Telepathy: a Blessing or a Curse
Chapter 10 - God and Goddess

“But now, that's not what matters young people. You already know about the Extractors, don't you? “, ask the old man.

“Yes, I know that they are all Immortal. And only they can awaken our core abilities”.

“Only that?”, reply.

“I also know that the Extractor that pulled out the abilities possessed by Brother Anton and my brother is in America. I have to go there if I want to awaken other abilities that are still hidden in me, which I also do not know what is”.

“There again?”

The old grandfather kept asking me short questions, which made me keep bringing out what was on my mind at the moment.

“That's all I remember, old man. Sorry, I don't really remember that.”.

“Well little boy, I'll tell you another story about those Extractors. The extractors you know there are four, right? What if I told you that they're not just four? But there are hundreds”.

“Ratusan?! Then why did brother Anton just tell you that there are only four cake extractors?”, I asked.

“Now there are only four. But once, far in the past, their number was hundreds”, he explained.

“Then what happened to them?”

“Before I answer, what do you think of eternal life? With the same memory and will not be lost, and you will never be able to forget”.

In my heart I said, “The obvious question is the answer”.

I answered the old man's question.

“It seems like almost all humans have such a dream. Surely no one would resist if they could become like that, becoming immortal. Maybe, they even dare to exchange all their possessions or even sacrifice others to get it, there are people like that”, I explained.

“You cannot fault little boy, but did you know that those who are immortal are tired and want to disappear from this world?”, he replied.

Huh huh? What would the old man say?

“They've seen too much suffering from the humans in this world. Countless number of deaths and misfortunes they had seen and experienced, many of them bored. So one day, they all agreed on something”.

“What is it?”, I asked the old man.

“They all intend to give up their immortality status and live life like an ordinary human”, the grandfather replied to my question quickly.

“But why are there still four cakes left?”

“Because there is something they are not aware of”.

I was amazed, too, because I did not expect that it would be so soon that the old man answered the question I was asking.

“One thing? What is it?”, the more questions I ask the old man.

“That the balance of this world will be lost, because no one else controls the special terrain”, the old man replied.

My curiosity for reality grew bigger and I gave my opinion to the old man.

“Isn't there any Blessed? Can't they keep that special terrain? Examples such as making monuments and buildings to hold out and control the terrain?”

Shortly after, the old man issued a statement that left me speechless.

“Then, the Blessed did not exist. There are only Extractors that at that time can be said as, para ‘Dewa’ and ‘Dewi’ ”.

"Blessed exists because the Extractor needs help to keep the special terrain, as you know the world is vast".

Grandpa's statement surprised me, this is the new information I got.

I want to know more, and more clearly.
