The Rise of the Urban God CHAPTER 373
In the heart of Bronich city, under the flickering neon lights and swirling shadows, whispered rumors spoke of a treacherous underground criminal hideout Crimia also known as The Little Abyss.There were people who had heard and even seen criminals come and go from mysterious places, and the fossils of strange creatures were also found here every now and then, but what was the point of the eyes when the mind wasn’t confident to back the two windows to one’s soul?The eyes are pretty much useless when one’s mind is blind.Nevertheless, though most people in the city and the world were oblivious to the existence of something like Crimia, a fortress of vice, deception, and decay, where the world’s most dangerous outlaws plotted their schemes at many levels.Crimia had a total of 100 levels, each level more menacing than the last. A journey, even for a fellow criminal in this place would be fraught with danger.Many had tried to infiltrate this savage lair, but none had managed to conquer
The Rise of the Urban God CHAPTER 374
After teleporting to the other side of the entrance door, Ulmer saw a group of four guys playing poker in the distance.They looked bored.Ulmer walked toward them, his footsteps loud enough to be heard.The four men looked at him and were startled and confused at the same time. Who was he? Where did he come from? How did he even get here when the door was closed?“I heard this was an old entrance, not used by people anymore,” Ulmer uttered, “so how come there’s protection even in this place? It seems the security of this underground criminal city is tighter than I thought. I was not expecting criminals to be doing their guarding duties so diligently.”“Identify yourself!” The four men grabbed their guns and pointed at Ulmer. “Who are you? State your name!”“Easy, guys. Maybe, I’m here to register in the city?” Ulmer said. “I heard that there’s a process where we can join this city and become part of it?”“Only criminals who shed human blood can become a member of this city,” one of t
The Rise of the Urban God CHAPTER 375
The priest was wearing a black cloak, with a tiny black cap on top of his head. He also had an earring with the number 3.Ulmer was wondering if the priest would recognize him, but he didn’t.The priest smiled very much as he offered a handshake. “It’s becoming a trend these days for the rich to wish to become super-rich. In that pursuit, so many are visiting our church.”“That’s not a good thing,” Ulmer replied.“What?” the priest’s expression changed.“I mean, it would make you a whole lot busier,” Ulmer explained himself.“Haha, it’s fine. Every hour spent for the dragon is worth it. All those hours will be paid back in gold one day,” the priest said. “So, why don’t you introduce yourself to me?”“My name is Ulmer. I don’t have any job, but I want to explore Crimia. That’s why I came here,” Ulmer replied. He wasn’t exactly lying as he excluded some of the key details.“Entry-level registered members start from level zero,” the priest said. “You’re on level zero now. But once you pr

“Take the knife and cut its throat,” the priest said once more. “It’s the easiest thing there is. Once you taste its blood, you will want to do it again and again.”Ulmer’s expression turned cold. “You want me to kill that little lamb? Do I look that easy?”“Mm?” the priest looked at Ulmer with a bit of astonishment. (Is he suggesting that this is too easy of a task for him? There were those who show up every now and then. They are so wicked that they hate doing simple tasks like killing an animal. Is he one of those super psychotic people?) “Can you clarify yourself?”“What’s there to clarify?” Ulmer replied.”If you want me to explain myself, take me to the Council of Nine. I will give them all the explanations they need.”The priest’s eyes widened some more. (He’s asking me to take him to the council? Does that mean he knows about the main sacrifice he needs to do to prove his loyalty to them? I was underestimating him since he only showed some gold coins, but it seems this young ma
The Rise of the Urban God CHAPTER 377
The thug with the big arms didn’t know what he was getting into. He attacked Ulmer with his bare hands, trusting his brute strength.His fist connected Ulmer’s face, and the others started to snicker, including the women dancing on the poles.However, it was the man with the big arms that started cringing in pain. “Argh! My wrist…”“EH?” the others were all shocked by his reaction. “Jordan got injured from punching him in the face?”“He’s gotta be acting, right?”“How could he get injured from hitting someone’s face?!”Ulmer cast a glance at the big-armed man and grabbed his face and lifted him up casually.The eyes of everyone there enlarged because the big-armed man should weigh around 130 kilograms. What Ulmer was doing was only possible for someone with superhuman strength.As the big-armed man started crying in pain, Ulmer coldly asked, “What happened to the confidence from before?”“Let go of our brother!” A few more men charged Ulmer.He threw the big-armed man onto them, makin
The Rise of the Urban God CHAPTER 378
The Nine Veils were the rulers of the first nine levels of Crimia.They were all individually known as strong masters of martial arts and were famous for their superstrength with which they could keep order on their respective floors.In the past couple of years, the Nine Veils didn’t change, as they were strong enough to maintain their ranks.The main purpose of the Nine Veils was to rule and to maintain order on their floors. This was why the Nine Veils never fought against each other.What most people didn’t know was that the real purpose of the Nine Veils was to fight off any big threat that would infiltrate Crimia.When the Nine Veils come together, they could create a combined martial art that could rival some of the top experts in the martial world. This wasn’t the first time when they had to come together to kill someone in the past two years.And the moment they realized that Ulmer was not someone they could just randomly attack and use the advantage of numbers, all of the Ni
The Rise of the Urban God CHAPTER 379
After taking care of the Nine Veils, Ulmer made their corpses show up on their respective levels.The dead bodies of the Nine Veils shook all the criminals at first, but before they even figured out who killed them, there were many who were trying to become one of the Nine Veils themselves.The priest who had met Ulmer, however, was hiding in a room, shivering in his boots. “Help me, Satan. Save me from this monster of a man,” he prayed to the god he believed in, not even daring to even talk to anybody else at this moment. “If he can kill the nine veils all at once, then he’s someone nobody on the first thirty floors can handle. Only the ones in the deeper levels can handle such a monster.”Even at this point, the priest was unaware that Ulmer was the man with a trillion dollar bounty as the Nine Veils hadn’t told him.Meanwhile, Ulmer was roaming through one floor after another, saving every slave he came across.Even the ones in the cells and in shackles just vanished from sight. No
The Rise of the Urban God CHAPTER 380
“Didn’t you hear the news? The ruler of our floor has died!” one of the criminals named Jason was shouting in the streets, gathering the attention of many. “The time has come when people are going to fight for the throne of the veil. The martial arts are going to come in handy more so than ever right now. Those who are interested can learn sword skills from me. Simple moves cost ten gold. Complex moves cost a hundred to a thousand gold!”“Isn’t a thousand gold too much?” someone from the crowd asked. “All you’re going to teach is a few tricks and tips anyway, so why charge so much money?”“Hahah,” Jason laughed out loud. “We live in a world of good and evil, Brother. The minute someone discovers how to help mankind, they never tell you hundred percent how it is done because of money. But I’m still willing to teach you everything if you give me as much as I asked for. So you should be happy instead.”Ulmer was also among the crowd. (His words contradict himself. He’s not going to teac

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

“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
CHAPTER 477
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
CHAPTER 476
“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
CHAPTER 475
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
CHAPTER 474
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
