Among those who pursue the path of magic, strength matters more than age.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>George floated into position, facing Eriol Hiiragizawa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll be direct—something Miss Kazami didn't press you on. Why exactly are you doing all this? What is your true purpose?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir, that's a question I'm afraid I can't answer right now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eriol narrowed his eyes slightly, silently chanting a spell in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh key that holds the power of darkness, reveal your true strength. By our contract, I, Eriol, command you—Release the Seal!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A staff adorned with a solar motif appeared in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn't summoned George to reveal the secret of his reincarnation. On the contrary—he intended to personally erase part of George's memory, preventing him from digging any further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since inheriting Clow Reed's memories at birth, Eriol had carried a tremendous burden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the overwhelming magical power within him, which constantly caused him to foresee future events—visions he couldn't control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn't Clow Reed, and he didn't want to live as Clow Reed either. That's why he chose to honor Clow Reed's final wishes: to help Sakura inherit and fully master the Clow Cards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This way, he could use Sakura's power to transfer half his magical energy to his other reincarnation—Fujitaka.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he could return to being a normal magician, living a normal life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, if everything in the future is predetermined and can be seen in advance, what joy is left in life?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once all of this was over, he would reveal the truth to everyone—and restore the memories of this elder from the Li family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As expected of the classic bespectacled schemer... Looks like you never planned to tell me anything. But that suits me just fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>George wasn't surprised. He simply smiled and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Looks like this old man will have to experience for himself what the so-called strongest magician of the modern world can do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clow Reed had always been \"cunning and ruthless.\" Anyone who inherited his memories would hardly act any differently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the anime, to achieve his final objective, Eriol had even altered the memories of Kero and Yue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, the idea of erasing his memories rather than explaining things honestly was perfectly in line with his character.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, George wasn't worried. With all the research he had done on the Clow Cards and his current power level, he couldn't guarantee a victory against Eriol—but he was confident he could protect himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, even if Eriol did somehow manage to defeat him, there was no way he could erase or alter George's memories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because this body was merely one of George's many avatars. Across the multiverse, he had countless incarnations—and even his original self still existed in the Marvel universe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this avatar's memories were deleted, his main body could instantly restore them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, just like last time, he could even concentrate the souls of his other selves into this one, and with that powerful spiritual force, easily reflect memory-altering magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My apologies, sir.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eriol smiled politely—then unleashed time magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Time Freeze!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power of time spread over the entire park, freezing everything in place. Only Eriol remained unaffected as he floated slowly toward George.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he barely moved half a meter before stopping, shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You actually broke through it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Eriol, I'm afraid this level of time magic isn't enough to restrain me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A strange magic circle rose beneath George's feet, and the frozen time around him began flowing once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he had yet to fully master time magic and couldn't freeze an area like Eriol, his deep studies had brought him to the threshold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had researched Fairy Tail's Fairy Sphere, the time spells of the Ancient One, the Time-Turner from the Harry Potter universe, and even the Time and Return Cards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, he was just one step away from mastering time magic completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So breaking through Eriol Hiiragizawa's time freeze? That wasn't a big problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hungarian Mirror World!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a wave of his hand, a massive mirror appeared behind George.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There's not enough room here. If Mr. Eriol wishes to exchange spells, why not step into my mirror dimension and give it a try?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, George turned and calmly walked through the mirror into the mirrored world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems I underestimated this elder.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time, a flicker of interest crossed Eriol Hiiragizawa's usually calm expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Clow Reed's memories and immense magical power, his life had been practically cheat-coded. Before even reaching adulthood, he had already become the strongest magician in the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the top elder magicians of the Magic Association were, in his eyes, as weak as ants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, he had thought this elder from the Li family was on par with those old magicians—nothing more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, based on Clow Reed's memories, he knew every magic technique the Li family possessed. He should've been able to defeat the man with ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, it appeared he had been too complacent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, wasn't this kind of unpredictable, off-script situation exactly what he had been craving?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time in ages, he felt genuine excitement and curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holding his Sun Staff, Eriol walked into the mirror world without a shred of hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A mirrored space separated from reality, connected through a mirror medium... Quite an intriguing form of magic.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he entered the mirror world, Eriol instantly grasped the basic structure of the spell. After all, the Mirror Card Clow Reed had created worked on a similar principle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But instead of copying people or objects like the Mirror Card did, this spell duplicated the entire physical environment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Call upon the thunder!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Eriol enter the mirror dimension, George didn't waste time with words. He immediately opened with the Li family's thunder magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A torrent of terrifying lightning blasted toward Eriol.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shield!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eriol raised his staff, summoning a defensive spell that formed a barrier resembling a shield, blocking the lightning on impact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the moment the lightning clashed with his barrier, surprise flashed across his face again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This lightning magic... its power level seems off.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was intimately familiar with the strength of the Li family's thunder magic. He could cast it himself, and even if he did, it wouldn't have packed this much punch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed this Li family elder had taken thunder magic to an entirely new level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As expected of Clow Reed's reincarnation. Looks like thunder magic alone won't break that defense.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Eriol block his combined attack—enhanced through both psychic energy and magic—George evaluated the situation internally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eriol's magical shield didn't simply block spells; its mechanics resembled that of a law-based construct, like a magical principle or rule woven into reality. Breaking through such a defense wouldn't be easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shift!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a blink, Eriol teleported behind George, dodging the continued lightning strikes and launching a counterattack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shadow!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless shadows transformed into ropes and began to coil toward George's body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A magical shield might be strong defensively, but if one stayed in constant defense, it became difficult to counterattack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1186,"2026-06-10T06:47:12.819Z",1,"novelbin.me","295b1fb422fa6b8cda4b13bbb0033786a24eab56fdccdd8c59ba1ace87fa3374","marvel-s-master-of-heavenly-magic-chapter-430","marvel-s-master-of-heavenly-magic-chapter-428",918,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmarvel-s-master-of-heavenly-magic-cover.jpg"]
