Pendekar Batari Mahadewi: The Journey to Find Your Self
Episode 116 Seals To Six
The giant worm glided quickly and stuck its teeth into the body of Batari Mahadewi. But the worm did not think that the prospective prey that glowed golden actually became a disaster for him.
The body of the giant worm was sucked into fragments of energy when it landed several jengkal from the golden light sheath that emanated from the body of Batari Mahadewi. Nala was once again amazed by what she saw. He shuddered and felt lucky because he abandoned his intention to touch the body of his new friend.
‘What is it? if I had touched it, I would have finished it. But how is it possible? Why is it that when he is unconscious, he even has the ability to survive as well as that? his body was continuously absorbing energy nonstop. His energy is getting bigger. What creature are you, strange girl?’ inner Nala.
Nala waited for Batari Mahadewi to wake up for two days. During those two days, he collected energy crystals from the strange beasts that attacked him and managed to kill him. He has not intended to use it. He waited for Batari Mahadevi and wanted to share with the girl who made him full of mystery.
On a cold morning, as the sunlight began to infiltrate the fingers of strange-shaped trees and never existed in the world of one moon, the golden light that enveloped the divine heirloom girl slowly disappeared. Batari Mahadevi opened her eyes and rose slowly. He felt a new shape in his body.
Batari mahadevi took off his footwear and slashed his pants, he saw that his legs ranging from the knees to the soles of his feet had turned into golden metal, with beautiful scales.
Batari mahadevi was not as surprised as before with all the changes he made every time he managed to unseal the energy in his body.
“After you sleep!” nala.
“You waiting for me?” ask batari Mahadevi.
“Yes, what else can I do!” answer Nala.
“Thanks, friend.” Batari Mahadevi
“T need not say it. What's with your feet?” ask Nala.
“Every time I made it through my body's restrictions, I experienced a change. Maybe I'm a monster. Maybe one day you'll be disgusted with me. Can I ask you one thing?” ask Batari Mahadevi.
“Say!” answer Nala.
“The only person who can survive my attack is you. I don't know where else I still have this kind of consciousness. Maybe I'm overreacting.but.”.
“What are you talking about, I don't understand.” Nala cuts Batari Mahadewi's talk.
“Listen to me first! You must quickly increase your energy, offsetting my strength each time my strength increases. Thus, if one day something bad happens to me, if I change and can't control myself anymore, you have to kill me.” Said the divine heirloom incarnation girl.
“Don't talk a no-no. I wish the same thing to you. I don't know what I'm gonna be. Meanwhile, I have a powerful stealth energy. There is something in me that always haunts me through my dreams, and wants to rule me completely. You should have killed me. That's why, in Swargadwipa I'm so happy to find you. I was hoping you could kill me back then.” Nala.
“Why do you think so?” ask Batari Mahadevi.
“My brother insisted that I could be strong. He had no idea that I was stronger than he had imagined. It's just that I don't want this. All the warriors we met were weak warriors whom we could easily conquer. That night I saw you who was emitting god energy. I thought you could end me then. But we even got here.” Nala.
“I believe you have a good heart. That's why I didn't kill you the first time we got here. I'm sure, whoever we are, as long as we're in a human body, we'll have a human heart. I believe every human heart is good. Evil is just scratches in our hearts that we cannot forgive, and makes us want to avenge that pain.” said Batari Mahadewi.
“What if the crime is more than you say? What if the evil in me comes from the bottom of my soul and is out of my conscious control?” ask Nala.
“If you believe you can fight it, with your heart, surely the evil will be gone. Only if you believe.” Batari Mahadewi.
“Can we talk anything else?” ask Nala.
“What?” Mahadevi asked.
“I want to know your leg change it.” said Nala
“This, look at.” Batari mahadewi
“Can I touch?” ask Nala
“Nobody's ever touched me before. I'm shy.” Batari Mahadevi.
“We are still children. Don't think no-no.” Nala said irritatedly.
“That's not what I mean. All right, just touch.” Batari Mahadewi.
Nala shaped her forefinger onto the surface of Batari Mahadewi's finely scaly skin and decorated with beautiful carved patterns. The leather was as hard as metal, like gold, and dangerous.
“See this also” Batari Mahadewi rolled up her sleeves covering her entire hand. Nala saw golden strokes ranging from the tip of the nail to the elbows of the two hands of the god's heirloom incarnation girl.
“What an awesome, hard, sharp and supple. You're like a living metal.” Nala.
“Yes that is..to me this is sad.” Batari mahadevi.
“Why?” ask Nala.
“I want to be human, Nala. Fully human, and living as human.” Batari Mahadewi.
“For me, you're human. Far more human than any human I've ever met. Even though your body will turn into anything. As long as you still behave like this, then you are human.” Nala said trying to comfort her friend.
“Nala, see this.” Batari Mahadevi took a black stone that rocks in the world had a different level of hardness. It was much harder, denser, and heavier than the rocks in its home world. Batari Mahadevi scratched his index finger nail into the surface of the stone. Very easily, the stone was split in two.
Nala was silent seeing that. He expected it.
“Nala...” says Batari Mahadewi.
“Ya..” replied Nala
“Are you sure we're still kids?” ask Batari Mahadevi.
“Not really. Our bodies are still children.” Answer Nala
“I'm sure, what we are experiencing today is more complicated than adults.” Batari Mahadewi.
“I think so too. I'm not sure, other kids our age can even talk like we talked.” Nala.
“Since childhood, I've always felt lonely. No one can play with me in my village.” Batari Mahadewi began to open up to tell stories.
“Akupun. I'm not with anyone but my brother.” Nala.
“If you could choose, would you choose your current state, or just be an ordinary child?” ask Batari Mahadevi.
“Sometimes I want to be someone else. Be like you, for example, who can still be close to many people. I am..frankly you are the second person after my brother who talks a lot with me.” Nala.
“What if we both stuck here for good?” ask Batari Mahadevi.
“You are like a woman! always think bad even about things that haven't happened.” Nala.
“What do you think I'm a boy?!” said Batari Mahadevi a little upset because Nala beat him like a woman.
“Maybe you should be a man, you are much stronger than me.” Nala.
“Can women not be strong?” ask Batari Mahadevi.
“Your body is indeed a female body. But I'm not too sure of your thoughts. You could be neither of them. But maybe it will tend to be female, because your body is female.” Nala.
“You didn't answer my question. Can women not be stronger, or even stronger than men?” Batari Mahadevi repeated his question.
“Who forbids?” Nala asked back.
“You said earlier, I should have been a man.” Batari Mahadewi.
“Male or female body are equally strong. Depends on how we handle it. But in terms of ignoring feelings, I think men are much stronger than women. Generally is. But women have a much sharper feeling. Whether you agree or not.” Nala.
“Hahaha.you know, somehow I feel good talking to you. I've never talked like this with anyone.” Batari Mahadewi.
