Big Crystal
“So far, it says: A daughter born from the eye of the Goddess came down to earth and became the Big Crystal." - Operator
The Big Crystal, also referred to as the Eye of the Goddess, is a sacred artefact kept on a pedestal in an area of the Ruins of Time that is entirely closed off to the outside (leading to the Tom Toms breaching a wall to allow their own entry). Those in the Time Factory know that it is not to be touched, though other civilizations do not (and the Time Factory may operate under the assumption that no others know of its existence, much as they don't know of the existence of the Goddesses). Further details were unknown to even the Time Factory before ancient stone tablets were retrieved from other worlds, Woodstone and the Destiny Ruins, that detailed the consequences of damaging the Big Crystal. This included details such as Mina being born from the Big Crystal and the Goddesses' scissors descending on World A000. The dreams of an individual that touches the crystal become real, potentially causing chaos as in Benito's case. |
When Benito touched the Big Crystal (or rather violently embraced it), it shattered into eight pieces, distributing itself among many worlds, as its chamber fell to pieces. The Goddesses took this as an indication of time not being sufficiently appreciated and then resolved to destroy the universe, leading to the events of the Big Crystal incident.
Each Big Crystal fragment gave off massive amounts of energy, resulting in very large and powerful time monsters wherever a fragment landed and enabling the Time Factory to use them as an energy source as they were collected.
After all eight fragments were used to destroy the Scissor Demon in World A000, the Big Crystal itself reformed with Mina appearing in front of it, although the new location in which it resides is unknown (as the chamber in which it originally stood was destroyed).
