Ultraman: The Dark Shadow Mage, Creating a Magic Empire

Chapter 40 The Age of Magical Atomic Energy! Dragon Swarm

"Watch your work. Remember, magic can be integrated with technology!"

"Magic is also a form of energy, and energy contains particles! We firmly believe that while magic can create miracles, we must also find the most basic particles within magic."

"By manipulating those most basic particles, you can control magic at will!"

In the magic academy, a professor is lecturing to the students below the stage.

With magic and technology advancing in tandem, there is now a trend towards their merging.

Some theories are not only useful in the scientific field, but can also be applied in the magical field.

Looking at these questions and the professor's explanations, the students began to try casting their own spells.

This is an upgraded version of basic magic that these graduating students must learn. Only by learning this magic can they extract magic power from particles in the universe!

"I did it!"

A student shouted excitedly.

With a casual wave of his hand, a small-scale explosion suddenly occurred inside the particle box in front of him, and a large amount of magic power erupted out.

That's a reaction that only occurs when some energy is successfully extracted from the molecule!

He really succeeded!

"Great! Everyone keep trying!"

After several attempts, the other students also successfully extracted the magic from the particles.

After class, everyone happily said goodbye to the professor, and after a short rest, they rushed off to the next class.

The professor happily bid farewell to the students, recording every detail of the class.

This is not only about teaching students new skills and magic, but also about supplementing and improving various data.

Of course, everything is done on the premise of ensuring safety.

They had already achieved perfect control over this magic, and bringing it to the classroom to collect data was simply to complete their research on the differences.

"Morton, this stable data fills the last gap in our understanding of the relationship between individual differences and particle stripping magic! We've succeeded! We can begin the press conference now!"

"It's all thanks to His Majesty. If His Majesty hadn't suggested it, we wouldn't have thought of this teaching method. As for the press conference... I'll be there right away."

The person who just gave the lecture was Morton, the vice dean of the magic academy.

Even now that he has been promoted to dean, become a fifth-level archmage, helped Norman create sixth-level magic, and received the title of "archmage," he still enjoys coming to teach students.

This is his original aspiration and the purpose of his studies.

And now, this original aspiration will bring him an achievement worthy of being recorded on the Magic Monument!

Morton put away the report, still feeling somewhat guilty towards the students.

Although there was no danger whatsoever, he still felt somewhat guilty about having his students passively participate in the research.

"Sigh, I'll have to ask His Majesty to add the students' names to the participation side page."

Morton straightened his appearance, then took a deep breath and strode towards the press conference venue.

After rehearsals and preparations, everything is ready for the press conference.

When the lights came on the second day, everyone throughout the Shadow Empire simultaneously saw the press conference for Morton's Atomic Magic playing on the giant screen in front of them.

With the birth of "atomic magic", the Science and Technology Bureau on the other side also successfully researched nuclear fission energy using atomic magic!

The emergence of these two key technologies heralded the arrival of the atomic energy era!

……

[Ding! Congratulations, host! Your civilization has entered a new era!]

[Current Era: The Age of Magical Atomic Energy!]

[Received the Era's Reward: Personal Ability - God of Magic!]

Norman, seated on the throne, opened his eyes and nodded slightly after seeing the system's notification.

Ten years have passed since the last time merits were awarded.

Over the course of ten years, Norman, adapting to the times, declared himself emperor, renamed the country the Shadow Empire, and expanded its territory not only to include the five planets but also the star systems in which they reside!

This is because there are more fifth-tier mages.

A fifth-tier mage already possesses the ability to fly to outer space and explore beyond the Earth.

It's just that I don't have enough magic power to go too far.

But this was nothing to Norman. Norman, along with the professors from the magic academy, was researching how to extract magic from molecules and atoms in a vacuum environment.

It was a great success. After developing the extraction magic, the Shadow Empire began its exploration of its home star system.

In addition, due to the uniqueness of their bloodline, the Shadow Empire can colonize and develop even on desolate planets!

Coupled with its large population, the Shadow Empire experienced explosive growth.

In just ten years, we entered the atomic age, and even before these announcements were made, the general public had already moved towards the information age.

I believe that in just a few years, the entire Shadow Empire will be able to enter the information age and begin to develop space technology using magic and science.

"It's time to go for a walk."

Norman stood up, and Caitlin, who had been serving him, immediately followed suit.

When Norman moved, time, which had seemed to stand still, began to flow again. Katarina, who had been sitting not far away reading a book, also looked up.

"After all these years, are you used to living here?"

"Hehe, it's just about eating and drinking well."

"Really? Then go outside for a walk and find something you want to do."

Norman said this and strode out.

As Katarina watched Norman's retreating figure, a sense of powerlessness rose within her.

She has been captured by Alexander for ten years.

Alexander offered her to Norman, who did not refuse, but never touched her.

Apart from restricting her freedom and limiting her to activities within the palace, there were truly no other restrictions.

Not only was she allowed to attend court and participate in government affairs, but she could also contact her old friends, read whatever books she wanted, and even learn magic.

At first, she tried to resist, but she found that as time went on, some people who had previously respected her gradually stopped contacting her.

They didn't die; rather, they realized the gap between the two sides and all turned their attention to the Shadow Empire!

After that, she gave up and stopped resisting, thinking that she might grow old and die here.

But now, Norman has actually allowed himself to go out!

But what can I do if I go out now...?

……

Norman led Caitlin deep into the Earth's core.

Here you'll find not only snow-capped mountains, large lakes, and forests, but also a huge lava lake!

"Boom!"

When Norman arrived, a tremendous sound erupted from all these places.

Then one by one, dragons emerged from the crowd, came before Norman, and prostrated themselves before him, kneeling in worship.

These dragons are the five-colored dragons that Norman has been training over the past forty years!
