Ultraman: The Dark Shadow Mage, Creating a Magic Empire

Chapter 115 Taro's Confusion, Imitating Noah, New Magic (4k)

Main universe, Earth.

Taro, who had just woken up, looked around blankly.

All around were ruins and rubble, and in the burning ruins were blackened human-shaped branding marks...

The collapsed and broken streets, the fallen buildings—all these things combined suggest that this was once a bustling urban area.

Now, all is silent, and the former prosperity has been completely destroyed.

As Taro watched these scenes unfold, fragments of memories suddenly flashed through his mind.

He stood in the city, recklessly unleashing beams of light that killed the super beast, and then... and then...

"What happened to me?! I...did I do this?!"

Taro looked at his hands in shock.

After defeating the super beast, he... fired a beam of light at the city again!?

Moreover, looking at the red giant before him, he felt as if he were seeing himself, a sense of familiarity mixed with strangeness...

His body turned into light and dissipated, but because Mother of Ultra had prepared a human host in advance, Taro did not die. Instead, he turned into light and merged into the human host, Kotaro Higashi.

Taro felt a wave of dizziness, and then could no longer hold on, collapsing forward weakly.

Of course, there are ways to counter it.

"That's a bit of an exaggeration. The human species is actually quite remarkable; some of their spirits are very similar to what's described in books."

It should be described as a special improvement, a completely new direction of magic that is diametrically opposed to the original magic.

"yes!"

What's wrong with me...?

For example.

After the exchange, both Noah and the King of Ultra showed expressions of shock!

"So it's because you don't want to face your dark past, huh?" Norman shook his head, both amused and exasperated.

Just like the dream he had, it was warm, full of hope and courage.

Using himself as a magic circle, he stores magic power at all times, and this stored magic power can be used to cast spells instantly in battle, destroying enemies in an instant!

"Very good, the next step is to open up the higher-dimensional space."

Norman experimented with lightning magic and discovered that the runes that make up each lightning spell were not arranged in a fixed, balanced pattern, but rather in an extremely exaggerated manner.

Norman wields the power of the shadows and can always sense something calling to him from the shadowy side.

A seventh-tier, peak-level archmage possesses enough magical power to unleash hundreds of powerful seventh-tier attack spells in a short period of time.

Norman wanted to improve lightning magic, which was invented thirteen thousand years ago by Alan's young apprentice, an ambitious young man named Thor.

But because he was too proud to admit it, he never took action...

If it's just short-term work and you rotate shifts frequently, there shouldn't be much danger.

But don't underestimate the shadow side.

People on the streets began to protest, demanding that the Japanese government and the Earth Defense Force investigate and bring the alien who had killed more than 10,000 people to justice.

The news showed footage of Taro killing the Super Beast, followed by a scene of Taro frantically firing beams at the city, destroying surrounding buildings and indirectly slaughtering tens of thousands of people.

main universe.

Norman only experienced the power of "Lightning Noah" firsthand during his battle with Noah.

Norman originally didn't want to pay attention to these things; having one more spell or one less spell was completely irrelevant to him.

While seeing the dark side, Norman also discovered the shadow side within the vast space of the multiverse.

Noah's figure appears in these ruins.

Thor is now a seventh-level archmage. In theory, with his abilities, he could easily modify lightning magic.

This set of lightning magic should more accurately be called thunder magic.

The magic power loss involved is more than a hundred times! More than a thousand times!

"This alien is a demon too!"

Chuck shook his head, while Scott, standing to the side, remained silent, seemingly unconcerned about such matters.

If an ordinary person were to cast the spell, it would be difficult to detect the changes; they would simply assume that the spell was too difficult and consumed too much magic power.

"Dongguang! Come here right now, what are you standing there for!"

Norman stands in the dark universe.

This magic system follows Thor's original research path, maximizing the power of magic!

Norman looked at his masterpiece and nodded in satisfaction. He then erected a massive stargate at the core station, Earth.

"Come quick!"

It looks bizarre, but it's actually very practical!

Perhaps only a being like Norman, who is a single-universe entity and also possesses the power of darkness, could move around and even survive in this place.

Norman began to take action.

He always felt that things shouldn't have unfolded this way, because the other person radiated a light that made him feel close and warm.

"That's a bit too twisted."

Since his own people are unwilling to accept this favor, he, as the emperor, will lend them a hand.

Why? Why is this happening? Why... can't I remember anything?

Norman frowned slightly, then looked at Thor through the lens of bloodline and discovered Thor's little secret...

However, when he tried to unleash lightning magic, the same amount of magic power could only unleash ten seventh-tier lightning spells.

"Um?"

Even those aliens who use dark power and yearn for darkness would not cross the universe to live in these places!

"What will they do next? Will they send people to arrest and interrogate their own son, or will they pretend nothing happened and try every means to clear his name?"

As Higashi Kotaro watched all this, he felt a strange, inexplicable feeling.

"Yes! It's a monster too, we must drive it away!"

He attacked humans with his own hands!

This unknown region, unexplored by any living being, harbors a power that even Norman finds captivating!

Ace said, "You all just watch from here on out. I'm going to make contact with that Tregear; I'll personally guide him to join the Empire!"

"Making him suspicious is only the first step. Even if he realizes it was because of us, having his hands stained with the blood of innocent people will leave an indelible scar on his heart!"

"Isn't it interesting?"

The dark side of the Ultra Multiverse does not contain any living dark universes like those found in DC or the Marvel Dark Multiverse.

As Norman's hands moved, one strange combination of runes after another was born.

Noah had never met the King of Ultra on his own initiative before; this was the first time he had summoned him.

Leo said, "Back then, His Majesty, the General, and all our predecessors fought in this way to build the Shadow Empire we have today."

Just as he turned around, he heard a sigh.

In his reflection, or rather, in the depths of his soul, Taro awoke once more.

As Norman departed once more, a beam of light flew from the edge of the universe and landed on the planet Babel.

"Am I late again...?"

These sites possess powerful magic, and based on one colossal magic circle after another, they have constructed a miraculous project that rivals a colossal magic tower!

Although Lightning Noah is just the name of this special move and its essence has little to do with electricity, the overlap and transformation of energy is something Norman needs to learn.

He hadn't forgotten that there was still an entire shadow side of the multiverse waiting for him to explore and reap!

These excessively pure dark forces will devour everything that enters them.

However, the lightning magic he invented was not even as powerful as the magic that humans imagined!

However, this lightning magic is not suitable for personal use, but for war. Based on a large magic array, it stores and mobilizes the natural magic power in the universe to form a super-large lightning bombardment on the battlefield that is capable of destroying everything!

Just as Kotaro Higashi was staring blankly at the TV, his friends called out to him.

The five bowed to Ace and watched him leave through the portal.

Based on this, Norman created an extremely enhanced version of lightning magic.

Citizens of the Shadow Empire who learn thunder magic can transform into humanoid self-propelled turrets simply by inscribing thunder magic runes on their bodies!

……

"Not bad. We'll have them all have a set engraved on it. Then, whenever we encounter people from the Land of Light, we'll give them a 'Thunder Bombardment' first. Let's see how they fight back!"

After Noah revealed himself, another powerful aura flew in from the universe and landed in front of Noah.

Norman's powerful brain was activated to its fullest extent in an instant, and the magical runes developed by the Shadow Empire over the past 30,000 years appeared one by one before his eyes.

To make thunder magic more practical, Norman invented a completely new set of runes.

……

The summoned King of Ultra looked at Noah with a puzzled expression. Neither of them spoke, but communicated silently through telepathy.

Norman, on the other hand, returned directly to the palace and began researching a completely new kind of magic.

The power is equally immense, but whether it is released using one's own magic or activated by the magic between heaven and earth, the energy conversion is shockingly low.

The newcomer was none other than the King of Ultra!

It is precisely because of this staggering cost that many people are unwilling to learn lightning magic, which is why lightning magic has not been able to develop to this day.

After the rune combination was created, Norman further differentiated and adjusted it, making detailed modifications and expansions.

"Hmm...it's not entirely due to energy loss during release; it's more about the excessive power, which requires even more energy..."

As Norman built the station, tunnels stretched out into space from the station, with a new station on a planet every hundred light-years, before continuing to extend.

Even the creator himself didn't immediately understand what was going on, to the point that Thor eventually gave up lightning magic.

This "web" that spans the entire dark universe shimmers with a mesmerizing light—the light of magical miracles!

It wouldn't be accurate to call it entirely new magic.

"Let me see. The problem lies entirely in the conversion efficiency. As long as we can improve the conversion efficiency and bring it back to normal levels, we can greatly improve the combat efficiency of lightning magic."

The King of Ultra looked at Noah. As two of the Four Mysterious Ultras, both were at the peak of their respective universes, so there was no difference in their strength.

On the moon, Beth stood to one side with his arms crossed, laughing as he said, "The son of a cosmic hero killed tens of thousands of people and destroyed an entire city block on Earth, the very planet they had placed their hopes in."

The lightning magic he improved was no longer just about power; it also took into account functions such as energy conversion, energy conduction, paralysis, control, and transformation.

Tartarus frowned slightly as he looked at the deserted planet Babel.

Kotaro Higashi is currently watching the news.

Simply put, it means abandoning everything else and pursuing only power!

They both fell silent for a long while before exchanging a glance and leaving.

If things get too bad, I can just stay there too long and then go back to absorb some of the light's power.

Following the trajectory of history, he came here again, but this time he was too late and did not witness the historic meeting between the King of Ultra and Noah.

For personal use, it can meet the threshold of accepting dark power. Then, with the passages and energy collection devices personally set up by Norman, it might be possible for the Shadow Empire to operate in the dark universe.

Norman smiled and then sent the improved lightning and thunder magic to Thor and Allen. After that, Caitlin opened the stargate again and left.

Norman raised his hand and grasped the Dark Staff, using his immense power, comparable to that of a single universe, to unleash dimensional and spatial magic, forcibly constructing collection tunnels and stations.

Taro saw everything that Higashi Kotaro saw, which only deepened Taro's confusion, to the point that he could only let out a helpless sigh.

This leads to an imbalance in the magical conduction and conversion capabilities. When casting lightning magic, the magical energy is consumed at an extremely short rate to recharge the runes that increase its power.

Kotaro Higashi turned around in confusion, but saw nothing.

In these universes that have fallen into complete darkness, there is no "life" in the broad sense.

"This environment is really harsh. However, there are no living beings in this multiverse. Perhaps we can drag the Shadow Starfield directly here, or connect it to the shadow side of the multiverse, which would make it easier to collect these dark universes."

This light resists the erosion of the universe's "death" resentment. Even without human control, it can slowly and automatically absorb the universe's energy, gradually hollowing out this dark universe!

He looked up, his gaze piercing through the barriers of the universe, and saw the dark side of the entire multiverse.

After the Stargate was set up, Norman sent the message back to the Shadow Empire, instructing Edward to bring his men to take over.

The dark side and the shadow side are two different existences, the dark side being more deeply hidden, existing in the space between the positive and the negative sides.

Coming to his senses, Kotaro Higashi put aside his doubts and waved to his friends with a smile, saying, "You're here!"

Not long after they left, a golden light burst forth in the universe—it was Tartarus.

So Norman thought of this lightning magic and took it out to see what was going on.

His friend called out again, and Higashi Kotaro jogged across the street to meet up with his friend and discuss what to have for dinner.
