Ultraman: The Dark Shadow Mage, Creating a Magic Empire

Chapter 68 Belial: I felt betrayed...

Ken led the Quiddock and Baltan merchant delegation to the embassy of the Land of Light, which was one of the better-preserved places in the area.

At Ken's urging, the council of the Land of Light agreed to repay the debt, so they cleaned up the area, which saved some face for the Land of Light...

If the Land of Light cares.

"Mr. Guidok, please rest here for now. I will go and get the account books and transport the necessary supplies to the port."

Thank you for your trouble.

Quidok smiled and nodded. This step didn't require much work; all they had to do was wait.

Jian nodded, turned and walked out of the hall before taking off and flying into the sky.

He took care of some business first before coming to the parliament.

He had just received a message that the parliament had come up with a matter that required his attendance at the meeting.

After he left, Quiddock, who was preparing to rest, heard Norman's voice...

"Quidok".

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

Quidok was startled, then realized that it was his own emperor contacting him through the power of blood.

When Quiddock responded, Norman's phantom appeared in his room, without any power and without attracting anyone's attention.

Even the King of Ultra couldn't possibly discover this.

Looking out the window, Norman laughed and said, "I once visited the Land of Light and exchanged blows with the King of Ultra. He was very strong, but I will be even stronger in the future."

"Let's not talk about that."

Norman turned to look at Quidok, who was kneeling on one knee with an expression of adoration.

"The scene of my battle with the King of Ultra was witnessed by a warrior from the Land of Light. Although I did not communicate with him, I could feel the strong desire in his heart."

"Take this seed of darkness to him, and when you meet him, you will naturally know who he is."

Norman vanished as he spoke, and Quiddock bowed respectfully, saying, "Respectfully seeing off Your Majesty!"

When Quiddock stood up again, he found that a tangible "seed" had indeed appeared in his hand.

The "seed" quickly disappeared, but he could still sense its presence.

"Perhaps we can make good use of a person from the Land of Light who harbors darkness in his heart."

Quidok's eyes darted around, and a plan immediately came to mind. Without resting, he took his men out for a stroll.

He could sense the location of the person with the dark seeds sprouting in their heart at all times, so Quidok simply walked and investigated, gradually getting closer to that direction.

……

On the other side of the building, Belial lured Mary out and said to her smugly, "Um, the council is discussing establishing a space garrison. With my contributions, it should be done soon... haha."

Beria chuckled, then scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "So, could you...?"

Beria spoke for a long time, but his words were always vague and ambiguous.

Mary, out of politeness, kept tilting her head to look at him, somewhat confused about what he was trying to say.

"Mary!"

Just then, Ken rushed over from the side, excitedly telling Mary, "The council's decision is in! They've decided to form a space garrison and appoint me as its first captain!"

"Really? That's great!"

Upon hearing this, Mary stepped forward with delight and approached Jian, who in turn opened his arms.

When Beria saw this scene and heard Ken's words, he felt dizzy and as if it were all unreal.

He opened his mouth, wanting to reach out, but in the end he realized that the two of them only had eyes for each other and didn't even glance at him!

He lowered his head, and finally couldn't help but turn around, his head snapping as he flew away from the Land of Light.

"Whoosh!"

Ken and Mary looked at each other, and just as they were about to hug each other, they felt a gust of wind.

Belial flew away!

"Beria? Is he here too?"

"Yeah, he just asked me to come here, but after he talked for a while, I still couldn't figure out what he was trying to say."

"Is that so? Then I'll go ask him again later."

Jian scratched his head and finally chose to win over the girl first, rather than his brother.

……

"hateful!"

Belial flew out of the Land of Light and arrived at an asteroid near the planet.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

"Thump!"

With a roar, he smashed a protruding mountain on the asteroid in front of him with brute force, then slammed it onto the other side, forming a new protrusion...

He looked back at the Land of Light, thinking of the battles of the past thousand years, and the battles of a thousand years ago...

He was originally stronger than Jian, as they were both members of the Silver Clan and started at the same point.

But the difference lies in the fact that during the evolution process, Ken's family awakened a peculiar power - the power of truth!

As they grow older and their will becomes stronger, their family bloodline awakens, causing the horns on their heads to grow larger and their power to increase more than tenfold!

It was precisely because he awakened his true power that Ken wielded the ultimate blade and defeated Alien Empera.

Although the war left permanent wounds, his strength did not weaken but instead became stronger. Jian's strength has now stabilized at the mid-stage of the super-large galaxy level.

Throughout this thousand-year battle, he has always been at the forefront, striving to achieve greater merit so that he can propose to the female Ultraman he loves.

He brought one great victory after another to the Land of Light.

Just looking at his accumulated achievements, he has already surpassed Jian's!

He had assumed that the council would choose him as the captain of the Space Garrison, which is why he mustered up the courage to confess his feelings to Mary.

But I never expected that my best friend would try to steal my woman!

Moreover, the council appointed Jian as the captain without even consulting him!

This made Belial feel betrayed, not only by the council, but even by his own good brother!

"Damn it! Why did this happen?!"

Belial roared in frustration, then slumped down, gazing at the Land of Light in the distance. Suddenly, he felt a slight sense of unfamiliarity with his former homeland…

"Isn't this Mr. Beria? Why is he sitting here?"

Just as Beria was at a loss for what to do, Guidok appeared not far from Beria with his delegation.

The members of the delegation were still surveying the asteroid, as if they were calculating something.

"What are you doing here?"

Although Belial was somewhat bewildered, he had not yet lost faith in the Land of Light, nor had he fallen into depravity. Therefore, he remained wary of the actions of Quidok and the others.

"We have the survey permits and want to build a branch of our trading company here to sell our goods."

Quidok walked up to Belial. His disguise as a Baltan alien was of average height, and standing in front of Belial, he looked like a person looking at a newborn kitten.

However, his own aura was not weak, and even Belial could not ignore him.

Quiddock looked towards the Land of Light, then suddenly turned back and asked:

"Hey, you were the one who came to us first, so why was it Jian who was the one contacting and making the handover?"

Beria: ?

Yes, why is that?
