Lynn's red eyes casually roamed up and down her bodytight, toned bronze skin, gleaming under the light, highlighting her seductive curves.
Seeing his eyes glued to her, Yoruichi tilted her chin up slightly, a sly smile tugging at her lips as she spoke in a teasing, almost ethereal tone, "Well? Isn't it good?"
Lynn raised an eyebrow, smirking. "I have to check it first."
Yoruichi's face twitched slightly.
This guy was definitely not some shy little boy.
Realizing her little trick wasn't going to work on him at all, Yoruichi simply turned around, exposing her smooth back to him.
Deep inside, she was vaguely anticipating that he would shove something inside.
Lynn looked down at her butt and his pants were suddenly protesting the lack of personal space.
Despite that, he calmed himself, formed a Devil Piece, and casually pressed it into the center of Yoruichi's back.
"Ahhh~"
The moment the Devil Piece entered her body, Yoruichi's breathing instantly turned rough, like something inside her was being stretched or torn open.
But before long, the pain faded, replaced by a rushing heat swelling up inside her.
Thump-thump!
Her heartbeat sped up, and she could feel her blood boiling in her veins.
At the same timeA sound echoed in Lynn's ears.
[Ding! You have obtained the Familia member: Shihoin Yoruichi!]
[Ding! Your Familia member Shihoin Yoruichi has reincarnated as a Special-Type Devil!]
Lynn's gaze sharpened slightly as he looked at her back.
A flash of dazzling light flickered past, and then her Blessing Information appeared in front of him.

Lynn casually skimmed through Yoruichi's Blessing Info, then copied it down.
Right after, with a smack, he gave her a firm slap on her perky butt and said, "All done."
Yoruichi's shapely body instinctively flinched.
She pursed her lips discreetly, then shot Lynn a side-eye as she took the Blessing Info sheet and looked it over.
If you looked closely, though, you'd notice her gaze was a little unfocusedlike her mind was already drifting somewhere far away.
Her heart was pounding in her chest, and she could still feel the lingering burn where he had slapped her.
She just couldn't focus properly.
At the same time, she became keenly aware that her current state was probably very attractive to Lynn.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have smacked her like that. And he was still looking at her with a heated gaze.
A ripple stirred in Yoruichi's heart. It took her several minutes to calm down and finally refocus on her Blessing Info.
Reading carefully from top to bottom, her eyes eventually stopped on the "Skills" section.
The skills listed there didn't surprise her much.
After all, they were just different presentations of abilities she had already mastered.
In fact, she had a lot more techniques up her sleeve than what was listed.
But thenHer gaze landed on one skill: Flash Devil.
This was new.
A power she had gained from becoming a devil.
Yoruichi's golden eyes narrowed slightly, and she willed it into activation.
Shunpo.
Buzz
In the blink of an eye, her figure vanished, as if tearing through space itself, and reappeared behind Lynn.
Her body froze in place, her eyes filled with a hint of shock.
This speed was way faster than before!
Before this, she was already unmatched in all of Soul Society when it came to speed.
But nowShe had gotten even faster?
Flash God Blessing!
Doubling her movement speed! And there was no visible limit?
Holy crap
On paper, it didn't look that flashy, but the potential was insane.
And that was just her normal state. If she activated Shunk on top of that.
Hisss
She couldn't even imagine how fast she would be!
Excitement flickered in Yoruichi's eyes.
NowIn the entire Soul Society, she could beat up whoever she wanted, couldn't she?
Well, except maybe Old Man Yamamoto.
Yeah better leave him alone for now.
Even with her newfound strength, Yoruichi wasn't confident about taking on Captain-Commander Yamamoto.
The guy's power was something that had been forged over a thousand years.
Pushing aside any thoughts of picking a fight with Yamamoto, Yoruichi focused back on the changes in her body.
The Flash Devil skill was amazing, sure.
But what really caught her attention was the feeling deep inside her.
It felt like the stagnation in her power had been brokenlike she was growing stronger again.
The most obvious change? Her Reiatsu was rising!
Slowly, but definitely rising.
And besides that there was a new type of energy inside her.
It had to be the devil's power.
Probably what the Blessing Info called Magic.
Yoruichi raised a finger.
Whoosh
A wisp of golden magic flame materialized out of thin air.
She curiously studied the new power, completely different from Reiatsu, trying to understand the differences between the two.
...
While Yoruichi was absorbed in feeling out her changes, Lynn was also reviewing his gains from making her his Familia member.
The invasion rate of the "Bleach" world had increased slightly.
Inside the space of his Devil Pieces, a new slot had appearedone belonging to Yoruichi's piece.
Currently, it was standing there all by itself, lonely but dignified.
That must be the designated area for Bleach world members.
Thinking about it, a series of familiar faces popped into Lynn's mind.
Matsumoto Rangiku, Kuchiki Rukia, Inoue Orihime
YeahThis world sure had a lot of talents.
Felt like another wave of Familia members was about to flood in.
Of courseIt probably wouldn't be like the Black Bullet world where he instantly recruited over three million people.
Still, the overall quality of recruits was pretty top-notch.
After mentally noting it down, Lynn shifted his focus back to his own gains.
The biggest prize?
Probably the fact that he now had full access to the Shinigami system of powers.
Things like Zanpakuto, Hakuda, Hoho, and Kid.
Even if it didn't boost his own strength directly right now, it gave his Familia a whole new arsenal of techniques.
—
A while later.
Urahara saw Yoruichi and Lynn walking out of the same room together.
A flicker of surprise flashed across his face.
ThenHis eyes narrowed slightly.
Yoruichi's aura had changed? What the hell had they done in there?
Yoruichi caught the questioning look in Urahara's eyes and smirked playfully.
ThenWith the boost from Flash Devil, Yoruichi moved so fast there wasn't even a ripple of movement.
Urahara's pupils shrank sharply as he suddenly felt a hand press firmly onto his shoulder.
Urahara: "..."
Yoruichi's speed had jumped to another level!
Just two days ago, she hadn't been capable of this, right?
Was it because of Lynn?
Urahara instinctively guessed.
What exactly happened between Yoruichi and Lynn during that private time?
Seeing Urahara frozen in shock, Yoruichi felt very pleased, satisfied her urge to show off, and then casually asked, "Did you finish opening the Garganta?"
Urahara paused, his expression turning a little strange.
Since when are you so eager?
(Well, duh.)
(She was part of Lynn's Familia now!)
Urahara didn't understand what was going on, but he couldn't shake a bad feeling creeping up inside him.
Had this trustworthy woman betrayed the organization?
Urahara shook his head and replied, "The Garganta to Hueco Mundo is ready."
He turned to look at Lynn, hesitating slightly. "So should we head out?"
Lynn nodded calmly. "Yeah. Let's go."
.
.
.
Dense Reishi
In a silent and empty world, a crack suddenly split open in midair.
Crack crack~
The sound was sharp and clear, like shattering glass.
Step!
A foot stepped out from within. Right after, Lynn's figure appeared.
Stretching out before him was a barren landscape like a white desert, scattered with what looked like withered trees made of quartz.
Here and there, bizarre-looking creatures wandered aimlessly.
Lynn glanced up at the sky.
A crescent moon hung overhead, marking the flow of time in this place.
But according to what Lynn knew, there was no such thing as "daytime" here.
He took a few deep breaths, feeling a pleasant warmth spread through his body.
It was thanks to the Reiatsu he'd got from Yoruichinow he could start absorbing the Reishi (spirit particles) floating around him.
And in Hueco Mundo, the density of Reishi was on another level that even the Soul Society couldn't compare.
If his Familia members could absorb Reishi, just standing here would probably boost their stats.
Unfortunately right now, aside from Yoruichi, who was a native here, only Miko and Midoriko could use Reishi.
After all, one was a specialist in spirits as [Spirit Devil], and the other was an expert on souls as [Four-Soul Devil].
While Lynn was surveying the surroundings, more figures began stepping out of the black rift behind him.
Yotsuya Miko took a deep breathand immediately felt a surge of dense Reishi flooding into her body!
Miko: "?"
She scratched her cheek, a little confused.
It kinda felt like she was absorbing spirits?
This was amazing!!
Miko's eyes lit up instantly.
For her, this place was basically heaven!
Meanwhile, Midoriko stretched out her hand and used her [Soul Battle Priestess] skill.
—
[Soul Battle Priestess]
Weapon Manifestation: Can manipulate souls to rapidly form weapons.
—
A soft glow flickered at her fingertip, and with a small swipe through the air.
Buzz
A bow made purely from Reishi formed in an instant!
Seeing that, Midoriko fell deep into thought.
It felt like she had stepped into her home turf.
The air was so thick with Reishi that she could easily do things she never could back in the main world!
Like this bow she just madeShe simply gathered the Reishi around her, and it came together effortlessly.
It was like a fish in water.
Midoriko thought of that phrase with a smile.
No wonder Lynn-sama said this world was perfect for her and Miko.
If they trained here, their strength could seriously level up!
"Woohoo~!"
Kanoe Yuuko, the [Ghost Devil] floated in the air, arms spread wide, eyes closed, looking totally blissed out.
As a ghost, she absolutely loved this kind of environment!
It felt like she was soaking in a hot spring 24/7.
This kind of sensation was something only Miko, Midoriko, and Yuuko could appreciate.
The others, like Kikyo, didn't feel much of anything.
Kikyo looked around, then narrowed her eyes at the odd creatures wandering nearby.
"Those..."
"Are those Hollows?"
Lynn nodded. "Yeah."
"But most of them are just regular Hollowsnot very strong."
He scanned the area casually, not taking them seriously.
Honestly, these regular Hollows were probably weaker than even low-class Devils.
The [Life Devil], Yurikawa Hana, had a spark of excitement in her eyes. She cracked her knuckles and eagerly said, "I'll go first!"
A burst of golden energy exploded around her, wrapping her up like a Super Saiyan.
In the next instant
A golden streak cut through the air as Hana shot forward like an arrow!
In no time, one unlucky Hollow sensed a burning heat approaching, and a human figure popped up right in front of it.
Hollow: "??"
It froze, totally dumbfounded.
Hana cheerfully waved at it, flashing a bright, energetic smile. "Hi there, Mr. Hollow!"
Miko: "..."
She facepalmed and sighed. "Hana, regular Hollows don't have brains, y'know!"
"Eh?"
Hana blinked, tilting her head. "Really?"
Miko twitched a little.
Yeah, this girl definitely wasn't paying attention during the briefing.
But well that's just Hana for you.
Miko let out a helpless chuckle.
"Yaaaaaaah!!"
At that moment, the Hollow finally reacted, roaring as it lunged at Hana!
But the second its claws touched her golden aura, its whole body ignited!
The Hollow disintegrated into Reishi and vanished into the air.
"Eh?"
Hana looked super confused, scratching her head. "What just happened?"
"Where did Mr. Hollow go?"
Miko: "..."
Lynn twitched the corner of his mouth.
What had she even learned during training?
At least one thing was clearOrdinary Hollows were no threat at all.
"Alright," Lynn said. "Let's move forward and explore deeper."
On the other side
Watching Lynn and the others disappear into the black rift, Kisuke Urahara finally turned to Yoruichi and asked, "You and that guy..."
"What exactly happened?"
Yoruichi grinned and gave him a thumbs-up. "As expected of you, Kisuke! Sharp as ever!"
Urahara twitched a little. "You weren't even trying to hide it."
She literally put on a whole show right in front of him. It would have been harder not to notice.
Yoruichi shrugged. "Honestly, I'm not sure how much I'm even allowed to tell you."
She had only just joined Lynn's Familia and didn't know all the rules yet.
"But..."
"You saw my speed earlier, right?"
Urahara's eyes glinted. "It's because of him?"
"Yep."
Yoruichi nodded. "My strength got a major boost."
Urahara narrowed his eyes.
He knew Yoruichi's abilities like the back of his handand he knew she'd been stuck at the same level for ages.
"So..."
Urahara couldn't help but ask in disbelief, "You... sold yourself to him?"
Yoruichi nodded without a hint of shame. "That's right."
Urahara: "..."
Wait, he was just jokingshe actually did?!
His face turned a little weird.
"Oh yeah," Yoruichi suddenly said, smiling slyly. "Maybe I should tell you something."
"I'm kinda like... walking around with a complete Hgyoku now."
"!??"
Urahara's head snapped up. "What did you just say?!"
"Ara, Ara~"
Yoruichi chuckled at his reaction. "Wow, it's so rare to see that look on your face!"
