Ultra: Dark Shadow Mage, Founding a Magic Empire

Chapter 119: Taro's "safe" return, Ace and Tregear's meeting (4k)

"Leo and Astra have withdrawn first. Should we continue with the plan?"

Chuck looked at Max.

They were still hiding in the dark, with Max's help, and the magic circle set up by Ace, which was given by Norman, so as long as they didn't move, they would not be discovered by the King of Ultra.

"The plan must continue. Prince Ace injected some of the Dark One's genes into Taro, planting the seeds of tyranny and fear in him."

"But we want to corrupt him completely and make him the 'Third Darkness' in our plan to help us contain the Kingdom of Light."

Max raised his hand, and the Max Galaxy on his wrist shone brightly.

As he made his move, the power of darkness was attracted again, but this time the attraction was not to attack, but to "eliminate" the darkness on Taro!

Earth.

Higashi Kotaro, who was working, suddenly saw a dazzling light.

When this strong light came on, he felt his body lighten, as if something was being pulled away and suppressed.

They became more and more disgusted and hateful towards those who secretly plotted against Taro, and they also hated Belia who saved people, and Leo and Astra who were discovered by them.

"Great, Taro, you finally woke up."

"Come on, take a step forward! Hold my hand and embrace everything!"

Even the King of Ultra felt a little tired at this moment.

"What do you want?" Tregear asked with narrowed eyes.

The moment he saw the darkness, Taro felt as if his soul was being sucked into it. He felt himself spinning and falling until he fell into the endless darkness!

"As long as it's okay, it'll be okay."

"Directly trigger a secondary personality to replace the power of darkness and corrupt him all the time? It is indeed a somewhat insidious method... No wonder Prince Ace himself said that he didn't want to do this anymore, it is indeed a bit sinister." Chak sighed.

"This process is slow and covert, and generally goes unnoticed. By the time the people of the Kingdom of Light notice it, our plan will have been basically completed."

Max said goodbye to his brothers and sisters and began his own experience.

Taro repeated in a daze, "Ultra King... Yes, Ultra King can help me... Ultra King..."

"Tairo, wake up Taro! Don't indulge in darkness, you can resist it! Open your eyes, I am the King of Ultra."

Tregear took it and drank it all in one gulp.

And in the depths of the endless darkness, Taro saw the deepest, most obscure thoughts in his heart that he had long abandoned...

"Taylor..."

"Actually, Taro has a pretty good personality." Beth said with some regret, "He's also a strong and handsome guy, but it's a pity that he's on the opposite side of us, so we have to use some means against him."

They called him "the great hero" and called him "the blazing sun" and "the rising sun"!
This kind of wine is extremely precious and is circulated among the residents of the Kingdom of Light. Although it is expensive, its sales have always been good.

Because this proves that Torrekia is not a loser who gets drunk when he encounters setbacks!
"Don't worry, my friend."

Soon Taro found his two brothers.

Everyone was cheering and shouting his name, Taro.

Taro nodded, then broke away from the Ultra Medal, gave the coordinates to Ultra King and went to find the First Generation and Jack.

Taylor was so absorbed in it that he didn't react until he heard another sunny and gentle voice again.

"Then we will go back and report."

"I'm fine, it was the King of Ultra who saved me!"

Taro repeated it over and over again, and finally, his consciousness returned.

Because he had to force the connection without hurting Taro himself, the King of Ultra consumed a large amount of energy. The power consumed was far more than the power lost in the battle with Belia just now!

"Why would you refuse? Isn't this what you've always wanted? To be noticed by everyone, to be looked at, admired, and respected by everyone!"

The corners of its mouth cracked and turned upward, as if it was torn apart in an instant, revealing the darkness under its mouth that seemed to be able to swallow everything.

"And...hiccups! There are actually...someone who would buy me a drink...who are you...hiccups?"

"What's wrong, Dongguang?" Seeing Dongguang Taro in a daze, the worker stretched out his hand and waved it in front of him.

When the waiter in Baltan Trading Company came forward with the new brew, Ace's transformed Ultraman appeared in the hall. After paying the bill, he walked towards Tregear with two glasses of wine.

Taro opened his eyes blankly. "Dark Taro" was gone, and the seemingly endless abyss also disappeared. He was still standing in the spiritual space, as if everything that had just happened had never existed.

The moment Taro responded, he suddenly felt the light around him dim, and then a "person" who looked exactly like him appeared in front of him.

"I, what am I doing?"

The moment Torrekia saw the card, hope shone in his eyes. He reached out to grab the card, but Ace dodged it nimbly.

"If you don't dare to follow me, forget it, just pretend I've never been here."

"Tsk, Dad wouldn't be that stingy."

In the spiritual space, the King of Ultra, who had forcibly connected with Taro through the powerful Ultra Telekinesis, breathed a sigh of relief.

"who is it?"

The two were very excited to see Taro, and they finally breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Taro say that everything was fine.

Taylor said seriously.

The voice of "Dark Taro" came from all directions, like the whisper of an evil spirit and the temptation of a devil.

Max, who had a Chinese face, shook his head helplessly when he heard this and said, "My second brother is not in the army now, so you don't have to call me the general anymore."

The difference is that the man was not red, but was completely black with bloodshot eyes!
While Higashi Kotaro felt his body become lighter, Taro, who was residing in the Ultra Medal, also felt his dark aura dissipating.

"Does it matter who I am?" Ace handed the wine glass to Tregear.

"Taylor."

"Who am I? I am you."

“I didn’t do anything, actually.”

"Very good, you are still that brave warrior full of hope. Your two brothers are here to pick you up. Follow them and go back."

Before Taro could figure out the situation, he suddenly heard someone calling him.

He sat upright, staring at Ace, expecting an answer.

Tregear squinted at Ace and spoke incoherently, but his squinting eyes were slightly focused, making it difficult to tell whether he was really drunk or just pretending and waiting for something.

"Dark Taro" appeared again, laughing, as if mocking Taro for being unwilling to face the darkness in his heart and to admit his own desires.

"Well, don't worry. The court of inquiry will definitely make the most fair ruling. There will definitely not be the slightest injustice or misjudgment. You will definitely be cleared of all charges."

"Even if Father Belia wants to be mad at you."

But it doesn’t matter whether he is really drunk or not. What matters is his current performance, which makes Ace very satisfied!
……

After leaving the Kingdom of Light in a state of despair, Tregear, who had a small fortune, had been drinking in Balta Zhangheng. Higashi Kotaro smiled, laughed, and continued to work.

"Okay, I'm going to start my experience. I don't know what I will encounter on Earth." Max said.

"What's important is not who I am, but how can you be sure that you have waited for me?" Ace smiled and waved his hand, signaling the bartender to come forward and add more wine.

"I will give you enough power to conquer the universe! No one can stop you! The entire galaxy will worship you!!"

Tregear, who disappeared from the Kingdom of Light and was judged to have resigned voluntarily, is now "living a life of drunkenness and debauchery" in the Baltan Trading Company in the suburbs.

Ace took out a card with an address on it and said, "If you want to know something, maybe you can go here."

After they flew away, Max and others who were hiding flew into the earth.

"Well, be careful on the road."

As Dark Taro continued to whisper, Taro began to fall into a strange state of drowsiness. A crack appeared in his mind. Not only did he begin to think about what Dark Taro said, but he also felt that what the other party said was not completely wrong...

This is why he is praised by everyone.

Seeing Taro being so upright and willing to take on everything, everyone felt a pang of sadness in their hearts.

Taro looked at everything in front of him as if he was seeing a nightmare.

"Tairo! Are you okay?"

……

He made a mistake and can find out the truth, but he cannot escape or cover it up.

"Well, I believe brother."

This is a literal meaning. Smart businessmen have developed a special kind of wine. Even the Light Clan, who are pure energy bodies, will become drunk and unconscious after drinking it.

"General, did you just bring out the darkness in Taro's heart?" Scott, who had transformed into a strong and handsome white young man, asked curiously.

"The King of Ultra..."

"Who are you!?"

"Brother Shodai! Brother Jack!"

Scott smiled and said, "I'm used to it. Etiquette should not be abolished. Don't worry about these details. Explain to us quickly, what did you just do?"

Chuck, who had transformed into a handsome middle-aged man, and Beth, who had transformed into a blonde beauty, were also very curious.

Tregear stood up and almost fell down due to dizziness. After steadying himself, he took a step and followed Ace's pace.
The "Dark Taro" on the opposite side laughed, and it was a literal "laugh".

Beth laughed and said, "But if he really falls into darkness, maybe I will take the initiative to pursue him."

The bartender stepped forward, and wisely left the room after drinking, and turned on the privacy function of the room to ensure that the conversation between the two would not be heard by outsiders, even though there were no "outsiders" in Baltan Trading Company.

"There is no child. You have done nothing wrong. This is all the enemy's trick and has nothing to do with you."

He saw himself, wearing an Ultra cloak, standing at the highest point of the Ultra Square, receiving the worship of the entire Ultra clan!

Taro smiled and nodded, and then the three of them set off together, flying towards the Kingdom of Light.

"As long as you can put down the useless and hypocritical disguise, you will have it all!"

"Oh, oh...it's nothing, I just suddenly thought of something."

King of Ultra gently comforted Taro and tactfully told him the decision of Father of Ultra.

The outskirts of the Kingdom of Light.

"No, it's not important?"

"That's not true! I threw that idea away a long time ago!"

That is selfless, fighting purely for justice and love, and being able to fight for a lifetime and carry out the great ideal to the end of the universe. It is the direction of progress for the entire Ultra Clan!

"Give me another cup... burp!"

"clear."

As we all know, when you start thinking about whether what a psychopath says is right or wrong, you are not far from becoming a psychopath.

"Brothers, I have to fight for the Kingdom of Light with you. No matter what, this measure was indeed made by my own hands. I am willing to go back and undergo a rigorous mental examination. I will accept whatever the result is."

"Tsk, what are you afraid of?"

Torrekia lay there dazed, and even though he was about to pass out from drunkenness, he still did not forget to ask the front desk for a refill.

"It's very simple, just help me do something~"

Ace smiled and said, "If you want to get something, you have to give something. I'll give you the address and the information. What can you give me?"

After falling to Earth, the four took on the appearance of their own human forms.

But through battles and trials, he gradually understood the true meaning of the path chosen by the Kingdom of Light!
After feeling the privacy function turned on, Torrekia sobered up instantly!

Taro cried out in shock. The moment he saw the other person, he saw a sea of ​​fire. That was the crime he had committed not long ago and it was his lifelong nightmare!

He used to study and work hard just to gain people's praise.

Max smiled and said, "I just used the backup plan left by Prince Ace to split Taro's mind in advance. That means from now on, there are two personalities in Taro's body."

After understanding the true meaning, Taro gave up his vanity and fought wholeheartedly for this cause and ideal.

But now, the other party has uncovered all the secrets hidden in his heart, and even reflected all his previous fantasies...

"That dark secondary personality will not compete with Taro for control of the body, so it will not attract the attention of others."

"This drink is on me."

"I am..."

"But this secondary personality will constantly seduce, corrupt, and interfere with Taro's decisions and thoughts, gradually distorting his thoughts and behaviors."

"Come with me, we'll talk when we get there." Ace said as he stood up and opened a portal out of thin air.

Just as Taro was gradually sliding towards the abyss, the "Dark Taro" who was about to succeed suddenly stopped, and disappeared at an extremely fast speed, diving into deeper darkness.

After hearing Ultra Father's decision, Taro was not angry or resentful. Instead, he felt that this was the best decision.

"I'm not sure either, but I know you're waiting for someone. I'm an intermediary who specializes in these introductions."

When Ace arrived here, he changed his form and hid himself.

"King of Ultra?" Taro asked in surprise: "Why are you here? Did I do something wrong again just now..."

"no no!"

"what's up?"

On the contrary, the smart guy has been waiting for something!
"Hahahaha!"

"Interesting, very interesting... I'm not sure if I've waited for the person I want to wait for, but now that you mention it, it does seem like it. So, are you the person I'm waiting for?"
