The 46th chapter of Chainsaw Man unleashes Reze on the 2nd Division, where a mold trap and a swallowing Devil both fail to halt her rampage; she tears through the hunters and corners Aki's getaway while clutching two severed heads.
Summary
Before Reze can land a blow, the hunters Kato and Tanabe channel a Devil's power to bloom mold through her heart and intestines, buckling her as she coughs blood. They warn that the growth keeps spreading even when she heals, intending only to delay her until it eats her alive. Reze answers by blasting her own head off, then has her still-twitching torso fling that head at the pair; as it utters Boom, it erupts and reshapes into the finished Bomb Hybrid.
Key Events
With the hunters reeling from the attack, the torso barrels in; Nomo calls on the Fox Devil to halt it, but it slips past, seizes him, and detonates. Corpses mount as the rebuilt Reze guns down the survivors, and though Nomo lives through the blast and lunges again, she slips every strike. The 2nd Division Lieutenant summons Kon to gulp her down, yet Kon vanishes instantly and her rampage rolls on. Meanwhile Aki preps the car to whisk the Angel Devil, Denji, and Beam clear, telling the Angel Devil to grudgingly feed Denji blood while a hazy premonition from the Future Devil gnaws at him. Just before the engine turns over, Reze plants herself in front of the car, gripping the heads she has ripped from Nomo and the Lieutenant.
Notes

Kato, Tanabe, Nomo, and Masaki Ando die during the assault, while the Mold Devil, Fox Devil, and Future Devil appear in mention or use.
