Chapter 2: The King's Prerogative
After understanding his golden finger, Gilgamesh's thoughts stirred, and a status panel visible only to him appeared before his eyes.
[Name: Gilgamesh
Character Template: Child Gil (Childhood)
Class: Archer
Strength: C
Endurance: C
Agility: C
Magic: C

King's Way Points: 0.]
Looking at the familiar status panel, Gilgamesh nodded slightly.
The status panel before him was actually Child Gil's status panel, which Gilgamesh had carefully examined when he drew it, so he was not surprised.
However, Child Gil's status panel was from the Type-Moon World and was not applicable to the Bleach world he was currently in.
To give a simple example.
Child Gil was a Heroic Spirit, and although he possessed A-rank Independent Action, both his existence and the use of his Noble Phantasm required the consumption of magic.
However, the Bleach world clearly did not have the magic of the Type-Moon World, nor did it have Masters who could support a Heroic Spirit's magic.
This meant that once Child Gil's inherent magic was exhausted, Gilgamesh would likely be unable to use the power brought by the Child Gil template.
Thinking this, Gilgamesh opened the exchange store and found the King's Way character templates that could be exchanged in the Bleach world.
Gilgamesh briefly scanned the exchangeable King's Way character templates from the human world, then chose to ignore them.
Because Gilgamesh found that the King's character templates in the human world almost had no special powers, so the exchange points required were very few, and their growth potential was also very low.
Ultimately, Gilgamesh only found four King's Way character templates that met his needs.
[Baraggan Louisenbairn (Childhood) (Growth Potential A): 100 million points.]
[Sosuke Aizen (Childhood) (Growth Potential A): 500 million points.]
[Yhwach (Childhood) (Growth Potential S): 1 billion points.]
[Soul King (Childhood) (Growth Potential S): 10 billion points.]
In the Bleach timeline, Baraggan was an ancient Menos Grande and the previous King of Hueco Mundo.
Aizen defeated Baraggan and became the new King of Hueco Mundo.
And Yhwach was the Soul King's son and the King of the Wandenreich.
As for the Soul King, he could be said to be the world king of the Bleach world.
It was just that Gilgamesh was a little strange as to why the Soul King's growth potential was only S-rank, the same as Yhwach's.
Clearly, in the Bleach timeline, the Soul King's demonstrated power was far stronger than Yhwach's, and even the current Three Realms were separated by the Soul King's power.
Also, the Child Gil character template he currently possessed was also S-rank.
Although Gilgamesh didn't know why, he did know one thing.
That is, even if the growth potential is the same, the King's Way points required for exchange may be different.
Most importantly, Gilgamesh simply didn't have that many King's Way points to exchange for these King's Way character templates.
In addition, Gilgamesh also found that characters like the Thirteenth Division Captain Commander Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni and all Zero Squad members did not have character templates.
Because they were not judged as King's Way characters in the King's Way System.
It's actually normal when you think about it, because they can all be considered subordinates of the Soul King.
Without continuing to ponder this question, Gilgamesh also stopped browsing the Bleach world's character templates and instead began to browse other items.
Soon, Gilgamesh found the item he wanted.
[Spiritual Pressure (Initial): 100 points.]
Spiritual Pressure is a unique power system in the Bleach world.
Simply put, the stronger the Spiritual Pressure, the stronger the power.
In the original plot, Sosuke Aizen once said, 'A Shinigami's battle is actually a battle of Spiritual Pressure.'
As long as he possessed initial Spiritual Pressure, Gilgamesh could continuously add points through the King's Way System's point-adding ability to enhance it, completely without worrying about subsequent growth issues.
The only problem now was that Gilgamesh couldn't even produce 100 King's Way points.
Thinking this, Gilgamesh's gaze couldn't help but turn towards Abarai Renji and Rukia, secretly thinking: 'They are both main plot characters. If I subdue them, I will surely be able to obtain these 100 King's Way points.'
As if sensing Gilgamesh's gaze, Abarai Renji and Rukia, who were bickering, simultaneously looked over.
Upon seeing him, they saw Gilgamesh's unique burgundy eyes.
Perhaps because the initial character template was Child Gil, Gilgamesh's appearance and physique were now exactly like Child Gil's, a golden-haired, red-eyed beautiful youth.
And Beauty of the Youth is Child Gil's innate skill, a skill that displays the nature of a lovable beautiful youth, with a magical effect that can charm both men and women.
Of course, the charming effect can be avoided through Magic Resistance skills.
Even without Magic Resistance, if there is a will to resist, the effect can be reduced.
The reason Rukia showed kindness to Gilgamesh was also due to the ability of Beauty of the Youth.
Although Rukia was young now, she had witnessed too much evil in this chaotic Hōkō.
So she knew very well how foolish it was to show one's kindness in such a place.
Abarai Renji was also affected; the reason he felt a stir in his heart towards Gilgamesh was also due to the ability of Beauty of the Youth.
And because innate skills are inherent passive skills, even Gilgamesh could not control their on/off switch.
Before they could speak, they heard Gilgamesh say in a childish yet already authoritative voice, "This King has just arrived. I wonder if you two would be willing to be This King's guides in this realm?"
"Rest assured, This King will give you sufficient compensation."
Abarai Renji and Rukia had never heard anyone refer to themselves as 'This King' before, and they couldn't help but look at each other.
Immediately, Abarai Renji frowned and asked, "'This King'? Is your name 'This King'?"
Gilgamesh's expression remained unchanged 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 didn't know if a Gilgamesh existed in this world, but he hoped there was, and he hoped Abarai Renji and Rukia had heard of him.
This would significantly reduce the difficulty of subduing them.
However, Gilgamesh was quickly disappointed.
Because Abarai Renji and Rukia both showed bewildered expressions, clearly having never heard of the name 'Gilgamesh'.
But their faces all showed expressions of surprise, shock, doubt, and confusion.
Clearly, they didn't fully believe Gilgamesh's words.
