He's in the Marvel universe, and his first step is marrying Scarlet Witch.

Chapter 196 Terrifying Destructive Power (First Update)

The only magic Li Chuan could think of that could simultaneously slow down a physical ten-ringed spell and an intangible killing curse was time-based magic.

And this is not without basis.

In this world, wizards not only have a deep understanding of spatial magic, but also of time magic.

Spells like the Freeze Spell, Time Reversal Spell, and Repair Spell all involve some characteristics of time magic.

The Time Converter, a special magical item created using time magic, allows users to travel back in time and undertake a certain degree of time travel.

Because time magic is too dangerous, not only for the user but also for the entire world, related magical knowledge is basically not available in schools or bookstores.

At least in Tom Foley's memory and in major bookstores, Li Chuan could not find any theories or research results about time magic.

But as the greatest wizard in history, Dumbledore was proficient in almost all magic, so it was not surprising that he could use time magic.

However, the ability to apply time magic in combat was indeed somewhat beyond his expectations.

"A sudden whirlwind!"

After dodging the attacks of the Ten Rings and the Killing Curse, Dumbledore used his left hand to cast a Whirlwind Curse on Li Chuan's shadow clone.

Li Chuan's shadow clone immediately unleashed a violent tornado, instantly tearing his body apart.

"It's not an illusion, nor is it entirely physical, yet it can still unleash magical attacks. How strange!"

Seeing Li Chuan's shadow clone torn apart and disappear into thin air, Dumbledore's expression grew increasingly serious.

If he was merely cautious at first, but didn't actually take the other party seriously, he is now on high alert.

Because of the powerful magic and magical artifacts coming from the other side, there's a real possibility that he could lose today if things go wrong.

Realizing that Dumbledore could use time magic to influence the flow of time in objects near him, Li Chuan immediately summoned the Ten Rings again to protect him.

He was worried that Dumbledore would Apparate to his side and use time magic, in which case he would have to rely on activating the second stage of his body and combining it with the Eight Gates to use his absolute physical advantage to reverse the negative effects of time magic.

But that might expose Ming Shang's true identity, since Ming Shang is known for his physical prowess, and he will likely rely on magic and physical strength when he fights Grindelwald later.

Only by adjusting the ten rings to set up a defensive energy field can one protect oneself at all times.

Even if Dumbledore used time magic at close range, it wouldn't be easy for him to break through the tenth-ring energy defense so quickly.

As expected, seeing that Li Chuan did not continue to attack him with the tenth ring but instead switched back to protect himself, Dumbledore sighed with some regret. Then, he flashed and temporarily gave up releasing more magic attacks, widening the distance between himself and Li Chuan.

The Quidditch pitch was now a pile of ruins after the battle between the two, and the Aurors from the Ministry of Magic were hiding in the distance in fear.

At Hogwarts Castle, the headmaster, along with all the professors, used super armor to protect the entire castle from the impact.

There's no way around it; even disregarding the details of their battle, the mere clash between water and fire was terrifying enough. Normally, any wizard could wipe out a whole group of them instantly.

"Dumbledore, you are indeed more powerful than I expected, but what if, what if a hundred of me attacked you simultaneously?"

Seeing Dumbledore Apparate and distance himself from him again, Li Chuan formed hand seals:

"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"

In an instant, ninety-nine identical shadow clones appeared on the field.

"Fire Release: Head Carving!"

"Water Release: Water Curtain!"

"Earth Release: Earth Rising Spear!"

"Wind Release: Pressure Damage!"

"Lightning Release: False Darkness!"

Shadow clones rapidly formed hand seals, unleashing countless advanced Five Elements ninjutsu techniques as if they were free, frantically covering Dumbledore's location.

Even Dumbledore, who was very confident in his Iron Mantra, was so frightened by the sight that he dared not defend himself and immediately Apparated away.

The combined bombardment of the Five Elements Escape Techniques lasted for a full minute. Only after the chakra within the Shadow Clone's body was almost exhausted did Li Chuan stop.

The original Quidditch pitch was completely transformed into a small lake under the cover of such insane ninjutsu.

This terrifying scene left all the wizards, young and old, who were watching at that moment completely dumbfounded.

Of course, such a powerful attack still did not kill Dumbledore, because he had already Apparated away from the area covered by the ninjutsu.

Li Chuan also knew this, because he never intended to kill Dumbledore.

His purpose in coming here was twofold: first, to complete Grindelwald's mission; and second, to let everyone in the wizarding world know that his strength was comparable to Dumbledore's, thus putting enough pressure on Dumbledore and the Ministry of Magic.

At the same time, he established his prestige within the UMNO party as second only to Grindelwald.

So what he needs to do is demonstrate his strength, and releasing ninety-nine shadow clones to cause destruction is a way of showing that.

Yes, Dumbledore could use his incredible Apparition ability to evade, but what about the other wizards?

How could they possibly withstand such a powerful Li Chuan?

"boom!"

Just then, a dark cloud suddenly appeared above all of Li Chuan's heads, accompanied by lightning, thunder, and torrential rain. Then, bolts of lightning as thick as an arm descended from the sky, bombarding all of Li Chuan below.

Before long, all of Li Chuan's shadow clones were blasted into smoke and disappeared by the lightning.

It was Dumbledore who, hiding in the distance, timed the counterattack perfectly, using a weather charm to conjure a large patch of dark clouds and channel the lightning within to attack Li Chuan below.

"Is he dead?"

The Aurors from the British Ministry of Magic, who were also hiding in the distance, couldn't resist Apparating to Dumbledore's side after seeing all the Li Chuan disappear.

Dumbledore, wand in hand, shook his head warily and said:

"No, those that just disappeared weren't his true form. His true form must have already hidden somewhere else. You'd better stay away from me. Who knows what kind of strange magic he'll use to attack me next."

After the duel, he realized that although his opponent might be inferior to him in some aspects, in terms of pure magical destructive power, he was no less than himself and Grindelwald.

If the opponent counterattacks again in a moment, he can use Apparition to dodge. If these Aurors are nearby, they will probably be affected.

Therefore, these Aurors not only cannot help him here, but will also be a hindrance.
