Chapter 219 - Ranks of Gold Characters

"Double Gold! Hahahaha!"

"It's Double Gold!"

Takeshi had not been this excited in a long time, jumping and hopping around the room.

The probability of getting two Golds in one 10× draw is pitifully low. Of course, it's much higher than winning a lottery, but look at how many people buy lottery tickets.

"Calm down! Let's first see who was drawn this time." Takeshi forcibly calmed his excited heart.

He wasn't a novice anymore. To him, Gold characters were divided into four tiers.

Low-tier.

Which is the rank of Yoriichi and Toji.

Gold characters of this tier have a specific specialty. For example, Yoriichi's unparalleled swordsmanship and Toji's extremely strong physical body.

However, Gold characters of this tier have some shortcomings. Yoriichi's stats are too low, and Toji only has his physical body but no skills.

When facing special circumstances, they lack sufficient countermeasures.

They are relatively useful when dealing with weaker opponents, but it is difficult to gain an overwhelming advantage against powerful ones.

Next is the Mid-tier.

The representatives are Ulquiorra and Satoru.

Gold characters of this tier have extremely great overall strength. Besides possessing powerful abilities, they also have ultimate moves kept hidden.

For example, Ulquiorra possesses Sonído, which is comparable to instantaneous movement, the extremely tough defense of Hierro, and high speed and power. His ultimate move, Lanza del Relampago, is an incredibly powerful attack, even when considering the late stage of Bleach.

As for Gojo Satoru, Infinity ensures he is virtually immune to over ninety percent of attacks, possesses ultra-high mobility, and super strong offense.

Simply based on skills, Gojo Satoru is the strongest character he has drawn, even when compared across numerous anime.

Gojo Satoru's ultimate move, Domain Expansion, directly attacks the brain, causing brain paralysis.

However, after fighting Gildarts, he discovered that this move wasn't invincible. The higher the target's magic power, the higher their resistance.

If his Domain is broken, it triggers CT Burn Out for a short period, preventing its easy use.

If it is destroyed, the best method is to switch to another character to fight. Of course, he can also use Reverse Cursed Technique to heal from CT Burn Out.

In short, Mid-tier Gold characters have great overall strength and good abilities, sufficient to handle most situations, which is why Takeshi always likes to use Ulquiorra and Satoru.

Going further up is the High-tier.

The representatives are Whitebeard and Minato.

Whitebeard goes without saying, his strength is terrifying. In terms of sheer power, even powerful Giants are no match for Whitebeard.

Wielder of the three types of Haki, and user of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

During the Marineford Arc, Whitebeard was only alive because of life support, and he was stabbed before the battle even began. But Marineford still dared not rashly start a war with Whitebeard.

Although Whitebeard received the title of World's Strongest Man after Rocks's death, the World's Strongest Man title was genuine.

Of course, even if Whitebeard at his peak had arrived during the Summit War, he would still have to kneel, as there was Imu, the World's Strongest Woman, not far away in Mary Geoise.

Despite this, Whitebeard still displayed his formidable strength.

Then there's the Fourth Hokage, Minato.

With his Flying Thunder God Technique and calm mind, Minato was invincible throughout the Third Great Ninja War.

Minato's only drawback is his lack of large-scale destructive moves, such as Naruto's Rasenshuriken.

It's not that he couldn't develop it, but the Rasenshuriken itself is a move with severe side effects. If Naruto hadn't been the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, he would have ruined himself during the Ninjutsu development process long ago.

Of course, Minato at that level would only count as an Mid-tier Character, nowhere near High-tier.

The reason Takeshi classified him as High-tier is simple: the Minato he had gotten his hands on was in his true prime.

Above this, Takeshi classified one more tier.

Top-tier.

Those who reach this tier can no longer be called human, God is a more accurate term.

Takeshi had a few candidates in mind.

If he could get them, he would reach new heights of power.

Of course, now was not the time to think about that. He needed to see what he had drawn this time.

Takeshi looked at the system panel.

The preceding character cards were flipped over one by one. As usual, he didn't recognize any of them, so they were uniformly categorized as Experience Cards and recycled afterward.

Soon, the first gold character card was flipped open.

"It's him!"

Takeshi wasn't overly surprised or excited to see this character. After all, he had drawn quite a few gold character cards now, and unless it was an High-tier or a Top-tier Character, it wouldn't make him particularly excited.

But drawing a gold character card was a great thing for him. His magic power had already reached six and a half stars, and merely using blue or lower rank character cards was basically no longer enough to raise his magic power further.

Once he upgraded to seven stars, the difficulty would skyrocket. According to the system, going from seven stars to eight stars requires three times the experience of going from six stars to seven stars.

That is to say, going from six stars to seven stars requires approximately 10,000 Magic Power Points, and going from seven stars to eight stars requires 30,000 Magic Power Points.

Recycling one gold character card grants 3,000 Magic Power Points, meaning he needs to recycle 10 gold character cards if he wants to reach eight stars.

Ten cards.

Takeshi felt his heart tremble just hearing that number.

This character had light purple short hair, narrow eyes, and light blue pupils, maintaining a slitted-eye posture. He was tall and thin, with a gaunt face, giving an overall impression of being skeletal.

His smile was like a venomous snake. He wore black Shinigami robes, draped with a white Haori, and carried a Zanpakuto at his waist. On the back of the Haori, a large character for 'Three' was written.

This was none other than Gin Ichimaru, Captain of the Third Division of the Gotei 13 from Bleach.

In Takeshi's eyes, Gin Ichimaru was a slightly tragic man. For Rangiku's sake, he infiltrated Aizen's side when he was very young, solely to kill Aizen and avenge Rangiku.

Aizen also knew that Gin had approached him with ulterior motives, but the arrogant Aizen didn't care, finding it rather interesting. However, because of this, he nearly fell into Gin's hands.

Although Gin committed many sins in his quest to kill Aizen, after learning of his true purpose, one couldn't help but call him a true man.

Gin's strength should be counted as Mid-tier.

"Not bad."
