The Rise of the Urban God CHAPTER 72
“The capital of the city…” Ulmer was looking around while traveling on a flying lizardfish that was gelding through the sky right now. “It certainly is very beautiful, clean, and peaceful, but the hearts of the people are not as attractive. Compared to them, the people living outside are living more freely and positively.”Ulmer then told the driver to slow down.From hundreds of meters high, he looked down and observed the old lady he had given the money to. She stopped by at her son’s house and showed him the money. He took the money from her, but waved his hand away, telling her to leave. She asked him to let him into the house, but he kicked her away.Ulmer’s gut twisted upon watching that. “He looks like a wealthy person. Yet, how can he treat his own mother like that? Aren’t the laws here strict? Why isn’t he punished for not taking care of his own mother?”The driver smiled. “The laws sure are strict, but they will only apply to the poor. The rich folks always get away with wha

“I like that hat,” just then, Miranne pointed at the hat Ulmer was holding.The female worker immediately scuttled over to Ulmer and snatched the hat from his hands. “This is already sold.”“What?” Ulmer looked baffled as she went and gave the hat to Mirianne.“I’ll give this to one of the servants in my estate,” Miranne said aloud so that Ulmer would be able to hear.Did she purposely take the hat to annoy him? Ulmer wondered, but he didn’t think too much about it and looked for other things that he could buy.He picked up a diamond bracelet. “I’ll take this,” he said.“I will take that bracelet, too,” Mirianne said.Ulmer frowned. “Is there something wrong with you?”His words startled the female worker. “How dare you question a noble!” she barked at Ulmer. “Get out of the store, or I’ll call a sacker!”Ulmer tossed the diamond bracelet to the female worker. “I’ll be leaving, so have fun buying everything,” he told Mirianne.“It was your fault to begin with,” Miranne replied. “When

Ulmer was looking for a nice restaurant.Though he bought some corn, they didn’t taste as good as the ones he had eaten in Oscar’s room.He was sniffing at various restaurants, but their smells weren’t impressive. As he kept walking, his nose felt a smell that was particularly good. He traced the smell and ended up arriving at a weightlifting competition.The challenge was simple. People had to lift the thick crystal boulder placed in the center. The one who were to lift it would get to eat some of the skyfish soup.Till now, dozens of bodybuilders tried it but failed.And then a knight entered the scene. He was wearing only simple armor and shorts.“It’s Barbell Knight!”“The monstrous knight who can lift heavy weights with ease!”“His level is in the seventies, isn’t it?”“He can definitely win this.”As people expected, Barbell Knight was able to lift the boulder with great effort. The problem wasn’t just the weight of the boulder but also the fact that the surface of the crystal w

Rever’s fist flew like a missile at Ulmer’s face.Ulmer shuffled his feet and dodged the attack.Rever threw another fist almost immediately.Ulmer swiveled and appeared behind Rever. With a knife-hand, he struck the back of Rever’s neck, knocking him out cold.Rever collapsed flat on his face.The people who saw that had their eyes pop out of their sockets.“B-Barbell Knight lost in one hit?!”“Are you freaking kidding me?!”“W-Who the hell is that young man?”“I’ve never seen or heard of him before.”As the people’s attention completely shifted toward Ulmer, he was chewing on the skyfish soup. “This thing doesn’t have small bones, which makes it easy to chew. And it’s pretty good. I’m sure it’ll go well with rice. You can decipher the recipe from the taste, right?”[Of course.] Dove said.“Once we go back, I’ll make this skyfish soup and have dinner with Ayana and others,” Ulmer thought. “But for that, I need to catch some skyfish first. And then store them in the inventory.”Procur
The Rise of the Urban God CHAPTER 76
Rever hadn’t said a word to Ulmer along the way, not because he didn’t want to but because Mirianne was right with them, and he didn’t want to talk about his defeat and embarrass himself even more.An old couple appeared out of nowhere and stopped in front of their cart.The driver had to stop the cart.“Why did you stop?” Rever stepped out of the vehicle, and the old couple were quickly down on their knees and begged.“Please give us some money. We are dying from hunger, O Great Knight!” they pleaded with tears in their eyes.Rever took out a couple of gold coins and tossed them to the side. They thanked him and gave the way.“Don’t stand in my path again,” Rever warned. “Or, I’ll break your legs.”And then he returned to the cart.“Don’t waste your money, Rever,” Mirianne told them. “Those two people were probably lying to get your hard-earned money.”“I don’t know if they were lying or not, and I don’t have enough time to check, so I gave them some money,” Rever said. “Two gold isn

Edward met Ulmer and invited him straight to the dinner table.A magnificent dinner menu was prepared in less than an hour. More than a hundred items were served.“Did you prepare all these for me?” Ulmer asked.“This isn't much, Mr. Ulmer,” Edward smiled. He was a handsome blonde and looked young despite his age being in fifties. “When I heard that Rever was beaten, I didn’t believe it, but then I was told that you also rejected Dracarius’ request to join him. I know that Dracarius isn’t the type to just let go of anyone he could oppress. Since he has not done anything to you yet, even after you’ve given him a cold shoulder, I believe that you are strong. Probably in level eighties, I presume?”“I will not disclose my level,” Ulmer said. “I prefer to keep it a secret.”“That’s fine. We can already guess your level, but would you mind if we made you start with my personal knight Zebron? He’s at level 90.”Normally, Ulmer would have refused, but he was yet to fight someone at such a hi

“Minerva Brianne Craig…” Mirianne was talking with Ulmer while they sat on the balcony. “That’s her full name, but these days everyone knows her as Brianna.”“Were you both friends in the past?” Ulmer asked.“Not really. We just played together for a few days in the royal castle,” Mirianne said. “That’s all. I haven’t met her personally after that. She wasn’t even in the picture of the race to the throne, so it’s very surprising that someone like Dracarius wants to support her now. Just what did he see in her for him to change his mind and be her aide? It is very baffling.”“We can’t read people’s hearts, so we can only judge them by their actions,” Ulmer said.“That’s right.” She smiled. “By the way, don’t think wrongly of me for asking this, but… do you still have those energy crystals?”Ulmer nodded a little.“Can you sell them to us?” she said. “We’ll pay a fair price, of course.”Ulmer appreciated that she was straightforward instead of doing unnecessary things. “I’ve eaten your

That afternoon, Zebron didn’t arrive at the estate yet, so the duel was postponed to the next day.This gave Ulmer free time to roam around the city.However, Rever was sent with him as an escort.“Why are we walking on foot?” Rever asked.“Do you want to walk on your hands instead?” Ulmer asked him back.“That’s not what I meant, Mr. Ulmer,” Rever said. “You know what I meant.”“I want to view this city,” Ulmer replied. “It’s aesthetically very pleasing.”To Rever, it looked normal because he was born here.Both Ulmer and Rever were wearing normal clothes because Ulmer didn’t want Rever to wear his knight gear as he’d stand out too much.Ulmer wanted to roam peacefully, so both of them were wearing goggles right now. Rever even had a hat on, saying he doesn’t like dirt getting into his hair.Ulmer first stopped at a toy store and bought spinning tops and walking robots and so on.“Who are you buying these toys for?” Rever asked him.“My sister,” Ulmer said.“Oh…” Rever didn’t have si

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 rule

“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
