Staring blankly at her own blessing info, Shinobu was dumbfounded.
"So this is the secret behind how Lady Kikyo and the others can easily slay demons... The blessing of a god, huh..."
A while later...
Lynn finished reincarnating all the talented people from the Demon Slayer world into his Familia.
As expected, they all turned out to be low-class devils.
Except for Mitsuri and Shinobu, everyone else was just an ordinary devil.
Nezuko got a skill called [Hinokami Kagura] the Dance of the Fire God.
As the shrine maiden of a Devil God, she awakened a skill tied to the Fire God concept.
Honestly? Hard to judge.
Jokes aside, Lynn knew it was just related to Sun Breathing.
With that, the Demon Slayer world's invasion progress had officially broken past the 80% mark.
At the same time, the inner space of the "Devil's Pieces" underwent another change.
Lynn raised an eyebrow and opened his panel.
His level still showed as Maou-Class (Devil King Level).
The feedback from a bunch of low-class devils was like tossing a stone into the oceanno waves, no ripples.
Even though the displayed level hadn't changed, Lynn was pretty sure his actual strength had already gone beyond the Maou-Class.
With the feedback from higher-level devils and his Familia leveling up, his power was constantly growing.
Even if low-class devils didn't offer him much growth now, once they reached mid-class, they'd still provide feedback.
Over time, Lynn felt like he was already brushing against the limit of the Maou-Class.
Basically what you'd call a "Super Devil."
After checking his own status, Lynn entered the space world of his "Devil's Pieces."
As usual, the constellation lolis swarmed around him while he checked the positions of the new Demon Slayer world Familia pieces.
A new skill resembling the "Gastrea Genome Codex (Factor Genome)" slowly emerged.
"So every time I invade a world, I get a new skill?"
Lynn raised an eyebrow, a little surprised.
But then he wondered
"Why didn't I get anything from the Apocalypse World? Was it not worthy?"
Shaking his head, Lynn turned his attention to the new skill.
[Hinokami Kagura]
Obtains the "Sun" power
Judgment of the Sun (Condenses a thousand years of faith into a single sun-infused slash that ignores all defenses)
—
"The Sun, huh..."
Lynn's eyes lit up. He extended a finger and focused his magic power.
Humm
A wisp of searing-hot magic floated at his fingertip.
Rubbing his chin, Lynn muttered, "Does this mean I have anti-vampire properties now?"
Looking up, he saw a faint, fragile red glow drifting in the starry space like a candle in the wind.
"So this counts as the Sun?"
The corner of Lynn's mouth twitched.
Still, everything was moving in a good direction.
The Black Bullet world had given him the power of the Zodiac.
Now the Demon Slayer world had given him the power of the Sun.
A strange glint flickered in Lynn's eyes as he looked at the starry sky of the Devil's Piece.
Sooner or later, he would turn the space within the "Devil's Pieces" into something truly complete.
Lynn lingered a little longer, staring at that so-called "Sun".
Then glanced over at the Zodiac.
"Tsk."
"Each Zodiac sign has its own little loli guardian, but the Sun has nothing? Totally unacceptable. I gotta stuff someone in there."
Returning his consciousness from the "Devil's Pieces" space, Lynn found that the new members of his Familia had all changed into shrine maiden outfits.
"What's this?"
Raising an eyebrow, he glanced at Kikyo with a questioning look.
Kikyo smiled gently and explained, "The new shrine maidens are preparing to perform a Kagura Dance for Lord Lynn, hoping to earn your favor."
"Oh?"
Lynn's interest was piqued.
Sitting upright on his throne, his voice gained a trace of majesty.
"Then... let me see what you've got."
As his words fell, Shinobu and the others exchanged glances before moving into action.
Nezuko, dressed in a white top and crimson hakama, held bells in her hands. When she lightly shook her wrists, the bells chimed in layers, and colorful ribbons floated gracefully with her movements.
Mitsuri wore a sleeveless shrine maiden outfit that highlighted her strength. Holding a sword, her movements were powerful and bold. The arc her blade carved through the air felt like it could cut down all misfortune.
The others weren't to be outdone eithereach showing off their own dances, all flowing beautifully before Lynn's eyes.
As Lynn's closest shrine maiden, Kikyo's Kagura Dance skills were on another level entirely.
In order to please Lynn even more, she had even created her own unique dance.
The sacred Rod Dance!
Holding a sacred rod, Kikyo's expression was solemn and dignified as she carefully measured its length, offering the highest purification ritual.
Seeing Kikyo's performance, the newly recruited shrine maidens were all stunned.
Blushing furiously, they secretly watched her every move, studying in detail the proper steps of how to please their god.
Kanae's face reddened slightly as she pressed her lips together, her hands nervously twining together...
But...
There was a trace of determination that flashed across her eyes.
Serving a god that was a shrine maiden's duty!
She took a deep breath, stepped forward a few paces, and spoke with clear resolve.
"Miss Kikyo... please, teach me this Dance!"
Kikyo, who was still focused on her purification ceremony, lifted her gaze in slight surprise.
But when it came to earnest, willing-to-learn shrine maidens, she never kept her knowledge to herself.
With a faint smile, Kikyo stepped aside, handing over the sacred rod and began to instruct her patiently.
"The Sacred rod stands tall even in chaos."
"As long as your prayers come from a place of true devotion, the god will naturally bestow divine power upon you and watch over you."
Shinobu and Kanae listened intently, soaking up Kikyo's words like a sponge completely immersed in learning every detail.
Meanwhile, in the main world.
Kuoh Academy
Koneko stared nervously at Kuroka, who had suddenly appeared before her.
"Nee-san... why are you here again?"
After all, Kuroka was an SS-ranked criminal wanted by the Underworld.
If the club president saw her hanging around, things could get seriously messy.
But more importantly...
It would definitely cause trouble for senpai.
Kuroka was lying lazily on a tree branch, completely relaxed.
"Obviously I'm here to pick up my little sister and bring her home to warm the bed with me~"
Koneko twitched slightly, feeling weirdly conflicted.
Why... does this sound oddly familiar?
Wait a sec...
Hasn't Nee-san already become senpai's servant?
Where exactly is she trying to take me?
It hasn't even been a full day since she joined, and she's already planning to betray senpai??
Thinking of this, Koneko's expression turned serious.
But just as she was about to speak, Kuroka's golden, cat-like eyes glanced over her shoulder staring straight past her.
"Oh? The Crimson-Haired Ruin Princess is here too? No point in hiding anymore, nya~"

The Loyal Koneko
Kuoh Academy
Rias fell silent for a moment. She exchanged a look with Akeno beside her before stepping forward.
"President?"
"Akeno-senpai?"
Koneko looked surprised to see Rias and Akeno approaching.
She was sure that when she left earlier, she hadn't drawn that much attention... so why were they here...?
But now wasn't the time to worry about that!
Her sister had been found out!
More importantly, she absolutely couldn't let the President know about her sister's connection to Lynn-senpai!
Koneko started getting nervous.
Rias noticed her anxiousness and thought it was because of the pressure from Kuroka, so she gave Koneko a comforting smile.
Then she turned her gaze to Kuroka.
Hmph! Just look at this!
Kuroka had scared her cute little Koneko so much!
Her eyes sharpened, and her tone became firm. "Koneko is now my servant, Rias Gremory's servant. I'm not letting you take her away!"
"Ho~?" Kuroka's eyes gleamed playfully. She then looked at Koneko, narrowing her eyes. "Shirone, you should know exactly where I am right now, don't you?"
Koneko froze.
What did that mean?
Was she planning to take her to Lynn-senpai?
She looked confused.
But then Kuroka's voice softly drifted to her ear...
"Shirone, you're not really gonna let your big sis have Lynn all to herself, are you?" She leaned in and whispered, just loud enough for Koneko to hear.
Then, with a playful smile, she added aloud, "Come on I doubt we'll even make it out of his bed anytime soon."
Koneko: "!!!"
Her face turned bright red.
Sister!! What the heck are you even saying!!
Rias and Akeno both froze for a second, their expressions turning weird.
What kind of crazy thing was that to say!?
Koneko's sister was this... bold?
This womanshe was seriously trying to corrupt her adorable little Koneko!
Absolutely not!
There was no way she could let her take Koneko away!
Rias glared at Kuroka, her expression dangerous. "You! Koneko is not going with you!"
"Kuroka! Don't forget who you are!"
Rias's aura flared. "You plan to take Koneko and drag her into a life on the run, hunted by devils everywhere?!"
"Besides..."
She stared hard at Kuroka, her tone complicated. "You probably don't even realize how much pain you've already caused Koneko..."
Kuroka went quiet for a moment, then let out a soft laugh. "I can't undo the past..."
"But!"
Her golden eyes gleamed with a touch of madness. "This time, I want to lead Shirone down a path of unparalleled happiness!"
Of course, it wasn't just about getting Shirone to join her.
Once Shirone was marked by Master's blessing...
The power within her, which shared the same origin as Kuroka's, would be properly guided and awakened.
In factWith the blessing, she could reach heights beyond imagination!
Rias listened to Kuroka's fanatic rambling, frowning deeply.
Realizing words wouldn't work, her tone turned cold. "I won't let someone as dangerous as you take Koneko away."
"Nyaaa?"
Kuroka blinked, her golden pupils flashing with a dangerous light.
"Dangerous?"
She chuckled softly. "Are you sure... this place is safe either?"
Rias froze.
But Kuroka kept talking. "I heard... that a certain high-ranking Fallen Angel has their eyes on this place."
Rias bit her lip. "I'll protect Koneko."
"With just you?" Kuroka sneered, lifting a delicate hand and tapping the air.
In an instantDark purple mist spread around them.
The moment Rias inhaled the mist, her eyes widened in shock as all the strength drained from her body.
With a thud, she collapsed to the ground!
Akeno's body also weakened, though due to her Fallen Angel bloodline, she managed to resist better than Rias.
She could barely stay standing.
Akeno gritted her teeth, her face dark.
Why... of all times... did this disgusting bloodline have to be useful now!
Honestly, she would rather have collapsed like Rias.
"Sister!"
Koneko stood protectively in front of Rias, completely unaffected by the mist.
Or rather...
Kuroka had deliberately avoided her.
Seeing Koneko's worried look, Kuroka waved her hand casually. "Relax, relax~ Sis knows what she's doing, nyaa~."
"After all..."
Kuroka's lips curled into a mischievous smile. "She is the sister of that Lucifer guy, after all, nyaa."
Rias bit her lip hard upon hearing that.
Kuroka leapt down from the tree, grabbed Koneko, and looked at Rias with a teasing smile.
"See?"
"If I can deal with you guys this easily..."
"What makes you think you can protect Shirone from me?"
"..."
"Damn it!"
Rias glared fiercely at Kuroka.
"Well then~"
"Shirone, I'm taking you with me, nyaa~"
A purple magic circle flared up behind Kuroka, ready to teleport her and Koneko away.
But... Koneko hesitated for a moment, then shook her head. "Sorry, sis."
"I can't go with you yet."
Kuroka froze. "Nya~?"
Koneko spoke firmly, "Rias-senpai saved me. I can't just walk away like this!"
Of course, deep down, she still wanted to be Lynn-senpai's special pet.
But...
She thought back to her past.
If it wasn't for Rias-senpai... maybe she wouldn't even be alive right now, let alone have the chance to meet Lynn-senpai.
"Koneko..." Rias was clearly moved.
But...
A flaw in Koneko's words.
Akeno immediately caught it.
Yet??
Meaning... someday...She would leave.
Akeno frowned, her thoughts drifting to Lynn.
Is he a part of this situation?
Thinking of Lynn, she remembered something else.
Rias had once received a devil flyer from Lynn.
Maybe it was the first thing Rias had ever gotten from him.
Even though it was just an ordinary devil flyer, Rias always kept it close.
Akeno had even seen her quietly pull it out from time to time, staring at it with a complicated expression.
Akeno squinted at Rias's chest.
When she spotted a tiny corner of black paper peeking out, she breathed a silent sigh of relief.
Yup, she was carrying it right now.
Good.
If things got really bad... they'd just have to ask Lynn for help.
But... could Lynn really handle Kuroka?
Akeno hesitated.
Even though she was starting to lose track of what Lynn could actually do...
Still, he was their age.
Even if he was way stronger than her or Rias... it couldn't be that much stronger, right?
This was seriously troubling...
And Kuroka hadn't really tried to hurt them.
