Ultraman: The Dark Shadow Mage, Creating a Magic Empire

Chapter 142 "The Multitude of Mothers"

"Taiga..."

As Torregia watched the three leave together, a strange feeling suddenly welled up inside him.

He and Taro came up with the name together; it was used to name his invention, the Taiga Spark.

"Tch, that's really strange."

Torregia shook his head and then left.

He already knew whose son the other was, and although Taro named his son after the name they had chosen together, it touched Toregia a little.

But that doesn't change anything.

Tregear will not return to the Land of Light because of this, nor will he betray his ideals and beliefs.

After he learned about and came into contact with the Shadow Empire, after he obtained the power of chaos, and after he understood the true meaning of power from the Shadow Empire.

He will never return to the Land of Light, because he and the Land of Light are on completely different paths!

He wanted to prove that the black-and-white dichotomy was wrong, and that power itself was neither right nor wrong, but rather determined by the person wielding it!

He left the Grand Arena and then appeared in Taro's cell.

He saw Taro meditating in contemplation, but he did not approach or disturb him.

Because of the small moment of emotion he felt earlier, he decided to save face for his old friend.

This can be considered my last act of affection for her.

"Taro, Taro, the dark aura around you has been suppressed. Anyway, we'll meet again soon. I'll be waiting for you."

Torregia sneered and then left the Land of Light.

……

at the same time.

In another region of the Andromeda Galaxy, a strange fleet is crawling swiftly through the shadows.

It is described as crawling because it is a living creature!

A special creature composed of flesh and blood and steel!

These are special creations of the swarm, called "Capital Starship Bugs". There are no fewer than ten such Capital Starship Bugs in the entire "Swarm Mother" fleet!

Each main starship bug has a clone of a "swarm mother" who acts as the commander of the entire fleet, leading it to carry out different missions.

As it crawls, countless black dots fly out from its body, leaving only endless void wherever they pass, with not a trace of matter remaining.

These "cleaners" are nanobees, countless in number, that decompose and devour everything they encounter.

The asteroids that the fleet passes by, including planets without strategic value or life, white dwarfs, red dwarfs, and even some stars, are all targets for their decomposition and food for the swarm!

The "Mother of the Masses" has only one mission: to sweep across all lifeless worlds and then bring all living worlds into the great cause of the Shadow Emperor!

The "group of mothers" follows the path of assimilation.

She is the most unique and unconventional of the nine generals. She doesn't care what means she uses, as long as she can achieve her goal!

At the same time, unlike other generals, she did not care about worldly ethics. Her group revolved around her as "one," and she revolved around Norman as "one."

It was such a simple relationship of domination; she didn't need to be responsible to anyone else, she only needed to follow Norman's orders and her own instincts.

What she is doing now is part of a conquest plan.

Sail, gather resources, produce more insects, then search for life-bearing planets and civilizations, and conquer and annex them.

Those with potential and those who volunteered joined the Shadow Empire; those who were unwilling, lacked potential, or resisted were all absorbed into the Swarm.

She's done it many times before, so she knows it very well.

The swarm traveled and soon came to a stop in front of a completely new planet.

This planet is teeming with life, and there are even many trading ships moving across its surface.

Clearly, this is a highly advanced civilization, and they have already begun developing their home star system.

Even after discovering this civilization, the "Mother of the Masses" immediately ordered the assimilation of this civilization.

"Don't even think about it!"

But just as the swarm arrived on the planet and was about to begin assessing the entire planet, a beam of light streaked across and blasted through the capital starship!

After piercing through the swarm's capital ship, the beam of light solidified.

He transformed into a uniquely styled Ultra Warrior, and soon more than a dozen beams of light flew in around him. They were an elite squad of the Space Garrison, specifically responsible for the exploration of the Andromeda Galaxy.

On their journey, they heard about the insect swarm's deeds, and the Land of Light deeply abhorred such acts of wantonly destroying civilizations and invading others.

They immediately changed formation and gave chase, finally catching up with one of the Zerg's fleets here.

At the same time, they gathered their power and transformed it into a beam of light that directly pierced through the Zerg's main warship, attempting to preemptively strike at the Zerg's combat strength.

"I finally made it."

"Yeah, these bugs are so fast."

"Let's act quickly, just in case they have some hidden abilities."

"it is good."

After exchanging ideas, the team members prepared to split up and take action to wipe out the entire swarm of insects.

But just as they were preparing to act.

A strange fluctuation suddenly emanated from the capital ship that had been bombarded in advance and blown into two pieces.

"What happened?"

They looked in the direction of the capital ship.

The main battleship, which was originally broken into two sections, began to sprout fleshy buds outwards under a strange force. These buds grew at a visible speed and then connected with each other, miraculously restoring the ship to its original state!

"How is that possible!?"

The elite squad members exclaimed in surprise, never expecting the swarm to possess such capabilities.

Just as they were surprised, a huge lump suddenly grew on the capital ship. The lump was enormous and was still growing.

The huge tumor split open, and as everyone looked closely, they saw a slender figure emerge from it.

Judging from her appearance, she should be a human-like female individual with a perfect, tall figure and a black keratin layer on her body, like a beautiful black armor.

It has four hands, each holding a huge, thin, sharp blade, and its head also has a black keratinous layer and strange horns.

She was like a Valkyrie, flying directly toward the Ultra Elite Squad after she appeared.

She appeared before an Ultra Warrior in the blink of an eye, like a black lightning bolt.

He swung all four hands at the same time, and four sharp blades slashed from four directions, blocking all of the opponent's movement routes.

"Sizzle!"

The blade pierced through the opponent. This Ultra Warrior also possessed galaxy-level strength, but he was powerless to resist in front of the "Mother of the Masses"!

"not good!"

The remaining Ultra Warriors reacted quickly and launched an attack on the group mother.

But the moment they attacked, the group's mother had already disappeared from their sight.

Then the black light kept disappearing and reappearing, each time taking away a precious life!

Until the squad leader died at the hands of the group's leader.

The queen casually raised her hand, taking all the genetic material of these Ultra Warriors back to the nest and tossing it to the mother insects responsible for reproduction, so they could raise special individuals.

Then the swarm started up again, and the civilization before them could not escape their fate.

This was just a minor incident on the expedition route...
