, the number of casualties had already reached several hundred thousand.

If most people hadn’t obediently taken shelter, that number could easily have been several times higher.

Meanwhile, Kotone was sitting at home resting.

Only a few hours had passed since the Death Devil’s arrival.

Even though the entire world was currently in chaos, none of that had anything to do with him. Right now, he just wanted to rest.

However, aside from him, there were four other "people" sitting on the couch.

The Four Horsewomen.

Clearly, they were about to hold an important meeting.

Asa Mitaka alone looked somewhat confused and awkward, because in a gathering like this, she was basically an outsider.

Normally, Yoru should have been the one to come out, but she simply refused. She couldn’t stand Death, Famine, or Control.

At the moment, Death was sitting closest to Kotone. More accurately, she was practically pressed against him, affectionately wrapping both arms around one of his.

Anyone who didn’t know better would have assumed the two of them were passionately in love. No one would ever imagine that they had still been enemies just a few hours earlier.

Makima looked at them and said flatly, "You’re doing that on purpose, aren’t you?"

The smile on Death’s face grew even wider.

"Of course. I’m doing it on purpose~"

She was deliberately acting like this because she wanted to see how her younger sister would react.

Makima’s expression appeared completely unchanged, but the very fact that she had spoken up about it already proved that she definitely cared.
