The Rise of the Urban God CHAPTER 453
Ulmer could audibly feel pain in the girl’s voice. She seemed eighteen at best, and she was still crying and wiping her tears.Ulmer pitied her, but he pitied the guy who gave up on such a loving soul.“Why did he marry someone else when he said he’d marry you?” Ulmer patiently asked.“My family is poor,” the girl replied. “His parents convinced him to marry someone from a rich background.”“If he left you for someone else, then it means he was never meant to be yours to begin with,” Ulmer said.The girl was still crying.“You clearly love him. You’re clearly hurt that he left you. How many years have you two known each other?”“For three years,” she said.“You felt like dying for a man whom you knew for three years,” Ulmer said. “He isn’t even dead. He just married someone else. On the other hand, your parents have raised you since birth. How would they feel if you were to die? Have you ever thought about that?”The girl pursed her lips together and looked at her parents emotionally.
The Rise of the Urban God CHAPTER 454
In Bright Moon village.Edward Foster brought Ayana and others to their home. Ayana was very nervous, until she saw Ulmer waiting for her there.She ran over to him emotionally but stopped just before him. Seeing the wedding ring on his fingers, she immediately hugged him.They didn’t exchange any words, but the hug comforted both of them.Suki also ran and hugged them both. Kale was just slightly smiling from a distance.Dustin and Robin shed happy tears.Rever leaned into Mirianne and whispered, “When will you hug me like that?”She stomped him on the foot and shut him up.Ulmer’s clone came to talk with Edward and give them first-hand information about what happened.Edward, Mirianne, and Rever were all shocked to hear about Michael’s arrival to the gallows and trying to kill him.“So, you’re the emperor,” Edward was still finding it rather hard to believe. “What about Dracarius? Please tell me that you broke his limbs?”“I had him imprisoned,” Ulmer replied.“That’s not enough,” E
The Rise of the Urban God CHAPTER 455
The next morning.A pall of sorrow hung over the city.The funeral ceremony of Emperor Dylan took place, and people of all ages, especially the older generation, thronged to the capital.Normally, not just anybody would be allowed to enter the capital, but today, there were no restrictions. Everybody was allowed.Drawing from every corner of Syslon, the people began to gather and pour into the vast courtyard, their voices rising into a chorus of shared grief and gratitude.The air was thick with a bittersweet tension, and every cobblestone street thrummed with the sound of footsteps and soft murmurs that discussed the past, present, and future. Brave warriors, knights, nobles, scholars, officials, artisans, mothers cradling infants, and especially the elderly, cloaked in fabric that whispered tales of yore, all made their way to the royal palace.Not far from the royal palace, the emperor’s body was displayed publicly. In the vicinity, the gleaming spires of golden stone reflected the
The Rise of the Urban God CHAPTER 456
Amidst the golden hues of sunlight streaming through the grand archways of the imperial palace, a momentous day unfolded.Ulmer, a jobless guy who was cheated by his girlfriend, now stood at the pinnacle of power, his ascension marked by years of hard-fought battles.As the morning dawned, the air was thick with excitement and expectation. Extravagant banners adorned with the imperial crest flanked every corridor, fluttering gently in the soft breeze. The citizens of the realm had turned out in droves, their faces alight with hope and joy, for today was not merely a coronation; it was the dawn of a new era.Ulmer wanted his crowning ceremony to be simple, but Neodus refused the crowning ceremony to be anything less than grand.After his father’s death, Neodus seemed to have turned over a new leaf and has become more of a patient and understanding man, but also more stubborn at the same time.Flowers, brought from every corner of the vast empire, carpeted the path leading to the throne
The Rise of the Urban God CHAPTER 457
In the days following Ulmer’s crowning as the emperor, he brought new rules to the empire and also loosened some of the old rules.The commoners were also allowed to own pets now.No entry fees were taken by the towns or the capital or any special zones, except for the rolling hills of Endera, known for its beautiful lavender flowers, where the mother and daughter of Dylan was also buried.Endera was like an open zoo, where exotic animals lived in harmony. There were labrador ducks, mammoths, giant sloths, giant bisons, and ancient horses. In the midst of it all was where some of the royals rested eternally.Thieves and bribers were supposed to be killed in the past, but now, they were punished by being enlisted into the Swifters organization.Swifters were those who were tasked with exploring the dangerous lands in Syslon and the outside seas where monsters with crystals lived. They would bring the bodies of these beasts and their crystal cores, which would help the empire in many wa
The Rise of the Urban God CHAPTER 458
Syslon had seven supreme staffs: Staff of Chaos, Staff of Illumination, Staff of Judgment, Staff of Genesis, Staff of Destruction, Staff of Dominance, and Staff of Concord.Ulmer gave Regina a mimicking version of Staff of Chaos, by using the storm stone. She was able to bring sixty to seventy percent of its power, which somewhat satisfied her.Ulmer gave Neodus the Staff of Illumination in the same way.Ulmer also gave Vincent the Staff of Judgment, which his grandfather used to own, and it made Vincent emotional.Ulmer gave Ayana the Staff of Concord, which was capable of taming brutes and mighty beasts and more.Last but not least, Ulmer took the gravity system from Nirvan. Dracarius had given it to him after Alveron died. Nirvan was now spending time in jail just like his lord Dracarius.[They call it the gravity system, but its real name is Egregious System.] Dove told Ulmer. [It’s either shockingly good or shockingly bad depending on how one used it.]“I have someone in mind,” U
The Rise of the Urban God CHAPTER 459
A black limousine stopped at a government hospital.Out of the car, a man in a black suit and a pretty blonde in blue glasses stepped out. He was the leader of the Three Skulls organization, and she was his assistant.But the citizens commonly knew him as Jack Dunce, a multi-millionaire who was known for his blood donation camps. He was known for giving blood packets freely to many hospitals across the city, so his name was quite popular.He entered the hospital and acted as a chief guest for an event before going to the basement in the hospital.From there, he and his assistant entered an elevator which took them thousands of feet into the ground.Eventually, the door opened, and they stepped onto the eleventh level of Crimia.A male vampire who was waiting greeted him.“Is it true that he’s been caught?” Jack asked.The vampire nodded. “The queen is also waiting for you.”Jack smiled. “Great,” he cracked his knuckles. “That bastard killed my platinum skullers and nearly crippled my
The Rise of the Urban God CHAPTER 460
Ulmer was still in Syslon.Like a hunter, he laid traps for Minerva in many places.He knew how the harem system operated. It made someone stronger by sacrificing the blood and sacral energy to the demons.Does that mean Brianna is possessed by demons now? Yes, but they entered her body out of her own volition.Ulmer created many clones which turned into handsome young men of different faces. He made these men roam the empire in great many places, hoping Minerva would come after them.However, by far, nothing happened.“Claudia’s servant must be getting closer to my family,” Ulmer thought to himself. “I don’t have much time. I wish I could catch her, but she’s been extremely careful. I wonder when exactly she is planning to leave. How does she plan to know that I’m gone from here? Did she leave some of her mind-controlled slaves somewhere in the capital? If so, how do I find them? Even if I do find them, I doubt they’ll know where she is. But it will help buy some more time for me.”U

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

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
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
