YM778.TV Chapter 125: chapter 125 - For What?
The chief slightly bowed his head, after he was done Explaining the whole situation that happened to them. And then Followed by the Seven Panglima, Djaan, Anggun and even Rijal also bowed their heads toward Taufik.
"*sigh* you don\'t need to be like that, didn\'t I say that I would help you, so just tell me what Kind of help you need me to do" Taufik said.
\'Why the always bowed? Is it a kind of hobby or something?\' thought Taufik.
"We want you to do that thing you did to the Water spirit before, we know it\'s only a temporary solution, but at least it can buy us time to think about how we deal with this situation, it is possible, sir?"
The chief said, what he asked was indeed just a temporary solution, if Taufik \'Shared\' his Pure Mana with The Ancient earth spirit, it would only delay the Demonized for a few years, not to mention the Mana around which as time went by, will become more corrupt, which will only speed up the Demonized process.
"Is indeed possible, but before that, I want to ask one question, why the Ancient Earth spirit just didn\'t back to the Spirit realm? Is it more easy that way?"
Taufik said, Asking a reasonable question, \'If the Mana on the earth was so corrupt, then why don\'t just go to the Spirit Realm which was on a different dimension from the Earth?\' it\'s what Taufik thought.
"That... That was indeed a Good Solution for the other\'s spirit, but The Ancient earth spirit was Different..."
"What the Different?" Ask Taufik.
"We don\'t know much, because, The ancient Earth spirit has existed since time immemorial, perhaps when the Earth was created, He already existed, So they have a bond to the Earth, And can\'t leave it, it\'s not only him, but the others Ancient Spirit was also like that, Maybe Right Now, the Others Tribe who Also Protect an Ancient spirit around the world faced the same situation like us, it\'s a very dangerous situation not only for us, but to whole World"
"...Since when?"
Taufik asked, he heard what The Chief said as clear as the day, But what he said captivated Taufik\'s interest, so he asked it Again to make sure, that the Chief didn\'t say it wrong.
"... Since Earth was created?"
"..."
--------------
\'The scale of this problem has become so big, but the Ancient Spirit was bonded to the Earth? Isn\'t it a being like Lembu, an Aboriginal Being?... No, it\'s not like that, What if, the one who has ties to the ancient spirits is \'Gaia\', the mother of earth?
If you think about it, doesn\'t that make sense, each type of Spirit symbolizes an element that exists on Earth, and Gaia is the Mother of Earth, does that make sense? What do you think, system?\'
[There\'s indeed a possibility of something like that happening, Master, But without clear evidence, I can\'t make a definite conclusion]
\'I see, but if Gaia was indeed sealed, then where she is get sealed? Where do you think is a possible place, system?\'
[If what you Thought was True, Master, The likely place where Gaia is Sealed, is in the Earth\'s core, that is the highest, most reasonable possibility I can come up with]
\'... Earth core? Is it the Theory about \'Hollow Earth\'?\'
Hollow Earth is a concept that states that the planet Earth is completely hollow or has space on the inside. As stated by Edmond Halley in the late 17th century, it was rejected by Pierre Bouguer in 1740, and by Charles Hutton in his Schiehallion experiments around 1774.
The theory was still sometimes defended in the mid-19th century, most notably by John Cleves Symmes Jr. and Jeremiah N. Reynolds, but this time it is part of popular pseudoscience and no longer a scientifically accepted hypothesis.
(Source: Wikipedia)
[Yes Master]
\'Hollow Earth, huh?... Interesting, so if we want to solve this problem at once, we need to Release Gaia, However, one question arises, who sealed Gaia? Was it his children, an angel, a Demon, or could it be \'Fate\' doing, again?\'
Taufik said in his mind, but he didn\'t find any answers, but the most likely candidate to do this is \'Fate\' or Gaia\'s own child. But for what reason?
That is what Taufik Tried to find out.
---------------
Seeing Taufik was Deep in Thought, the others began to worry, as long as they knew Taufik was the strongest person they had met, if even he was made that Kind of Expression then this Problem was more serious than what they thought at first.
"Dear, are you okay?"
Jenn who also began to worry, touched Taufik\'s shoulder, which made Taufik out of his Thoughts, and then looked at Jenn, when he saw Jenn\'s worried Expression, Taufik was confused, but when he looked at the others, they also made the same Expression as Jenn, a worried Expression, only Alice who sit on Taufik lap while enjoyed her milk+Taufik blood have a different Expression.
Only after that Taufik was aware of what was happening.
"Ohh~ sorry for that, I\'m Thinking about something else, forgive me, everything is okay"
Heard that, everyone was felt Relief, especially the Dai-yak Tribe.
"So, Mr. Taufik, can you-"
*SHAKING!!*
"!!!"
Before The Chief can finish what he wants to say, the Ground suddenly shakes, and the source is from the mountain where the ancient earth spirit resides.
The Earthquake was so strong, that all of the Ornament on the wall Of Rijal\'s house fell, there\'s even a crack on the walls and pillars of the house.
*crack!*
A sound of cracking sounded above them, but because of the earthquake and the sound of screaming from outside they bearly could hear that crack sound, only Taufik and Rani who could hear it clearly, Taufik then looked above, and it was when he saw the roof was about to fall.
Quickly, Taufik used magic.
\'Laviated!\'
The Roof then stops falling, Taufik then passes Alice to Rani.
"TAKE ALICE AND QUICKLY GET OUT FROM HERE! I WILL GO TO SEE THE SITUATION"
Taufik said, then manifested his Mana Wing, but then a hand reached his ankle, and it was Rijal.
"PLEASE TAKE ME WITH YOU, THE EARTHQUAKE WAS FROM THE MOUNTAIN, THERE IS SOMEONE THERE"
"The Priest... THE PRIEST! SIR, PLEASE SAVE HER, SHE WAS ON THE TEMPLE IN THE MOUNTAIN"
The chief said that the Priest was someone who could communicate with the ancient earth spirit, So the Priest needed to live as close as possible to the spirit.
"... ALRIGHT, RIJAL YOU COME WITH ME, SHOW ME THE WAY"
Taufik said, then directly go out of the house and immediately go to the mountain, the others also have come out of the House.
The situation outside was chaotic, the House was collapsed to the ground, and a crack appeared in the Ground, a child cried, And a mother screamed, calling their children names.
The previous peaceful scene suddenly changed, the spirit that can\'t be seen with the naked eye, became visible, and they began to attack The Tribe member.
"This... Have the ancient earth spirits have been Demonized? Why it\'s happening so fast?"
Say The chief who was shocked at this situation, but he soon came to his senses, then looked at the seven Panglima and Djaan.
"GO HELP THE OTHERS! SAVE AS MUCH AS YOU CAN!"
""YES, CHIEF""
Djaan and the seven Panglima said at the same time, they began to spread to help their fellow Tribe member.
\'If this happens this fast, then what about the other ancient spirit?...Or it\'s just us?\' the chief thought.
"We will help to"
Rani said.
"Thank you, that\'s what we need the most right now"
*nod*
Then after that, the chief, Rani, and the other also spread to help, only Anggung and Jenn who remain there with Alice in her arms.
"What about daddy?"
Alice asks Jenn.
"Don\'t worry, sweetie, your daddy will solve this as fast as possible, His strong, right?"
Jenn said, casting a barrier spell around them, in case something happened.
"*Nod* "
Alice just nods her head, then hugs Jenn Neck.
---------------
Taufik who flew while carrying Rijal. He was not worried about his family because he knew how strong they were, something like this was nothing to them.
"Where\'s the temple Rijal?"
"It\'s there, on that cave"
Rijal said, pointing at some areas where a big Cave entrance.
"Alright"
Said Taufik, then a few seconds later they were already in front of the Cave entrance.
Rijal who seemed can\'t wait anymore, quickly ran into the Cave when his feet landed on the Ground. He ignored the rocks that fell at the mouth of the cave due to the vibrations from the earthquake.
After running for a few seconds, they came to a place that had a kind of altar shaped like a bed, and on the altar lay a woman who was moaning in pain.
"RATI!?"
Rijal said, then quickly came to the women\'s side.
Rijal then lifted the woman into his arms.
"Rati, what happens?"
Heard that, A woman named, Maharati, slightly opened her eyes.
"R-rijal, I can\'t hold it anymore, The level of corruption in the ancient earth spirit is too high, if this continues we can\'t do anything else, apart from seeing the ancient earth spirit being Demonized, please tell the chief to immediately evacuate everyone from here, I will detain the ancient earth spirit for as long as what I can, please!"
"W-what are you saying? How I can leave you alone, let\'s go together"
"I can\'t Rijal, please understand"
"B-but"
"Thank you Rijal, These past few months were the happiest memory for me, it\'s all thanks to you, At first I thought I was just an emotionless tool to communicate with the ancient earth spirit, but after meeting you, even though at first you were very annoying, after being with you for a while, I could finally feel what it is... love, Thank you Rijal. .. now go! I\'ll endure this as long as I can, go!"
Rita said, showing the sweetest smile that Rijal had ever seen, while a tear fell from her eyes.
"... Rati...
Rijal said. There\'s also a tear falling from his eyes, but then Rijal shakes his head.
... No, at this moment Grandpa maybe has already evacuated everyone, I will stay here with you till the end"
"... Rijal... *ughh* "
Rati then squeezed her chest, Groening in Pain.
"RATI!!"
Rijal called Rati\'s Name, and then hugged her tightly.
"Rati, I love you, Please stay with me"
"I too Rijal, I love you too, but I can\'t stay with you, I have obligations that I cannot renounce, So just go! I can\'t bear seeing the man I love die with me, Please"
"No, I-"
"*Ukhum!* are you guys done? Can you guys show Me how I can link to the Ancient Earth spirit?"
Taufik who can\'t bear to watch this \'Drama\' anymore, makes his presence known to these two love birds, because it seems they have forgotten that he has already been here since the beginning.
"Eh?" x2
