Ultraman: The Dark Shadow Mage, Creating a Magic Empire

Chapter 50 Super Large Magic Array

If you are unsure what to do, consult His Majesty.

This is an unwritten rule within the Shadow Empire, and it always works.

It's not just the problems in the military and the cabinet, but also in the courts, the civil government, the six ministries, the magic academy, the science and technology bureau, and even some ordinary people.

Any problem that cannot be solved by going up through the layers will eventually come to Norman.

Even ordinary people could ask Norman questions they didn't understand while he was around.

"Shall we give it a try?"

The group exchanged bewildered glances, finally turning to Alice, who had raised the question.

Alice rubbed her face and said helplessly, "Okay, I'll give it a try."

As Alice spoke, she took a deep breath and silently called out to Norman in her heart, while thinking about her own questions and conveying them to him.

And shortly after she began calling out, she received a response from Norman!

"A very good suggestion, I grant it."

"As for your concerns, I will construct a large magic array to lock up the star and instruct the Prime Minister to build a platform. However, you will have to overcome the construction and difficulties yourselves."

Are you confident?

Norman answered the questions immediately after hearing them.

All of this is accomplished through blood ties, through a form similar to prayer.

While replying to them, Norman was also simultaneously answering tens of thousands of questions.

Don't think it's outrageous.

This is the kind of ability a seventh-tier archmage of a galaxy level should possess.

Norman possessed the magic to handle affairs, categorizing, storing, and filtering the problems passed down through bloodlines.

This magic is essentially giving Norman a personal artificial intelligence.

After undergoing magical screening, Norman would answer certain questions. This was a way for him to spice up his training, as well as a means of nurturing younger generations and discovering talent.

Norman smiled and glanced at the young faces in the House of Commons.

"A great group of kids, don't you think?"

"Your Majesty is right."

"Don't try to evade the issue."

"There are still shortcomings. A heart full of passion alone is not enough to govern a country well. In particular, our blood always carries a yearning for bloodshed and negative emotions brought about by darkness. These are all destabilizing factors that disrupt stability."

Edward said, "But Your Majesty need not worry, I can guarantee that I can handle these children well."

"I think so too."

Norman smiled. "Go ahead, we'll have to do some of the basics."

As Norman spoke, he handed Edward a finished alchemical artifact, which was a magic circle he had just set up. The magic circle could be activated directly by using the alchemical array plate.

It sounds Chinese, but this method is indeed much more practical.

Yes, the main advantage is that this way you don't have to go out.

……

"Gentlemen, please follow me."

The person in charge of this construction was Aladdin, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Works, one of the six ministries.

This was an unremarkable man who had always been taciturn, but his eyes seemed to see right through people's hearts.

Edward handed over the alchemical artifacts Norman had given him, instructing him to lead the Ministry of Works to help Alice and the others build the Star Base Station.

"Before we go, I need to tell you that even if a star goes out and turns into stone, it still has a gravitational pull that surpasses that of a typical white dwarf. Its matter density is extremely high. If we go directly there, even if we don't die, we'll be crushed into a bloody pulp."

"Therefore, you must wear specially made magical protective clothing, made of dragon skin, inscribed with spatial and shadow magic, which allows you to connect with the shadow side of the universe and avoid the gravity of stars."

Aladdin gestured for the artisans from the Ministry of Works who had come with him to come forward and distribute the dragon skin protective clothing they had brought to everyone.

"Dragon skin? Is that so luxurious?"

Everyone was somewhat surprised to hear that it was dragon skin.

Alice spoke up to explain, "These are all hybrid earth dragons, very similar to the five-colored dragons, but they don't have the same lifespan or intelligence as the five-colored dragons. They're not much different from cattle and sheep."

"Your Highness is right. Dragons are our battle partners. The generals will be heartbroken for a long time if they lose one. These are all earth dragons."

Aladdin nodded. "Through the cultivation of the Civil Affairs Department, although these earth dragons still have not gained intelligence, their dragon scales, dragon blood, and dragon skin have grown significantly, making them comparable to the third-generation five-colored dragons."

After Aladdin finished explaining, he stopped talking and let everyone put on their protective suits on their own.

"Ready? Let's go."

Once everyone returned, Aladdin led them towards the prepared magical portal.

The moment they passed through the portal, everyone felt as if a shadow had been cast over them, similar to the feeling of casting a shadow barrier.

That was a blessing from the shadow side, protecting them from being torn apart and flattened by the gravity of the stars!

"This is the array plate that His Majesty instructed the Prime Minister to give me."

Aladdin took out the array plate and placed it directly in a pre-planned area ten kilometers away from the teleportation portal.

As Aladdin activated the array plate, the alchemical array plate, which originally looked only the size of a washbasin, instantly unfolded, transforming into strands of golden threads that enveloped the entire star.

These four golden lines fall down and then begin to connect and transform with each other.

Gradually, one rune array after another is formed, and finally, when they are all combined and activated, they become a super-large magic array that is powerful enough to lock up the entire star!

And the whole process took less than thirty seconds!

"Is this... Your Majesty's power?"

"How terrifying..."

"It spread across the entire planet in just thirty seconds—that's faster than the speed of light!"

One of the young men gaped, completely unprepared for the fact that his emperor possessed such power.

Aladdin and the others standing nearby were also surprised, but they just smiled and remained silent, looking inscrutable.

"Alright, Princess Alice, we will stand by here and assist you in developing this area. We will follow your instructions completely."

"Okay, let's begin!"

Alice and the others exclaimed excitedly.

Then, as if they had rehearsed countless times, they began to divide into groups, with professionals doing professional tasks.

First, we begin exploration, measuring the terrain, stability, pressure, and distribution of gravitational and magnetic fields...

After confirmation, materials are selected, corresponding magic runes are drawn, magic circles are constructed, blueprints are drawn, and then the Ministry of Works is handed over to begin construction.

While building it, they were also perfecting the internal structure and operating logic of the super magic tower.

Time began to flow, and they did this for more than ten years!

While they were working, the entire Shadow Empire was also making continuous progress. They would send people back in batches to update materials, learn new knowledge, and submit their research reports to the Science and Technology Bureau.

Soon, they entered a completely new era—

The Space Age!
