Chapter 67: Ideal Devil
Chapter 67: Ideal Devil
Seitenshi wanted change!
She wanted to change her weak and powerless self.
She wanted to change the fate of the Cursed Children.
She wanted to…
Change this twisted world.
Seitenshi stared blankly at Lynn's outstretched hand. A strange impulse stirred in her chest.
But, she hadn't forgotten Lynn's earlier, extreme words.
Wouldn't it be enough to eliminate humans?
In this world, only devils are enough.
At the end of the day, eliminating humanity… that was still far too terrifying.
Seitenshi 's heart filled with bitterness.
What she desired was peaceful coexistence between humans and Cursed Children.
Even if...
Even if the "New Gastrea Law" was opposed by 82% of Tokyo's population.
Even if...
Even if it was fiercely resisted by the top authorities.
Even if…
Yes, even if coexistence seemed almost impossible.
But still…
Was it truly that extreme? That only one side, either humans or Cursed Children, could survive?
After all—
Cursed Children were still human too!
Her gaze was clouded, full of inner conflict.
Seeing her hesitating like that, Lynn decided to fan the flames further.
"You've seen the corpse of a Cursed Child who didn't reach 15, haven't you?"
Seitenshi froze.
Due to the Gastrea virus, even with the help of suppressants, most Cursed Children didn't live beyond the age of 15.
Her eyelashes trembled. "Mr. Lynn… what do you mean?"
"The Gastrea virus means nothing to devils."
Her eyes suddenly widened. Her violet pupils showed disbelief and the faintest glimmer of hope.
Her voice trembled. "Mr. Lynn… can you cure the virus inside them?"
That's right!
Mr. Lynn was a devil!
Maybe…
He really could cure the Gastrea virus!
Seeing her reaction, Lynn smirked. His gaze turned deep.
He leaned closer to her ear and whispered, "Now that you know how to save them, are you still going to turn away?"
Seitenshi bit her lip tightly, fists clenched.
She couldn't.
She had tried to do so much for the Cursed Children.
But all her efforts, every single one had failed.
She was powerless.
She couldn't change anything.
The Cursed Children were still being discriminated against and oppressed.
But now, the chance to save them was right in front of her.
She couldn't let it slip away!
Besides…
This might be her one and only way to help the Cursed Children.
As long as she could save them.
She took a deep breath, lowered her head, and bowed deeply.
"Please, Mr. Lynn!"
"Please… save those children!"
"If I can protect the Cursed Children, then I…"
She closed her eyes, her voice trembling as she spoke the final words.
"…I'm willing to do anything!"
As expected, she was someone who could sacrifice herself for the sake of others.
Lynn's lips curled upward.
"Then, let's begin your transformation into a devil."
Seitenshi kept her eyes shut, silent but her lashes trembled violently.
There was always a price when dealing with a devil.
As the supreme ruler of the Tokyo Area, she was all too familiar with human filth and hypocrisy.
Becoming a devil… so be it.
As for Lynn's words about destroying humanity…
A sense of helplessness flashed through her heart.
She didn't want humanity to collapse.
But she also wanted to save the Cursed Children.
The fate of humanity…
She'd think about it again after becoming a devil.
Seitenshi chose to run from that part.
Shameful but necessary.
Her silence was as good as agreement.
Lynn didn't hold back. "Take off your clothes."
Seitenshi: "!"
Her eyes shot open.
Her pupils trembled violently, and she parted her lips as if to speak.
Do I have to undress to become a devil?
She wanted to ask but in the end, she just let out a long sigh.
She'd just said she was willing to do anything.
Could she really back down just because she was told to undress?
She thought of the Cursed Children who were forced to live in the sewers…
Slowly, she raised a trembling hand and began to remove her dress.
Only her light blue undergarments remained.
Her eyes remained tightly shut, unwilling to meet Lynn's gaze.
But she could feel it.
Her body felt hot.
As if Lynn's gaze was directly burning her skin.
"Show me your back."
Lynn didn't place the Evil Piece directly in front of her.
Seitenshi already looked unstable.
If he did that, it might push her over the edge.
She might faint on the spot.
Sure enough.
When she heard Lynn's words, Seitenshi exhaled in relief.
It was awkward to turn her back, but at least she wouldn't have to look him in the eye.
Same principle.
It's embarrassing to run away but it works!
She turned around.
Lips pursed, she waited for Lynn's next command.
"…Lie down."
"Mmphh~"
Her entire body shuddered as she collapsed onto the desk.
Inappropriate images flashed through her mind.
Click!
Her eyes went wide, a trace of shame flickering in her violet pupils.
He's unlocking something?
He wouldn't… actually…
Just as her mind began to spiral into chaotic thoughts. A cold sensation brushed across her skin.
She gasped involuntarily, her body flinching.
Something had entered her body!
Her entire being rapidly heated up, and a strange energy surged outward!
The changes in her blood and body nearly made her moan.
She bit her lip, forcing herself to endure.
Her waist and hips, just above her rear it tickled unbearably…
Endure it…!
At the same time, Lynn received a system notification.
[Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained a new Peerage member: Seitenshi!]

Lynn narrowed his eyes, staring at Seitenshi's smooth, pale back.
The Blessing data appeared before him.

Sounds like a control-type ability?
Lynn wasn't entirely sure about the full extent of [Ideal Devil].
Temporarily putting it aside, he copied the Blessing information, gave Seitenshi a light pat on the back, and said:
"It's done. The reincarnation ceremony was a success. You're now a proper devil."
Seitenshi, still lying on the desk, looked dazed.
She…
She was a devil now?
Her body felt stronger.
And… she had some kind of mysterious power now.
A devil's power?
Her mind swirled with questions, but when she remembered she was half-naked, her face flushed red.
She fumbled to fasten her dress and quickly got dressed again.
Haa~
Once clothed, Seitenshi finally let out a sigh of relief.
Then—
A piece of paper appeared in front of her.
"Your Blessings information. Take a look."
