In a quiet room, the sound of clothing slipping to the ground was clearly audible.
Yoruichi stood completely bare, one hand on her waist as she confidently displayed her flawless body before Lynn.
Lynn's red eyes slowly scanned her from head to toe. Her bronze skin was tight and toned, glowing with vitality, while her alluring curves shimmered with temptation.
Noticing Lynn's interest in her body, Yoruichi tilted her chin up with a smirk playing at her lips. In a husky voice, she said, "So? Interested in getting a little taller?"
Lynn raised an eyebrow, a half-smile on his face. "Whether I've grown taller or not, you can confirm it yourself."
Yoruichi's expression twitched slightly.
This man was definitely not some bashful kid…
Realizing that her teasing had no effect on him, Yoruichi simply turned around, presenting her bare back to him.
Inwardly, she was anticipating Lynn inserting his piece.
Without hesitation, Lynn condensed the [Evil Piece] and pressed it into Yoruichi's smooth back.
"Haa…"
The moment the [Evil Piece] entered her body, Yoruichi's breathing grew heavy. A tearing sensation surged through her body.
But soon, that feeling vanished, replaced by a powerful warmth rushing through her.
Boom, boom!
Her heartbeat accelerated, and she felt her blood begin to boil.
At the same time, the system's notification echoed in Lynn's mind.
[Ding! You have acquired Peerage member: Yoruichi!]
[Ding! Your Peerage member Yoruichi has been reincarnated as a Special-Class Devil!]
Lynn narrowed his eyes as he stared at Yoruichi's back.
A flash of brilliant light shimmered, and a newly awakened blessing appeared before him.

Lynn took one glance at Yoruichi's status screen and copied the data down.
Then, without warning, he gave her firm backside a sharp slap. "That's enough."
Yoruichi's body flinched reflexively. She hadn't expected him to strike her.
She bit her lip and threw Lynn a side glance, then looked down to read the status message herself.
Still, if one looked closely, they could see that her eyes seemed slightly dazed.
As if her heart was floating somewhere far away.
Her pulse raced, and a burning sensation lingered on her backside.
She couldn't focus.
She also realized something—this body of hers still had quite the charm to Lynn.
Otherwise, that slap wouldn't have landed.
Waves surged within her heart. After a few minutes, she managed to calm down and focused fully on her newly granted status.
Yoruichi studied the information from top to bottom with great seriousness.
She finally stopped at the section labeled [Innate Skills].
The listed skills didn't particularly draw her attention.
After all, most of them were just systemized representations of abilities she already possessed.
In fact, she had far more skills than what was shown.
Her gaze continued downward, and finally settled on the skill [Shadow Devil].
This is…
An additional ability gained from reincarnating as a devil?
Yoruichi narrowed her eyes, then acted on instinct.
Flash Step!
Buzz—
In the blink of an eye, Yoruichi's figure vanished like a shadow skipping through space, instantly reappearing behind Lynn.
She paused, eyes flashing with surprise.
This speed…
Far beyond her previous limits!
Her Flash Step had already been unmatched across the entire Soul Society.
But now…
It had been enhanced even further?
Flash God's Blessing!
This buff was insanely powerful…
Yoruichi clicked her tongue lightly and studied the details more carefully.
Threefold increase…
And no restrictions?
Damn…
While the skill itself sounded simple, its potential was monstrous.
And this was just in her normal state…
If she activated Instant Coaxing Mode.
Tch—
Unfathomable speed!
A flicker of excitement danced in her eyes.
With this…
Doesn't it mean she can beat up anyone she wants in Soul Society?
Well…
Maybe not Old Man Yamamoto just yet.
Yeah…
Let's not count him for now.
Even though her power had been boosted, Yoruichi still didn't feel confident in facing Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni.
After all…
That old man's strength had been honed for thousands of years.
Temporarily shelving the thought of yanking his beard, Yoruichi continued to examine her internal changes.
The [Shadow Devil] effect was powerful, but…
That wasn't what caught her attention the most.
She clenched her fists, feeling a lightness deep within her core.
The strength that had been stagnant was growing again.
What stood out most was the rising spiritual pressure!
It was a slow climb, but unmistakable!
Moreover…
Besides spiritual pressure, there was also another unfamiliar energy coursing through her body.
It had to be…
That devilish power?
The "magic" displayed under the Blessing system?
Yoruichi raised her finger.
Whoosh—
A faint golden stream of magical energy flickered into existence.
She stared at this power, so clearly distinct from spiritual pressure, with curiosity.
She wanted to study the difference firsthand.

Elsewhere, while Yoruichi was still exploring her body's changes, Lynn was also summarizing the gains he'd made from bringing her into his Peerage.
The invasion level of the World of the Soul Reapers had increased.
But only slightly.
In the space of the [Evil Piece], a new slot had been created specifically for Yoruichi's piece.
And for now, hers stood alone.
He suspected this was a dedicated area for those from the Soul Reaper world.
With that thought, several figures flashed through his mind.
Matsumoto Rangiku, Kuchiki Rukia, Inoue Orihime…
Yeah—
There really were a lot of top-tier individuals in the Soul Reaper world.
It felt like his Peerage was about to experience another round of powerful recruits.
Of course…
It wasn't like he could gather three million members overnight like he had in the Black Bullet world.
However…
In terms of quality, the Peerage members from the Soul Reaper world were outstanding.
Thinking this over, Lynn returned to evaluating his gains.
The biggest gain was…
Probably the complete inheritance of the Soul Reaper's power system?
Such as Zanjutsu, Hakuda, Kido, and Shunpo.
While it might not boost him much directly right now, for his Peerage, it was another powerful set of skills to master.
—
A little while later…
When Urahara Kisuke saw Yoruichi and Lynn emerge from the same room, a flicker of surprise flashed through his eyes.
Then…
His eyes narrowed sharply.
Yoruichi's aura…
Had changed.
What did they do in there?
Yoruichi caught the subtle look of inquiry in Kisuke's gaze. A mischievous glint flashed in her eyes as she smirked.
Then—
Flash Step!
With the [Shadow Devil] boost, her speed showed no visible warning as she disappeared instantly.
Kisuke's pupils shrank, then he suddenly felt a hand land firmly on his shoulder.
Kisuke: "…"
Yoruichi's speed had increased again!
But—
She couldn't do this just two days ago!
Was it because of Lynn?
Kisuke instinctively made the connection.
What exactly happened during the time Yoruichi and Lynn were alone together?
—
Yoruichi, satisfied by the stunned look on Kisuke's face, gave a smug smile.
Then she asked, "Kisuke, is the Garganta to Hueco Mundo open?"
Kisuke paused, a strange expression flickering on his face.
You…
Why are you suddenly asking about that?
Obviously—
Now she was one of Lynn's Peerage members.
Kisuke didn't quite understand, but…
A bad feeling started to form in his chest.
Could it be… this woman with the bold brows had really betrayed the organization?
He shook his head and replied, "Same as before. The Garganta is already open."
Then he looked at Lynn and hesitated slightly. "So…"
Lynn's expression remained calm as he replied, "In that case, let's go."
