Ultraman: The Dark Shadow Mage, Creating a Magic Empire

Chapter 85 Settlement, Powerful Dimensional Magic

"This is?"

Noldok, who is presiding over the new era's sacrificial rites, felt the changes immediately.

He was surrounded by a group of tree people, including not only the original Shadow Tree People and Emerald Tree People, but also three newly born tree people.

Golden Treant, Twisted Treant, and Frost Treant.

These three types of tree-people were born from the Emerald Tree-people through their unique reproductive methods after the latter learned the corresponding magic.

Golden Treants possess incredibly strong bodies, with the most skilled among them mastering gigantism, enabling them to fight beyond their level and remain undefeated against enemies several times stronger than themselves!

Twisted Tree Spirits are a species that Norman pays attention to. They are born with the ability to slightly distort time and are among the few species in the Shadow Empire that can master time magic at birth!

The Frost Tree Spirit is relatively ordinary, at least compared to the former.

Their ice and snow magic is very powerful, and they are species capable of transforming an area into a snowy realm.

Amidst the wave of gigantification across the Shadow Empire, the Treants' evolutionary speed is evident.

The first to change were the treants who were powerful enough, those who surrounded Noldor and offered incense to him electronically.

Then there are the sparsely populated Golden Treants, followed by the Twisted Treants, and then the Shadow Treants, Emerald Treants, and Frost Treants.

"Gigantification! This is the new era His Majesty spoke of!"

Nordok shouted, "Blessed is Your Majesty!"

"Bravour, Your Majesty!"

His voice resounded throughout the entire Shadow Star, and even the merfolk in the sea joined in, praising Norman's greatness with their beautiful singing voices.

……

The same thing happened on Landon, Doron, and Dwarf Star.

However, there are some special cases.

The races mentioned above declined due to war, but through thousands of years of teaching, they gradually evolved back and became part of the empire.

However, during their evolution, these demonic apes did not choose to grow to enormous size, but rather to become energy.

They became pure energy life forms, composed of pure darkness, shadow, and other elements, much like the race of light.

Another special case is the Zerg on the Dwarf Star.

The Zerg simultaneously chose to grow gigantic and become energy-rich, each one fearless and existing entirely for Norman!

They are the true elite of the Shadow Empire's army, a special force that has completed the formation of a collective ideology.

It's just that because they are so special, they have never entered the battlefield, but have been quietly developing in remote star systems.

The wave of enlargement and energy generation continues.

Norman no longer needed to worry about these things. With the strong leaders from various races leading the way and the system's support, there was no way for them to cause any trouble.

Norman's earlier warning was simply out of concern that they might not be able to control the situation and cause too much damage.

……

the other side.

Norman returned to the palace, went straight to his secluded chamber, and then opened the system after a long absence.

[Ding! Your civilization has entered a new era—the Era of Infinite Evolution!]

[Reward Received: Dimensional Magic!]

……

[Ding! Your civilization has absorbed a new race—the Race of Light!]

[Reward Obtained: Dark Clan Bloodline!]

……

[Ding! Your civilization has simultaneously entered the Interstellar Empire Era!]

[Reward: High-Dimensional Leap Technology!]

……

"Great stuff, these are all good stuff."

Norman smiled as he looked at the rewards from the system.

The Dark Clan bloodline, as the name suggests, is a bloodline power that is the opposite of the Light Clan.

Similar to the Alien Empera, but closer to the Juda siblings.

This bloodline has now been incorporated into the Shadow Empire. Norman will only need to wait for the next batch of babies born after being enlarged and energized before he can see the true potential of the Dark Clan's bloodline.

As for high-dimensional jump technology, to be honest, when Norman saw this technology, he thought of Warhammer.

The human empire in that story failed to develop normal sublight travel and warp drives, focusing instead on the warp without fully exploring and understanding it, which led to a series of tragedies.

Norman is now facing the same problem.

High-dimensional jump technology can help the Shadow Empire's army travel rapidly in large numbers in high-dimensional space, and even directly jump across parallel universes!

The problem is that this technology will leave behind "traces" in high-dimensional space that are just as obvious as those of a warp drive, or rather, permanent "pipelines".

This will facilitate the next round trip, but it will also allow beings in higher-dimensional spaces to better locate the Shadow Empire!

Therefore, before developing higher-dimensional spaces, this technology may have to be shelved...

Finally, there's dimensional magic, which is the strongest and best reward we received this time!

Because this kind of magic can directly affect higher-dimensional spaces!

Dimensional magic is different from spatial magic.

Spatial magic operates on the primary material world, that is, the space within the larger universe.

Dimensional magic, however, cannot interfere with the material world, but it can perceive the spiritual world, higher-dimensional worlds, and other higher-dimensional, lower-dimensional, and microscopic worlds.

for example.

Using spatial magic in the material world allows one to easily cut open a space and perform spatial folding, penetration, and other effects.

However, in higher-dimensional spaces, effective interference becomes impossible due to the difference in dimensions.

In other words, spatial magic can only interfere with three-dimensional space; it is a product of three-dimensional space.

Dimensional magic, on the other hand, involves altering dimensions!

Dimensional magic does not interfere with three-dimensional space, but it can cause ripples on a two-dimensional surface, creating "spots" and "wrinkles" on that surface.

It can also make a one-dimensional line fluctuate, fold and bend, and change its trajectory!

It can also cause four-dimensional spacetime to be distorted and deformed, or even tear open cracks in four-dimensional space, turning four-dimensional space into a circle, or simply pull four-dimensional space down to a lower dimension!

In special higher-dimensional spaces, dimensional magic can do even more!

The simplest way is that Norman could directly emulate the Emperor and the Old Ones of Warhammer, creating "pipelines" belonging to the Shadow Empire in a higher-dimensional space!

It can alter higher-dimensional space!

Instead of slicing it like spatial magic, it modifies it directly on the spot!

Because these conduits are made of dimensional magic, beings in higher dimensions must learn dimensional magic to cross them.

However, dimensional magic originated in the three-dimensional world, and only creatures in the three-dimensional world can learn it, so creatures in higher-dimensional spaces cannot learn it.

Even if they descend through bewitching or possession, it won't work!

Unless it is willing to give up its identity and power as a higher-dimensional being, at the cost of never being able to return!

And that's where the paradox comes in.

If you can't go back to your roots, what's the point of learning it?

Higher-dimensional space is not a three-dimensional space that can be decorated at will; it is a place with its own will!

After Norman finished reading it, he shelved the dimensional magic.

This is something that perhaps only I can learn...
