Chapter 315: Advancement to Level 5 Superpowered Individual
"George, who is this guy?"
After dealing with Kilian, only one creature remained—its blue skin clearly indicating that it was not a normal human. The group looked at the creature, curious about its identity.
George immediately placed it into a box and then explained,
"This guy is called Hai Sha, and he is an Atlantean."
"Atlantean?"
Everyone exchanged puzzled glances.
The Wakanda revelation had already surprised them, and now there was Atlantis—how many hidden races were there on Earth?
"They are a water-dwelling species. I'll lock him up for now and deal with him later," George briefly explained, tossing Hai Sha into the box.
Through Hai Sha's memories, he discovered that the Atlantis of this universe was different from the one depicted in his past world's movies.
In the movies, Atlantis was the civilization of the 16th-century Central American Maya, who, after being persecuted by colonizers, consumed herbs affected by vibranium, granting them the ability to live underwater, thus founding an underwater kingdom.
But here, Atlantis was an ancient civilization, existing on Earth long before that.
Their current king, Namor, was the offspring of an Atlantean princess and a mutant, born before World War II. He had the ability to live underwater, like an Atlantean, and was also a mutant with the power of flight.
Hai Sha was a pure-blooded Atlantean, who considered Namor a half-breed unworthy of the throne and had repeatedly conspired to overthrow him, though without success.
If Namor cared about Hai Sha's life or death, he would have already come to deal with it. If not, it wouldn't hurt to leave him locked away for a while—he wasn't worth much anyway.
Once all the matters were settled, everyone dispersed, and George buried himself in more magical research.
He had almost mastered alchemy, and his next goal was to combine the magics of various worlds to make the entire school float, creating a floating city. He also planned to create magical items like portal keys, magical school buses, magical cars, and more.
As for the aftermath of the huge incident outside—like the major changes in the U.S. government, global speculation about the origins of the Godrealm soldiers and Frost Giants, the crazy adoration for George and various superheroes, and even the shifting global landscape—George didn't really care about any of it.
Because now, with his immense strength, he no longer needed to worry about the opinions of ordinary people.
At the same time, in a secret base outside Academy City, George, who had been studying the Puritan magic from Sherry Cromwell's memories, had also made significant progress.
For him, researching time magic to save the members of Fairy Tail was important, but time magic was not something that could be broken through quickly.
So he couldn't afford to focus all of his clones' efforts solely on time magic.
Currently, according to his division of labor, his clone in the Fairy Tail world was focusing all its attention on time magic, while the main body in the Marvel world was also dedicating most of its energy to time magic.
As for the clones in other worlds, they were continuing to study the magic of each world, exploring more deeply.
Perhaps in these explorations, they might find new clues related to time magic. Furthermore, the overall increase in magical power would also provide a boost to time magic research.

In Academy City, his clone continued to control Kihara Shuudo to help him develop superpowers while studying the vast amounts of Puritan magic that he had obtained from Sherry.
Sherry, an important member of the Puritan Necessary Evil Church, had grown up in the Puritan faith, had a solid foundation in magical knowledge, and, aside from being proficient in puppet magic, had also read many different kinds of magic books.
After all, in order to deal with different types of enemies, one needed to understand the magic they used and its principles to easily counter it.
And George was quickly absorbing all this magical knowledge. He first learned Sherry's puppet magic, then moved on to learn her rune magic and formulaic magic. Many of the spells amazed him.
For instance, there was the fire sword made from fire that was formed by condensing runes—a red and blue flame sword.
There was also the fire giant, which could endlessly regenerate within the rune range and automatically track and eliminate enemies.
There were spells that acted similarly to the Muggle-repelling charm, dispelling the "Repel Intruder" rune formations of ordinary people.
He also learned "Crimson Art," a long-distance guided missile-like attack, and "Black Art," which created large water walls to protect cities.
One spell could search for enemy positions within a three-kilometer radius of the caster.
In truth, the reason George could learn so many spells so quickly was that many of these magical principles were similar to those he had learned in other worlds.
Although magic in different worlds was still quite varied, with a solid foundation, it was easy to adapt and master them.
In fact, thanks to the magical knowledge he had gained from other worlds, he even modified some of the spells to increase their power.
For example, the fire sword, which normally used flames at 3,000°C, could now integrate three types of fire—demonic fire, hellfire, and dragon fire—enhancing the sword's special attack.
Not only did it burn with flames when struck, but it also carried curses, darkness, and other effects.
For the rune-engraved fire giant, George realized he could use magic to inscribe the runes, making them undetectable and invulnerable to destruction, unlike when using paper with rune inscriptions.
"Time to head to the lab!"
After checking the time, George vanished in a flash of illusion and reappeared at the entrance to the hunting dog squad's base.
As usual, he entered the lab with Kihara Shuudo leading the way, then laid on the device to inject the appropriate drugs and use advanced technology to help develop superpowers.
However, today seemed different. In the past, while he had felt slight improvements in his powers after each experiment, the results were never drastic.
But this time, it felt as though the barrier that had been holding him back had suddenly been broken, and his superpowers experienced a significant leap, as well as a major increase in his mental processing capabilities.
"Finally broke through to level five. It's also time to visit the major churches.
But before that, I should check out the background of that president."
After getting up from the machine and seeing the level five superpower standard on the monitor, George thought to himself.
