Ultraman: The Dark Shadow Mage, Creating a Magic Empire

Esmeraluda Universe.

Princess Emerala sat in her seat, looking at the reports brought to her by the royal ministers with a headache.

After the entire Esmeralda universe joined the Shadow Empire, Norman, in recognition of their contributions, ordered that their titles be retained and granted them the honorary title of Duke.

And so, Emeralana's title of "Princess" was preserved.

Amelana is now the empire's governor in this region, a position of greater authority than her sisters and brothers.

This was not because she possessed military power, but because she had the best talent and the greatest political talent, and also because Norman's gaze had lingered on her!

Simply put, Emeralna is Norman's chosen one in this universe!

He is the spokesperson who has been blessed and empowered by Norman himself!

"These guys just came and wreaked havoc without any explanation, destroying over a decade of hard work by everyone in our universe, and they have the audacity to claim they're here to save us! It's outrageous!"

Amellana wanted to swear, but her excellent upbringing prevented her from uttering more than one word: "That's too much."

Zero and the pirates believed that everything they were doing was right, and that they were liberating the Esmeralda universe.

But for the Esmeralda aliens who had already joined the Empire, this was a shameful invasion, a shameful aggression!

What they saw was this group of guys invading their hard-won homeland under the guise of "liberation," wreaking havoc, and then supporting those who hadn't joined the empire before exploiting them!

Zero had no idea that the situation in the Esmeralda universe was completely different from that in the fringe universe.

The fringe universe is a universe that can be abandoned at any time, so no one there receives a systematic education, and only a small elite will have the opportunity to join the Empire.

So they were able to wage guerrilla warfare there and raise up resistance forces.

However, only a small number of people who completely lost their home planet in the war after fully joining the Empire will harbor deep hatred for the Empire and continue to plunder everywhere, calling themselves pirates!

Therefore, for the people of the Esmeralda universe, Zero's so-called "salvation" is actually nothing but destruction!

Amellana took a deep breath and said, "Let's gather resources and personnel to repair the portal first. The rest of the infrastructure construction and planetary recapture will have to be postponed."

"Summon all the generals..." Amellana said, thinking of the lost planets and those arrogant traitors. With a face full of anger, she spoke the harshest words in the gentlest voice.

"Let's charge in and kill those bastards who destroyed our homes!"

Then the entire Esmeralda came to life, with countless resources mobilized to begin rebuilding the portal.

Meanwhile, several legions began to gather at the portal's location from all over the galaxy, and just one standard month later, a massive fleet was assembled.

The portal that Zero and the others destroyed has now been repaired and looks brand new!

"Let's go! Let's make those who destroyed our homes pay the price they deserve!"

Amellana led her army through the portal and quickly arrived at the Imperial headquarters in the outer universe.

After emerging from the portal, she led her army through the checks and headed straight for Earth.

……

Earth.

While Emeralana was launching her expedition, Zero's people had already arrived on Earth.

The moment they arrived on Earth, the previously hidden Tregear activated his concealed magic circle, revealing the magic circle he had prepared, along with the Plasma Spark, to Zero.

Torregia appeared before Zero himself and bowed to them with great elegance.

"You must be Ultraman Zero?" Tregear asked with a smile. "Just as they said, you are incredibly powerful and exceptionally talented."

"You must be Tregear? I've heard you're a good friend of my uncle Taro. Why did you betray the Land of Light?!"

Compared to Torregia's gentle demeanor, Zero immediately launched into a barrage of questions.

After all, he is still very young, and so far he has not suffered too many setbacks, nor has he had as much experience as in the original story.

"I have not betrayed the Kingdom of Light, or rather, I have never been loyal to the Kingdom of Light."

Torregia sneered, "In my pathetic homeland, no one has ever cared about someone like me with slightly less talent. They claim to be fair and just, but in reality, they still divide people into Silver, Red, and Blue races!"

"Those who are physically weak must take a position in the Science and Technology Bureau; those who are strong but not very bright can enter the Space Garrison and enjoy the cheers of the crowd and the best resources."

"The Silver Clan are born rulers. They are born with the best resources and education, and possess innate strength and intelligence. After graduation, they will inevitably become leaders in various departments."

"Tell me, is this fair?"

Tregear looked at Zero, and before Zero could answer, he roared at himself.

"This isn't it!"

"This is completely unfair!"

After his roar, Torregia seemed to have vented his emotions and calmed down again.

He took a deep breath and said, "I've discovered another place, a great empire with true fairness!"

"Everyone here starts from the same point, has the same bloodline, the power of magic flows in everyone's body, and the power of gene upgrade is constantly surging in everyone's body."

"With hard work, you can improve and rise to new heights without limit. Everyone has the right to choose!"

"Whether they acquire greater power, delve deeper into technology, or settle down to live a peaceful life as ordinary people, the choice is entirely in their own hands!"

"This is the empire we've always dreamed of! A true ideal state that surpasses even the Land of Light! Perhaps it's not perfect now, but in the future, it will surely become the only one of its kind in the entire multiverse!"

Torregia spoke with extreme excitement, reaching out to Zero and saying in a highly persuasive tone, "How about it? Want to join us and create a brand new future together!"

Zero looked at Tregear. Every word from the Tregear family carried a strange magic, and just listening to it made Zero's heart tremble.

But Zero quickly discovered the problem.

He waved his hand forcefully, unleashing a powerful surge that completely isolated the influence from Toregia, thus preventing any possibility of internal strife within the expeditionary force.

He pointed at Toregia and shouted sternly, "Stop spreading alarmist rumors, Toregia!"

"I will take you back for trial. Surrender now!" (End of Chapter)
