Inside the Supernatural Research Club.
Lynn carefully examined the blessing information that had appeared on the backs of Yukinoshita Yukino and Yuigahama Yui.
As expected, they had been reincarnated as Low-Class Devils.
His gaze shifted to Yukino's blessing details.
Finally, another Special Devil.
Lynn raised his hand, a faint frost forming at his fingertips, rotating gently.
A new offensive technique.
Not bad.
---
Lynn then copied their blessing details and handed them over.
After Yukino and Yui finished getting dressed, they looked at the blessing information with some confusion. Seeing this, Lynn had Shiina Mahiru explain it to them.
A moment later—
Realization dawned on them.
So, reincarnating as a Devil was just the first step into the supernatural. Becoming part of Lynn's Familia was only the beginning!
Blessings… leveling up… and awakening new abilities!
Yui felt a rush of excitement.
She had finally obtained supernatural powers!
Haunted by Curses? Not anymore!
Even Yukino, who was usually calm and collected, couldn't suppress her emotions.
She had made the right choice!
Joining the Supernatural Research Club and becoming part of Lynn's Familia—It was the best decision she had ever made!
Yukino let out a small sigh, a rare trace of warmth in her voice.
She had finally taken a step in the right direction.
"Thank you, President."
Without hesitation, Yukino lowered her head in gratitude, expressing her deepest appreciation to Lynn.
Seeing this, Yui quickly followed suit, mimicking Yukino's gesture as she thanked Lynn as well.
After that, the two couldn't resist the urge to test out their newfound abilities.
"Wow, Yukino! You actually turned into an Ice Devil!"
Yui watched in awe as Yukino waved her hand, causing delicate snowflakes to dance in the air. Her eyes filled with admiration.
Compared to that, all she had was a single ability—Harmonizer.
Its only function was to create a Bond Barrier based on the level of trust between team members.
Yui let out a sigh, feeling a little disappointed.
Seeing her reaction, Yukino withdrew her icy display, opening her mouth as if to say something—but ultimately, she remained silent, unsure how to comfort her.
Lynn had said that reincarnating as a Special Devil was based on probability. Yukino had simply been lucky.
Still, Yui only stayed dejected for a brief moment before quickly perking up again.
Even if she hadn't become a Special Devil, just being a Devil was more than enough!
She clenched her fists and reignited her fighting spirit.
Seeing this, Yukino subtly relaxed.
She didn't want Yui to feel burdened or unbalanced over something like this.
Once they had settled their emotions, Lynn spoke up, "Right now, the Familia has two world dungeons for grinding experience. You two should try them out."
Lynn didn't recruit members just to let them laze around.
If they joined, they had to contribute.
Grind. Level up.
Only through continuous effort could they provide him with better returns!
"Dungeons?"
Yukino and Yui exchanged confused glances.
Noticing their uncertainty, Mahiru stepped in to explain once again.
A little while later—
The two girls were completely dumbfounded.
"N… new worlds?"
They could hardly believe what they were hearing.
Becoming Devils and receiving blessings was already shocking enough.
And now, they were being told that the Familia had control over two separate worlds!?
Lynn, unfazed by their stunned expressions, leaned on his chin and asked, "So, do you want to start by fighting Zombies, or would you rather take on Gastrea?"
The two fell silent, analyzing their options.
Fighting Zombies would be relatively simple—they weren't particularly strong, and combat experience wasn't necessary. Given their newfound powers, dealing with them would be easy.
Gastrea, on the other hand, were far more unpredictable. There were various types, some much harder to deal with. One wrong move, and they could easily find themselves overwhelmed.
As they hesitated, Lynn suddenly suggested, "Or, how about exorcising Curses first?"
"Curses?!"
Yukino and Yui instantly snapped their heads up, eyes wide in shock.
Then, without hesitation, an eager fire burned in their eyes.
They had suffered at the hands of Curses for far too long!
Seeing their obvious enthusiasm, Lynn understood their choice immediately.
"Mahiru, call Miko back. Have her train the newcomers."
Lynn had no intention of personally training them.
When it came to dealing with Curses, Miko was the expert.
Now that the Familia had grown significantly, he wasn't about to handle everything himself. That's what subordinates were for.
While waiting for Miko to arrive, Lynn casually asked, "So, what about your Service Club?"
Yukino and Yui suddenly froze.
Oh… right…
They had completely forgotten about that.
After thinking for a moment, Yukino replied, "We'll follow your decision, President."
Lynn nodded. "Then keep it running as a sub-division of the Supernatural Research Club."
Shuchiin Academy had no shortage of talented individuals, and the Service Club could serve as a potential recruitment channel.
Who knew? Maybe they'd discover more promising candidates there.
"Yes."
Yukino let out a quiet sigh of relief.
Since she was the one who had originally founded the Service Club, she was happy that it could continue.
Of course, if Lynn had ordered its dissolution, she wouldn't have hesitated to comply.
Not long after, Miko—having received the summons—arrived at the clubroom.
The three of them then set off together.
As they walked, Yukino's expression turned a little complicated.
"What's wrong, Yukino?" Yui asked, tilting her head in curiosity.
Yukino shook her head. "It's just that... this isn't quite what I expected."
After all, she had assumed this was more of a harem situation.
Yotsuya Miko immediately confirmed her thoughts. "Well, technically, all of the Familia members are part of Master's harem."
Yukino was momentarily stunned by how straightforward that was.
"Then... why...?"
Why hadn't anything happened?
The only thing he had done was make them take off their tops during the reincarnation ritual.
…That's it?
Now that she thought about it, Yukino didn't even consider that to be a big deal anymore.
She still felt a little embarrassed, but since it had already happened, what was there to worry about?
Before joining the Supernatural Research Club, she had even mentally prepared herself for something much more extreme.
Even the part about removing clothes—she had convinced herself that it was just a standard procedure for the reincarnation ritual.
But in the end…Nothing happened.
Why?
Miko pursed her lips before saying, "Because there are waytoo many people trying to get into Master's bed already."
Yukino: "...?"
Yui: "???"
Both of them were completely dumbfounded, their brains momentarily shutting down.
Miko gave them a knowing glance and added solemnly, "Even I'm still waiting in line, so you two new recruits better be prepared to queue up behind me."
She wasn't about to let these newcomers cut in line.
Yukino and Yui exchanged glances and swallowed nervously.
The competition in the Familia... was insanely fierce!

One Week Later—Black Bullet World
With an army of devil lolis overwhelming the battlefield—and with occasional interference from Lynn himself—humanity had suffered a complete defeat.
Many humans had either perished or been infected by the Gastrea Virus.
Meanwhile, Lynn's Familia had gained nearly three million Cursed Children.
After officially integrating them into the Familia, his level had skyrocketed.
In fact, Lynn had already broken through to the Satan (Maou) level when his Familia reached the one-million mark.
At this point, reincarnating more low-class Devils didn't provide him with much feedback anymore.
But he still chose to reincarnate the remaining Cursed Children into his Familia.
First, it completely eliminated the Gastrea Virus in their bodies.
Second, there was always the slim chance that some of them might be reborn as special Devils.
And third, they were valuable additions to his ever-growing forces.
In the future, when he encountered another world in need of manpower, he could simply deploy the devil Loli Army.
Plus, diversifying the talents within his Familia was always a good thing.
For example, some of them could specialize in forging, research, or magic studies...
Also, Lynn attempted to install an additional Gastrea Factor in them, but all of them failed.
Except for one.
Tina Sprout, now a Mid-Class Devil, successfully received a second Gastrea Factor.
From this, Lynn theorized that the number of Gastrea Factors a Devil could possess was tied to their strength.
Low-Class Devils could only handle one.
Mid-Class Devils could handle two.
And theoretically, each rank-up would allow them to gain one more.
Aside from the mass reincarnation, Lynn also gained two new talents: Shiba Miori and Muroto Sumire.
He embedded Devil's Pieces into both of them.

Although neither of them were special Devils, their abilities were incredibly valuable.
They were the perfect candidates to manage the devil Loli Army.
As usual, Lynn installed a Gastrea Factor buff on both of them.
"You're all set," he said, handing them their Falna reports.
Without waiting for questions, he simply left.
"If you have doubts, just ask the other Familia members."
After Lynn left, Miori and Sumire both let out a deep breath.
The sheer speed at which their world had changed was dizzying.
Everything felt unfamiliar.
And the fact that they were now in...The devil Headquarters?!
Both of them flapped their new devil wings, feeling an odd sense of surrealism.
---
Meanwhile, in a quiet space, Lynn finally took a moment for himself.
He pulled up his personal status panel.
[Lynn Valifer]
Race: Devil
Rank:Satan-Class
Authority: None
Familia Members: Utaha, Miko, Saeko, Shizuka, Mahiru…...
Skills: "Devil's Piece," "Devil's Contract,"....
Lynn's Familia was expanding at an exponential rate.
And soon, he would have an army strong enough to rival entire worlds.
