Main World – Japan's Hell.
Inside the hut.
Saito Furofushi lay on her stomach on the wooden bed, her back exposed.
She had read the manual and understood the reincarnation process, but...
She still grumbled, "Why does this so-called reincarnation ceremony require me to take off my clothes...?"
Lynn didn't respond. He simply raised his hand, condensed an Evil Piece, and approached her.
Feeling Lynn's growing aura, Saito Furofushi tried to act nonchalant, but she couldn't suppress her nervousness.
"Hey! Don't try anything weird just because you've got the chance!"
Lynn was speechless.
She was already part of his Peerage. Everything of hers belonged to him, yet she was still worried about something like this?
Besides...
Lynn glanced at her and curled his lips, disinterested.
"I'm not into child-sized bodies."
"!"
Saito's eyes widened in disbelief. "Child?!"
She couldn't let that slide. She sat up, turned around to face Lynn, puffed out her chest, and put her hands on her hips.
"Who are you calling a child?!"
She slapped her chest several times, producing a series of crisp smacks.
Lynn: "…"
He glanced at the modest curve, then nodded with a complicated look. "Well, definitely better, barely."
"?"
Just barely better?!
Saito wanted to argue, but before she could say anything, she suddenly felt herself being lifted off the bed.
Looking up at Lynn with a puzzled expression, she was promptly turned back around and pressed down again.
The next moment.
A cold sensation touched her back, making her shiver.
Then…
A power completely different from spiritual pressure surged into her body!
Buzz—!
Her spiritual pressure and magic began to intertwine, the energy inside her body boiling and surging violently.
But...
What surprised Saito was...
Despite being entirely different types of energy, there was no rejection or collapse.
Instead, they merged seamlessly.
Saito had a guess.
Within her body, the Evil Piece shone brightly.
Evil Piece...
Saito silently recited the name.
Maybe it was this piece that made it possible.
Also...
Even though she had been reincarnated as a devil...
Her core traits as a Soul Reaper remained.
In other words...
She now possessed both the powers of a Soul Reaper and a devil?
And not just that...
There were many other strange new things inside her.
Saito Furofushi carefully examined the changes in her body.
At the same time, a system notification rang in Lynn's ears.
[Ding! You have obtained the immortality of Peerage Member: Saito Furofushi!]
[Ding! Your Peerage Member, Saito Furofushi, has been reincarnated as a Special-Type Devil!]
Lynn's gaze remained on her glowing back.
A burst of light flashed, followed by an information panel appearing before him.

Lynn read through her Blessing details.
The first thing he noticed was her Zanpakuto - Blood-Devouring Shigure.
Hmm...
Just based on its effects, it perfectly fit Saito's immortality theme.
Then he focused on the main trait.
Undead Devil.
Lynn repeated the name in his mind.
Just the word "undead" made his expectations rise.
Sure enough...
The first trait was Super-Speed Regeneration.
Ordinary devils could use magic to heal, but the effect was limited.
That's why healing magic and artifacts existed.
But now...
With this ability, Lynn's survival tools had stepped up another level.
Of course, with his current power, even in the main world, few could pose a threat.
Still, it was better to be prepared.
He wouldn't always be in the main world.
If Devil's Summoning pulled him into an even more dangerous world, he'd have more options.
Besides that, the other abilities were impressive too.
Hmm...
Numerological Grafting reminded Lynn of Hidan from Naruto.
But...
This was far more refined.
She wouldn't harm herself. She could transfer the damage to others or even the surrounding environment.
That was insane.
Transferring damage to the environment?
Just imagining Saito in combat was enough to paint a terrifying picture.
Of course...
It still required magic.
After copying her profile, Lynn lightly tapped her back.
"?"
Saito snapped out of her trance, having been absorbed in analyzing her new body.
Lynn handed her the Blessing information.
"Undead Devil, huh?"
So this...
Was the true change in her body?
Reading through the ability description, a look of realization crossed Saito's face.
That vague, hazy feeling in her mind vanished.
Although...
Was the name of the skill derived from her name?
Her expression turned a little odd.
Once she familiarized herself with her new powers, Lynn said, "Let's go to the new Hell."
"Huh?"
Saito blinked, then grabbed Lynn's clothes anxiously. "But if someone like me, who escaped from Hell, gets discovered..."
Before she could finish, Lynn raised his hand and interrupted her.
"Hell is mine now. I make the rules."
Saito Furofushi: "???"
