Ultraman: The Dark Shadow Mage, Creating a Magic Empire

Chapter 75 Are you looking for me?

"Oh?"

Quidok gave a surprised look and laughed, "Old friend, that's not very fair of you, trying to test me."

"There was no probing."

Belial shook his head sheepishly, sat down on the sofa specially designed for Ultraman, and said somewhat dejectedly, "I need power..."

"Ken, he's getting stronger and stronger."

"I just had a match with him, and I lost, I lost completely."

As Beria spoke, he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart.

"but……"

"They support Ken because he is the strongest person in the entire Land of Light, second only to the King of Ultra!"

"They need Ken's immense strength to protect the Land of Light, and that's why they've all ignored my contributions! Even Mary—basically, all of this happened because I'm no match for Ken!"

"If I also possessed the power to unleash even greater potential, I know I could too! I could become the captain of the Space Garrison!"

"So, my old friend, can I trust you?"

Belial looked at Quidok with unusual rage in his eyes, as if he would transform into a beast and tear Quidok to pieces if Quidok uttered a single "no".

"Of course, my friend." Quiddock said firmly without the slightest hesitation, "You can trust me, after all, you are the first person from the Land of Light I have ever met."

"Besides, I find you more pleasing to the eye. Compared to that Jian, your straightforward personality is more suitable for us Baltans."

"Is that so? Then can you help me obtain the power of darkness?" Belial asked.

"Excuse my boldness, may I ask why you are so determined to obtain the power of darkness?" Quiddock countered.

"because……"

Belial hesitated for a moment before speaking, "After Ken and Emperor Alien's battle, I witnessed another fight—a being wielding dark power was actually able to arm-wrestle with the King of Ultra!"

"Perhaps, it's not just the power of light; the power of darkness might also be usable, and it might even be more powerful than the power of light."

"Yes, although I'm not good at fighting, and I don't like fighting, the power of darkness is indeed very strong. If you really want to seek the power of darkness..."

Quidok suddenly stopped speaking.

This was certainly whetting Belial's appetite, making him somewhat impatient.

"Say it then!"

Quiddock hesitated for a moment, then said vaguely, "I just heard a rumor... Legend has it that 300 light-years away in the M78 Nebula, there is an Evil King, who is also the controller of darkness and possesses power surpassing that of the Empera aliens."

"I just don't know if it's true..."

"Tell me the coordinates, and I'll owe you a favor," Belial said after a moment of silence.

"Well... alright, my friend, be careful and stay safe." Quiddock hesitated for a moment, then sent a coordinate to Belial.

"Thanks."

Belial confirmed the coordinates, then got up and flew directly towards the location.

Watching Belial's departing figure, Guidok, through the power of his bloodline, took the initiative to contact his emperor and inform him of the success of the plan.

After receiving a reply, Guidok smiled.

"My friend, I'm waiting for you to join me~"

……

In a region of stars 300 light-years away from the M78 Nebula.

This is a dark star field.

This star field is not filled with dark energy, but rather because it is too "aged," causing the stars within to dim, or because of excessive dust, or the presence of some kind of "light-absorbing" substance, which slows down and obstructs the propagation of light, resulting in lower brightness.

After entering this star system, Belial clearly felt his power weakening.

The power of light is suppressed in this star field!

Furthermore, this solitary journey made Belial realize the limitations of "light".

Within the Land of Light, these Ultra Warriors of the Light Clan are able to receive constant replenishment from the Plasma Spark Tower, even from great distances.

Previously, when fighting far from the M78 Nebula, they would carry Ultra Bracelets with Plasma Spark Tower energy, or have nearby ships carrying energy, so they could replenish their energy at any time.

At that time, the limitations of the power of light were not so obvious.

But after leaving those places, Belial discovered that most of the universe was completely dark!

Darkness, it really is the power I've been seeking!

Belial was overjoyed and began searching for the "Evil King" that Guidok had mentioned.

Although the name sounded wicked, Belial had a feeling that the other party might not be as evil as the name suggested.

After all, even someone like Quidok, who dislikes war, didn't speak ill of the other party, so it's foreseeable that the other party is definitely not a warmonger like the Alien Empera.

"Where exactly is it..." Belial was somewhat agitated, flying around in search of the so-called "Evil King".

……

Norman stood on a white dwarf star, watching Belial fly around him.

The gravity of a white dwarf is so strong that even an Ultra Warrior, who is made of light, would have almost no chance of escaping if he fell into it!

Norman, however, can use magic to open portals and escape the gravity of the white dwarf by leaping into higher dimensions. He can also use magic circles to alter the white dwarf, turning it into a habitable planet.

Belial felt that darkness was powerful because of the existence of Norman and the Shadow Empire.

The forces of light and darkness are in balance; when light becomes stronger, darkness becomes weaker, and vice versa.

According to the original trend, after the defeat of Alien Empera, the light in the universe should have become stronger.

However, because of the existence of Norman and the Shadow Empire, the power of darkness was not weakened. On the contrary, because the darkness of Norman and his people did not have any additional properties, it became even purer!

The power of darkness has not weakened; on the contrary, it is slightly stronger than the power of light!

That's why Belial felt the darkness was stronger after entering the dark area!

Are you looking for me?

Seeing that Belial's energy was about to run out, Norman spoke, transmitting his voice into Belial's mind through telepathy.

Beria quickly stopped, spun around in place, and finally saw Norman dressed in a black robe.

A sword hangs at his waist, a greatsword is slung across his back, and a staff floats beside him... That's right! It was this guy back then!

"Are you the one who fought against the King of Ultra back then? Evil King?" Belial asked.

"Evil King is indeed one of my titles. As for the battle with Ultraman King back then, I wanted to save Alien Empera, but it's very likely that he stopped me," Norman said casually.

"Very good!"

Belial was overjoyed, and then asked, "Can you give me the power of darkness? I need power!"
