The Time Stone Crystal

Chapter 43 - Building the Temple

“Hyperion is the type who doesn’t listen to any discussion and just wants to get what he wants. I want to talk to him in-depth but it will only lead to an argument,” her husband replied to her.

 "I see. There is really no hope that he will be sober.”

“It is gone because his mind is closed to the change he wants to achieve. A monster is always a monster.”

"Just join me upstairs so that I can estimate how strong the wind will hit around."

"Sure, my wife."

They went to the high part of the temple where they would estimate the wind that would possibly hit that area. And as before, they will use an ability that only they know. While Weng refreshed the cold air around, her husband comes closer behind her.

"Are you ready?"

She nodded. "I'm always ready, my love."

"Good."

Slowly he took her hand again, raised it slightly, and pointed it in front of them. This is one of the ways they can use at once the power that the stone crystal has. She slowly closed her eyes to concentrate well.

"As I told you, the energy of the stone crystal is connected to the environment, especially to the elements of the world. You can see how strong the wind will hit this area and you can also prevent it. You can also change it so that it doesn't affect this part of the area but you have to think about how you can give it another path without forcing its density deviation.”

"If we weaken the wind that hits here, I have to find a way for it so it can't be stocked in its direction, right?" she said while closing her eyes.

“Yes, my love. What do you think? In what part of this area do you need strong winds more?” Kairo asked.

“I was thinking, my love. If it hits in another direction, it will affect nature as well as those at the foot of the mountain. This temple was not the only one or two for the purpose for which it was built. The direction of the wind that hits it will penetrate it upwards. If we let it penetrate downwards, it is more dangerous at the bottom. There are many perishable natural resources of Mount Wudang. The mountains are designed to block the coming strong storms and limit the force of the wind element.”

“You are right, my love. Your mind seems to be working on the ability of the stone crystal. We have no choice but to build a high wall in this area.”

"And that's also the right way but we need concrete materials." She slowly opened her eyes then her husband lowered their hand.

"I will go your era but I need the stone crystal so that I can pass the Dimensional World towards your time."

"Is that hard, my love?"

“Of course not. We just need the strong energy of the stone crystal but you will become weak. Just stay in our room and lie down so we can do it together.”

“Okay, my love. Let’s have fun. ”

They went to their room again and she lay down. They had to do this in case she fainted while her husband Kairo sat on her side while he held her hand.

"Just calm down, my love."

"Just kiss me, my love."

Kairo smiled then slowly kissed her on her lips but in a split second only, then he parted their lips. He held her hand tightly so that they could begin diverting the materials that would be used in building the wall for the temple. She slowly closed her eyes and seemed to be sleeping according to her husband”s orders.

Hyperion’s Fortress

Meanwhile, in Hyperion's fortress. He was furious again because of his defeat to Kairo and he lost one of his generals again. The wall it had struck with so much anger and self-loathing was almost destroyed. It cannot accept defeat even if it has the power to defeat its ultimate rival Kairo.

“Why?! Why?! Why?! ” He punches the wall.

"Lord Hyperion…" said one of his men.

“I already have the mind stone, the half stone crystal, and the soul stone. Why can't I still beat that Kairo?!”

"Lord Hyperion, maybe it's because the woman holding his stone crystal is next to him or maybe Kairo is really strong."

"Useless!" He unleashed dark energy in front of his staff.

His men were frightened and withdrew from its power, almost shaking the whole palace.

"Sorry, Lord Hyperion!" said the staff.

"What do you want to show that I'm weak compared to that mortal woman?"

His men bowed as well as the five generals left behind.

“Lord Hyperion, why don't we separate Kairo and the unidentified soul with him? Or find chances for them not to be together?” suggestion of General Gorgon.

“Kairo had a strong intuition with that woman and I knew that their minds were connected to know the danger immediately. Perhaps that fool has already taught his beloved!” he said with still in angry motion.

“If Kairo doesn't have the weakness for them, it may be for their colleagues. Let's kill their comrades and take a chance for them alone,” General Mujik suggested.

“General Mujik is right, Lord Hyperion. We will cut off Kairo's tentacles so that they can make that woman suffer in great grief. We will let them know how bitter it is to fail,” said General Sawir.

“They are right, Lord Hyperion. Let's prioritize his staff and take them one by one. It's up to us to plan how we can break them up,” General Uhiru replied.

“I know the portal they went to, Lord Hyperion. I can bring our personnel or we can obey the personnel there who know a lot about fighting,” said General Tong Tsui.

"Just make sure you succeed and I will give you enough power," he told them.

"Yes, Lord Hyperion!"

"Leave me alone, mow!"

They hurriedly left in front of him and he was left alone there. He must carry out his plans to unite the mighty stone powers in his hands.

Temple of Wudang Mountains

Jigger and Kristoff were in the shade of a tree as they watched around the temple. They have become accustomed to monitoring the environment to protect the area from those who want to invade there.

“The atmosphere is very quiet and the air is fresh here. I feel like I want to live here,” Jigger said while sitting down.

"You don't want to go back with Margareth?" Kristoff asked while smiling.

“I want to live with her in such a quiet place. But I know she prefers to stay at Master Kairo's Crystal Palace so I will accompany her there as well. What are your plans with Maria? Will you live at her place as well?”

“I will ask okay Master Kairo that we live there with my parents and siblings in our land. I want our family to be well after this trip.”

“That’s a good idea, bro. Hander and Thiara? Do those two have a plan? They have not separated since we were in Israel. Hander's venom is different,” Jigger smiled meaningfully.

“You said it, Jigger. But I am glad that the two have reconciled and no longer quarrel. Hander wanted something and just keep it from Thiara. Hander is very lucky for Thiara because apart from being brave, she can also fight for him.” Kristoff laughed at once.

“Imagine, what if they are both hot-headed? What will be the outcome of their marriage? I just thought that Hander would be under Thiara’s reigning home, I can't imagine that in my mind.”

"Let's leave them alone."

"Anyway, Master Kairo has a plan to fix the temple in that part." At once it pointed to a cracked temple.

“Yes. And they will take materials from Lady Weng's time.”

“Others have the skills and they are able to get things done right away. Only then will the energy of Lady Weng's stone crystal vessel be depleted. Is she okay?”

“She is fine as long as Master Kairo is with her. Let's go to that part and maybe help them build the temple,” Kristoff said.

“Kristoff…”

Kristoff turned to him. "Why Jigger?"

“In case I get lost in this adventure of ours, you already know the things I kept for Margareth. Just give it to him,” he said seriously.

“Huh? Why are you saying that, Jigger? Are you crazy already? No one will die in our group and we will all go home for our loved ones.”

"Just in case."

"I don't want to think about that in case you do!"

It was afternoon and the materials had arrived at the temple. Master Zhang and Master Kairo's staff worked together to begin building the temple wall. The materials have also been obtained and Lady Weng is rest in her room because she has lost almost her energy in diverting the materials to be used in the construction of the wall.

"How is she?" Master Zhang asked Kairo.

"She is fine and rests well."

"Good. Also tomorrow morning I will teach her Tai Chi or when she can recover after what happened today. Even if she has half your stone crystal, she is still a mortal, Master Kairo.”

“You are right, Master Zhang. My wife is still part of her mortality and she has never been able to get that kind of power from my stone crystal. She still has to conquer all the elements of this world before she can get it perfectly.”

"Master Kairo, do you still remember what I asked you before about a god with golden eyes?"

“I remember, Master Zhang. What more do you want to know about that?”

“The creator has golden eyes according to an old scripture I read to my ancestors. The creator pretends to be human, sometimes a god who gives tasks to people or interacts. Only special creatures can see with these golden eyes. Lady Weng is special, isn't she?”

"Hmm… Do you want to ask if she saw in my eyes what you're referring to?"

“That’s right, Master Kairo. As it is believed if the god Buddha also provides strange purposes for his creatures who believe in him. Does Lady Weng saw that in you?”

"My wife saw the things she should need to see, Master Zhang."

“Then you are…”

“Master Zhang, whatever you know so far, don't even let her know. I need to educate my people so they know their mistakes. I am just an instrument of the creator to guide everyone.”

“I understand but your wife will also know the truth when the time comes and you know you really can't be together forever. The creator cannot have a connection with mortals but they can have children with them.”

"So we went through this adventure process so I asked the creator to allow me to be with the person I love."

“But you still have to sacrifice, Master Kairo. Immortality in exchange for being free to be with the person you love or choose godliness and leave the person you love. Whichever of those two decisions you make will also affect humans world.”

"I'm thinking of her well, Master Zhang."

“Even if you know where Hyperion's fort is. You also know in yourself that you just took them to seven portals to give them tasks and be with her for a long time, am I right?”

“I have to do this, Master Zhang. People in the world are not always permanent.”

"And are you ready to lose of them?"

“I have prepared a world for them in the future. They will also meet there but will never remember the moments they experienced bitterness and suffering in the world today.”

“I understand, Master Kairo. Let’s continue to build the wall.”

“Alright.”

They went to the area where the people are busy building the structure while Kairo commanded what they need to do.

On the other side, Weng tears welled on her face as she heard everything while lying on the bed.
