But honestly, this familia's diversity was kind of wild.
Lynn moved on to outlining the plan for reorganizing the Hell of Bleach world.
In one word? Copy.
He already had a working model here.
As for staffing.
Senhime's face twisted in despair. "Got it..."
Working in the main world's Hell was one thing, but in another world?
Her eyes flickered.
Good thing she didn't wipe out the Leopard Cat Tribe.
Maybe, she could send them to handle the grunt work over there?

Just One Hand
After a quick discussion about the development of the Old and New Hells, Lynn and his group were ready to head back to the Hell in the Bleach world.
Since the development of their Hell was already moving forward, Enma Ai and her group decided to tag along to the Bleach world as wellbringing with them a squad of officially registered Inu-yokai.
As for Senhime?
She needed to make a quick trip back to the past to round up some extra hands.
(Leopard Cat members: ...)

A little while later
Just as Lynn and the others were about to step through the dimensional gate, he noticed Furofushi Saito hesitating at the threshold.
Lynn raised an eyebrow. "Something wrong?"
Saito chuckled awkwardly and mumbled, "Uhm so, I was wondering"
"No," Lynn said flatly.
"Hey, I didn't even say anything yet!"
"You didn't have to. Whatever you're thinking, I already have no reason to say yes."
"Well damn," Saito muttered. She hated to admit it, but he kind of had a point.
Still
"Then let's just say it's payment for guiding you guys around!"
Lynn gave her a strange look. "I already paid you, remember?"
"When?!"
Lynn said casually, "What made you think you were even allowed to follow us to this world in the first place?"
Saito's eyes went wide.
"Wait, seriously? That's how this works?"
No one asked for her opinion? Not that it would've made a differenceshe definitely would've followed them anyway.
Saito bit her lip.
Well, now she was out of excuses. So what now?
Lynn just stood there, calmly watching her, though there was a faint glint in his eyes.
After a moment, Saito sighed, looking defeated. "If I just go back now, and Hell finds out I'm screwed."
Dying? She wasn't scared of that.
Even torture or being dunked in lava? Whatever.
But prison?
Ugh, prison was the worst. Not being allowed to go anywhere or see anything? That was worse than death.
If it were in the past, she wouldn't have cared. There was nothing fun there anyway.
But now?
Now that she'd seen all this crazy, fun stuff happening, a new world and a new Hell there was no way she was going to miss out!
"Damn it, Hell"
Lynn understood her concern.
But wasn't he the one currently in charge of Hell in the Bleach world?
If he really wanted to intervene, it wouldn't be hard at all.
Still, he didn't say that. Instead, he nodded solemnly. "Yeah Hell can be real heartless."
"Right?! Exactly!" Saito nodded eagerly. "So, how about I just stay here?"
"Nope."
"Excuse me?"
"You don't get to call Hell heartless when you're just worse," Saito thought bitterly.
Lynn smiled faintly. "I'm under no obligation to help you."
Saito pouted, but Lynn added, "Of course, if you became mine, that'd be a different story."
"What?"
She looked at him like she just discovered his true colors. "So that's what you were after all along, huh? Just say it already!"
Suddenly energized, Saito drew her zanpakut and smirked. "Alright! Let's fight! If you win, I'm yours to command!"
She'd seen enough to know Lynn was powerfulbut that didn't mean she was just gonna submit without a fight.
So yeah, bring it on!
Without hesitation, she used shunpo and appeared right in front of Lynn, blade swinging down in a flash.
Lynn, still calm as ever, just raised a hand.
BOOM!
Saito felt a sharp pain in her face, and thendarkness. A moment later, her body slammed into the sea of red spider lilies.
""
What the hell just happened?
She was completely stunned.
But soon enough, she came to her senses and started struggling to get up.
BOOM!
A wave of Reiatsu exploded from her!
Her long dark pink hair flared out wildly, and the surrounding lilies fluttered like butterflies in a storm of power.
...
Yoruichi's eyes narrowed.
As expected of a legendary senior. That pressure alone it was way beyond her.
And yet even with all that power, Saito didn't budge an inch. She was being completely held down.
On the ground, Saito quickly realized something was wrong.
She had unleashed her power, and yet the pressure increased instead of lessening?
A chill ran through her.
Lynn was crouched beside her, casually pressing her down with one hand. "Done yet?"
"Mmph"
He raised an eyebrow. Whatever she was trying to say, it was completely muffled.
After all, Lynn's hand was on her face.
"Oh well. I'll just take that as a yes." He lifted his hand.
The moment the pressure liftedespecially from her headSaito slowly looked up.
"Phew."
She let out a shaky breath.
But damn it. She didn't even last a single breath of time.
She didn't even get to use her Bankai!
Then again judging by the sheer power difference, even that probably wouldn't have helped.
Still sulking, Saito stood up, dusting herself off and brushing off the flower pollen.
Once she straightened her clothes, she pouted. "Alright, fine. I'm yours."
Ugh. This was so undignified.
Meanwhile
Yoruichi's cat face twisted into a very human-like expression.
Seriously?
That was all it took? Just one hand?
But seeing such a renowned veteran fold after just one move Yoruichi couldn't help but feel a bit better about her own situation.
Enma Ai and the others, on the other hand, just waited silently for Lynn to finish up. They didn't seem surprised at all.
Once Saito fulfilled her end of the deal, Lynn handed her a freshly printed member handbook.
"Huh?"
She stared at the booklet in confusion. "What's this?"
"Take a look. You'll get it."
Yoruichi's eyes flashed with recognition.
Ah, of courseit's that process.
Saito flipped the handbook open, and the moment she read what was inside she froze like a statue.
It was like she'd never seen anything like it before.
Eyes wide, she pressed the booklet up close, as if worried she'd miss a single word.
After a long while, she muttered in a daze, "So"
"This is what you meant by 'becoming yours'?"
Joining his Familia?
Saito clenched the handbook tightly.
Exploring other worlds!?
That was the real drawnot the whole 'become a Devil' or 'get a blessing' stuff.
The thing that really hooked her was the idea of conquering other worlds!
It sounded awesome.
Way too awesome.
Sure, the blessing system was nice too. And yeah, she wanted to get stronger.
But power wasn't the most important thing to heras long as it was enough, that was fine.
Once she'd finished reading everything, she slapped the handbook shut and declared without hesitationvoice brimming with excitement: "I'm joining your Familia!"
"Other worlds! OTHER WORLDS!!"
Saito was screaming internally.
It wasn't just this world. His Familia had access to many other worlds.
And they weren't just visiting them.
They were invading them.
She'd read every single detail on that page.
Off to the side, Hone Onna (Bone Devil) watched Saito's reaction with a shrug and said, "Welp I guess our trip to New Hell is gonna be delayed again."
.

The Undying Devil
Main World Japan Hell
Furofushi Saito was lying facedown on a wooden bed, back exposed.
She had read the handbook and was already familiar with how the reincarnation ritual worked.
"..."
"Why the hell do I have to strip for this so-called 'ritual'?"
Lynn didn't bother answering. He simply raised his hand and summoned a Devil Piece, slowly approaching her.
"H-Hey! Don't even think about taking advantage of me!"
Lynn just gave her a deadpan look.
Honestly, once she became part of his Familia, everything about her technically belonged to him anyway. And she was still worried about that?
Also
He glanced at her, then made a face and muttered, "I'm not into underdeveloped bodies."
"!!!"
Saito's eyes widened in disbelief. "Underdeveloped?!"
That did it. She jumped up, turned around to face him, puffed out her chest, and planted her hands on her hips.
"Who're you calling a kid, huh?!"
She gave her chest a loud smacksmack smack!
Lynn: ""
His eyes flicked to her chestjust enough slope to register, barelyand he sighed. "Okay, fine. You're slightly above child level."
"???"
Slightly?!
Saito looked like she was ready to argue more, but before she could, her body suddenly lifted off the bed.
"What the?!"
Lynn hoisted her up like she weighed nothing, turned her around, and made her lie down again.
Buzz!
Inside her, Reiatsu and Magic began to intertwine, boiling up like a storm.
What surprised Saito most was
Even though these were two completely different types of energy, they weren't clashing like she expected. They weren't fighting to the deaththey were fusing, syncing.
She focused.
Inside herthe Devil Piece shimmered.
Devil Piece
She repeated the name silently in her mind.
Was that why the two energies didn't reject each other?
And despite this 'becoming a devil' thing she still felt like a Shinigami. That part hadn't changed.
Which meant: She now had both devil and Shinigami traits?
Not just that There were other things inside her too. More abilities. More power.
Saito carefully explored the changes in her body.
Meanwhile, Lynn heard a system chime in his ear.
[Ding! You've acquired a new Familia member: "Furofushi Saito."]
[Ding! Your Familia member "Furofushi Saito" has been reborn as a Special-Class Devil!]
Lynn looked at her back.
A flash of light glowed across her skin, and her Blessing Information appeared before him.
—
[Furofushi Saito]
Rank: Ultimate-Class Devil
Position: Knight
Master: Lynn Valifer
Stats:
Strength: I0 Agility: I0 Endurance: I0 Magic: I0
Position Skill: Godspeed
Unique Skills: [Zanpakut: Blooddrinker Shigure] & [Undying Devil]
[Zanpakut: Blooddrinker Shigure]
Shikai: Blood Rain Shigure
Release Command: "Drain them dryBlood-Drinking Shigure!"
The blade turns into a flowing, blood-like liquid. It can shift into a whip or thorny vines. Wounds inflicted continue draining the enemy's Reiatsu, the rate scaling with the target's will to live.
Contact with enemy blood allows temporary regeneration. Excess absorption triggers madness state.
Bankai: Rotten Blood Rain Shigure
Marked enemies slowly mummify. Their flesh cracks and peels like rotting wood, with pain delayed in transmission.
While active, Saito decays alongside her enemybut absorbing blood can reverse her own withering.
[Undying Devil]
Rapid Regeneration:
Instant recovery of body and soul. Ignores physical destruction (decapitation, dismemberment) and spiritual attacks (like Kido or Cero).
Requires magic or life force to fuel it.
Multiplication:
Can summon up to 8 physical clones. Each one shares her undying trait and can act independently or combine to form an "Undying Field."
Fate Transference:
Can transfer her own injuries to enemies or the environment just by touching them.
e.g., a severed arm wound can be "grafted" onto an enemy's body, causing a cursed injury.
Wounds carry "Undying Contamination," suppressing the enemy's ability to regenerate.
Devilization: Eternal Law
Development Abilities:
Battle Continuation (A): Can keep fighting even when critically injured. Pain fuels her will to fight.
Reiatsu Sense (B): Tracks enemy spirit flow and predicts their next move.

Lynn skimmed through her new Blessing info.
The first thing he noticedZanpakut: Blooddrinker Shigure.
Yeah just by looking at it, he could tell this ability fit Saito's style perfectly.
Then he got to the main highlightUndying Devil.
Just the name alone was enough to get him excited.
Sure enough, the first ability listed was Rapid Regeneration!
Devils could heal through magic, surebut it was never very efficient. That's why healing spells and recovery artifacts were a whole thing in the first place.
But now with this? Saito had true regeneration.
That alone kicked their survivability up a notch.
Of course, given Lynn's current power level, even in the main world there were only a few people who could even scratch him.
Still better to have insurance than not. Especially when he wasn't just sticking to this world.
Who knew what kind of mess a [Devil's Contract] might drag him into someday?
The other abilities were pretty wild too.
That Fate Transference one?
It reminded him of Hidan from Narutobut way more developed.
Unlike Hidan, she didn't need to hurt herself. She could transfer her wounds straight onto someoneor even the environment. That was insane.
Transfer damage to the world itself?
Lynn could already picture the battlefield when Saito went all-out.
Of course, it had limits. At the end of the day, it still depended on her magic reserves.
Once he'd finished copying her Blessing details, Lynn gave her back a light pat.
"...?"
Saito snapped out of her trance, still digesting the changes inside her.
She took the info sheet Lynn handed her and read it over.
"'Undying Devil'?"
So this was the deeper transformation happening inside her?
After reading through the description, a spark of realization lit up in her eyes.
That vague sensation she couldn't put into words just nowgone.
Only, uh Wasn't this ability name suspiciously based on her own name?
'Furofushi' literally means 'Undying.'
Saito's expression turned a bit awkward.
Once she finished getting used to her new powers, Lynn spoke up.
"All right, let's go. Time to head to the New Hell."
"Waitwhat?"
She blinked and tugged on Lynn's sleeve. "You know I escaped from Hell, right? If "
Before she could even finish, Lynn casually raised a hand to cut her off.
"From now on, I am Hell."
Saito: "...???"
