DxD: Chapter 209/211

Chapter 209: Invasion Start
Shuchiin.

Old school building.

Supernatural Investigation Club.

Utaha looked at the deserted old school building and breathed a sigh of relief.

She muttered, "These women are seriously insane."

But...

Thankfully, it was finally over.

"Um…"

Standing in front of Utaha, Megumi looked a bit troubled.

What should she do...

She seemed lost.

Utaha stretched, then turned around and pushed open the door of the Supernatural Investigation Club.

Bang!

She closed the door without any hesitation.

Megumi: "..."

She reached out but finally sighed helplessly.

Inside the Supernatural Investigation Club.

Seeing Utaha walk in, Lynn raised his eyebrow and asked, "All done?"

Utaha walked over to the refrigerator, took out a bottle of soda, and drank it in big gulps.

"Ha!"

Letting out a satisfied sound, Utaha said, "They've all been sent away."

A hint of doubt flashed across Lynn's eyes.

Did Megumi not come?

Never mind...

He didn't think much of it for now and turned his gaze to the portal.

The matters in the main world were almost settled.

Next up...

It was time to invade the World of the Soul Reapers!

Thinking of this, Lynn started gathering troops in the group.

Miko, Midoriko, Kikyo...

He temporarily selected members with soul-related abilities to form the advance party.

Before long, everyone Lynn had summoned arrived at the club.

Kikyo blinked and looked at Lynn expectantly. "Master Lynn, are we going to a new world to spread the faith?"

Lynn glanced at Kikyo, who had become a fanatical missionary, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

But...

In the Demon Slayer, Kikyo had performed excellently.

So...

Lynn didn't discourage her enthusiasm, instead smiling and saying, "That's right."

"I see!"

Receiving Lynn's affirmation, Kikyo clenched her fists, her face filled with determination.

The red-and-white shrine maiden outfit she wore seemed to shimmer faintly with the light of faith.

As the shrine maiden of Master Lynn, her life's mission was to spread his name across the worlds!

Midoriko glanced at Midoriko, who seemed to be glowing, and her eyelids twitched.

She wanted to say, since they were all shrine maidens, could she tone it down a bit?

But...

Seeing Kikyo's fanatical expression, she couldn't bring herself to say anything.

Miko stood silently nearby.

Ever since she advanced to a higher-class devil, she had been secretly looking forward to this day.

Because Lynn had once said that this world was very suitable for her growth.

Miko decided she would perform well this time. Preferably...

She could earn a reward from her master.

Thinking of that, her face flushed slightly.

But...

Thinking of her mother's persistent teachings, she took a few deep breaths and her gaze became firm.

There were many members in Lynn's Peerage.

She needed to find a chance to stand out!

This time was her opportunity!

Lynn observed his Peerage calmly, nodding imperceptibly.

Midoriko and Kikyo were both seasoned veterans. Although they didn't have much experience invading worlds, they didn't panic in the face of the unknown.

In contrast, the newer members, who had been ordinary people before, even after experiencing several worlds, still needed time to adjust.

But...

So far, they had adapted well.

Lynn lightly coughed, drawing everyone's attention, and then began explaining the details of the World of the Soul Reapers.

Soul Society, Hueco Mundo, the real world...

Shinigami, Hollows, Quincy...

As well as the technology level, equipment, and power system.

Lynn explained everything thoroughly to Miko and the others.

Just to be safe, and to avoid incomplete information from anime, Lynn used Devil's Summoning to contact Yoruichi Shihouin, asking her to compile more detailed data and send it over.

Soon after.

When they received the compiled data, Miko and the others spaced out slightly, trying to digest the sudden flood of information.

"Demon Arts…"

On the side, Utaha, who had been listening, showed a bit of interest.

The abilities recorded in her Devil Tome were still too few.

Seeing this, Lynn said, "Don't worry. When we get there, I'll ask Yoruichi and Kisuke Urahara to make a copy for you."

Having two former captains was like having two walking treasure troves of knowledge. Not using them would be wasteful.

Upon hearing this, Utaha's red eyes lit up immediately, and she kissed Lynn on the cheek, "Master's the best!"

Lynn smiled without much reaction.

After this little interlude, Miko and the others regained their focus.

Midoriko sighed, "No wonder Master says it's the perfect world to nurture Miko."

"Just those endless Hollows would be enough to fill Miko's appetite, right?"

Miko looked a little excited too.

Kikyo pondered for a moment before saying, "The power system in this world is already quite complete."

Demon Arts of the Shinigami, Zanpakuto, Quincy's spiritual weaponry...

Each profession had its corresponding system.

"It'll probably be hard to conquer such a world, right?"

Lynn knocked on the table, smiled faintly, and said, "Don't worry. We have plenty of time."

He clapped his hands and continued, "The goals of our Peerage remain the same."

"First, monster resources."

This went without saying.

If the members of his Peerage wanted to grow stronger, monster resources were essential.

Moreover, the World of the Dead could be developed into a sustainable dungeon world.

Unlike the Zombie World, Black Bullet World, or Demon Slayer World, which were destroyed after cleaning them out.

Once monsters were wiped out, they were truly gone.

Hearing Lynn's explanation, Miko and the others nodded seriously.

They also understood how important monster resources were.

If they wanted to level up, they had to rely on them.

"Second."

Lynn continued, "The various abilities and equipment in that World."

"For example, the Zanpakuto."

Lynn looked at the group, who had pitifully little equipment, and couldn't help twitching at the corners of his mouth.

"Our Peerage is in urgent need of weapons, and Zanpakuto can solve that."

Such a large group without a decent weapon among them...

Thinking of it gave Lynn a headache.

Fortunately.

With the existence of the World of the Dead, this problem could be resolved sooner rather than later!

Lastly.

There was the matter of increasing their influence.

This was the key to conquering the world.

Lynn stroked his chin, already having a plan in mind.

The World of the Soul Reapers.

Including Hell, there were four major realms in total.

If they could master all four, their influence would naturally grow.

Or rather...

That was Lynn's original plan.

Devour the Soul King!

Of course...

There was still one more important matter.

Utaha crossed her arms, pouted, and said, "Recruiting followers, right?"

Lynn looked at her approvingly and said, "As expected of you, Utaha. You understand me best."

Utaha rolled her eyes but said nothing.

Recruiting more members had always been part of the Peerage's main policy.

Besides...

More girls meant more fun.

Although she still felt a little jealous inside, Utaha had long gotten used to it.

As long as she had her place beside Lynn, she was satisfied.

After further discussion, Lynn made the final decision.

"Alright, it's settled!"

"Next stop, the World of the Soul Reapers!"

As soon as his voice fell.

Inside the Supernatural Investigation Club, the portal engraved with the character for "Death" began to shine brightly.

At the same time.

In the World of the Soul Reapers..

Yoruichi suddenly felt her chest heat up. She quickly pulled out the Devil's Summoning Document.

There, she saw Lynn's complicated expression.

He said speechlessly, "You keep stuffing me into your clothes?"

Yoruichi laughed awkwardly, "This way I feel like you're closer to my heart~"

Lynn curled his lips. This woman never spoke seriously.

"How's the reorganization of the station going?"

Hearing that, Yoruichi's heart sank.

The moment she had been dreading had finally come.

She hesitated for a while, then forced a smile, "It's... almost done."

With Urahara Kisuke's Zanpakuto abilities, changing the layout wasn't difficult.

"Good."

Lynn nodded, and the Devil's Summoning Document flew out of Yoruichi's hands into the air.

The next moment.

A portal resembling a black vortex stood quietly.

Step!

Under Yoruichi's gaze, a foot stepped forward.

Soon after, Lynn's figure appeared before her.

He looked at Yoruichi with a smile he thought was kind. "Oh, we meet again."

(To be continued.)

Chapter 210: Hueco Mundo

Yoruichi forced a smile as she looked at Lynn.

She really didn't want to meet Lynn again!

But...

What was meant to come would come eventually.

Lynn didn't care about Yoruichi's expression. He glanced around the surrounding environment and nodded in satisfaction.

This wasn't the same space as the one he had previously visited, but it was equipped with all the necessary facilities.

It could temporarily serve as a base for the Peerage.

"Good."

Lynn patted Yoruichi's shoulder, giving her an approving look.

"I can see you put effort into this."

Yoruichi squeezed out a smile. "As long as you're satisfied..."

She stared at Lynn and sighed helplessly.

During this time, Yoruichi had lived in constant anxiety.

Even when she managed to sleep soundly, she would wake up periodically to check the Devil's Summoning Document.

She had even thought about escaping to a remote place to hide.

But...

That Devil's Summoning Document was like a parasite!!

No matter what she tried, she couldn't shake it off!

There was no choice.

Yoruichi could only obediently wait for Lynn's judgment.

She blinked at him, trying her best to look clever.

Seeing this, Lynn raised his hand and patted her head like petting a cat.

Yoruichi's body stiffened immediately.

After rewarding her with a headpat, Miko and the others peeked out from the portal.

"This new world... doesn't seem all that special," Miko muttered to herself, then stepped through.

The moment Miko entered, she spotted Yoruichi's stiff figure.

Her expression turned strange.

The Spirit-Seer Devil ability...

Reacted.

And...

It was the same reaction she had when facing Yuuko.

Could it be...

Was this person a ghost?

Or perhaps... a Shinigami, like master mentioned before?

Yoruichi felt the gaze on her and looked over with her golden eyes.

Soon.

She saw a black-haired girl with golden pupils.

The moment Yoruichi laid eyes on Miko, her entire body trembled.

Her heart suddenly tightened.

What was that?!

There was shock in Yoruichi's eyes.

She was trembling just from looking at this girl?

It felt like...

Her instincts were afraid!!

Why...

Yoruichi narrowed her eyes and carefully studied Miko.

From the surface...

There was nothing particularly special.

She even looked quite ordinary.

There was no spiritual pressure either.

But...

Yoruichi didn't dare to underestimate her.

After all...

Lynn, who also had no spiritual pressure, had easily subdued her with a single blow!

A woman who could stay close to Lynn was definitely not ordinary.

Miko and Yoruichi stared at each other, creating a strange tension in the air.

Lynn noticed Yoruichi's bristling hair and became thoughtful.

It seemed Miko's Spirit-Seer Devil ability affected her.

So...

Miko did have a natural advantage against beings like Shinigami and Hollows.

As for why Yoruichi didn't react the same way to Lynn, it was simply because Lynn had complete control over his abilities.

Unless he chose to activate them, they wouldn't trigger any reaction.

After a while.

Kikyo, Midoriko, and the others also stepped through the portal.

When Yoruichi saw Kikyo, her body trembled again.

This woman gave her the same oppressive feeling as Miko!

Yoruichi instinctively took a step back.

Her expression grew stiff.

Were all these people unfriendly toward her?

Soon after.

The portal closed.

Yoruichi secretly observed the group of women behaving so intimately with Lynn.

These women...

Could they all be Lynn's?

Thinking back to her previous experiences, Yoruichi suddenly felt a bit fortunate.

After a short time.

Kisuke rushed over after receiving the news.

The first thing he noticed was the only man among the group of women.

That must be...

Lynn?

Kisuke lowered the brim of his hat, trying to suppress his presence.

This was his first time meeting Lynn.

But the previous silent confrontation had left a deep impression.

It had only been a simple barrier.

Yet it had completely surpassed anything he had seen before!

Even if he activated his Bankai, he wouldn't be able to break it.

From that moment.

Kisuke knew.

This man was not someone he could oppose.

In fact...

Kisuke felt that Lynn was far more terrifying than Aizen Sosuke!

At least...

When facing Aizen, he wouldn't have felt so utterly powerless.

Who exactly was this man summoned through the Devil's Summoning?

Moreover...

He couldn't sense any spiritual pressure at all!

Thinking of this, Kisuke narrowed his eyes.

In this world, whether it be Shinigami, Hollows, Quincy, or Fullbringers...

Spiritual pressure was the fundamental energy.

Yet here was someone with no spiritual pressure, but whose strength was so overwhelming.

It shattered his understanding of the world.

Kisuke let out a quiet sigh.

Surely hundreds of years of research couldn't be wrong?

He couldn't help but question his own research direction.

Fortunately.

Kisuke was not one to dwell on internal conflict.

He quickly suppressed these doubts.

His gaze swept over the others.

The moment he saw Miko and Kikyo, he froze.

A chill surged from the bottom of his heart!

It felt like...

Encountering a natural predator!

What was wrong with these two women?

Kisuke's heart shook violently.

Coincidentally, Lynn looked over at him.

Kisuke quickly lowered his head respectfully. "Nice to meet you."

In front of overwhelming strength, Kisuke abandoned his usual casual demeanor.

Lynn nodded calmly.

"You should know the way to Hueco Mundo."

Hueco Mundo?

Kisuke was slightly surprised.

Why would he want to go there?

Although puzzled, Kisuke didn't hesitate. "I have a realm-fixing device that can open a Garganta to Hueco Mundo."

"Then go prepare it."

Lynn's tone was casual.

Just like how they had taken over this place without notifying Kisuke.

Lynn didn't particularly care about Kisuke.

He only had two choices: surrender or die.

But...

Kisuke was indeed a useful talent.

Lynn stroked his chin, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

He needed to squeeze out every bit of value from Kisuke!

Suddenly, Kisuke shivered and looked up, puzzled.

He had the feeling...

That something terrible was about to happen.

Not finding anything unusual, Kisuke exchanged a glance with Yoruichi, then quickly left.

Reality was harsh, and strength ruled everything.

Since Lynn wanted to go to Hueco Mundo, Kisuke naturally had to prepare the realm-fixing device.

As for the idea of resisting?

He never even considered it.

Yoruichi couldn't last a single exchange. Thinking about fighting was just asking for death.

Of course.

Kisuke was still a bit curious about why Lynn wanted to go to Hueco Mundo.

Not to mention...

There was a dangerous individual tied to Hueco Mundo.

Kisuke couldn't help but worry.

If those two met...

Would it cause an unimaginable disaster?

Meanwhile.

When Yoruichi received Kisuke's gaze, the corner of her mouth twitched.

She understood what he meant.

But...

He didn't dare to mess with Lynn, so why should she?

That bastard Kisuke!

Yoruichi cursed him silently, then forced a stiff smile and cautiously asked, "Um..."

"What do you plan to do in Hueco Mundo?"

She had no choice.

Naturally, Yoruichi also knew what Kisuke knew.

Aizen Sosuke!

Involving someone like that, she had to find out no matter what.

Lynn lowered his eyes and looked at Yoruichi's cautious appearance with some amusement.

Then he raised his hand, and a black magic circle appeared in front of him.

The next moment.

Lynn pulled out a black leather manual.

He casually tossed it to Yoruichi and said calmly, "You'll understand once you read it."

"?"

(To be continued.)

Chapter 211: Charity?

Yoruichi held the entry manual in her hands, her expression confused.

But seeing that Lynn said nothing more, she lowered her head and began flipping through the pages.

Soon.

Information about the Peerage, reincarnation ceremony, Blessing system, and world invasions entered Yoruichi's sight.

As for the devil identity, she had already known about that through previous communication with Lynn via the Devil's Summoning.

So she wasn't particularly surprised.

However, this was her first time learning about the Peerage itself.

Over three million members?!

Seeing that number, Yoruichi was momentarily stunned.

Next was the reincarnation ceremony.

Her eyes flickered slightly.

They could actually reincarnate others into devils?

And also grant a Blessing system?!

Upon seeing the Blessing system, Yoruichi's grip on the manual tightened.

Unlocking one's potential, awakening abilities, and leveling up infinitely through training and defeating monsters?!

Wasn't this just like a Hogyoku?

Yoruichi's pupils trembled violently, and an intense sense of shock surged in her heart.

That meant...

As long as someone joined Lynn's Peerage and reincarnated as a devil, they would be granted a Blessing system that functioned similarly to a Hogyoku?

Boom boom!!

Yoruichi's heart raced uncontrollably.

She looked at the number of members again.

Over three million...

Gulp!

She swallowed hard, her fingers starting to tremble slightly.

Those three million Peerages...

Could it be that each one had the equivalent of a Hogyoku within them?

Thinking of that, Yoruichi's mind went blank.

Her heart trembled slightly.

Just one Hogyoku and Aizen Sosuke had already caused endless trouble for them.

And now...

There was a man who could casually distribute something even more terrifying?

She couldn't help but think...

This world was doomed...

But...

She sneaked a glance at Lynn, pursed her lips, and lowered her head again.

Even so, Yoruichi didn't dare say anything more.

Forget it...

Leave such big matters to those stronger than her.

In front of Lynn, even the problem of Aizen Sosuke seemed trivial.

Thus...

She decisively continued reading the manual.

Then.

She saw it.

Invasion of Other Worlds...

?

Invasion of Other Worlds!

Yoruichi's eyes showed confusion, but she quickly reacted!

She jerked her head up, looking at Lynn with a trembling voice. "The worlds you invaded... could they be..."

Lynn smiled slightly. "Exactly what you're thinking."

Snap!

The entry manual fell from Yoruichi's hands with a crisp sound.

"Hehe..."

Her eyes were lifeless, her body numb.

As expected...

This world was finished.

Over three million beings carrying Hogyoku-like Blessings, invading other worlds. Yoruichi didn't even want to imagine the consequences.

And to think she once thought Lynn was a good person.

But...

This method of invading other worlds!

Yoruichi pursed her lips, feeling a little depressed.

Of course.

The actual situation wasn't as catastrophic as she imagined.

At the very least...

The Blessing system's growth was gradual.

It wasn't as absurdly fast as the Hogyoku.

Speaking of which...

Was this another world?

Finally, Yoruichi understood why she couldn't sense any spiritual pressure from Lynn, despite his overwhelming strength.

It was a different world.

A different power system...

Ahhhh!!

Now was not the time to dwell on that!

Yoruichi was losing her mind.

If it was left to Soul Society alone...

Could they stop Lynn from invading this world?

She wasn't so sure.

Old man Yamamoto...

Could he really win?

Yoruichi didn't know the answer.

She looked at Lynn, opened her mouth, and felt a wave of complicated emotions.

Lynn glanced at her and said calmly, "Don't worry. I'm not a bad person. I won't destroy this world."

Well...

He only intended to control the three realms and devour the Soul King.

Yoruichi's eyelid twitched violently.

Yoruichi sank into complete despair.

They hadn't even solved the Aizen Sosuke problem yet, and here came another world-ending existence.

So tired. Might as well destroy everything.

Yoruichi chose to give up.

"How about joining my Peerage?" Lynn asked, seizing the opportunity.

"?"

Yoruichi froze, blinked, and pointed at herself in surprise. "Me too?"

Lynn shrugged. "Naturally."

Yoruichi's mind raced.

Join Lynn's Peerage?

She thought about the Blessing system, comparable to a Hogyoku.

And...

Maybe she could help save the world from within?

Besides...

If Lynn really wanted her, there was nothing she could do to resist anyway.

Ever since she was tied down by the Devil's Summoning and overwhelmed by Lynn's power, Yoruichi knew she couldn't escape.

Moreover...

She was extremely curious about the Blessing system's specifics.

Reading about it wasn't the same as experiencing it.

Besides...

Strengthening herself...

And the possibility of exploring other worlds...

Why did it sound like everything was an advantage?

Yoruichi stood in a daze, stroking her chin and thinking.

Hmm...

It really seemed that way?

Aside from becoming Lynn's Peerage and offering him her loyalty.

But Yoruichi didn't object to that.

After all, it was impossible to gain benefits without any cost.

As a mature woman, she understood perfectly.

In fact...

Yoruichi even felt the price was too low.

The Blessing system alone was enough to drive people insane with desire.

Plus, the opportunity to explore other worlds...

Thinking of this, she looked at Lynn with a strange expression.

"Are you really a devil?" she couldn't help but ask.

In her mind, devils were supposed to be evil, always looking to take everything from you for the smallest favor.

But this...

Felt more like charity.

Lynn: "?"

He showed a subtle expression.

He somehow felt...

Offended?

Yoruichi successfully convinced herself with the list of advantages.

Of course...

Assuming everything written in the manual was true.

But...

She didn't think someone like Lynn needed to deceive her.

If he really wanted her, he could have taken her by force that day.

Therefore...

Yoruichi decisively said, "Please allow me to join your Peerage!"

Lynn: "..."

That simple?

Lynn was a bit surprised at how quickly she switched sides.

Especially when he had just told her he was planning to invade her world.

He shook his head, feeling a little puzzled about what went through Yoruichi's mind.

But...

Like he said, it would be a waste not to accept her.

"You should have seen the process of the reincarnation ceremony," Lynn said, pointing at the entry manual still lying on the ground.

Yoruichi froze, then squatted down to pick up the manual. She flicked her purple ponytail and grinned brightly. "Take off all my clothes, right?"

Yoruichi spoke without a trace of embarrassment.

She was no stranger to stripping.

Every time she transformed into a black cat, her clothes naturally fell off.

Besides...

Lynn had already seen everything before.

There was no point being shy about it now.

And...

Since she agreed to join Lynn's Peerage, her body naturally belonged to him.

Yoruichi saw it very clearly.

She raised her chin proudly. "There's an empty room over there."

With that, she turned and walked away.

Lynn: "..."

Why did it feel like she was more proactive than him?

Lynn laughed and followed her.

Kikyo and the others exchanged glances.

This...

He already recruited a new follower just after arriving?

Well...

As expected of Lord Lynn!

Miko felt a little anxious.

Could it be...

She was going to fall behind again?

(To be continued.)
