God of Destruction (GoD)
Known as 'God of Destruction' (or 'GoD'). In Season 2, GoD 1~7 and ∞ were introduced. In Arabic language settings, 'God' is replaced by 'Lord' due to cultural naming conventions.
God of Destruction Unique System: Dragon Jewels Illumination
Starting from the highest rank God of Destruction (GoD), a Dragon Jewel (Orb) is illuminated around the emblem perimeter with each promotion in the order of Green → Yellow → Orange → Red → Purple → Blue → Light Grey. In the Japanese version, anti-forgery numerals (壱~漆) are inscribed on each stage, and after collecting all seven dragon jewels, the final promotion ascends to GoD 8 (Ouroboros ∞) instead of a numeral.
