Right at the moment Teach was rescued by the mysterious person, the Golden List in the sky suddenly emitted extremely brilliant light.
This light almost illuminated every corner of the world. Everyone unconsciously covered their eyes with their hands, slightly squinting at the sky.
"Is that mysterious Golden List undergoing changes again?"
"Damn, the world is already chaotic enough, what kind of creature is this mysterious golden list actually..."
"I wonder if that mysterious first place on the Golden List can match this Golden List existence? Because even this Golden List cannot obtain specific information about that mysterious first place!"
At this moment, experts from all over the world flew out, looking at the Golden List in the sky that was changing again.
Before long, a series of writing appeared on the Golden List. Everyone could see it clearly.
[Starting today, the ranking list will be updated in real-time. Lower rankings who defeat or kill higher rankings can replace their position and receive corresponding rewards. If the original ranking is not killed, they will move to the next rank.]
[Additionally, those not listed but who can defeat or kill a Golden List expert can also be included in the Golden List, methods unlimited.]
Current list ranking changes were announced.

*SWISH!* *SWISH!* *SWISH!*
At the same time, a beam of golden light fell from the Golden List, heading south.
"Hm?"
At this moment, Saitama, who had just walked under the Hero Association headquarters building side by side with Genos, looked up at the sky.
A beam of golden light directly fell upon him.
Instantly, terrifying pressure spread in all directions.
Genos was shocked, quickly retreated, and prepared to fight in the air. All his weapons were ready, and his pair of electronic eyes scanned wildly, but couldn't obtain the specific situation inside at all.
Dazzling golden light exploded, almost blinding people's eyes.
"What happened?"
"Is a monster attacking?"
"How dare he make chaos right at the Association headquarters, quickly report!"
Surrounding staff and some heroes gathered around the building were shocked, and immediately reacted.
Several seconds later, the golden light gradually dimmed, revealing the situation inside.
Only then did people see the scene inside. Everyone's eyes widened, showing expressions of extraordinary admiration.
Visible was Saitama wearing golden battle armor. It wasn't cheap pure yellow gold, but gold slightly reddish. Not only didn't it look tacky, but rather increasingly luxurious and imposing, giving indescribable pressure.
Behind him, the very tacky red cape disappeared, replaced by a pair of very beautiful golden wings that slowly spread and flapped, making Saitama float about one meter above the ground.
"Sensei... this..."
Genos unconsciously swallowed, slowly flew forward, his eyes full of envy: "Your outfit is really cool!"
Saitama was also very shocked. Then he knocked the golden battle armor helmet on his head with his finger, and touched the golden wings, muttering: "Isn't this too conspicuous... Very awkward. I'm not such a high-profile person!"
Genos was slightly silent, glancing around.
Visible were all people currently frozen in place, staring at Saitama with wide eyes.
"Damn, is this the stupid baldy from before?"
"As expected, strong people will look cooler with good clothes. This person looked stupid before, but after wearing this outfit, he looks extraordinary!"
"By the way, is this person doing a transformation ritual? I'm afraid it's a monster invasion!"
"So cool, right? Later I also want to cosplay the same outfit!"
Everyone discussed, pointing at Saitama.
Saitama flapped his wings and landed. Then, with a thought, the entire battle robe suddenly shrank into his body and disappeared, and he returned to wearing his tacky superman outfit.
Genos was slightly envious, and slightly regretful: "Sensei, I think you looked very good wearing it!"
Saitama shook his head: "I'm still not used to it. I'm a low-profile person and don't want too many people paying attention to me. Besides, that outfit looked very chūnibyōu."
"Everyone shut up. That outfit isn't as chūnibyōu as what you're wearing!"
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
On the Moby Dick, Kaiser, who was drinking tea, silently looked up at the Golden List in the sky, the corner of his mouth slightly curved.
'You dare use this method to find me, huh. Now I've become the target of the entire world, truly troublesome. Rank competition without method limits... Do you want to make the entire Three Realms go crazy?'
And Kuro, who was sleeping soundly on his shoulder, opened one eye. In his pitch-black pupils seemed to be a blood vortex rotating. His tail twitched slowly, and even made air explosion sounds. As if saying whoever comes will be killed!
"Just watch!" Kaiser smiled, stroking Kuro's head, and said with interest: "I still like watching drama..."
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
Meanwhile, experts throughout the world were boiling.
Inside the live broadcast space:
[Senju Hashirama: "Golden List rankings can be changed? And can get rewards again!!! Good news, who was in front of me earlier?"]
[Uchiha Madara: "In front of you is that mysterious First Rank Golden List. Quickly, quickly. I heard you've been resurrected. If you don't mind dying once more, I support you!"]
[Senju Hashirama (expressionless face): "Madara, I remember you're in front of me. Where are you now? I'll come find you!"]
[Uchiha Madara: "I'm in hell."]
[Senju Hashirama: "..."]
[Shirohige: "This rank replacement can get more rewards, there's a lot of room to maneuver. These Golden List rewards are good stuff!"]
[Sengoku: "High rankings certainly have high reasons. How can you easily knock them down, Shirohige? Use your brain a little!"]
[Shirohige: "My old strength has recovered to its peak, Sengoku. Long time no see, it seems you're arrogant! What are you proud of with a rank behind mine? I'll soon attack Marine Headquarters. At that time, you, Fleet Admiral, will be no more. Are you interested in becoming my son?"]
[Sengoku (greatly angered): "Your mother!"]
[Enel: "So there can still be re-ranking, and more rewards! Truly makes blood boil. Thor's Hammer at least doubled my strength. It seems it's time to descend and see, let the world see what the Thunder God is like!"]
[Akainu: "I knew those above weren't good people. There's another shameless person coming out to make chaos!"]
[Shanks: "What kind of creature is that mysterious First Rank? Third Rank Saitama alone could get rewards just for obtaining a bit of information!"]
[Doflamingo: "Fufufu, this is a good method. As long as you can get information about that mysterious First Rank, you can get Golden List rewards. This truly makes people itch..."]
[Tsuru (glancing): "I'm just afraid you'll go without returning. That Kizaru only looked once, and the other party didn't even move. Only that Second Rank's pet moved and made him lose an arm. What makes you confident?"]
[Doflamingo: "Fufufu... I'm just saying. Of course I don't dare mess with such existence. What I want to suggest is the bastards at lower ranks. The Golden List said rank competition isn't limited by methods. There must be many people targeting them... You understand what I mean?"]
The live broadcast space was silent for a moment.
This Golden List statement was truly very evil, as if wanting to completely muddy the waters.
The number of top experts in the Three Realms wasn't few, but Golden List rankings were only that many. There were many ambitious people. Who didn't covet those mysterious Golden List rewards? Once obtained, their strength would greatly increase.
And the Golden List said methods were unlimited, meaning assassination, poisoning, and various other methods could be used. Even sneak attacks when both sides were fighting might not be prohibited. In this case, everyone became worried.
After all, the Three Realms had just formed, and information among them was still limited and not fully understood. High rankings might not be able to defend against various endless methods. Hard to avoid failure due to carelessness.
[...]
For a while, the Golden List changes shook the world's experts. One by one, they had different thoughts.
And others not on the list were also very eager to try. If they could defeat or kill experts on the list, they too could be listed and get Golden List rewards.
The storm intensified again!
