The Man of the Future

Chapter 22 (Kasandra, Goddess of the Old Turtle)

Nel continued to run at high speed towards the east regardless of the surrounding state at all.

Until suddenly Nel's shoulder was patted by someone. After first taking Jean off his shoulders. Which shocked Nel, and stopped his running.

The New Gura-Gura member number 14 was very surprised. After he found out who was patting his shoulder earlier. Until his shoulder really felt excruciating pain.

"You!, Kasandra...!, The Seer Goddess of the Old Gura-Gura?" asked Nel, full of her fear. Seeing the beauty of Kasandra who is now in front of him.

"You're right, I'm Kasandra" he said, taking off the rope that bound Jean's body, with his left hand.

His face looks exactly the same as Jean's. But it looks a little more mature. With a wide-collared shirt, orange. His hair was brownish black shoulder. With the outside of his hair was twisted with 3 strands of peacock feathers. While the inside is allowed to unravel.

"Grandmother!, I finally found you too," said Jean, then got up, and smiled at the cold-looking Kasandra.

"It wasn't you who found me, but I was the one who found you, Jean." he replied firmly.

"Wow!, beautiful and authoritative grandmother. Come fight with me!" nel challenged Kasandra. Who seemed uninterested in serving the challenge of Nel.

"Just lower myself, if I fight with you. I was represented by my grandson. To face yourself as a representative of Dran" Kasandra replied.

"But your grandson has already lost!?" nel said, with a little scream.

 

"That was, but after this there was no way that you could defeat him" said Kasandra, then took out a needle from inside his right palm, which numbered 4 pieces.

Then he approached Jean, slowly but surely.

"Jean, don't resist like your mother. Your power will be increased, in order to keep yourself from chasing the New Guests who are stronger than him. And to face her, beat her for me" said Kasandra, staring intently at Jean.

"I believe what Grandma did was the best for me. So do it now" replied Jean.

Kasandra's right hand turned to Jean.

4 The needles were then floated towards Jean. 2 the needles pierced and went into Jean's left and right shoulders. 2 More needles went into Jean's left and right calves. After the 4 needles entered Jean's body. Jean felt her body shivering violently. Until he had to sit on the ground. Because of the effect of the entry of 4 needles into his body.

"Grandmother, what happened to me?" jean asked Kasandra, with a shivering voice.

"Jean, I can't hurt you. It was the reaction of the 4 needles. 5 minutes later your condition will gradually recover, and you will feel a very significant increase in strength. Compared to the present. Although not as great as Er Well you later, at least your strength is only 1 level below Er Well," explained Kasandra then turned to look at Nel sharply. Especially at the New Gura-Gura mark on his forehead.

"Oh, apparently you're one of the 14 babies that Dran took care of, and were given such a sign 50 years ago. By the time the Old Gura-Gura will disperse. It turned out that he had truly manifested his greatest obsession. To form the New Guests. Which is very extreme with Old Gura-Gura," said Kasandra. Imagine what happened 50 years ago.

"Where have you been all this time?, just knowing the development of the New Turtle and the current Mr. Dran. You should know that 4 of the 14 babies were dead.2 were killed by Er Well, while they were on duty to bring Jeni, your clone. To be a personal fortune teller Mr. Dran. Unfortunately, she and her husband resisted, and they had to kill her 10 years ago" Nel explained, then looked up at Jean and resumed her speech.

"So they wanted to bring the girl. But Er Well came with her foster son. Then killed 2 of my friends. 2 of my friends again, replaced by 2 Robot Kings from Mars and the Moon, after they killed 2 of my friends, after they killed 2 of my friends, 20 Years ago, 1 more baby went missing at the age of 1 year. And not 14 of the members of the New Gura-Gura, but 18. There are now 13 living people. Now Mr. Dran, order us to recruit 5 new members. One of them is Jean, your favorite granddaughter," explained Nel, at length.

"Not that I don't know about any of that. I just don't want to know, and I don't care about any of it. You don't know yet, if 3 of your friends. It is ruled by Dran. To arrest the replacement members of the New Gura-Gura. Has quit the New Gura-Gura membership. The three of them will be residents of Mount Well" Kasandra said seriously. Who had seen the incident at a glance, with his sky eyes.

"Surely, it's just your prophecy...?" nel said, with a cynic.

"In addition to forecasting, my eyes can see clearly up to a distance of 1000 km. They are now heading to Mount Well" explained Kasandra.

Nel then fell silent, only to notice Jean beginning to return to her normal state. Jean seemed to get up, then walked a few steps closer, and stopped beside her Grandma.

"I've recovered, even feeling much stronger than before, Grandma. Now I'll take revenge, on you. New Guests number 14...!" jean said, then attacked suddenly Nel, who fortunately sprightly.

His right hand he clenched and intended to hit the body of Nel, who immediately avoided Jean's attack which only hit the ground, until it created a hole as deep as 1 meter. With the tremors of the Earth shaking violently.

Seeing Nel can dodge his attack. Jean immediately runs after Nel, who immediately runs to avoid Jean, who has now become much stronger than before.

"It's beyond my prediction, that girl has become so powerful. I can't possibly win if I fight him from close range. Kasandra is indeed a legend of the Old Gura-Gura. It only took him 5 minutes to increase the power of this Little Girl. Does Mr Dran have such a technique, huh?. I became interested in such a technique, becoming strong in a short time," Nel said in his heart, running away, unaware that Jean was in his presence.

"Where else do you want to run, Gura-Gura Baru...., number 14!?" said Jean, who made Nel have to stop the run.

"I ran, it just wanted to get you away from your grandmother. So that you, can not ask for help from your grandmother again, when you lose like before," said Nel, with that reason.

"I think that's just your excuse, honestly you're now afraid of my power" Jean said, then attacked Nel again.

His hand hit me here and there. Until finally his punch hit Nel's stomach. This time, he actually fell to the ground, with tremendous pain. What he felt in his stomach.

"His kick was very different from the one before. Looks like, this time I had to use my gun to immobilize her," Nel said, then got up and took her gun from inside her scabbard, which was on her right waist. He pointed the gun at Jean, who was 5 meters away.

A bullet came out of the muzzle of the gun, then shot towards Jean who looked calm. Jean's left hand held the gun open with her shen. Then he turned the bullet towards Nel, who had not expected it to happen. Eventually, the bullet penetrated his heart.

"You're great, Astrologer Girl. I've lost to you" said Nel, then fell to the ground and died.

"Finally, I was able to kill 1 member of the New Turtle, with my own hands." Jean said. With a tone filled with vengeance.

"Are you satisfied with your revenge, Jean?" asked Kasandra, who was suddenly behind Jean.

"I'm not satisfied, Grandma. Before me, it can kill all the members of the New Gura-Gura," Jean replied by restraining her emotions.

"You only keep the disease in your heart. Revenge is not good Jean, throw it away from your heart." Kasandra advised her granddaughter.

"Can't!, does Grandma not feel. How hurt we are when we lose someone we love. Or maybe Grandma doesn't love my Dad and my mom?" asked Jean with emotion.

Kasandra looked calm with Jean's words. Who accused him of that. Apparently, he's 100 years old. He has given himself a lot of life experience.

"I have my own way of loving them both. I want them both back to life. Therefore, I learned the science of being able to bring the dead to life. But the problem is that until now, I have not been able to master that science. You know, I'm actually very worried in my life. I fear first being picked up by death, before mastering that knowledge. I am chasing time. Counting every year of my age, which keeps growing. To be reduced," Kasandra looked towards the sky. It was as if he was looking at something in the sky.

"Even though I look young like this, thanks to the level of shen I'm good at. But when I use my shen to the fullest, then a few minutes later. My true 100-year-old form will be visible, and will last for several hours. And then it's growing again like this gradually, as I recover the shen I've been using it. And this will happen to the other members of the Old Gura-Gura. No one can escape the process of true mastery, me and the other members of Old Gura\-Gura. Can only hide. But luckily until now, the five of us have never used our strength to the fullest. If until that happens, surely our 100-year-old form is very unpleasant to look at" explained Kasandra at length.

"But I want revenge, Grandma...BUT I WANT REVENGE, GRANDMA..!" jean said, out loud.

"You should know Jean. Even though you're stronger now than ever. But as for the size of the New Gura-Gura, you are at the yellow level at the most. So you better make peace with your heart and yourself" said Kasandra, looking at the Moon in the sky, which began to appear in the twilight of the day.

Jean seemed silent at the thought of all the words from her grandmother.

"Right Grandma said, naively I could kill all the members of the New Gura-Gura. Grandma too, notya used to be also a member of the Old Gura-Gura. Which members I don't know anyone for sure. Because I find it very difficult to extract information from Grandma about her past. Or is he, lest he have a past relationship with my mother's corpse thief?. I'm going to ask you that now, rather than speculating myself, in my heart and in my mind" Jean said in her heart.

"Grandmother, actually anyone 5 members of the Old Gura-Gura in addition to Grandma, Grandpa Well and Dran. Who is now the Chairman of the New Gura-Gura?" jean asks Kasandra to tell him about her past.

"Later you will know for yourself, who are my 2 old friends. But for sure we have never been in contact with each other again, since 50 years ago. Why do you ask me that, have you ever met someone as powerful as me?" answer and ask Kasandra.

"Yes, I once met a person who had strength far above Grandma's. I thought he was the New Turtle Leader. But he said 'no' firmly. He said as well, even though the 5 members of the Old Gura-Gura joined in and ganged himself. You guys are still no match for him. He is the champion" said Jean as if exaggerating his words.

Kasandara smiled at Jean's story.

"Possibly, the truth of his speech could be held. At present the number of humans may live 10 million souls throughout the Earth. They live scattered to avoid the massacre carried out by the New Turtle group and the attack of the robotic forces of Mars and the Moon, who want to rule the Earth. Today there is no such thing as a country. There are only towns or villages on the ground. Maybe the person you met was from a village in the ground. If he has that much power, then what does that have to do with me?" Kasandra.

"He stole the mother's coffin, along with the body," replied Jean, to Kasandra's surprise.

"Why did he do that?" asked Kasandra, with full investigation.

"To be revived, and made his personal fortune teller," replied Jean, which made Kasandra curious.

"I wonder who that person is?, because the only one who has the knowledge to bring the dead to life is my teacher, who disappeared 80 years ago. All right, I'm gonna read some of your brain memory, Jean. Lead me, when you meet that person," Kasandra then puts her hand on Jean's forehead, and her eyes turn blue. He read and saw what Jean saw. When he met the thief his cloned corpse.

"You're dead and you're still suffering, Jeni. Until your body must be stolen by someone I do not know and have the ability and power above me, to be his abdication" Kasandra said. Then she took her hand off Jean's forehead, and her eyes turned brown again.

"No, and his words are true. The five of us are no match for him. His strength is above us, even our five teachers" Kasandra replied.

"Then, is Grandma going after that guy?" ask Jean back.

"What am I going after him for. If who he is and where he is I don't know at all. Maybe Jeni better be turned on by herself, than by me. Which I don't know until when I can master the science," said Kasandra still looking towards the Moon which is increasingly visible in the sky.

"I am currently focusing more on the survival of human life on Earth today, which only amounts to 10 million people. The same number of major cities in the 21st century. In fact, although the number continues to decline from century to century. But at least 100 years ago when I was born, he said the population of the Earth was still 1 billion. When I was 1 year old, robots attacked Earth, the Moon and Mars. Colonies of the Moon and Mars can be ruled by them, until now. A small percentage of the survivors survived the event, then returned to Earth. Who is no less chaotic his firepower. Until the population lives 100 million people due to the slaughter by the robots. 98 years ago, the robot troops settled on the Moon and Mars," Kasandra stopped his speech for a moment, then continued.

"30 years ago they attacked Earth again, but were repulsed by the Well family. But the number of people is decreasing by 20 million. Now they attacked again, coupled with the massacre by the members of the New Turtle. I estimate they are 10 million. I can't stay still, seeing this. I will destroy their power center on the Moon. Which was laid by their ancestors. Because only in this way, the robots will self-destruct. If it destroys them one by one like this. I think it's useless, because the number of them seems unlimited," said Kasandra, more steadily staring towards the Moon which is increasingly visible in the sky, because the Sun is dimming in the sky.

"I'm coming, Grandma." said Jean.

"You still need oxygen to live. As for my class, there is or is no oxygen. I can still live. You better continue your journey and your destination to Mount Well. I want to be more useful to the world, in this age of my weapons. See you later, my beautiful granddaughter" said Kasandra, then floated in the air and finally flew to the Moon.

"When will I be like her, the Goddess of the Old Turtle" said Jean. Then continue the journey back, heading to Mount Well. Followed by the sun sinking in the western horizon.
