64 Holding time inside the hand

Earth…

10th of August 2008.

New Mexico.

Nighttime…

"Why should I? " Bruce said with an indifferent face before disregarding her demand and flying a few hundred meters above the surface of the planet in an instant.

From the vision of the Ancient One she only saw him vanishing from her sight before she can punch on him and take the stone back and by the time she finally locates him Bruce his floating in the sky for a few seconds already and taking a deep breath to calm herself she also followed behind him using the cloak of levitation by the time she arrived beside him Bruce is already holding the greenstone after taking it out from the Artifact called The Eye of Agamoto and hears Bruce saying "So this is the Time Stone. "

"You don't know what you are toying with boy… " said the ancient one in disbelief when she saw Bruce holding the shining green gemstone which represents the infinite time of the universe.

As an expert, she knew she needs to calm in a situation like this but when you see a kid holding to the time itself you will be unable to hold your calm Bo matter how expressed you are.

Although she wants to snatch it back from Bruce she knew it won't be possible after the exchange they had and now that Bruce has an Infinite Stone and from his facial expression she knows he is in whole control of the very stone.

This action alone can prove how monasteries his level is compared to him which made her give up the thought of snatching the stone as she says with a fake calm face after taking another deep breath like some kind of wise Sage that she should be from the commoners perspective "So I suggest for you to return the stone before you do something that you regret doing. "

"Oh! you are mistaken because I am the one that knows about this stone very well and I can assure you that there is no one among the mortals who understands Time better than myself. " Bruce said with a smile holding the stone between his two-fingers.

Yes, the tone is not flying but he is holding it between his fingers.

Although everyone can hold all the stones available except the time stone because this is the only thing that can't be held in the hand but here he is holding it as if he is holding your daily glowing stone and not even getting any kind of side-effects from it which made the Ancient One exclaim in shock the kid is holding the time itself how can this be possible not even her who has witnessed uncountable bizarre things though out her whole life had ever witnessed a thing like this "Impossible this is madness. "

"This feels so familiar. " holding the time stone and disregarding the warning from the Old woman Brice said as he can feel something that is very familier to him "This feeling is similar to the feeling of accepting the source of *****(Time and Space)" as he knows someone is beside him he didn't finish the last part and closing his eyes and holding to the stone Bruce can once again feel the near-infinite power he once hand and the concept of time he has mastered previously has once again returned to him which is an amazing feeling if he has to explain.

"You will doom us all if you hold on to it like that. " the Ancient One shouts in fear of what she witnesses before her eyes because not king after Bruce closes his eyes she saw the green glow from the time stone following from his fingers to his body and soon covering the whole body of his and she knew he is now in total control of the stone which means the time of the whole Universe.

A single mistake and the timeline will be in a huge disaster the whole world can get destroyed if he does something that he doesn't understand.

You need to know that Agamotto the one who had created the Eye of Agamotto and established the order of the Masters of the Mystic Arts, had also putten some limitations on the Artifact as well as safety measurements so it can't cause any disaster to the time and reality by the Mistake of the owner.

But now that Bruce has taken it out from the Eye and has total control over it she is not sure what kind of disasters he will bring for all of them.

Even after a few more restless screams from her Bruce seemed to have stopped listening to her and finally, she saw some crack appearing on the akin of his body like the dry land of summer and could not help but exclaim "You, you are still not going to put my warning to your ears fine than deal with what have brought upon yourself. "

"So that was my limit. " Bruce said with a sigh as he stopped holding to the time stone and the stone again started floating above his hand as he thoughts to himself 'Although this amount of law of time is enough to create a time chamber which is 100 times faster than the normal time however I still need to get the law of space of this world if I want to open a dimension for my training.

Let's just create a small dimension of a few 1000km for now and wait till I get my hand on the space stone. Then... '

"You can have it back. " as he has already mastered the concept of time and wants to adapt to the amount of time energy he has absorbed with the current limitation of his body as well as created a link with the time and his body before it exploded he decided to put the stone back in the Artifact and return it to the Ancient One while recovering from the Wounds slowly without using the healing chamber or healing magic so his body can fully get adapted with the law of time.

Looking at Bruce whose body is slowly losing the green cracks while he puts the eye back inside the sacred Artifact then handing it to her the Ancient one taking a sigh of relief said with a wise tone thinking he has finally heard her warning and came to her sense "I am glad that you understand. "

"So will you be kind enough to explain why you suddenly interrupted me in my meditation? " as he is satisfied with his gain Bruce didn't want to destroy her thought and decided to get to the point.

"As I said before it was a request from my friends to have a meeting with you. " Ancient One said with a wise face as ever after she regained the stone as well as her pillar of faith in oneself.

'Looks like with the stone her.. ' shaking in her sudden change Bruce again gets to the point " Then I hope you can explain who they are if it isn't inconvenient of you. "

"That is fine," she said with a smile and started making a circle in the air which made Bruce startled but he didn't feel any negative emotions from her but still took a battle stance out of habit and delt two familiar ki behind him as the Ancient One said with a chuckle "Because you know them very well. "

=======================

(-_-) I think we all know who are the newly arrived people are.

Anyway if you are wondering I chose this direction of giving the Stone back then I will say if he keeps the stone to himself the story will end with this chapter and the other reason is that the time stone is now useless to him as he can also do the things that one can with the time stone.

although he can not do something on a bigger scale however he will be able to do it slowly with time as he gets stronger and has more control of the law of time.
