Uburka

Uburka, later titled the Musclehead Who Dreams of Sinning Against Heaven, is the strongest champion produced by the goblin civilization and Kim Gong-ja's son by chosen kinship. He rises from Chairman of the Fire River Council to a self-made constellation, inherits the Infernal Heavens tradition, and becomes Warrior Commander of the Death King Family.

Biography

The strongest chairman chooses preservation

Uburka enters history as the 212th Chairman of the Fire River Council, elected because the goblin republic ranks political authority by aura mastery. He is a conqueror with an overwhelming record, but at Rimepolis he uses that supremacy to stop rather than complete an extermination. The allied races want vengeance against the snails, while the snails defend the holy city that embodies their former empire. Uburka identifies the city itself as the focus that keeps both sides trapped, blocks their armies, and threatens to defeat everyone until they agree to negotiate its destruction together. (Chapters 173–174)

Gong-ja enters Uburka's dream as Kekerkker and challenges both his policy and his martial understanding. Uburka's raw aura forms a hill-sized giant body, yet Gong-ja repeatedly cuts it apart because Uburka knows reinforcement better than the suffering-centered images of Infernal Heavens. Rather than resent the defeat, Uburka recognizes Gong-ja as father and teacher. He learns to place the memories of enslaved goblin children within aura, accepts that protecting a race requires considering what every side needs after peace, and converts coercion into a treaty that promises shelter whenever any race approaches extinction. (Chapters 174–176)

The treaty is still enforced by his fists, but it outlives his immediate rule because he makes the Fire River Council swear the obligation across generations. Uburka then becomes the first great transmitter of Gong-ja's story, promising to turn five foundational scenes into Fire Paintings and spread them among the goblins. His work makes the father's private memories into a shared martial culture and gives later descendants a way to train aura through common images. Thus his first succession is cultural rather than hereditary: he receives a doctrine, reshapes it for his people, and leaves institutions capable of surviving him. (Chapters 176, 178, 180–181, 196–197)

A mountain vigil becomes constellationhood

After more than twenty years as undefeated ruler, Uburka decides that continued government would serve neither his growth nor a society already stabilized under his arrangements. He resigns, withdraws to the most dangerous mountain on the continent, and aims to outlive the next centuries until Gong-ja returns. The goblins later record him as dead because he disappears from public life, but he is not replaced by a descendant. He remains the same Uburka, meditating for centuries and shedding a dried outer shell when a prior-life dream and enlightenment transform his body. (Chapters 181, 194–195)

The transformation lets him perceive Gong-ja's normally invisible mental form and announces him as a constellation. Their reunion immediately becomes the rematch Uburka has awaited for more than three hundred and fifty years. His quantity of aura and destructive power have risen enough to collapse mountain peaks, and he has mastered forms Gong-ja once introduced; nevertheless, Gong-ja still reads and redirects his Sword of Starvation by understanding its images more deeply. Their contest resolves into cooperation when Gong-ja uses Uburka's immense aura as paint and his own control as the brush, briefly making the burning mansion physically descend through the first Infernal Heavens Formation. (Chapters 195–197)

Uburka comes down from the mountain because Gong-ja persuades him that no one should carry the world's pain alone. He helps protect the seven races from Dream Demons, allows his own mental world to become neutral ground for negotiation, and acts as a bridge through which hunters in mental form can affect inhabitants of the stage. His first love for Anastasia ends in rejection, but the more durable consequence is familial: Gong-ja takes responsibility for the now-ageless son rather than abandoning him to another centuries-long wait, introduces him to Raviel, and brings him into the household that becomes the Death King Family. (Chapters 197–206)

Warrior Commander and trusted envoy

Within the new family, Uburka becomes Warrior Commander under Gong-ja, while Estelle serves as advisor and designated successor in an emergency. He accepts that chain of command without losing the independence that made him a chairman. When war between oni and goblins threatens mass death, he obeys an improbable order to lift a mountain peak and plant it between the armies, terrifying both sides into stopping without indiscriminate slaughter. Gong-ja then sends him alone to ask the contemporary goblins whether divine intervention is wanted, trusting him to speak as both ancestral hero and servant of a present family rather than treating descendants as pieces on a board. (Chapters 240, 243–245)

His most important diplomatic assignment comes after the Magic Tower campaign. Uburka has already defeated the force sent to invade the Lion World, but volunteers to enter the final spire and persuade its inhabitants to surrender. He breaks their defenses first because he knows the powerless will not be heard, then spends the night explaining how goblins also rose from slavery and chose a different future. The tower's leaders listen, investigate his account, and accept departure to the Lion World while preserving the dignity they refuse to surrender to their former enemies. The result proves Gong-ja's confidence that Uburka can carry shared history as an argument, not only as fuel for a fist. (Chapters 308–311)

Commander, mediator, and gardener

By the later ascent, Uburka handles work that Gong-ja cannot personally supervise. He is dispatched to negotiate with the underground civilization because goblins share its comfort with earth, remains available as one of the family's strongest combatants, and joins the selected counterattack against the Constellation Killer's slaughter puppets. He fights as part of coordinated units with Kim Yul and Sylvia rather than seeking solitary glory, showing that the champion who once solved every disagreement by challenging the room now accepts command as collective timing and protection. (Chapters 367, 375–377)

His latest duties also extend beyond war. Inside Gong-ja's sanctuary he creates a mountain range with a single strike, helps manage the Garden of Withered Flowers, and participates in the family's assemblies while Gong-ja continues upward. He remains irreverent enough to make his father handle domestic quarrels and solemn enough to care for people recovering in the garden. The latest source-grounded Uburka is therefore alive and active: an ageless constellation whose strength is no longer separated from diplomacy, family labor, or stewardship. (Chapters 380–385)

Appearance and personality

Uburka is an enormous, exceptionally muscular hobgoblin with albinism, pale skin, bright red eyes, prominent fangs, and a long scar across his face. His mature body towers over humans and most goblins; in the latest sanctuary scenes he is bald. He is loud, competitive, physically affectionate, and delighted by opponents strong enough to challenge him. His comic fixation on muscles conceals disciplined attention: he accepts defeat cleanly, learns quickly, keeps century-long promises, and can analyze the fears behind another party's demands. He respects power because power makes dialogue possible, but his development teaches him to use that advantage to preserve people and create negotiations rather than merely impose victory.

Abilities and skills

Uburka possesses extraordinary physical strength, one of the largest demonstrated aura reserves in the family, the Infernal Heavens martial lineage, and authority acquired through self-made constellationhood. His capabilities develop from personal reinforcement into shared imagery and finally into command-scale applications.

Aura body and overwhelming strength

Uburka is born with albinism that makes sunlight painful and impairs his vision. He responds by learning to coat his entire body in aura, extending the duration from one second to a full day. He repeatedly tears his muscles through training and uses aura during recovery, making reconstructed tissue progressively easier to reinforce. This produces a body that can stop a sheathed sword like metal, fine control over individual muscles, heightened hostile-intent sensing, and enough sustained protection for him to function normally despite his original sensitivity. The source presents this as his own training method rather than an inherited skill. (Chapters 174–175)

His early Giantization extends aura around his body into a hill-sized humanoid under direct control. It magnifies reach and destructive force enough to crater ground, launch house-sized fists, lift a mountain peak, and later separate sea and land or raise a mountain range with a strike. The form consumes large quantities of aura and can be dismantled faster than it regenerates by an opponent who understands the flow of its reinforcement. Gong-ja defeats the early version through superior imagery and control; centuries later, Uburka's reserve and precision are vastly greater, but his father can still redirect a familiar technique instead of contesting it head-on. (Chapters 175–176, 196, 243, 380)

Even without full Giantization, Uburka throws aura-coated spears like artillery, uses aura-amplified voice transmission across battlefields, senses distant targets, and severs a slaughter puppet's legs with one axe swing. His raw force can break magical barriers and defeat hundreds of combatants without killing them. These feats establish extreme scale, not limitless power: surprise, coordinated enemies, image-based counters, and the need to protect bystanders still shape how his strength can safely be applied. (Chapters 174, 243, 308–310, 376–377)

Infernal Heavens Demonic Art and formation

Gong-ja teaches Uburka the Infernal Heavens Demonic Art during their first duel by making him imagine the hunger, smoke, tears, and confinement experienced by goblin slaves. Uburka's first attempt divides one flame into many distinct tongues, proving he can make aura express lives other than his own. He spreads this image-based practice to the goblins, where repeated Fire Paintings create a population trained to share the same scenes. By their reunion, he can use formal techniques such as Sword of Starvation at constellation scale, although Gong-ja can counter it by reading the hard and soft branches of the underlying image. (Chapters 175–176, 180–181, 196)

The Infernal Heavens Formation is created when Gong-ja and Uburka combine identical martial foundations and a shared remembered scene. Uburka supplies the enormous aura reserve while Gong-ja directs it, allowing the burning mansion's objects, sounds, and space to descend for roughly three seconds. Its provisional skill card states that clarity and power rise with the number of participants and their proficiency in the Demonic Art. The first two-person use drains aura too quickly for sustained movement, and practitioners who merely know similar techniques without a shared mindset produce a disordered imitation. Generations of common Fire Paintings are therefore an operational requirement, not decoration. (Chapters 196–197, 289)

Self-made constellation

After withdrawing from rule, Uburka meditates on Spirit Mountain to overcome his remaining lifespan. Following sixty days of deep meditation, he experiences a detailed prior-life dream, reaches enlightenment, and emerges from his old skin in a renewed body. The Tower recognizes him as the Musclehead Who Dreams of Sinning Against Heaven. The exact metaphysical mechanism is not fully explained, so the corpus establishes the transformation and its effects without proving that the prior-life interpretation is objectively complete. (Chapters 194–196)

Constellationhood makes him ageless with respect to ordinary lifespan, lets him perceive mental bodies invisible to natives, and enables him to serve as a bridge for mental-form hunters' skills to affect physical inhabitants. His status messages convey attention and emotion, and he can enter other floors when administrative rules permit. It does not make him omnipotent: travel remains subject to the Tower's permissions, his aura techniques still have contestable structure, and his own dream can be entered or used as a meeting ground. He remains an active constellation through the latest chapters. (Chapters 195, 198–205, 350, 356–357, 375–385)

Leadership and negotiation

Uburka's leadership begins with strength-based republican authority but matures into perspective-taking. He can identify what an opposing leader actually fears, offer compensation or security suited to that fear, and bind his own faction to long-term promises. He uses intimidation to create a forum in which ignored parties must be heard, then listens and adjusts rather than treating the first proposal as sacred. This combination ends the Rimepolis war and later enables the Magic Tower's final spire to surrender without accepting ritual humiliation from former enemies. (Chapters 173–176, 308–311)

As Warrior Commander, he coordinates the Four Demon Lords and other family combatants, follows operational orders, and can divide forces into cooperating units. His representative later assignments include ending an oni-goblin battle with controlled overwhelming force, negotiating with the underground people, and fighting slaughter puppets alongside Kim Yul and Sylvia. The progression is from personal hegemony to entrusted command: by the latest chapters, Gong-ja relies on him not only to win, but to decide how victory should protect the people who must live afterward. (Chapters 240, 243–245, 310–311, 367, 376–385)

Relationships

  • Kim Gong-ja: Uburka's father, martial teacher, Family Head, and closest rival; their bond grows from challenge and instruction into shared command and mutual trust.
  • Estelle: His elder sister within the Death King Family and its designated emergency successor; together they form the strategic and military leadership beneath Gong-ja.
  • Chen Mu-mun: A rival family ally whose oni descendants Uburka confronts without slaughter and whose presence tests how overwhelming power should be restrained.
  • Anastasia: The object of Uburka's first love; her clear rejection hurts him but also teaches him that admiration does not erase another person's boundaries.
  • Raviel Ivansia: Gong-ja's spouse, who examines Uburka's claim as a son and accepts the relationship as one formed by responsibility rather than blood or equal rank.
