Ultraman: The Dark Shadow Mage, Creating a Magic Empire

Chapter 100 The Great Expedition Begins, Let the Universe Burn (4k)

"Whoosh!"

The portal opened again, but this time it appeared on the Kingdom's home planet.

Why should we run?

As soon as he landed, Diablo looked at Tartarus with displeasure, since Tartarus had just shattered the magic circle and he had already begun to gather his power.

If he were to unleash that move, combined with Tartarus's "Absolute Destruction," he could definitely eliminate Leo, Astra, and Regulus there!

"Within that suddenly opened portal, there was an aura as powerful as a king."

Tartarus looked at the Cascade Tower ahead, his eyes filled with deep fear and shock.

"He didn't make a direct move. I don't know if he's in some kind of predicament like Wang, or if he's on guard against something, but I can't gamble on it. We're no match for him."

"And in that portal, I saw a tower even more magnificent than the Cascade Tower, a tower that also radiated light! It was a kingdom similar to the Land of Light and our own!"

"You mean!" Diablo was also shocked, putting aside his previous dissatisfaction and wanting to get the answer he was looking for.

"right!"

Tartarus nodded vigorously and said, "That place must be suitable for us too!"

"Then we should have risked everything to capture Regulus and the others!"

"It's too dangerous. We know nothing about them. We might as well keep them so we have a point of observation."

Tartarus said seriously, "Perhaps my guess is correct. Their king is also unable to act for some reason. This is our opportunity. Let's monitor Regulus and the others first, and then attack once we find their location!"

Diablo turned his head away unhappily, but didn't say anything more.

He turned and left. Next, he would continue to study the Cosmic Beast Fist, striving to obtain his own mythical beast as soon as possible and enhance his strength.

Tartarus glanced at him, then turned and opened a portal to continue monitoring the movements of the Land of Light.

"If I remember correctly, the people of the Land of Light will next be heading to that place... called Earth."

……

"His Majesty."

Leo turned and bowed towards the direction of the imperial capital, followed by Astra, Regulus, Master Raiting, and others.

Norman's voice came from the portal, "The fate of D60 has been rewritten. Leo and Astra have returned to the team, Regulus has reported to the support unit, and the rest have taken up positions at the Imperial Academy."

"Yes, sir!"

No one had any complaints about Norman's arrangements.

They witnessed the power of Diablo and Tartarus, who arrived later.

If Norman hadn't intervened, they would have either been captured or reduced to ashes!

The portal is closed.

After everyone stood up, they exchanged glances. Then Astra ran outside, preparing to mobilize troops to encircle and annihilate the Magma alien fleet.

"That was really dangerous..." Leo looked at Master Raitei, who was still resting, and recalled the scene just now, feeling extremely scared.

"Yes, Your Majesty is truly powerful. With just a single sentence, you forced that terrifying fellow to retreat," Regulus exclaimed, the scene he had just witnessed leaving a deep impression on him.

Such a powerful being actually panicked and fled after only hearing what His Majesty said, leaving behind a string of threats!

With such backing, wouldn't one be able to roam freely in the universe?

"Let's rest for a bit and then set off. The duties His Majesty has assigned you are relatively easy, but each mission may require you to go to very far places."

Upon hearing Leo's words, Regulos immediately recalled Norman's appointment of him and asked curiously, "By the way, what exactly does this support force do?"

Leo explained, "We are currently in the M78 Nebula, located in the constellation Orion. The Milky Way is vast, and the Shadow Empire's territory is much larger than we imagine."

"As far as I know, there are nine legions in total. General Belial's legion is constantly keeping the Land of Light in check. Of the original five generals, apart from General Caitlin who guards the capital, the other four generals, Caesar, Augustine, Alexander, and Cang Yu, are divided into four major war zones and are expanding in all directions."

"The other three generals were promoted ten thousand years ago. They are General Ornn, the 'Lord of Molten Fire' of the dwarves, General Max Ultraman of the Light and Dark race, and Bella, the 'Mother of the Swarm' of the insect race."

"Their mission is to explore the edge of the galaxy and expand into the deeper reaches of space, where the battles are fought openly and fiercely."

"Special support is often needed to help complete special missions that require high-end combat capabilities, and that's what the support troops do. I've also trained in the support troops before, and His Majesty might appoint you to the Imperial Guard in the future."

After hearing Leo's explanation, Regulus gasped.

He didn't know much about these things when he was studying at the Imperial Academy, but he did know about the Empire's classification of power levels.

People like Leo and his level belong to the sixth-order galaxy level. Leo is at the upper level of the galaxy level, while Regulus himself is at the middle level of the galaxy level.

In the battle just now, Diaz, who originally couldn't learn anything, displayed a level far beyond the galaxy level, reaching the upper level or even the peak of the super galaxy level!

As for the one who came later, he possessed power approaching that of a single universe!

He originally thought the battles to come would be difficult, but after Leo's explanation, he discovered that the Empire's strength was no weaker than that of the enemies before him, and was even stronger!

He had met Belial, whose strength had reached the upper level of a supergalactic system, equal to Diablo, or even stronger.

And this is one of the standards for becoming a general!

In other words, to serve as a Grand General, one needs at least the strength of a supergalaxy!

And on the surface, the Shadow Empire has nine such entities!

This is even more than the number of powerful beings he knows from the Land of Light!

Support troops, on the other hand, are special forces sent to support the fleets led by these powerful entities. They can meet these important figures anytime and anywhere, and even receive guidance from them!

"Understood, I will try my best!"

"Okay, let's go." Leo nodded with a smile.

By this time, the battle outside had also ended.

In fact, Astra didn't even have time to notify them. After Diablo's aura appeared, the fleet that Augustine had ordered to hide made its move!

Augustine truly lived up to his reputation as the most prudent general; he had already planned everything out. If Tartarus hadn't appeared, he might have even stepped in to help capture Diablo!

Leo and his two companions bid farewell to Master Leiting and the others, and stepped into the portal to report to their respective departments.

After reporting for duty, they each went to the battlefield and began to write their own legends.

……

"It's still too slow, which is hindering my plans."

Clang!

"The enemy's resistance is too fierce. If we want to take over this planet intact as an outpost, we must wait."

Clang!

"Waiting, waiting... Ornn has waited for nearly two millennia, why are they so stubborn?"

Clang!

Ornn's voice was full of the deep, muffled "hum" characteristic of dwarves, low but magnetic.

He stood in front of a furnace, and with each word he spoke, he would swing the hammer in his hand and strike the iron ingot in front of him.

Teton stood beside him, helping him flip the rare mithril.

He added, "It could be for power, for strength, or perhaps for the continuation of one's race, or for the protection of one's homeland."

Speaking of Teton, we must mention his endless delays; he has only now completed the forging of a single artifact.

After observing the artifacts of the Land of Light, he set off with Holsodi, collecting many rare metals throughout the universe.

He then returned to the dwarf planet and forged it into magical metals such as mithril and adamantite, a process that took him nearly ten thousand years!

Over these ten thousand years, he taught many disciples, one of whom was hailed as "the emperor's favorite".

He is a powerful lava dwarf who was born with eternal flames!

He was incredibly loyal to Norman, as if he had only come into this world to serve Norman.

After his birth, Teton's artifacts were finally forged successfully!

And this "favored one of the emperors" is none other than the current dwarf general Ornn!

Ornn used his eternal fire to help smelt these super-powerful magical metals, shaping them and then imbuing them with powerful magical abilities.

This is how the legendary hammer in Ornn's hands was forged – the "Firebreaker Hammer".

Closer to home.

Upon hearing Teeton's words, Ornn, who stands 70 meters tall, let out an annoyed snort.

Flames spewed from his nostrils, causing the surrounding lava to erupt as well. A surge of fire elemental magic caused the temperature to rise, turning the already red-hot forge room into a dark, almost black, red hue.

"Master, you are still too merciful. If we want to make the Shadow Empire great, spread His Majesty's glory, and permanently erase war, we must clash with them."

"To eliminate their nationhood and racial ideology is to eliminate future disputes and divisions. Everything should belong to the empire; this is the right path."

"Anything that stands in our way will be crushed by my hammer."

As he spoke, Orn looked up at the outside of the spaceship.

Not far from the spaceship was a planet, whose surface was constantly emitting violent explosions visible to the naked eye, with spaceships crashing and taking off continuously.

That was one of the planets they were attacking this time, and also the most stubborn one.

This race is similar to humans. They have a complete military-industrial complex and a system of supreme monarchy, where everything is devoted to the king, and other species are considered unworthy of existence.

Using this idea, they wiped out all other intelligent species on their planet and then developed space-age technology to venture into space.

Their ideology is dangerous, and this mentality of regarding the king as everything and then obeying orders to destroy others, believing that other species are not worthy of survival, is exactly what the Shadow Empire people hate the most!

The Shadow Empire is loyal to Norman, but they dare to think and refute. They are more independent and have their own ideas, so they hate this kind of intellectual confinement the most!

The idea that other races would not survive was so rebellious that it had to be defined as taboo for a Shadow Empire that was a combination of multiple races!

So after making contact and discovering that the other party was unwilling to change, Ornn issued a massacre order.

"If the universe is full of such races, then let our flames burn the galaxy, and then build a completely new system from the ruins."

Ornn said this as he brought his hammer down again.

when!

As the hammer fell, sparks flew, and immense energy was compressed and injected into the sword resting on the anvil.

This is the next divine weapon they are going to forge. Unlike the "Firebreaker Hammer" which contains flames and creation, this sword carries the power of destruction and slaughter, and is intended for Belial to use.

By wielding a divine artifact, one can receive its blessing, gaining unlimited magic power and the ability to instantly cast imprinted magic, as well as exponentially amplifying the wielder's strength.

When Ornn wielded the Hammer of Fire, he possessed power surpassing that of a supergalaxy and comparable to that of a single universe!

Around the forging room, there are ten specially made containers containing the embryos of the ten divine artifacts that will be forged in the future.

"You always have such a murderous aura. His Majesty has not asked anything of you." Titon knew his disciple's personality and couldn't help but shake his head.

"His Majesty made no request or hint, but as His Majesty's subjects, we must share His Majesty's burdens. This is what you taught us, Master."

"It's true that I taught you, but we need to slow down and not take too big a step."

"Hmm, I'll have the fleet slow down and wait for those goblins behind us."

Orn considered it and adopted Teeton's suggestion.

They had indeed gone too far and had become separated from the land forces behind them, creating a "vacuum zone" of nearly thirty light-years between the two fleets.

If a clever person were to intercept them on the way, they would completely encircle the vanguard!

Teton didn't say anything more, he just helped Ornn flip the metal, adjust its state, and infuse it with the corresponding power.

This is his job.

He collected and forged the magical metals, and he also designed the artifacts. The reason Orn was needed to craft them was simply because Teton did not have a powerful enough flame.

There was no way around it; he forged the magical metals just too well!

Even the Science and Technology Bureau was extremely amazed by this, and repeatedly tested the magical metal he forged. In the end, they had to use magical means to figure out the atomic and molecular structure of it, so that it could be applied to civilian buildings and military weapons.

Therefore, all the honor actually belongs to Teton. The two are very close, not only as master and disciple, but also as father and son!

when--

The moment Ornn brought his hammer down again, the two of them looked up at each other at the same time.

They received a message from Norman.

Upon receiving this news, Ornn picked up the Hammer of Fire, and Teeton picked up his own hammer.

The two took a step forward and instantly transformed into flames, landing on the planet in front of them. Then, countless ground fleets of the Shadow Empire took off and evacuated all personnel and supplies.

After everyone evacuated, a massive explosion rose from the center of the planet.

"Boom!"

A massive crack rose from the center of the planet, and with a deafening explosion, the entire planet began to shatter and disintegrate!

All life on that planet was annihilated by this terrifying, planet-destroying force.

"Whoosh!"

Ornn and Teton returned to the ship, and Ornn then gave the order: "All units, full-scale attack on Andromeda!"

"This time, we will ignite the universe!"
