In their stunning revelation, Barem disclosed that the church's fabrication had resulted in a remarkable alliance with contractors who possessed lucrative contracts, all courtesy of an exceptionally powerful devil. Astonishingly, further investigation uncovered that the source behind this surplus of contracts was none other than the notorious fire devil.
Following the Chainsaw Man church, all its followers began sprouting chainsaws from their foreheads, mirroring Denji's transformation.
Moreover, Barem disclosed to Denji that this remarkable change was a result of the mass marriages conducted at 5 pm in both the Chinese and Canadian branches of the church. Furthermore, these unions enabled 350,000 individuals to simultaneously hold contracts with the fire devil.
Barem confidently claimed that the dreaded "Great King of Terror" would soon descend upon the world, and he and Fami were determined to safeguard humanity by vanquishing this self-proclaimed king. Initially skeptical, Denji dismissed it as a sham, but Nayuta reassured him that all of it was undeniably real. Moreover, Fami could sense the imminent arrival of the King of Terror, who happened to be their sister, the indomitable Death Devil.
Nayuta then concludes that Fami's strategy involved unleashing heinous acts to instill fear in people and make them dread the Chainsaw Man and War Devil. The ultimate goal of this plan was to strengthen these entities by pitting them against the formidable War Devil.
Final Thoughts
The latest installment of Chainsaw Man, chapter 146, finally unveiled the long-awaited main antagonist for Part 2. The strategic actions taken by Yoshida against Asa were justified once the plans were disclosed. Although the chapter concluded before fully unraveling the extent of the fire devil's abilities, it did provide some insight into the enigmatic Chainsaw Man church.
