Chapter 296: Spirits and Gods

The individuals present were all social elites. Even if they did not specialize in the study of history and mythology, they nevertheless knew some elements of Celtic mythology.

At this time, the study of natural sciences did not prove useful. Rather, the humanities and the occult flourished in popularity and interest.

A number of experts muttered and argued with each other. The rest of the people quietly watched as they argued. In the end, only the Cambridge University professor’s words stood out.

The old man looked excited. For scholars who studied history and mythology, nothing would make them happier than seeing their legends come to life.

“Your Majesty, Your Excellency the Prime Minister, I would like to make a statement first. Celtic mythology has not been too widespread due to a lack of records. I can only roughly divide the records into five parts. The first is the Mythological Cycle which tells of five invasions of Ireland that were paramount in the forming of the country. The second is the battle between the Tuatha De Dannan and the Fomorians, the giants of the deep seas. The third is the Ulster Cycle of Cu Chulainn and other heroes. The fourth is the Fenian Cycle that focuses on the story of Fionn Mac Cumhaill and Fianna. And the fifth is the legend of King Arthur.”

“The Tuatha De Dannan called themselves the defeated. It is possible that this has some relation to Judaism and early Christianity. There is a record of battles in the Bible after the Great Flood happened. Some interpretations hold that the participants of the battle were Noah’s sons and that the grounds of some of these battles were in Celtic territories.”

The Cambridge professor was clearly clustered with excitement as he spoke.

Another member of the academia followed up, “Your interpretation is sound, professor. Legend has it that the Lord, Jesus Christ, came to the island of Avalon with Joseph of Arimathea and built the first Christian Church of England on that island. Avalon should be a very important place in Celtic mythology, right? To have a church built on such an important place would mean that the Celtic gods were losing their battle with the Lord.”

This speaker, who was Christian, sounded pious and proud as a believer of Christ. After all, it was a drama of Christ’s victory against those ‘foreign gods’.

“Indeed. Avalon in Celtic mythology is the realm of bliss similar to the Garden of Eden written in the Bible. From the superhumans that appeared in Japan, we have learned that these mythological figures are in another world. Recently, for some reason, they were able to come to this world, our planet. In Celtic mythology, it’s also said that the gods live on the ‘Reverse Side of the World’. This ‘Reverse Side of the World’ should be what the Celtic gods call the side of the world where Avalon and the gods are in.”

Everyone in the room listened carefully to the elites talking about spirits and gods.

“What I want to know more is if this Connacht Rhys is a real god or not? What are his goals? As well as what effect it will have on Great Britain?”

The Prime Minister spoke out at the right time, interrupting the professor from continuing his obsession. He directly voiced his concern for the temporal implications of the matter.

“As for whether he is a real god or not, we would have to discuss it in detail. Remember about the event that happened in Tokyo. The old man who is said to have lived six hundred years ago showed strength that would have been called god-like in ancient times.”

The Cambridge professor added.

The Prime Minister and other officials looked at each other. They nodded their heads and said, “If it was in ancient times where a lot of people are ignorant, then he would definitely be called a god.”

“Yes. That is the meaning that I want to convey. In our opinion, that old man is no different from a god, but he only claims to be an alchemist and respects the gods. It is to the point that he invoked a god called the Torch Dragon and showed us a miracle.”

“Previously, I have already discussed with the experts here, and from the information, we have concluded that Christ, Danu, or beings like Fuxi and Nuwa of Eastern mythology could be called gods. This Connacht Rhys should only be considered a descendant of Danu. To make it easier to understand, he can be considered as an angel of god.”

A few words from the professor made it clear for everyone in the room. Perhaps there were only a few real gods and these very powerful people who had supernatural powers who served Gods and had statuses as angels.

But even if he was just an angel, would mortal technology be able to go against him? After all, the sight of the old Chinese man blasting through a thermobaric explosion was still fresh in their minds.

“So if this Connaught Ryhs causes trouble, can we fight him?”

A senior officer of the military couldn’t help but ask.

“Sorry, sir. I can’t give you an answer unless we try it without tanks, but I have to remind you that there are many depictions of Celts that present them as bloodthirsty, crazy, drunk, and promiscuous with women.”

“A bunch of barbarians. They should be punished by our Lord so that they know what civilization is.”

Hearing the professor’s words, a religious man cursed.

The crowd listened and nodded secretly. Leaving aside the Darkness of the Church during the Medieval Age as that was ultimately caused by humans, the victory of Christ over the Celtic gods was close to a victory of civilization over barbarism. In the world of San Soliel, it was a victory of order over chaos.

“What is that fairy?” the Queen asked.

“Your Majesty, if this creature really is Moronoe, then she should not be called a fairy or a demoness, but the fairy queen. I think we all know the story of Vivian and Merlin. In truth, Vivian was only the ruler of the fairies of the lake on Avalon Island, and the true rulers of Avalon are the nine sorceresses. Moronoe was one of the nine fairy queens, and the leader of them was Morgan.”

The professor was getting more and more excited as he chatted away, “Celtic mythology has mostly been erased because of Christianity, and as a result, only a few records remain. The records are also incoherent. In the ancient country of Connaught, the Queen Meave started a war in order to steal Ulster’s prize stud bull, Donn Cúailnge, whilst Cu Chulainn stood against her army single-handedly in the famous Táin Bó Cúailnge ("Cattle Raid of Cooley").”

“Druids were the bridge between the Celtic people and the gods. According to current parlance, they can be called witches. It is said that the gods had informed the druids and the druids informed the queen. At this point, it might seem that the god is this god, Connacht Rhys.”

“Cu Chulainn is the illegitimate son of the Irish God of Light, Lugh. He is also the last generation of the Tuatha De Dannan and equivalent to Zeus in Greek mythology. Maeve was a mortal who dared to go against the illegitimate son of the god-King, but she also had the support of the Tuatha De Danann. So, her behavior and character could be explained. It is also possible that she is the lover of this god.”

“It seems that the Tuatha De Dannan is against each other, otherwise how could a god want to kill the illegitimate son of the god-king!”

The professor entered his own world and began brainstorming about Tuatha De Dannan’s internal politics. He wished he could just grab a pen and paper to list down the entire Celtic mythology that he knew to its complete capacity.

“I’d like to have a good chat with this Celtic god.”

The Cambridge professor closed with these words.

But the others in the meeting could not understand his feelings. For these political and military circles, they didn’t care about the gods or about Celtic mythology. What they were pondering about was what these Celtic gods would bring to them, as well as the consequences of coming into contact with them.
