Already calling him 'Lord'?
Well, that was a good sign
She had long seen through the thoughts of Sesshmaru and all the inuyokai.
As Lord Lynn's subordinate, she wouldn't always be in the Western Lands.
One day, leadership would pass to Sesshmaru.
And she needed to ensure the inuyokai knew their place.
Both the inuyokai and she herselfWould forever be Lord Lynn's loyal puppies.

"You're ready to level up."

In the apartment...
Lynn glanced at the blessing info glowing behind Saeko and said, "Saeko, it looks like there's been a lot of changes since you hit Ultimate-Class."
"Yeah, aside from the raw power boost, I can feel something different in me too," she nodded, raising her hand slightly.
Voom
The space around them rippled, and in an instant, the entire apartment was replaced by a purgatory-like domain filled with countless swords.
Clinging weakly to Lynn's chest after returning from the past era and overusing her pseudo-divine powers, Ryougetsu Senhime opened her eyes wide. "What the heck just happened?"
Invisible slashes cut through the air, streaking toward a single point. Saeko stood still, her mind commanding the domain.
She blinked, slightly surprised.
"This is..."
"Domain: Blade Prison," Lynn explained as he handed her the updated blessing info.
Saeko read through it carefully, pausing at one entry.
"Huh? Elevated Killing Intent?"
Her eyes sparkled, a grin forming as she instinctively licked her lips. "That sounds like a perfect fit for me."
"It definitely is," Lynn agreed.
The first effect reminded him of Conqueror's Hakigreat for wiping out weaker enemies in bulk. The second gave her short-term buffs based on kill count. It suited Saeko's love of battle perfectly.
Not just SaekoLynn himself also received a bit of feedback.
He closed his eyes.
[Zodiac Pilgrimage]. This ability was divided into four phases: Spring Pilgrimage, Summer Pilgrimage, Autumn Pilgrimage, and Winter Pilgrimage.
The Spring Pilgrimage had already been unlocked before, and now the Summer Pilgrimage was glowing as well.
"Summer Pilgrimage"
[Cancer Cocoon] Summons a stardust cocoon that heals anyone inside.
[Leo Spear] Hurls a long spear forged from solar energy; its power scales with the user's fighting spirit.
[Virgo domain] Unleashes a domain that analyzes enemy weaknesses and forcibly equalizes a specific stat (like speed or strength) between both parties.
Then he heard a sweet voice in his ear.
"You can finally use the Summer Pilgrimage now!"
Lynn's eyes gleamed.
"Stella?"
He focused, shifting his awareness into the space of the [Devil's Piece].
There, various constellations shimmered in the starry sky.
Ten tiny girls swarmed around him, clinging to every inch of his body like affectionate kittens.
"Master! Master!"
Stella practically bounced. "Taurus and Virgo woke up!"
Lynn's gaze sharpened, and he quickly made his way to their respective astral domains.
Inside each, a small loli lay sound asleep.
"They're still unconscious?"
Stella looked conflicted. "They've reformed their bodies, but their minds haven't fully awakened yet."
Lynn nodded slowly.
Still, that meant he should be able to use [Taurus Gate] and [Virgo Domain] now.
He turned his gaze to the starry sky of the [Devil's Piece].
The positioning of his pieces had shifted again.
Senhime, Kikyo, Utaha, and Mikotheir pieces floated in one section.
Saeko and Shizuka's were in another.
Kisara and others were grouped in a separate zone with the devil lolis.
"Looks like it's organized by their original worlds now," Lynn murmured.
"What kind of changes will that bring?"
Then, after chatting a bit more with the lolis in the starlit realm, Lynn exited the [Devil's Piece] space.
—
"Maybe I should let them out to play sometime."
Just as he reached to close his status panel, something caught his eye.
[Devil's Contract]
Invaded Worlds:
Highschool of the Dead (Completed)
Black Bullet (94.78%)
Demon Slayer (69.34%)
Main World: (5.01%)
Pending Invasion:
Bleach
Date A Live
—
"Main world?"
Lynn blinked in confusion.
"Wait a second... am I invading my own world?"
He froze.
He was... an outsider?
Taking deep breaths to calm himself, he closed his eyes and activated the [Four-Soul Devil]'s "Sakimitama" mode that symbolizes wisdom, logic, and creativity.
After all, in this crazy world that mashed up anime like High School DxD and Strike the Blood...
Maybe he really wasn't from here in the first place.
So why didn't it count as an invasion of this world before?
His eyes opened, a sharp gleam flashing through them.
Fine.
He'd go all in.
He looked at the invasion percentage of the main world: "5.01%."
Lynn murmured to himself.
His influence on this world really wasn't that high.
That 5.01% probably only came from recruiting a few members for his Familia, leveling up to an Ultimate-class devil, and that slight impact he made back in the past.
If he wanted to fully invade this worldwhat more did he need to do?
The [Devil's Contract] didn't give any clues.
Maybe it was similar to what he had to do in the "Demon Slayer" world.
With the Sakimitama mode active, he felt intelligence flooding his mind like a tidal wave. His brain kicked into high gear.
"It should be my familia's influenceor rather, my influence."
After all, the Familia revolved around him.
The Three Major Factions: Fallen Angels, Devils, Angels.
In the world of DxD, you couldn't avoid those. And he was taking a place in two of these factions
Suddenly, he remembered the incident with the Holy Swords in Kuoh Town.
"Maybe I should start with the Fallen Angels to increase my invasion?"
Test the waters using them.
He instinctively recalled that day when he unfolded his Fallen Angel wings.
"Maybe I could take the Governor position from Azazel?"
A smirk crept onto his face.
What started as a joke might just become reality.
"Azazel, you're getting old."
"The position should go to someone else now."
Fallen Angels, Devils, Angelshe'd take over them all, then use them to expand his influence across the whole world! Even the angles wouldn't be spared.
Because this world wasn't just the High School DxD universe.
There were yokai, vampires...Otherworldly evil gods...
Thinking about it that way, invading this world felt like a massive task.
Lynn rubbed his temples.
"World invasion, huh..."
He opened the [Devil's Contract] again.
Clicked on "Highschool of the Dead."
(Contributions: Saeko 32.35%, Utaha 7.8%, ... 3.21%, ... 1.43%)
Lynn paused, running calculations in his head.
Altogether, his Familia's contributions only added up to around 73%.
Nearly 27% was just missing.
He squinted.
Was the [Devil's Contract] screwing him over?
[Ding! The host's Contributions for Highschool of the Dead have been preserved!]
Lynn raised an eyebrow.
Alright. At least it had some integrity.
But what could he do with these contributions?
He wasn't sure.
Still, as long as he kept pushing forward, he'd figure it out.
After finishing his analysis of the [Devil's Pieces] and [Devil's Contract], he looked up.
Saeko had finished reviewing her blessing info and had already changed back into her outfit.
Senhime, still feeling weak, was lying lazily in her bed.
"I wonder when I'll get to level up..."
She sighed.
Was she supposed to wipe out all the yokai in the world?
She wasn't the type to enjoy killing.
And not all yokai were evil either. It's not like she could just go slaughtering innocents.
Lynn patted her puppy ears.
"Just invade more worlds."
Senhime's eyes lit up.
"Then... is there a world that suits me?"
Lynn thought for a moment.
"Demon Slayer" was too low-tier for her. Better to use that world to help others level up.
Even Midoriko was just there to keep an eye on things.
As for the Bleach world...
Nah, Senhime alone probably wouldn't be able to do anything there.
Midoriko's soul abilities might be really effective in that world.
Actually, could Yuuko, in her ghost form, sneak into Soul Society?
Lynn was curious.
He should toss her in there and find out.
And as for Date A Live...
He wanted to play around in that one himself first.
Just as that thought passed, a flash of light filled the apartment.
A magic circle lit up.
Senhime groaned, "Ugh, that damn cat again!"
And sure enough, Koneko appeared in the magic circle.
Lynn raised an eyebrow. "Weren't you guys dealing with the Holy Sword situation?"
Koneko casually pushed Senhime out of the way and snuggled into Lynn's lap.
Senhime bared her teeth in annoyance but couldn't do anything.
She was too weak right now.
A dog can get bullied by a cat when it's down...
Like how Tom used to bully Spike really badly when he was weak.
Koneko replied calmly, "The Church said they don't trust devils, so they rejected our help."
"Fools," Lynn muttered.
Then, his eyes narrowed. "Hmm....We've got company."
Senhime twitched her nose, immediately showing disgust. "It's another stinky cat."
Another flash of light filled the room.
"Found you~ nya~!"
.
.
.
Kuroka
Inside the apartment
A magic circle pulsed into existence on the floor, glowing with purple light.
Click.
A long, curvy leg stepped out, geta sandals clicking sharply against the wooden floor.
"Found you~ Nya."
A lazy yet seductive voice echoed out from the magic circle.
A moment later, a tall and curvy woman stepped through it. Her slim waist contrasted sharply with her full chest, creating a striking shape.
She wore a black and purple kimono adorned with golden accessories around her waist. Her expression was sultry, and her sharp golden eyesvertical pupilsradiated a mix of wildness and danger.
But the most eye-catching features were the black cat ears on her head and the twin-tailed black cat tail swaying behind her.
Kuroka?
Lynn blinked in surprise.
But then...
He gave her a strange look.
"Was she always this traditional? Did I watch the wrong anime or what?"
His eyes scanned her alluring figure.
No skin-showing at all. Not even a thigh.
Kinda different from what he remembered.
Still... maybe just her choice of outfit.
Koneko was nestled in Lynn's arms. When she saw who stepped out of the circle, her eyes widened in shock.
"Big sister?!"
She tensed up and started to rise, but A hand gently rested on her shoulder.
"Relax, Koneko," Lynn said with a calm chuckle, pulling her back into his embrace.
Koneko froze, but a strange sense of comfort washed over her as she leaned into him. The anxiety she'd just felt disappeared completely.
Her mind went a little fuzzy.
'Lynn-senpai is so strong'
'His body feels so reassuring.'
Meanwhile, Kuroka's gaze sharpened. Seeing her precious little sister cuddled up in some random guy's arms, her golden pupils flashed dangerously.
"Ho? So you're Shirone's man, nya?"
Her tone was unreadable, but her mind raced back to when ShironeKoneko nearly went into heat not too long ago.
It was him, wasn't it?
This bastard!
Her mood turned icy.
She meets her sister again for the first time in forever, and this guy is just casually hugging her like it's nothing?
Her ears twitched in irritation. She was one breath away from pouncing at him.
"Big sis, why are you here?"
Koneko asked, keeping her tone calm, though her tiny fists clenched.
Her sister's power was no joke.
Far beyond even Rias or Akeno. Kuroka had been listed as an SS-class threat in the Underworld.
She couldn'tmustn'tlet Kuroka hurt her Lynn-senpai!
A fiery determination lit up in her golden eyes as she stared down her sister.
Kuroka blinked, a bit surprised, and then smiled softly. "Not bad, Shirone. I like that look in your eyes."
All for that guy, huh
She turned her attention to Lynn again, her gaze darkening slightly.
Should I kill him?
"Sis!"
Koneko's voice rose as Kuroka's gaze lingered.
"Alright, alright."
Koneko frowned. "Why are you here? What do you want?"
Kuroka sighed, her golden eyes gleaming. She reached out a hand toward her sister. "I came to take you home."
"Take me...?"
Koneko froze, then frowned harder. "You didn't come back for me back then. Why now?"
"Sorry, nya~" Kuroka scratched her head. "I was too busy running for my life. Didn't have time to bring you along."
"..."
"I'm not going with you." Koneko's tone was firm.
"Oh? Because of him, right?"
Kuroka narrowed her eyes.
"Shirone... didn't you almost go into heat because of him?"
Koneko blushed fiercely. "H-How did you know that?!"
"That doesn't matter. What matters isyou're staying for him, right?"
She turned to Lynn. "Being near this guy... it's dangerous, nya~"
"Before long, you might be walking around with a baby cat, nya~"
"B-Baby?!"
Koneko stuttered in panic.
"Tch. Even if I have to use force, I'm taking you with me."
