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 smack—smack smack!
Lynn: "…"
His eyes flicked to her chest—just enough slope to register, barely—and 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 death—they were fusing, syncing.
She focused.
Inside her—the 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.

—[Zanpakutō: Blooddrinker Shigure]—
•Shikai: Blood Rain Shigure
Release Command: "Drain them dry—Blood-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 enemy—but 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 noticed—Zanpakutō: Blooddrinker Shigure.
Yeah… just by looking at it, he could tell this ability fit Saito's style perfectly.
Then he got to the main highlight—Undying 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, sure—but 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 Naruto—but way more developed.
Unlike Hidan, she didn't need to hurt herself. She could transfer her wounds straight onto someone—or 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 now—gone.
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."
"Wait—what?"
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: "...???"
