GHOST VILLAGE

PART 6: THE MANSION OF RENGGA

Ki Sabrang 2128 seemed busy preparing for the Tumbal Barata ceremony for midnight later and assisted by Muma Padura. The tumbal barata ceremony is a fictional tradition in Javanese culture that often appears and is described as a ritual performed to summon spirits or demons with the aim of asking for wealth or luck.

In stories involving the barata tumbal ceremony, there are usually several figures who are willing to sacrifice the lives of others as a victim in the ceremony. In this story, Ki Sabrang 2128 will subvert the current version of Ki Sabrang, which suffered a severe stroke, with the aim of transferring its power so that Ki Sabrang 2128 will grow stronger. The term is usually "quickening".

"Quickening" is the process by which the energy released from the body of the dead person who is grounded will enter the body of the person who subdues him. Quickening causes lightning, lightning, and massive explosions that can damage the surrounding nature. The person who is grounded must be equal to the one who subverts him so that there is no rejection in his body.

After absorbing the strength and life experiences of others, the winner (the one who subverts) will feel a significant increase in physical and mental strength. This makes the transfer of power important in the lives of otherworldly explorers, as they can survive longer and improve their abilities in this way.

Ki Sabrang from 2128 is known to have superior telepathic and telekinetic powers compared to the present-day version of Ki Sabrang. Ki Sabrang 2128 uses the spells of azarath - metrion and zinthos to perform his powers.

The first mantra, "Azarath" was used as a release of telepathic and telekinetic powers.  The second mantra, "Metrion" is used as a mantra to help measure and restore received telepathic and telekinetic powers. The third mantra, "Zinthos" was used as a spell to penetrate another world through a black hole portal of time.

After Ki Sabrang 2128 enters a time portal black hole following Raka, and falls in this epoch, Ki Sabrang realizes that it is not only him who can explore a parallel version of the world, but also Rama after observing in the last battle. But the goal of Ki Sabrang 2128 is different from the goal of Rama. Ki Sabrang 2128 actually destroyed the other world version of Ki Sabrang just to be the only one who is strongest.

While Rama, it can combine the power of Rama otherworldly version to help or increase his strength without having to destroy the others. That is why Ki Sabrang 2128 held the Tumbar Barata ceremony only to absorb the power of Ki Sabrang of this era and add to the power of Ki Sabrang 2128.

Muma Padura has prepared everything for the Tumbar Barata ceremony. The midnight hour has arrived. The peak atmosphere of Mahameru is also brightly lit with moonlight without significant cloudiness. Jonggring Saloko Crater, as usual, is active, with hot lava ready to be spewed from it.

"Jonggring Saloko Crater", which literally means "crater guarded by Jonggring Saloko". Jonggring Saloko is a legendary figure in Javanese folklore known as the guardian of the crater and protector of Mount Semeru. According to legend, Jonggring Saloko was the daughter of the Majapahit king who was sent to keep the crater of Semeru from erupting and endangering the surrounding population.

Meanwhile, seeing the condition of Ki Sabrang today which is above the dolmen on the edge of Jonggring Saloko crater, becomes very sad. Aside from the heavy stroke, Ki Sabrang had been lying all day in the scorching sun and cold of the night. What an inhumane plan just for the ego to strengthen itself.

Ki Sabrang 2128, as well as the rules for being outside the radius of 500 meters, observed the process of the Tumbal Barata ceremony conducted by Muma Padura. It seems that Muma Padura is already an expert and finished reciting his spells. Then it appeared that he was spouting water onto the face of this era's Ki Sabrang who was still muttering meaninglessly on top of the dolmen.

At a glance look around, splashes - splashes of lava in the crater Jonggring Saloko has begun to rise to the top waiting for the arrival of the collision. And finally Muma Padura can lift the body of Ki Sabrang this era who is already helpless, and immediately throw it into the middle of the lava tongue in the crater Jonggring Saloko.

Streams of force aura then emerged from within the lava towards Ki Sabrang 2128. Ki Sabrang's body limp, then his head bowed lethargic.5 minutes later, after the lightning stopped striking him, and the rain began to subside, Ki Sabrang rose. Ki Sabrang stood firm with a beaming face and laughed out loud, "I am now the strongest, hahahaha... "

Muma Padura who saw Ki Sabrang's behavior just remained silent without flinching. It seems that Muma Padura is really under the influence of Ki Sabrang's telepathic and telekinetic powers so that he has no expression at all.

Elsewhere, Rama, who is still saddened by the loss of his family, is still at the top of Hargo Dalem Gunung Lawu. Rama, who does not have any information about the movement of Wewe Gombel carrying the baby Raka, then forced to decide to return to his home in Kampung Hantu.

Rama also flew from Mount Lawu to Kampung Hantu. Not too long ago, he had already set foot in his house. The floor of his house is a bit dusty, because it has been a long time abandoned due to the continuous war against Ki Sabrang's troops after the baby Raka was born. His job as an IT progmmer who reviews Kampung Hantu was abandoned.

Entering the living room and room of his house, Rama became always remembered with the face of Queen Sari. Rama recalled how happy his life was to live with Queen Sari at his home, after marrying at the palace of the White Stream Jin Kingdom. Until it is remembered when Rama accompanied Queen Sari pregnant baby Raka in the house, making Rama very sad.

Especially when considering how the time - when together at home Rama defend himself with Gendoruwo from the attack of Ki Sabrang troops who want to destroy the baby Raka in the womb. Rama became limp himself sitting on the sofa of his living room.

Ratna who monitors the condition of the pulse of Rama also felt the sadness of Rama. Ratna also has not been able to help information on the movements of Wewe Gombel who brought Raka's baby.

But Ratna could still propose to Rama, "Rama, I understand your sorrow. I also haven't been able to detect the presence of Wewe Gombel carrying Raka's baby. But why don't you try to turn back time when you fell from the top of Hargo Dumilah? Although you can't change your destiny, at least you can know what happened to your family and baby Raka. "

Rama: "Is Ratna really? " (while changing her sitting style seems a bit excited again)

Ratna: "Yes Rama, you can go into that time and then see how even though you can not get close to Rama within a radius of 500 meters so that the world is not shaken because of the distortion of reality. "

Rama: (being excited) "Alright Ratna, immediately activate the time loop and location yes. "
