He thought for a moment, then looked at Enma Ai.
"Little Ai, I'm leaving Hell to you from now on. You must become the Enma as soon as possible!"
Lynn patted her head, offering encouragement.
Enma Ai looked at Lynn and then nodded heavily. "I will!"
Lynn nodded in satisfaction, then thought of her Hell Correspondence ability and said, "Can you turn that Hell website of yours into a demon website?"
Enma Ai was stunned for a moment, then nodded. "I can."
"Good."
The corner of Lynn's mouth curled up, and he said:
"I will grant you the authority of the demon chess pieces. Change your current setting—where only those with deep resentment can see the website—to..."
"...those guided by the demon chess pieces."
"How about it? Can you do that?"
Enma Ai was silent for a moment, then said earnestly, "I will try my best!"
"Good, that's the spirit!"
Then, Lynn talked to her and Kikuri about the situation with their familiars, and incidentally gave each of them a smartphone exclusive to familiars.
When talking about the familiars, Lynn didn't avoid Iwanaga Kotoko.
Of course.
However, he did not reveal the functions of the Otherworld or the Grace System.
After chatting for a while, Lynn wandered around Hell.
Hmm...
The current state of the Japanese Hell can only be described as complicated.
Aside from the souls forcibly brought in by the Hell Girl program established by the Three-Eyed Spider, there were no other souls entering Hell through normal channels at all.
And...
"There isn't a single Hell employee?"
Lynn's mouth twitched. "That really is..."
"...miserable."
Seeing the state of Hell, Lynn fell into deep thought.
Although Lynn only obtained the authority of the Enma and didn't need to fulfill the duties of an Enma,
he could still be considered the master of the Japanese Hell.
Furthermore, he speculated that if Little Ai advanced further and became the Enma, he would also receive feedback.
Therefore...
The development of Hell was very necessary.
Lynn fell into deep thought, then suddenly patted Lingyue Xianji on her dog head and said, "Your West Country Dog Demon lineage..."
"...have you ever thought about developing in another place?"
"?"
A question mark flashed in the mind of Lingyue Xianji, who was lying in Lynn's arms, and she asked, "What does Lord Lynn mean..."
"...by Hell?"
"Exactly!"
Lynn smiled and asked, "What do you think?"
Hehe...
Asking?
Lingyue Xianji looked at Lynn's smile; no matter how she looked at it, it seemed like a notification.
She nodded decisively. "I think it's great!"
"Good, you have great awareness!"
Lynn nodded in appreciation, then rewarded her with a pat.
Then he said, "After you leave Hell, head to the Warring States period and bring a batch over to adapt first."
Although Hell is currently waiting to be rebuilt,
but...
once it develops, the Dog-Demon Clan will be considered founding members and will definitely be able to secure a position.
Being part of the system is much better than just messing around outside.
Lingyue Xianji didn't have any feelings of resistance in her heart.
She understood that Lord Lynn was destined to walk a path with no end in sight.
The Dog-Demon Clan just needed to follow closely behind him.
However...
She suddenly thought of something, and said in a gloomy tone, "Could it be..."
"...that this is the reason why there is no voice of our Dog-Demon Clan in modern society?"
Lynn paused, then looked up at the sky. "Let's just say it is..."
If the Dog-Demon Clan collectively moved into the modern Hell, they would indeed disappear for a full five hundred years.
Therefore...
it would naturally be impossible to find their traces in modern society.
Hiss—
Time seclusion?
Could he be the culprit behind the decline of the Dog-Demon Clan?
The human and the dog chatted as they arrived at the border of Hell.
Looking at the boundary membrane before him, Lynn narrowed his eyes.
After obtaining the 'Enma' authority, he understood that as long as he crossed this membrane, he could travel to the hells of other mythological systems.
Lynn poked it and found that the membrane was quite resilient.
He rubbed his chin and temporarily gave up the idea of contacting other pantheons.
For now...
...it wasn't the time yet.
After touring Hell, Lynn returned to the thatched cottage to discuss matters related to Hell's operations with Enma Ai.
For the current Hell, the main issue was a lack of manpower.
No matter what needed to be done, there was no one to do it, so operations naturally couldn't be expanded.
However...
Lynn told her about the Dog-Demon Clan.
Upon hearing this, Kikuri's eyes lit up. "As long as there is manpower, Hell's operations can definitely continue!"
As an avatar of the Three-Eyed Spider, she had a deeper understanding of Hell.
Therefore, Lynn continued to let her serve as Enma Ai's assistant.
"Oh, right."
Enma Ai suddenly remembered something. "I have a few other helpers."
Before long.
--- Seeking Flowers ---
Two men and a woman appeared in the thatched cottage.
"Hone Onna, Ichimoku Ren, Wanyuudo."
Enma Ai introduced their names one by one, then said to them, "This is our new master."
Hone Onna: "?"
Ichimoku Ren and Wanyuudo looked at each other, then fell silent.
Hell...
...has changed leadership?
But...
since the young lady had said so, they had no objections, and they all bowed to Lynn. "Greetings, Master!"
Lynn's mouth twitched.
Why...
...does this feel like a yakuza vibe?
After giving instructions for Hell's future development, Lynn prepared to leave.
Before leaving, he also took the opportunity to reincarnate Hone Onna as a familiar.
"Take off my clothes?"
In the quiet, empty room, Hone Onna was stunned for a moment, then said nonchalantly, "Does Master want to taste Hone Onna?"
Lynn rubbed his chin. "I am indeed a bit curious..."
"...but, just exposing your back will do."
Hone Onna was taken aback, then smiled. "I see, it seems I overthought things."
After speaking, she loosened her kimono, revealing her beautiful back.
Lynn pressed the demon chess pieces onto it.
The next second, the Grace information appeared.
Hone Onna
Middle-Level Demon

[White Bone Chaos]
Summons countless bone spikes from the ground to pierce enemies. The bone spikes have a [Frost] effect, slowing the target's movements.

For every enemy killed, their bones can be transformed into temporary weapons (such as bone blades or bone bows). The strength of the weapons increases with the enemy's level.

Targets struck will grow [Bone Coral] in their wounds, which continuously erodes their flesh until their entire body turns to stone.) Crimson Death Makeup (Burns one's own bones to significantly increase attack speed and critical hit rate for a short time. After it ends, it requires consuming a large amount of mental energy to repair the body.)
Demonization (Avici Skeleton)
"Bone Demon..."
To think, it was another special demon.
Lynn made a copy of her Falna and took the opportunity to explain the abilities of the Falna, which left Hone Onna wide-eyed with wonder.
Lynn also took the chance to learn about her past.
"I see..."
Before being forced to become a geisha, she had died by throwing herself into a river out of resentment.
Then, because of the resentment in her heart, she became the legendary Hone Onna.
They chatted for a while longer.
After telling Hone Onna about the situation of his Familia, Lynn left behind a mobile phone and departed.
Staring at the spot where Lynn had disappeared, Hone Onna's eyes flickered as she muttered, "This time, I really have pledged myself to an incredible master..."
After leaving Hell.
Iwanaga Kotoko followed behind Lynn, her eyes still a bit dazed.
"To think we actually came back from Hell alive..."
The moment she first entered Hell, she had been quite nervous.
Especially with Kikuri's eerie appearance.
But...
They had come out unscathed.
Iwanaga Kotoko looked at Lynn and sighed, "As expected of the Devil King."
After entering Hell, Lynn had solved all the problems in a simply overwhelming manner.
And...
He had even become the master of Hell.
"Hiss—"
Today's experience was more thrilling than any other!
Even more thrilling than the day she first became the God of Wisdom.
Suddenly, Lynn stopped in his tracks.
Iwanaga Kotoko, lost in thought about Lynn, didn't stop and walked straight into his back.
"Ouch!"
Iwanaga Kotoko felt a pain in her forehead, hurriedly covered it, and crouched on the ground, whimpering.
"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!"
It felt like she had slammed into a steel plate!
Lynn turned around, looked down at her, and smiled, "Miss God of Wisdom, it's time to talk about the payment for this commission."
"Eh?"
