The King's Name!

After understanding his golden finger, Gilgamesh shifted his thoughts, and a status panel visible only to him appeared before his eyes.

[Name: Gilgamesh

King Points: 0.]

Looking at the familiar status panel, Gilgamesh nodded slightly.

The status panel before him was actually that of Young Gil; Gilgamesh had examined it carefully when he first drew it, so he was not surprised.

However, Young Gil's status panel belonged to the Type-Moon world and was not applicable to the Bleach world he currently inhabited.

To give the simplest example:

Young Gil was a Heroic Spirit. Although he possessed an A-rank Independent Action ability, both his existence and the use of his Noble Phantasms required the consumption of mana.

The Bleach world clearly lacked the mana of the Type-Moon world, nor did it have any Masters capable of supporting a Heroic Spirit's mana requirements.

This meant that once the mana inherent to the Young Gil template was exhausted, Gilgamesh would likely be unable to use the power provided by the template.

With this in mind, Gilgamesh opened the exchange shop and searched for Kingly character templates available in the Bleach world.

Gilgamesh scanned the exchangeable mortal Kingly character templates briefly before choosing to ignore them.

He discovered that the mortal Kingly character templates possessed almost no special powers, required very few exchange points, and had very low growth potential.

In the end, Gilgamesh found only four Kingly character templates that met his requirements.

[Barragan Luisenbarn (Young) (Growth Potential A): 100 million points.]

[Sosuke Aizen (Young) (Growth Potential A): 500 million points.]

[Yhwach (Young) (Growth Potential S): 1 billion points.]

[Soul King (Young) (Growth Potential S): 10 billion points.]

In the Bleach timeline, Barragan was an ancient Menos Grande and the former King of Hueco Mundo.

Aizen had defeated Barragan to become the new King of Hueco Mundo.

Yhwach was the son of the Soul King and the Emperor of the Wandenreich.

As for the Soul King, he could be considered the King of the Bleach world.

However, Gilgamesh found it strange that the Soul King's growth potential was only S-rank, the same as Yhwach's.

Clearly, in the Bleach timeline, the strength displayed by the Soul King was far greater than that of Yhwach; even the current three realms were separated through the power of the Soul King.

Furthermore, the Young Gil template he currently possessed was also S-rank.

Although Gilgamesh did not know why, he understood one thing.

Even if growth potential was the same, the King Points required for exchange could still differ.

Most importantly, Gilgamesh did not have nearly enough King Points to exchange for these Kingly character templates.

Additionally, Gilgamesh discovered that individuals like Gotei 13 Captain-Commander Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto and the members of the Royal Guard had no character templates.

This was because they were not classified as Kingly characters by the Kingly System.

Thinking about it carefully, this was actually normal, as they could all be considered subordinates of the Soul King.

Without dwelling on this issue further, Gilgamesh stopped browsing the Bleach world character templates and turned his attention to other items.

Very quickly, Gilgamesh found the item he desired.

[Reiatsu (Initial): 100 points.]

Reiatsu was the unique power system of the Bleach world.

Simply put, the stronger the Reiatsu, the stronger the power.

In the original plot, Sosuke Aizen had stated, "A battle between Shinigami is, in truth, a battle of Reiatsu."

As long as he possessed initial Reiatsu, Gilgamesh could continuously enhance it through the Kingly System's point-allocation ability, without having to worry about future growth issues.

The only problem now was that Gilgamesh could not even produce the 100 King Points required.

Thinking this, Gilgamesh's gaze could not help but drift toward Renji Abarai and Rukia, and he secretly thought to himself: They are both major plot characters. If I subdue them, I will surely be able to obtain these 100 King Points.

Seemingly sensing the gaze of Gilgamesh, Renji Abarai and Rukia, who had been bickering, turned their eyes toward him in unison.

Upon doing so, they were met with the sight of Gilgamesh's unique wine-red eyes.

Perhaps because his initial character template was that of Young Gil, Gilgamesh's current appearance and physique were identical to the boy—a beautiful youth with golden hair and red eyes.

Golden Rule (Body) was a personal skill of Young Gil, one that manifested the nature of an endearing, beautiful youth, possessing a magical effect that could charm anyone regardless of gender.

Of course, this charm effect could be avoided through the Magic Resistance skill.

Even without Magic Resistance, the effect could be mitigated if one possessed a sufficiently strong will.

The reason Rukia had shown goodwill toward Gilgamesh was precisely because of the power of Golden Rule (Body).

Although Rukia was still young, she had already witnessed far too much evil in the lawless district of Inuzuri.

Therefore, she knew very well how foolish it was to display one's kindness in a place like this.

Renji Abarai was the same; the reason he felt a sense of attraction toward Gilgamesh was also due to the power of Golden Rule (Body).

And because personal skills were innate passive abilities, even Gilgamesh could not control the switch.

Before they could speak, they heard Gilgamesh say in a voice that was youthful yet already possessed a sense of majesty: "This King has just arrived; I wonder if you two would be willing to act as my guides in this realm."

"Rest assured, this King will provide you with sufficient compensation."

It was the first time Renji Abarai and Rukia had ever heard someone refer to themselves as "This King," and they could not help but exchange bewildered glances.

Immediately, Renji Abarai frowned and asked: "This King? Is your name 'This King'?"

Gilgamesh's expression did not change in the slightest as he replied: "This King is merely a title; my true name is Gilgamesh, and I once served as the king of a human nation."

Gilgamesh did not know if the existence of Gilgamesh was known in this world, but he hoped it was, and he hoped that Renji Abarai and Rukia had heard of him.

That would make the difficulty of winning them over much lower.

However, Gilgamesh was quickly disappointed.

For both Renji Abarai and Rukia wore expressions of confusion, clearly having never heard the name "Gilgamesh" before.

Yet, their faces also betrayed surprise, shock, skepticism, and bewilderment.

It was evident that they did not fully believe Gilgamesh's words.
