The reason the destructive power wasn't strong was because the clow cards already had very little magic power left when they were being captured, so naturally, they couldn't exert much power.
And Sakura was just a magic novice at the very beginning, she had never systematically studied magic and didn't know how to use magic power.
When she used the clow cards, she didn't actually input much of her own magic power; it was probably mostly reliant on the remaining magic power of the clow cards themselves.
If Clow Reed himself were to use these clow cards, the destructive power would likely be vastly different.
Adam, however, was different; he was a mature Wizard, capable of skillfully controlling his own magic power.
When he first used the wind card, he didn't use the wind card's magic power but rather his own, which is why it had such immense power.
If he were on Earth, he could probably use the wind card to unleash a massive storm across an entire city.
"In that case, let's try this one."
After experimenting with the wind card in its normal state and indeed greatly enhancing its power, he then fused his magic power with Chakra, activating Magic God Mode.
"Go, Wind!"
He experimented with the wind card once more, and this time, the wind spirit swept through, instantly pulverizing a small asteroid belt, making Adam's eyes widen.
Clearly, as his magic power increased, the power of the wind card also received a corresponding boost.
What did this mean?
It meant that the clow cards were not only for research, nor were only a few special cards useful to him.
If other cards were used well, they would also be of great help to him in battle.
Moreover, they wouldn't fall behind as his strength increased; the stronger he became, the more powerful the clow cards would be.
"It seems these clow cards are truly extraordinary; perhaps they are indeed the concretization of the World's most fundamental laws, otherwise, they wouldn't have such an effect."
Putting away the wind card, Adam thought to himself.
"Continue!"
To more concretely verify and understand the effects of all the clow cards he could now unleash, he experimented with every single clow card, one by one.
As he expected, with his powerful magic power input, all the clow cards displayed magical effects beyond his expectations.
It wasn't until an hour later, when the Kinomoto Sakura template cooled down and all the clow cards disappeared, that he returned to school, still feeling a sense of unfulfillment.
"Perhaps I should find some time to visit Kamar-Taj."
To go to other protagonist template Worlds, he must learn the Dream Walking Technique, and to learn the Dream Walking Technique, he needs to obtain the darkhold.
Currently, he knew that a darkhold was stored in the Kamar-Taj library.
However, to get the darkhold from the Kamar-Taj library, he would inevitably have to get past the Ancient One.
If the Ancient One was willing to lend it, that would be great; if not, he might end up in a conflict with all of Kamar-Taj.
The other Wizards of Kamar-Taj were nothing in his eyes, but the Ancient One's strength made him very wary.
In terms of actual combat, he wasn't afraid of the Ancient One; the Ancient One could defeat Dimensional Demon Godss invading Earth, and the Sanctum Sanctorum played a significant role.
Generally, when Dimensional Demon Godss leave their own domain, their strength is greatly reduced, and when invading Earth, they are further weakened by more than half their power by the Barrier constructed by the Sanctum Sanctorum.
By the time they faced the Ancient One, they might not even have 10% of their original strength.
But he was not a Dimensional Demon Gods; he wouldn't be interfered with or weakened by the Sanctum Sanctorum and could unleash his full power.
In close combat, his transformation into a Saiyan Great Ape with over 20,000 combat power should not be weaker than the Ancient One's close combat.
In terms of magic, the Ancient One's magical attainments were indeed powerful; the Black Magic forcefully borrowed from various Dimensional Demon Godss and the White magic of Vishanti, which she was skilled in, both had considerable power.
However, he also had various Ninjutsu and magic to counter, and even when dealing with souls, he had the power of the Shinigami to support him.
Previously, his only concern was the Ancient One's Time Magic.
The Ancient One herself was proficient in Time Magic and held the Time Stone; more importantly, she should be able to unleash all the power of the Time Stone.
Infinity Stones are not something anyone can use just by holding them; if one doesn't know how to use them, they can be harmed by the power of the Infinity Stones.
There are many civilizations in the Universe that were actually destroyed by the backlash because they couldn't control the power of the Infinity Stones.
And the Ancient One might be one of the few who could fully unleash the power of the Time Stone.
Even Thanos, in fact, could only slightly apply the abilities of each Infinity Stone and did not truly master all of them.
If Thanos could perfectly apply all the Infinity Stones, his strength would definitely be more than that.
Look at Ultron, who possessed all the Infinity Stones; he even made the Watcher flee in terror and could easily cross the Multiverse's Barriers.
Even so, Adam felt that Ultron hadn't fully unleashed all the power of the Infinity Stones.
If the Ancient One used the Time Stone to control time and fight him, then unless his combat power broke through the laws of time, he simply wouldn't be able to harm her.
And to break through the laws of time purely with combat power, it would probably require at least Super Saiyan 4 level.
The idea of
one force breaking all laws
naturally exists, but if that force doesn't reach an absolute level, it's naturally impossible.
But now it was different; now he had the Kinomoto Sakura template and could use clow cards that condensed the fundamental laws of the World, including clow cards with time abilities.
The time card could freeze time and make time within a certain range cycle indefinitely.
The return card could reverse time, allowing one to go back to the past.
In Magic God Mode, the effects of these two cards were even more pronounced; not to mention being able to suppress the Ancient One with just these two cards, at least he wouldn't be so passive.
He didn't necessarily aim to defeat the Ancient One, as long as he could retrieve the darkhold from Kamar-Taj, that would be enough.
Besides, even if he failed, it was no big deal; he hadn't done anything outrageous or destructive to Earth, and with the Ancient One's laid-back temperament, at most, she would just drive him away and wouldn't try to kill him.
Since even someone like Agatha could steal the darkhold, he felt he also had a chance.
Moreover, it was possible that he wouldn't need to fight at all and could still get the darkhold.
After all, he was no longer an unknown; as a person who could influence the development of the entire World in the future, the Ancient One, who could see the past and future, should at least give him some face.
However, he had no intention of going immediately.
He still needed to spend some time familiarizing himself with the clow cards so he could apply them better in battle.
At the same time, he would further enhance his combat power.
And so, time flew by, and two months passed.
