Ultraman: The Dark Shadow Mage, Creating a Magic Empire

Chapter 2: Civilization Building! A Fantasy Route!

[The Civilization Creation System has been activated! Synchronizing civilization data...]

[The host can choose their own civilization development path. Confirming the path will grant a free bloodline upgrade and a corresponding development progress bonus!]

[Note: Development paths can be changed. Each change will reset any unfinished development tasks from the previous path, while existing abilities, bloodlines, and power will remain unchanged!]

Data synchronization complete!

As the electronic voice announced this, Norman, who had been sitting upright, suddenly felt a powerful force surging out from within his body.

The civilization data synchronization mentioned in this system refers to synchronizing Norman's own strength with the total strength of the entire civilization.

The stronger the civilization, the stronger he becomes!

Of course, as a medieval civilization, the combined population of the Black Kingdom of thirty million people certainly turned Norman into Superman, but it did not make him a cosmic-level being; he only reached the surface level.

Choose a civilization type...

Norman remained expressionless, but he began to communicate with the system in his mind.

[Selectable routes: 1. Technology, 2. Fantasy, 3. Cultivation, 4. Mutant]

Four routes...

Norman lowered his head in thought. First of all, variants and cultivation methods could be ruled out.

A mutant civilization should refer to a civilization with mutants or superpowers.

If the sun were still shining, it would be worth considering, given its excellent compatibility with the system's synchronization capabilities.

Imagine if a newborn suddenly mutated into a multiverse-level Omega mutant, wouldn't he be able to soar to the heavens!

Unfortunately, his immediate priority is survival; the changes among mutants are too drastic, so that possibility can be ruled out for the time being.

Then there's the cultivation civilization, which is a reluctant rejection, since cultivation is a late-stage development path for civilizations, requiring hundreds or even thousands of years of cultivation time, which Norman simply cannot afford right now.

Like I said, he needs to survive now!

Then there's the technology and fantasy route.

To be honest, compared to the other two, the mutant civilization path is really just a sideshow.

Whether it's science and technology, fantasy, or cultivation, they are all general categories, with mutants being a subordinate subcategory, making them completely incomparable.

The two options left Norman torn.

Now that it's confirmed that this is the Ultraman universe, the technological route is the best option.

Because whether it's Ultraman from the Land of Light or the golden statue of Absolut, they all relied on technology and some minor accidents to create the ultimate energy that can replace the sun.

I can completely replicate their path and become another "light" in the universe.

But the problem is...

When they faced the crisis of the sun going out, they were already at the astronautical level, or even a higher level of civilization!

Others have created the Plasma Spark Tower, while the Eldura Tower is just one step away from being completed.

Let the Black Kingdom, still in the Middle Ages, build it...

That's no different from primitive humans making atomic bombs!

So, is gambling the only option?

Norman looked at the fantasy route. Although he had been here for a long time, he constantly reviewed the knowledge he had learned in his previous life and had not forgotten anything.

He knew that his planet was a little farther from the stars than the Earth was from the Sun.

So normal temperatures differ somewhat from those of the four seasons, but actually not by much.

After the sun disappears, the last ray of light will vanish in 8 minutes and 40 seconds, plunging the Earth into darkness.

That's still the case today.

A week after the starlight disappears, the plants will completely stop photosynthesis, cease producing oxygen, and gradually die and disappear.

About a month later, the surface temperature will plummet to around -10 degrees Celsius, and it will continue to drop!

These two points alone are enough to bring an end to the life of their medieval civilization!

Of course, a month is still too long. I believe that in less than a week, those people will descend into madness due to the endless darkness, begin to kill each other, and cause chaos...

Therefore, Norman actually had less than a week left to save this civilization!

In a single week, we journey from the Middle Ages to a spacefaring civilization, then to a top-tier civilization researching nuclear fusion in the sun, and even to light that transcends our time—

Arabian Nights!

Even a system can't do this much, let alone his system which only gives buffs and nothing else!

A week is a week, and mutants are at the mercy of fate, but fantasy is not!

Don't forget, cosmic magic also exists in the Ultra Universe!

Furthermore, the system will also upgrade your bloodline!

Choose the fantasy route!

[Civilization path selected! Selecting bloodline upgrade...]

……

Inside the council chamber.

Seeing that their king remained silent, the ministers took a deep breath and tried to offer a solution.

Everyone chimed in with their own comments, and finally looked towards the few scientists in the corner who had remained silent.

In the past few years, scientists have successfully produced steel using the advanced forging techniques taught to them by Norman, and then created advanced armor such as fish scale armor.

In agriculture, grain production doubled within a year!

It has also made progress in the industrial sector, and has already reached the first small hurdle of the industrial age.

Therefore, the ministers respected Norman. A king who was both civil and military was someone they needed and admired!

And they also care a lot about these scientists.

"Lord Allen, do you have any ideas?"

Allen, Director of the Science and Technology Agency, was a pioneering scientist who, under Norman's leadership, would be remembered in history.

When the crowd asked him questions, he was calculating something with three section chiefs from the Science and Technology Bureau.

Strangely enough, just as he was looking through the documents, a sudden inspiration struck him. He compared the special runes and energy in a long-ago ruin and made some peculiar discoveries.

Meanwhile, the section chiefs nearby were busy with the calculations and completely ignored the ministers' questions.

Just then, hurried footsteps came from outside the door.

"Report! That monster we saw earlier, it's heading towards the Black Throne!"

"What!?"

"Quickly! Issue a city-wide alert, move into underground shelters, activate the red cannons, and prepare to resist the enemy!"

General Caitlin Rowe was the first to react, quickly issuing orders before looking at Norman on the throne.

"Your Majesty! Please go to the underground shelter!"

Caitlin Rowe, Norman's cousin from another time, is of distant blood, but is one of the few capable members of the royal family.

He was taken in and mentored by Norman, and through his talent and military achievements, he gradually became one of the five great generals of the Black Kingdom.

"No need, I'll handle this monster."

Norman looked up and smiled at everyone.

In the instant Norman laughed, Caitlin, who was closest to him, saw two sharp fangs protruding from Norman's mouth...
