The Rise of the Urban God CHAPTER 429
Minerva was in her villa. Michael was still keeping an eye on her room.“As long as this bastard is watching, it’s hard to leave,” Minerva said.“Do you want me to keep him busy?” Nirvan, who was Dracarius’ main knight, said. Dracarius was the one who left him with Minerva so he could be of use to her after her personal knight died.Just then, she received a letter from the maid. It was a message from Dracarius.“The forces are withdrawing from the Bright Moon village?” Minerva was shocked. “Why? Were they not able to break through the barrier or whatever was stopping them? What kind of pathetic excuse are they going to give?”“Even your father and aunt have gone there, so I’m sure the situation there is not as easy as we might think,” Nirvan opined.“Tsk,” Minerva annoyedly bit her lip. (I never expected that bastard would become a thorn in my foot and hinder me from reaching my goals!) “If they are coming back, then I want to secretly meet Dracarius and a few other important nobles.
The Rise of the Urban God CHAPTER 430
Dracarius met Edward Foster who was being interrogated in prison. Because Edward was a high-level noble, no physical force was used on him yet. Unless the emperor gives them special permission, the officers were not allowed to hurt him physically.“Why don’t you come to my side, Edward?” Dracarius said. “If we had grown up together, we would have become best friends, but I’m sure it’s not too late to become friends. Let’s rule this empire together with Princess Minerva.”Edward didn’t say anything.“If you come to my side, Zeborn will also come to my side. We’ll have such power that nobody in Syslon for the next three generations will question us. Don’t you want your daughter to thrive? We can’t get our children married, but she doesn’t have to sleep with my son unless she’s okay with it. Let’s put up a big show for the world.”Edward still remained silent.“You do know that it’s not hard for me to catch your wife and daughter if I try, right?” Dracarius added, lighting up a cigar.“H
The Rise of the Urban God CHAPTER 431
In the emperor’s palace, sitting alone in the main hall, Dylan was staring into the distance.He was thinking of a five-year-old girl with curls like golden sunshine and an imagination that soared higher than the birds.This little girl, being his granddaughter, spent more time with him than her parents.She made his days bright and frolicsome, the kind that coaxed the flowers to bloom and birds to serenade.They would go on little adventures everyday.As she spun in circles, asking nature to spin with her, Dylan would spin for her, both of their arms outstretched.After she was breathless, she’d fall back on the grass and stare at the sky and show him all the things she would see in the clouds. “Look there. A dragon is going after a fluffy sheep. Do you think the sheep will escape? Look over there. A ship is passing by. Is that a horse or a unicorn?”She would say both smart and innocently foolish things.Her sweet little voice was absolute enchantment, and Dylan’s heart would often
The Rise of the Urban God CHAPTER 432
Two days later.The people in parts of the empire were growing nervous because nothing was done to capture the criminal known as Beast Hunter. Some people conducted riots, and some peacefully protested. Some questioned the emperor and the royals.Normally, this would have never happened, but now, the nobles themselves were behind these people, so that the emperor would feel the heat.Dylan arranged a meeting with the important nobles and the Ten Lions. Strange enough, other than Oscar, nobody else that would support him came to the meeting. It’s as though his opponents threatened those people. Oscar was the only person they probably couldn’t threaten.Dylan didn’t have the time to think about all these things right now.“Your Majesty,” a noble named Brook stood up and said, “the people are angry that the criminal hasn’t been dealt with. If you can fight him and capture him, then we can publicly humiliate him and restore the faith in people’s hearts.”Dracarius was smiling hiddenly. If
The Rise of the Urban God CHAPTER 433
The capital city was surprisingly silent that whole day, as the nobles and the royals discussed how they should proceed with what the emperor had done.Before evening, they came to a decision, and then spread the news throughout the empire.Everybody was supremely shocked to hear the news that the emperor had tried to molest his own granddaughter, the princess of the empire.And that his punishment was ‘death by guillotine.’The news was a great shock to all those who had been blindly supporting the emperor, and they all felt like they lost their power and purpose.“Hahaha, so it was all an act?” Dracarius was laughing in his estate while eating lunch with Minerva. “I thought so, but even after I knew that you’d do something to flip the script, I still fell for your act. If even I, who knows what’s exactly going on, couldn’t see through your act, then I’m sure no one else will believe it even after hearing the truth. You really pulled off something ridiculous. Now, the empire will be
The Rise of the Urban God CHAPTER 434
“The emperor was what?” Rever was absolutely shocked when he heard the news from Ulmer’s mouth. “That’s impossible. How can he… molest his own granddaughter? That makes no sense.”“Why doesn’t it make sense?” Mirianne snorted. “Maybe he’s drunk or something and then ended up harassing her?”“How can you say that, Young Lady? Don’t you know how great the emperor is?!”“He was great. But for many years, he’s been doing nothing,” Mirianne said. “I don’t know him personally, so I can’t be sure that he did or didn’t do it. Either way, don’t you think it’s time that someone young sits on the throne?”“Yeah, what if that new person is Lord Neodus or Dracarius?” Rever said.Mirianne frowned. “This is the perfect time for my dad to try his luck and become the emperor, but he’s behind the bars!” She looked at Ulmer who was talking with Ayana in the distance. “He said we still have to wait if we want to save my dad. I can’t tell if he’s being serious or not.”“Do you want to leave this place and
The Rise of the Urban God CHAPTER 435
Ulmer brought a full case of wine bottles to the house because Rever and Mirianne wanted it. They asked him to join, but Ulmer politely refused them because his wife Ayana and her family members didn’t drink alcohol. He believed that it would be offensive to them, so he chose not to drink it.He was never a good drinker, so it wasn’t hard for him to abstain himself from drinking. Perhaps, it would have been a little more difficult for him to abstain from soft drinks.Ayana, once more, prepared the best lunch she could for him with the vegetables she got. Ulmer happily ate lunch with her.Suki, on the other hand, brought a glass of water and gave it to Kale, saying it’s wine. He refused to drink it. Seeing them both, their parents laughed merrily.Just as Ulmer finished eating, he felt two presences outside the barrier. “It seems we’ve got new guests.”“Just send them away like you sent the knights before,” Ayana said, wrapping her arm around Ulmer’s arm in a protective manner. She did

Ulmer raised his hand and deflected the sound attack right back at them, with increased intensity.They were able to withstand it, partly also thanks to their armor.“Melody Twins…” Ulmer said, “I only want your armor. Give them to me, and go.”“You think we’ll listen to a criminal?” They were preparing for another combined attack, but this time, their attack was so condensed, it was visible to the naked eye.“Who declared me a criminal? The emperor sure didn’t, did he?” Ulmer asked them back.“Shut up. A thief like who stole our national treasures still dares to talk shit,” they released their ultimate combo attack without hesitation. “Ultrasonic Beam!” It was an attack so powerful that it required most of their stamina to pull off. But they wanted to take Ulmer by surprise since they learned that he had a teleporting ability. That’s why they went all out in the beginning itself, hoping they’d get the criminal with this one move. If they did, it’d be their win. It’d bring them the gr

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
