"Creation Ring? Aren't you from Celestic Town... Sorry. Go ahead. The temple won't refuse any visitor who follows the rules."
When the middle-aged man first saw the Creation Ring, a faint look of surprise appeared on his face, but it quickly settled back into calm.
Though they had not developed tourism, the temple was still a semi-public place. There was no rule forbidding outsiders from entering.
Of course, under normal circumstances, no one would climb this high just to look at a pile of rocks and strange patterns.
Nor were there ever any rare Pokémon atop Michina Mountain.
"Thank you."
Heiduo nodded slightly. The Michina Ruins being open to visitors was nothing unusual. He had heard an archaeology upperclassman mention it years ago.
The Temple of Michina had been modeled after Greece's Meteora, and its architecture was largely Greek in style. Its interior extended deep into the heart of the mountain, while outside, only part of its entrance remained visible, gradually weathering into sand with the passage of time.
Thick, long columns, triangular roofs, ivory-white paint, and the standard long flight of stairs.
Together, these formed the exterior of the Temple of Michina.
—All of it was worthless aside from its archaeological value.
Perhaps aside from the Spacetime Instrument inside the temple, there was nothing else of value in the entire mountain.
Heiduo had come specifically to see the Spacetime Instrument this time.
The Spacetime Instrument.
It was located in the basement of the ruins.
According to the movie setting, it was an instrument that displayed the constantly changing states of time and space in this world. It resembled an orrery from his previous life, yet differed greatly from one.
Because the spaces of this world did not revolve around Arceus.
The Spacetime Instrument was divided into five parts.
