The True Power of the Clow Cards (Second Update)

"Oh, I see!"

Kero nodded repeatedly after listening, clearly believing Hawking's explanation.

It felt that what Hawking said made perfect sense. Who else but its creator, Clow Reed, could do such a thing, especially since it could indeed feel the contract between itself and Hawking.

This cannot be faked.

Of course, the most important thing is that Hawking treated it to so much delicious food on their first meeting, so how could it possibly be a bad person?

Meanwhile, Yue, sitting opposite Hawking, frowned deeply.

He's not Kero and easily fooled as Xiao Ke.

What Hawking said may sound reasonable, but there is no evidence to prove it; it's all just talk.

When Clow Reed disappeared, why did he go to find a second owner for the Clow Cards, or a temporary owner from another world?

Could it be that this wizard named Hawking used some special magic to steal Sakura's magic and replace Sakura?

Or perhaps there's some conspiracy involved.

However, even if he has some doubts now, he shouldn't take any other actions before finding out the truth.

"I hope what you're saying is true, otherwise even if you have a contract, you won't be able to fully unleash the power of the Clow Cards if we don't agree."

"I have no reason to lie to you, because with my power, the Clow Cards are of little help to me."

Hawking smiled upon hearing this, then his eyes transformed into the Rinnegan, releasing a powerful aura from his body. The terrifying pressure, akin to that of a god, caused Kero and Yue to stiffen instantly.

"What a terrifying feeling!"

At this moment, even when Kero and Yue were fully unleashing the power of the sun and moon within them, they felt as if Hawking could crush them like ants at any moment.

They're not even in the same league.

"Although the Clow Cards are nothing to me, I am still very interested in Clow Reed's magic, and I hope to become friends with you all."

"That way, you can take a look at the world first. In an hour, you'll know whether I've been lying to you or not."

Hawking waved his hand to remove the table in front of him, and then Apparition directly to the skies above New York with Kero and Yue Huanying.

Go and learn about this world.

As soon as he released Kero and Yue, Hawking vanished again, Apparition away.

It's hard to convince people by just talking; it's better to let them see and understand for themselves.

The world of Cardcaptor Sakura World is set in 1999, while this is in 2006; it's easy to tell that they are two different worlds.

Furthermore, the histories and development trajectories of the two worlds are quite different, and Mutants and Super Hero are things that do not exist in the Cardcaptor World.

And then there's Hero Alliance. Knowing about the Hero Alliance and the actions of the Super Hero in the Hero Alliance, and knowing the story of Stephen Hawking saving the world, I believe Kero and Yue's impression of him will greatly improve.

If they wait another hour and return to the Cardcaptor World to find Sakura safe and sound and everything normal, then there shouldn't be many problems.

"They actually let us leave so easily."

Seeing Hawking disappear, Yue had a thoughtful expression on her face. Then, she took Kero and disguised herself as an ordinary person to enter New York to gather information.

After leaving, Hawking did not return to the Adamantium Alloy Suitcase, but instead left Earth and went directly into outer space.

Having already acquired the Ōtsutsuki Bloodline, he was fully capable of surviving in space.

He had always had a theory about the Clow Cards, and now that he had them in his hands, he might as well test it out in outer space.

Hawking took out the Star Staff and the spellbook containing the Clow Cards again, a hint of hesitation appearing on his face.

Since he wanted to study Clow Reed's magic and verify his conjecture, he naturally had to try using the Clow Cards. However, the way he used the Clow Cards made him feel a little embarrassed.

"Never mind, no one will see it anyway."

Holding Sakura's Star Staff in his hand, he chanted the incantation based on Sakura's memories:

"Key that conceals the power of the stars, reveal your true power before me! Hawking made a pact with you, commands you: release the seal!"

As the incantation sounded, magic was injected into the Star Staff, originally shaped like a key, immediately returned to its normal size.

Draw the first card, "Model Worker Style," from the spellbook and point the Star Staff upwards:

"Come forth, wind!"

Suddenly, a mature-looking Wind Spirit sprite flew out of the Clow Cards and landed in front of Hawking.

She looked at Hawking with some curiosity, a hint of doubt on her face, but after sensing the contract between Hawking and the owner of the Clow Cards, she returned to normal.

"Interesting."

After experiencing the process of releasing the Wind Card using the Star Staff, Hawking astutely discovered that the Star Staff actually has a similar function to a magic wand.

He can help magicians better control and use magic, allowing magic to exert greater power.

In fact, if one has good enough control over magic, one can use the Clow Cards even without using the Star Staff as a medium.

No wonder Sakura later gave the Star Staff to her clone Sakura in Clow Country through a dream. Perhaps even without the Star Wand, Sakura could already skillfully use magic and Clow Cards at that time.

"Let's test my theory now!"

Hawking channeled his immense magical power into the Wind Spirit through the Star Staff, then pointed to a massive meteorite in the distance and commanded:

"Destroy it!"

Upon hearing Hawking's command, the Wind Spirit immediately transformed into a green whirlwind and swept towards the giant meteorite.

Upon impact, the massive meteorite shattered into fragments in less than three seconds.

"As expected, its power is much greater than I imagined!"

When Hawking saw the Wind Spirit destroy the meteorite, his eyes lit up.

As one of the four elements of Clow Cards, the Wind Card appears most frequently, but judging from its performance, its destructive power is not actually strong.

Or rather, all the Clow Cards are not as destructive as one might expect.

This made Hawking instinctively feel that the power of the Clow Cards was nothing more than that, just a little toy that Clow Reed casually made for his future daughter.

But upon closer reflection, it doesn't seem to be the case.

If it were just a small toy, Clow Reed wouldn't have needed to go to so much trouble, creating a whole host of problems and giving out various challenges.

In particular, the last card created because of the creation of the Clow Cards, "Nothing," could not be destroyed even by Clow Reed, and could only be sealed away.

Therefore, he guessed that perhaps the Clow Cards were not just toys that Clow Reed made for his future daughter, but rather the ultimate works that Clow Reed created before leaving this world, embodying all his magical knowledge.
