The Rise of the Urban God CHAPTER 217
The next morning.Ben woke up at around nine in the morning and came out to the verandah yawning. Jamie was cleaning his car, which made Ben roll his eyes. (He’s at it again. Why does he clean the car everyday?) “Dad, the car won’t become fresh just because you clean it regularly.”“But it won’t look dirty and old if we regularly clean it,” Jamie replied. “Don’t discount these habits, Son. They may seem insignificant to you, but one good habit can lead to another.”“So, you’re suggesting that cleaning your car daily will help you be better in other areas, too?” Ben faintly smiled. “Self-butterfly effect, huh. That sounds interesting. I admit.”“The rice mill worker dropped the bag outside,” Jamie said, “instead of leaving it in the house. Why don’t you take it inside?”Ben looked at the rice big. It looked big. Still, he came to the bag and tried to pick it up. He was able to lift it a bit, but to his surprise, he couldn’t do it fully. “It’s quite heavy.”“That’s 120 pounds,” Jamie sa

Minutes kept passing, but the old couple that had occupied both of the bathrooms were not coming out.Jamie and Ivy, however, refused to go anywhere. They kept their watch even though it meant that they had to put their other works aside.Mollie felt her stomach loosening, so she came to the bathroom and was shocked to see that it was closed. She looked at Jamie. “Don’t tell me, they’re still inside? It’s been almost an hour, though.”Jamie shrugged his shoulders.Mollie then knocked on the door without hesitation. “Are you done?”“Ah, just a minute,” the old man replied from the inside.Mollie patiently waited, but a minute turned into three minutes. Mollie couldn’t help but be frustrated. “How long are you going to stay in there? Come out for a couple of minutes. I need to use the bathroom.”“Just a minute,” the old man replied, making Mollie grind her teeth.Again, one minute turned into three minutes. Mollie would have probably kicked the door open if she hadn’t grown old.“Do you

Mollie was old but had seen a lot of things in life and experienced many ordeals over the years. So, she put herself close to Amelie to understand her better and also make sure that nothing could go wrong.While Amelie’s grandparents were busy talking with Ben’s parents, Mollie spent time with Amelie.“Have you dated anyone before dating my grandson?” Mollie asked her.Amelie smiled somewhat before replying. “I have.”“How are young men during the dates these days?” Mollie curiously asked.“Uh, I think they either make the first move too fast or don’t make the first move at all,” Amelie said. “I believe things were more steady and gradual back in your time?”“When I was young, the concept of dating was seen as a farce,” Mollie said. “A man and a woman holding their hand in public would be considered a big deal. But nowadays, they are kissing each other on roads and in public spaces everywhere. The sensitivities of the past are slowly but surely getting lost. How is Ben, though? Is he
The Rise of the Urban God CHAPTER 220
Amelie was roaming the house to find Ben. She couldn’t find him, so she went to the backyard where she saw Ulmer doing something strange. She went over to him only to realize that he was trying to pick up an animal. “Is that a turtle? It looks pretty young. How did it get here?”“Don’t look down on them just because it’s a baby,” Ulmer told her. “These baby turtles cross the seas and navigate through the dangerous oceans.”Amelie was surprised to hear that. “They do grow up in their parents’ care, right?”“No, most of them have to fend for themselves,” Ulmer said, speaking from his experience of traveling through the seas for more than forty years.Amelie slightly frowned. “It’s impossible for them to survive on their own. The babies don’t know anything.”“You’re underestimating them. We are all born with necessary information,” Ulmer replied. “Birds have been migrating from one continent to another for thousands of years. They travel to places they have never been to with precision b

Amelie returned to her grandparents and sat between them on the couch. Though she wanted to kiss them, she couldn’t do it because she was in Ben’s house.“Where is your fiance, Amelie?” Her grandfather, Calvin, asked. He had multiple moles on his face. “When are you going to introduce him to us?”“Ben went out to bring some food from the nearby restaurant,” Ivy said. “He will be back soon.”“My wife isn’t really feeling well,” Calvin said. “I don’t know if she can eat anything right now.”“Then I’ll make some buttermilk for her,” Ivy said and left in a hurry.“Buttermilk, huh…” Amelie’s grandmother, Fiona, smiled. “It’s been a while since I’ve tasted buttermilk. Can she add some spice to the buttermilk?”“I’ll go and tell her,” Jamie said and hurriedly left.Now, only Amelie and her grandparents were present there, so they could talk freely.Fiona was looking around. “This house isn’t big. Are you sure you can live in this house in the future?”“Grandma, Ben and I are not going to sta
The Rise of the Urban God CHAPTER 222
After talking with his grandmother, Ulmer decided to find a farmer as soon as possible. So, he was leaving the house.Though he saw Fiona and Calvin in the hall, he didn’t talk with them because neither Amelie nor Ivy introduced him.After Ulmer left, Fiona asked, “Who was that young man? Was he Ben?”“Of course, not,” Ivy quickly said. “He’s my nephew. Don’t mind him. He doesn’t have a job and doesn’t have a clue as to how to build a career. Because his family died, my husband is trying to help him and change him for good.”“Oh, that’s pretty nice of you,” Calvin said. “These days, families are easily breaking apart, so it’s quite heartwarming to see that you care about your nephew so much.”Ivy just smiled in return. (Who cares about that useless freeloader? I have to kick him out of this house as soon as possible! Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to answer every time someone asks about him. It’s already getting annoying now.)The more the Richard family are going to be present at this

The driver stopped the taxi in front of a small house in a narrow street, where two cars wouldn’t fit.“This is the house, sir,” the driver said. “You can just go and talk to the owner, but I doubt you’ll find organic watermelons now since it’s not summer.”“Ugh, I can find other fruits, right?”“Sure.”“I’m Ulmer. What’s your name?”“Roger Moonsley. It’s nice meeting you, sir.”“You, too.”“I’ll park the car at the intersection there,” Roger said. “I’ll wait there for you.”“Got it,” Ulmer then gave him a hundred dollar note before entering through the gate. The fragrance of flowers filled the air, and it eased his mood after sitting in the car for so long.He knocked on the door twice.An old man in a tank top opened the door and looked at Ulmer from top to bottom. “Who the fuck are you?” He was holding a copper bottle in his hand.“I’m Ulmer. Roger Moonsley dropped me here,” Ulmer said.”He said you grow organic fruits and veggies. Will it be possible for you to deliver fruits and v

Nelson might be old, but his slap sure was fast. It made a resounding noise and was powerful enough to leave the gang leader stunned for a second.“How dare you hit our leader!” All the underlings of the gang immediately attacked Nelson.There were more than a dozen of them, and some of those men were tall and bulky. Their arms were bigger than Nelson’s two thighs put together. And they unhesitantly smacked Nelson and tried to smash him to the ground. It was like many bulls rampaged against a senile dog without a shred of mercy.It was brutal to watch, though it happened only for a few seconds.Ulmer, having recorded it on another person’s mobile, now stepped in and began thrashing the thugs left and right. He just simply punched and kicked the gangsters, and they were crying and cringing in immense pain. None of their bones were broken, but the pain they experienced was ten times worse than when bones were broken.Within a few seconds, all the underlings were on the ground.Ulmer sto

EPILOGUE
A few months later.Ben and Amelie not only started their business together but also got married, and Ivy as usual caused a lot of noise during the marriage, asking Ross Richard to give her son this and that.Ross had to give in to her demands because of his daughter Amelie.Ivy’s brother took some gold from her and started a restaurant business because Ulmer had commanded him to stop his finance business as he was sucking people’s blood with it. His wife didn’t like it and went back to her home, but she would eventually return to his side a few years later, after her mother would die.Rick Orsini’s right-hand man, Lexor, was sitting alone on the rooftop of a big hotel, reading the online news on his tablet.“Someone called Urban God joined the Underworld Kings competition?” Lexor raised his eyebrows. “If he’s the real deal, no one will be able to stop him.”Underworld Kings was a world-wide martial arts competition where people with all kinds of superpowers competed, with loose rules

CHAPTER 479
“Your wife?!”“That girl who looks younger than Ruth is your wife?” Ivy quickly said. “Are you out of your mind, Ulmer?”“She’s 19,” Ulmer coldly glanced at her. “So, what’s the problem?”“T-That’s…” Ivy found her throat shaking. His gaze felt intimidating. “I-Isn’t there too much age gap between you two?”“What bullshit are you saying, Ivy?” Mollie snorted. “My grandson is not even thirty, and you say there’s an age gap? Can’t you see that they both look nice next to one another? Also, it’s actually nice if there's a five to six year gap between the husband and wife.”Mollie gently held Ayana’s cheeks and lifted up her head.“Where did you hide such a pretty girl all this time from us, Ulmer?” Mollie said. “You will get punished for this later.”“Ulmer always talks greatly about you, Grandmother,” Ayana said. “So, please forgive him this once.”“Hahaha,” Mollie laughed heartily. “Your wife is already defending you so much, Ulmer. She’s not just beautiful but also smart. I think it’s

CHAPTER 478
The news of so many Thorns dying did not get leaked in the underworld, much less to the common public.However, some of the topdogs in the underworld eventually heard of the heart-shaking news that more than half of the thorns died in the hands of someone called the Urban God.And the title Urban God started to be feared by those who have heard about it.Also, a new bounty appeared on the Urban God, whose name and face were kept hidden by the thorns on purpose.His current bounty was a quadrillion dollars, twice as much as the current world’s known wealth.The amount was so ridiculous and crazy that many bounty hunters thought it was just a fake bounty. A scam. A joke.But then there were those who believed that it could be real and started to investigate the name Urban God. However, most of them would give up on their search the more they learned about the recent history of the Urban God.A few weeks after Crimia was buried from the hidden face of the earth.Minerva had woken up, but

At around two in the night, the vibrations stopped, and the people finally were able to breathe freely.Many of them went back into their homes and slept. Some still stayed outside, afraid of the quake happening again.Around three in the night, Dark Monarch arrived at the Bronich city, but he was surprised to find out that the entire Crimia had been buried by mud. All the entrances were sealed off by mud.“What the hell just happened here in the time I was gone? Was he responsible for this?”Just then, he looked up into the sky.Miles high in the sky, Abbie was flying away with her mother’s body in her arms, her expression dark and desolate under moonlight.“Isn’t that…”Suddenly, immense pressure was put on his body.“Gravity Cage…” Ulmer appeared next to him.Dark Monarch’s body was crushed from every angle by pressure he had never experienced before. He screamed at the top of his lungs.“You should have never returned,” Ulmer did not spare even an inkling of mercy on him. “Gravity

“She’s going to live,” the royal healer, Irvi, an old lady with poisonous pimples all over her face, said. She was 120 years old but was still able to stand straight. However, her voice was not steady. She was observing Minerva’s pulse.Minerva was lying on the bed in the medical chambers not far from the royal palace.“However, her system has integrated with her body, so we can’t take it out,” Irvi said. “If we do it right now, she will die.”“Is it not possible to separate the system without killing her?” Ulmer asked.“It is, but that’s only possible when she overcomes the system?” Irvi responded. “The chances of that ever happening are slim.”Ulmer frowned but then said, “Do what you can to heal her.”“I will. That’s my job, after all,” Irvi said. “No matter how wicked a person may be, if they come to my doorstep, I will not turn my back toward them.”Ulmer slightly bowed his head to her and walked out onto the balcony of that building, where Minerva’s dad, Neodus was present.“I t

The vines suddenly dashed at Ulmer from behind.Ulmer didn’t even move an inch and stood unmoving.The vines rushed past him at a terrific speed and pierced Minerva’s body everywhere. She coughed out a lot of blood.“I didn’t want my blood on your hands,” she tried to smile despite the pain coursing through her body. “I’m… really sorry… for everything.”She was collapsing forward.Ulmer let go of the sword and held her shoulders, stopping her from falling to the ground.Minerva’s eyes began to turn completely dark. The vines that pierced her body began to turn direction and then pierced through Ulmer’s body from behind.Blood rushed to Ulmer’s mouth, but kept his mouth shut. Still, blood slowly leaked from a corner of his mouth.He sent a mental message to her. “It’s okay…”He wrapped his arms around her and hugged her.Minerva’s eyes shed more tears, and the blackness in her eyes began to disperse slowly but surely.In a few moments, Minerva’s eyes closed.He could still feel her spi

Minerva thought she could kidnap Ulmer’s family but now realized that she was the one who was tricked by him.He was already well prepared for her.And he wasn’t going to let her harm his family twice.However, now that Ulmer was looking up at her, both sadness and anger filled his eyes.What has become of his ex-girlfriend? Someone with whom he had gone shopping with? Someone who seemed so innocent and lovely when he first met her?Remembering the times when they both went to a jewelry shop, and she studded herself with all kinds of gold and acted like a royal made Ulmer laugh heartily back then.He thought he fell in love with the best girl there was.But look, what has become of her now?She was reduced to someone who would hypnotize a little girl in order to lure Ulmer’s relatives out of the house.Even though Ulmer was just standing, he felt his heart strings playing hard to the point they were hurting because he knew that the time was near.“U-Ulmer…” Minerva could feel his emot

CHAPTER 473
The Drunken Disaster Dionysus, the Wild King Enkidu, the Snake-haired Perseus, the Moon Goddess Artemis, the Sun God Apollo, the War Goddess Ishtar, and the one standing in front of them all and more was the mighty, monstrous King of Heroes Gilgamesh who stood nearly six meters tall.Not one of them could be called anything less than a monster.They were all absolute powerhouses, who made a name for themselves around the world in their times.Some of their powers transcended common sense and logic.“How dare a mere artificial system holder stand in our path? Know your place, vermin!” Ishtar, the war goddess, who looked extremely seductive as well as scary, squinted her eyes, releasing a powerful wave of energy that was supposed to suppress her opponent.Ulmer felt goosebumps all over. “Whooo… that tingles.” He smiled with excitement. (She saw through my system with a glance. I don’t know who she is, but she’s very dangerous. It’s not just her….) His gaze fell on others. (They are all
