Chapter 390: Clow Reed's Secret (First Update)
Chapter 390: Clow Reed's Secret (First Update)
"Carmen the Mage, you’re not from this world, are you!"
Suzuaki Elio, wearing glasses, said with a smile after Jerry appeared, causing Jerry to be greatly alarmed.
"Why do you say that?"
Jerry maintained a calm exterior, neither confirming nor denying, and instead countered with a question.
Elio didn’t seem to mind and continued to smile.
"If you were from this world, I wouldn’t have failed to see your existence in Clow Reed’s prophecies!"
Elio knew that the other party might be very strong, perhaps even on par with him, and could use some magic to avoid being foreseen by Tsukimori or himself. However, it was impossible to escape the prophecies of the previous Clow Reed.
The previous Clow Reed’s power was on a completely different level from theirs.
The only way to avoid being foreseen was if the other party wasn’t from this world but from another.
"Sure enough, people who wear glasses always seem so devious!"
Seeing Elio’s constant smile, Jerry couldn’t help but think. After some consideration, he finally replied:
"Indeed, I am from another world!"
He wasn’t sure if Elio’s statement about him not being from this world was a genuine insight into his origin from the Marvel world or if there were other possibilities.
He found it hard to believe that Elio had truly discerned his origin from the Marvel world, as even the Ancient One hadn’t detected his ability to travel to other mini worlds or his Panel.
Elio, though strong, couldn’t possibly be stronger than the Ancient One. If it were Clow Reed himself, there might be a slight possibility.
He speculated whether Elio’s reference to another world might have some other meaning, similar to the concept of the multiverse in the Marvel world. Perhaps there was a similar concept here.
So, he gave a definite answer but avoided specifics, wanting to see Elio’s reaction.
Elio wasn’t surprised by Jerry’s response; it was clear he had already concluded that Jerry must be from another world. However, there was a hint of curiosity in his tone:
"Are you from Cephiro, Japan, Thresia, Tokyo, the Hanshin Republic, Korea, Emerald Country, Sakura Capital, Shura, Piffle, Le Croix, or Infinite City?"
"Each of these represents a world?"
Jerry’s eyes widened as he heard Elio list the names of the countries.
Elio, noting Jerry’s reaction, said with some surprise:
"Yes, these are all different worlds, which we call ‘dreams.’ It seems you are not from any of these worlds, so it looks like Clow Reed has yet to discover many more!"
"Well, I’m indeed not from any of the worlds you mentioned. In fact, I ended up here by accident. Have you been to all these worlds?"
Jerry replied half-truthfully, then shifted his gaze and continued with a counter-question.
In his memory, the story of Cardcaptor Sakura never mentioned these details. So, when he realized that this mini world was connected to so many others, he was quite taken aback.
Elio shook his head:
"I haven’t been to any of them, and I have no desire to. These worlds were discovered by Clow Reed. Although I inherited his memories and magic power, I am not him."
I love this world and don't want to leave it, just like he did, to go to those other worlds. That's what he wanted to see."
Although Elio and Tomoyo Daidouji are both reincarnations of Clow Reed, they are not Clow Reed, even though Elio inherited Clow's memories and magic power.
"Are you saying Clow Reed didn't die?"
Jerry immediately picked up on the key point from Elio's response and widened his eyes.
Elio resumed his cheerful expression:
"You can consider him dead in this world!"
"What do you mean?"
Jerry raised an eyebrow.
He remembered from the anime that Clow Reed did indeed die, only to be reborn as Elio and Tomoyo Daidouji.
However, now that he thought about it, if Clow Reed had reached the point of researching and creating worlds, it was unlikely that he hadn't broken through the boundaries of Eternal Life. After all, even the creatures he created, Kero and Yue, were immortal.
Elio slowly explained:
"Back then, he had to leave this world due to certain matters. To avoid any regrets and to ensure that the Clow Cards and the guardian creatures he created had a good home, he used special magic to reincarnate as Tomoyo Daidouji and me before leaving.
Tomoyo fulfilled his wish to live a normal life, marry, and have children, while I inherited his memories and magic power to assist Sakura in inheriting the Clow Cards and transforming them into Sakura Cards."
"Why are you willing to tell me all these secrets?"
Hearing Elio's explanation, Jerry finally understood the whole situation.
However, what made him even more curious was why Elio was willing to share all these important secrets with him.
Elio looked at Jerry and smiled warmly:
"Because your magic strength is very powerful, because of your actions since you came to this world, and because I have seen some promising futures.
So, I am willing to tell you these secrets to avoid any misunderstandings, and I hope you will help me assist Sakura in quickly converting all the Clow Cards."
"Perhaps there's also a warning in there!"
Jerry thought to himself.
He felt that Elio telling him Clow Reed was still alive wasn't without a warning. If he dared to cause trouble in this world, Elio might have a way to contact Clow Reed.
"I have no interest in power, money, or beauty. My greatest passion is researching magic and uncovering its mysteries. Sakura lent me the Clow Cards for research, so of course, I will continue to help her!"
Jerry immediately expressed his stance.
Elio trusted Jerry's statement, as the latter had indeed spent most of his time in this world studying and researching magic.
Moreover, with Jerry's current level of magic, if he really wanted power, money, or beauty, it wouldn't be that difficult to obtain.
"I inherited Clow Reed's memories and magic power, and I have all his magic books. If you're interested, feel free to come and discuss with me."
Elio didn't have the same level of passion for magic as Jerry.
He was born with Clow Reed's memories and magic power, immediately becoming the most powerful Mage in this world and leading the entire European magic community at a young age.
From Clow Reed's memories, he saw a life of solitude and missed opportunities due to the relentless pursuit of magic.
