Ultraman: The Dark Shadow Mage, Creating a Magic Empire

Chapter 54 Skinning and Disguise~

"Plant a nuclear bomb!"

"We need to keep lying to them until they've all come down before we leave."

Agreed!

……

"It's ridiculous that a civilization from a home planet would actually think of wiping us out with nuclear bombs."

"This should serve as a wake-up call for us. These aliens may not be like us. They wield the power of darkness and have also fallen into darkness."

The video showed footage from a hundred years ago, which amused all the exploration teams, but also served as a wake-up call for everyone.

They should observe from the shadows rather than actively approach and communicate with the other party.

Because not all civilizations are like them, starting with goodwill and with the aim of communication!

It was this experience that changed the mindset of the Shadow Empire people, causing them to begin cautiously exploring this dark forest.

At the same time, Norman also issued a new national policy, which was no longer to actively contact those at the confirmed level, but to focus on covert observation.

After the national policy was changed, the large number of exploration fleets that had been dispersed began to hide one by one, infiltrating the surface of the shadow plane and becoming ghosts in the endless deep space.

"Never mind those things, they'll become our puppets anyway."

"Yes, let's continue exploring."

The captains of the various exploration teams disconnected from communications and continued their respective exploration missions.

the other side.

Allen and Morton also began to study how to hide the entire area of ​​the five major star systems, spanning thirty light-years.

As time progressed, the positions of the five planets were also determined.

The distance between them is actually very close; the location of Shadow Star is exactly at the center of this star field.

Looking north from the horizon of Shadow Star, the Blue Galaxy is three light-years to the north, the Landon Galaxy is five light-years to the south, and the Dwarf Galaxy is seven light-years to the west.

Five light-years away from the Landon Galaxy is Doron, which is the outermost of the five major star systems.

Further out are more than thirty star systems, of which fifty-six are Earth-like planets, which is almost an average of two habitable Earth-like planets per star system!

This density is very abnormal, but considering that it was once a testing ground for cicadas and humans, it is not so strange.

At this point, these planets had already become the home of the Shadow Empire, so naturally the entire star cluster was within the scope of Hidden's consideration.

Concealing an entire star cluster would actually make it easier for people to discover it, so we need to think more about the issue of hiding.

Beyond hiding, their main research focuses on how to become "crayfish".

That is, to develop transformation or disguise magic.

……

Norman sat casually on a satellite of Baltan, with warships that had quietly gathered over the past century behind him.

Norman arrived here a hundred years ago, the very first time the place was discovered.

A century of observation gave Norman a deep understanding of the Baltans.

During this century of rapid development, the Baltan aliens not only developed advanced technology, but also evolved in the direction he remembered.

The lobster-like tissues on his face were gone, and the antenna-like organ on the top of his head had become a V-shaped fork, making his face smoother.

This was evolved and modified to make it easier for them to work.

After evolving, their abilities became even closer to those of the later Baltan aliens.

It possesses a red freezing ray, the ability to create physical clones that can coalesce and grow to enormous size, as well as the ability to become invisible, teleport, possess others, regenerate, fly, release white destructive light projectiles, and use telepathic abilities.

This comprehensive ability even surpasses that of ordinary citizens of the Shadow Empire!

In terms of combat strength, it's estimated that only magicians who have graduated from magic academies could fight them one-on-one.

But in this situation, who would still want to fight them one-on-one?

The entire population of Baltan was now gathered on their spaceship, and all they needed to do was launch a pinpoint attack on it.

"Go ahead, just leave half of them."

"Yes."

Augustine, as the general in charge of this expedition, immediately stepped forward and gave orders to the army.

With the order given, the fleet flew forward and surrounded the entire planet Baltan.

He then deactivated Shadow Stealth and, right in front of the Baltans, fired a magical projectile that accurately struck their ship's engine.

Then beams of magic descended, precisely locating and dismantling each of their buried nuclear bombs.

During this process, the Baltan aliens could only watch helplessly, and no matter how they pressed the detonator, it was to no avail!

By the time they came to their senses, the Shadow Empire's ground forces had already surrounded their spaceship with large magic arrays!

"Why, why are they so strong!"

"What should we do next?"

The Baltans remained silent; they were not yet the "Cosmic Ninjas" who would later roam the universe and become renowned.

Right now, they are just a homeworld civilization that follows a dark and unified path and has not yet ventured into the universe!

In this situation, according to their tradition, surrendering might be a good option...

"I propose we surrender."

"..."

"Agreed..."

"Agreed."

It was another unanimous vote, but this time, it wasn't a unanimous vote to attack the Shadow Empire, but a unanimous vote to surrender to the Shadow Empire.

The Baltans lined up to exit the spaceship.

Norman himself came down and sat to the side watching the "crayfish" surrender.

Every Baltan who surrenders will be marked with a enslavement mark, their soul and body will be locked, and they will be Norman's slave for all eternity!

After subjugating the Baltans, Norman instructed Augustine to hide the fleet.

The Shadow Empire members who arrived here all used illusion magic to first perform simple disguises.

After the disguise was completed, all the Shadow Empire people became high-ranking members of the Baltan aliens, while those who were enslaved by the enslavement magic appeared to be commoners but were actually slaves in secret.

Norman summoned Alati, the Minister of Works, whose name was similar to that of Aladdin, the Vice Minister of Works, but the two were unrelated.

"We need to develop a comprehensive plan. Let me first share my thoughts."

"The next step is to cultivate a special group of Baltans, make them our people, develop Baltan civilization, and follow a normal technological evolution path."

"The second step is to send out a fleet disguised as the Baltan fleet while Baltan is developing, to promote itself under the name of 'Baltan Trading Company' and do business with some homeworld civilizations."

"The third step is to send them there after the Baltan civilization has developed."

Alati wrote down everything Norman said and then added to the discussion.

Soon, a complete plan was completed and handed over to everyone, with tasks assigned in batches.

Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.

After the first phase of the mission was completed, Norman heard the system notification sound again...
