Lynn stared at the [Devil's Summoning] contract, preparing to check who had accepted it in the world of soul reapers.
With a single thought, the contract immediately opened a passage to that world.
---
Bleach.
The black parchment began to glow faintly.
Lynn's shadow slowly materialized above it. His eyes narrowed as he observed his surroundings.
A dense mist floated across the ground. In the distance, the faint sound of flowing water echoed.
Following the sound, Lynn spotted a dark-skinned beauty with an athletic figure.
His brow lifted. "Shihouin Yoruichi?"
Yoruichi's golden eyes flicked over at the voice.
She froze upon seeing Lynn's shadow atop the parchment. In the next moment, she used Shunpo and instantly appeared before him, completely naked.
Her hand lashed out toward Lynn.
However—
It passed straight through.
Yoruichi's eyes sharpened as she immediately turned and grabbed the devil's summoning document.
Lynn simply stroked his chin and watched quietly, letting her do as she pleased.
Now that she was closer, the mist no longer concealed her. Yoruichi's figure came clearly into view.
She narrowed her eyes and began scrubbing the parchment hard, but nothing happened.
Not even a wrinkle appeared.
She wasn't surprised.
Ever since this Devil's Summoning parchment stuck to her like a cursed charm, she and Urahara Kisuke had tried countless ways to destroy it.
But...
They had yet to discover any limit to the document's durability.
That only made them more cautious toward it.
Still, because nothing strange had occurred so far, her vigilance had relaxed.
Until now.
"Tch…"
Yoruichi scowled at Lynn. "You the owner of this damned thing?"
Lynn smiled. "Thanks for the warm welcome."
"Tch!"
Yoruichi clenched her fist, tempted to punch him.
But after realizing she couldn't physically touch him, she gritted her teeth and threw the contract to the ground. She then raised her foot to stomp on it.
"Hmm… this angle…"
Lynn's gaze drifted downward, fixing on a very specific location, expression unreadable.
Yoruichi froze.
Then, in a flash, she appeared by her clothes and got dressed.
Lynn guided the summoning parchment to float upward lazily.
The moment he saw Yoruichi, he realized why the summoning hadn't been triggered earlier.
Of course she'd be cautious.
If it had been Aizen Sosuke, he would've activated it on the same day.
After dressing, Yoruichi returned, eyes sharp and hostile.
"Is your goal to spy using that thing?"
She crossed her arms.
"If that's the case, congrats. You succeeded."
He watched me bathe.
And I couldn't touch him.
I'll definitely find a way to beat him up!
Yoruichi's eyes narrowed coldly. "You coward hiding in the shadows. If you've got the guts, face me head-on!"
Lynn raised an eyebrow and smiled. "You said it."
The moment he finished, the summoning parchment emitted a dark glow.
A black magic circle formed beneath it.
Yoruichi's heart skipped a beat. She immediately used Shunpo to distance herself.
In the next second, Lynn appeared in the magic circle.
Her eyes widened.
He really came?
Does he have any idea who he's dealing with?
Without hesitation, Yoruichi vanished again.
She reappeared right in front of Lynn.
Whoosh—
A powerful gust split the air as her long leg swept toward Lynn's face.
Bang!
A dull sound rang out.
Yoruichi's pupils shrank.
She stared at Lynn's raised arm, blocking her strike.
So hard!
It was like kicking a mountain!
Before she could react, Lynn grabbed her leg.
Her heart jumped. She tried to retreat.
But Lynn's grip was like steel. She couldn't move an inch.
Seeing this, she twisted her body and launched a kick with her other leg.
Bang!
Same result.
He caught it with ease.
Yoruichi was stunned.
Who the hell is this guy?!
Not a Soul Reaper. Not a Hollow.
A Quincy? A Fullbringer?
Her thoughts spun.
But Lynn didn't give her time to figure it out.
Crash!
She suddenly felt her body lift, then—
Bang!
Her head smashed into the floor.
Hiss—
That hurt—
Still, Yoruichi didn't hesitate.
"Shunkō!"
Boom!!
A surge of spiritual pressure exploded outward.
Golden lightning coiled around her like writhing serpents.
Buzz—
She slammed her palms to the ground.
Her whole body moved so fast it felt like she was dropping frames in reality.
She gathered her full power into the legs Lynn was holding.
Yoruichi grinned. "Better watch your hands!"
Lynn glanced at her calmly.
One second. Two seconds.
Her grin froze.
Why… nothing happened?
Lynn lowered his eyelids slightly. "This little warm-up ends now."
The words fell.
Golden chains extended from the void.
Clink—
The sound shook Yoruichi's mind.
She tried to flee using Shunko-enhanced speed.
But under Lynn's suppression, it was as if she was moving in slow motion.
She couldn't move at all! Sёarch* The NovelZone.fun website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Only now did she realize...
She had provoked something terrifying.
Even Aizen had never overwhelmed her this completely.
As she reeled in disbelief, the golden chains had already wrapped tightly around her.
Seeing this, Lynn released her legs.
Thud—
Yoruichi's head hit the floor again.
"Nn…"
She ignored the pain and squirmed madly, trying to escape.
But the golden chains had their own unique trait.
The more she struggled, the tighter they became.
Soon, her body was outlined clearly beneath the binds.
"Tch!"
Yoruichi snorted softly, her bronze skin unblushing.
But her thighs squeezed together instinctively.
She gritted her teeth.
Lynn calmly sat atop her, running his fingers across her body.
As his fingers slid, the sound of tearing slowly rose.
Feeling the breeze on her skin, Yoruichi's body went rigid.
Lynn smiled. "Face you head-on?"
"Sorry, that was a bit arrogant."
Yoruichi immediately admitted defeat.
But she still cursed inwardly.
Damn it!
Even my transformation ability is sealed?!
Kisuke!
Urahara Kisuke!!
Where the hell are you?!
You didn't notice something this massive?!
Are you deaf?! Blind?!
If you don't show up soon, I'm really going to get violated!!
Yoruichi cursed Kisuke like crazy in her heart.
---
Hot Spring, Outside.
Urahara Kisuke stood in front of a barrier, silent.
When was the last time something stopped him?
---
Inside.
Yoruichi gave Lynn a fawning smile.
She had no choice.
No shame in conceding for now.
Lynn remained calm. "I'll ask, you answer."
Yoruichi nodded quickly.
She let out a breath of relief.
As long as he wants something, there's room to negotiate!
Still, she wept inside.
When had the great Shihouin Yoruichi ever been in such a pitiful state?
"Has Rukia Kuchiki appeared in the human world?"
"…?"
Her confused look answered the question.
Lynn understood.
So the plot hadn't started yet?
Not that it mattered.
He wasn't here for the story.
His goal was clear: Peerage candidates, spirit beasts, Zanpakuto, Hōgyoku—anything useful.
Plot derailment?
Irrelevant.
Besides...
Since arriving in this world, Lynn had faintly sensed something calling to him.
But that could wait.
He had to deal with the Old Maou Faction in the main world first.
Still…
He needed a base of operations here.
Lynn glanced at Yoruichi and smirked.
This place would do nicely.
He pinched her chin gently.
"You don't want me to actually do it, right?"
Yoruichi: "!"
She shook her head violently!
Lynn clicked his tongue.
You asked for it, and now you don't want it?
But...
He had no interest in forcing anyone.
"Well, in exchange…"
"I'm taking over this place."
"…?"
Yoruichi blinked.
But Lynn offered no further explanation.
He activated a magic circle and returned to the main world.
Leaving Yoruichi in a daze.
Clink—
The golden chains loosened.
Her entire body instantly relaxed.
Her spiritual energy began to flow smoothly again.
She restored her torn clothing casually, then stared at the spot Lynn vanished from, lost in thought.
Clack—
The bathhouse door opened.
Urahara Kisuke walked in.
"…What the hell happened?"
