Chapter 842: Gods from Slavic

Onitsuka Kirihotaru: "During this period of time, our people have joined forces with experts in the fields of religion, folklore, and mysticism to conduct research on the symbol left by Ezaki Kazu and that appeared on the time scroll of the Utsushima Barbarian Woman. The specific research process is written in the report in your hand, Achuan."

"Preliminary speculation screened out many possible related symbols, but after careful elimination and further discussion and research, the scholars finally gave relatively consistent opinions - they all believed that this symbol should come from the ancient Slavic mythology system, called Krovlat."

According to the little witch, during the time when Kamiya Kawa devoted most of his energy to increasing his power in the ordinary world, the countermeasures room in the real world also did a lot of work.

Moreover, even Wu's future vision had not allowed him to see through the true identity of the "Izumizu Ugly Woman" before, but the Countermeasures Office concentrated its efforts and found some clues and leads for reference.

While listening to Onitsuka's brief description, Kamiyagawa continued to look through the materials in his hand to obtain more information related to "Klovrat".

According to the information, the word Klovrat is a pure transliteration, referring to the symbol itself and has no actual meaning.

It is also possible that the word "Klovrat" originally had a meaning, but due to its age, its true meaning has become impossible to verify and confirm.

This situation is related to the situation of Slavic culture and mythology itself.

Slavic mythology belongs to the dying mythological system——

The Slavs were originally one of the three major barbarian tribes in Europe.

Before the 10th century AD, the Slavic people had not formed a relatively unified centralized government, nor had a mature writing system, so the worship of gods was more in the form of word of mouth.

After the tenth century, with the strong invasion of Christian culture, the already fragmented Slavic pantheon was shattered.

Even the vast majority of Slavic original mythology materials that exist today were recorded and preserved by Christian missionaries who preached in Eastern Europe during this period.

In this way, the situation of Slavic mythology is similar to that of the Ainu mythology system in Japan, which was "dismembered" by Shintoism.

As for whether the destruction of the current mythological belief system will have some impact on the gods behind it, based on Kamiya Kawa's personal experience, there will be some impact.

After all, the faith base provided by humans in the modern world is huge and of high quality. The destruction and extinction of the mythological system in the modern world means that the ancient Slavic gods will no longer be able to obtain this resource. Without the faith supply provided by the modern world, it will definitely be more difficult to resist the invasion of the "God's Nest Projection" into the Slavic mythological world.

However, this kind of thing cannot be generalized.

For example, the myth of the Milky Ocean belongs to a mythological system that still has a huge supply of faith even in the present world. However, in reality, the gods of the Milky Ocean still perished because they could not resist the invasion of foreign nests.

"In any case, if the true identity of Izumizu Ugly Woman is really a god from Slavic mythology, then the Slavic mythological world behind her must no longer exist." Kamiyagawa thought.

Let’s look at this in conjunction with the “Xuzhou Barbarian Girl” incident.

The image of the "barbarian princess" recorded in this incident does not have an Asian face, so it is speculated that she may have drifted from Britain, Bengal or Russia. This is consistent with the conclusion that the symbol "Krovlat" comes from Slavic.

Let’s look at the information description of the symbol “Klovrat” itself.

The information in Kamiya's hand provides some reference images of Klovrat, a considerable part of which seem to be derived from unearthed ceramic artifacts, and there are some variant images.

For example, the central pattern is an image of two overlapping crosses, with a left-turning line extending from each end of the cross.

But no matter what variation it is, it cannot escape the basic concept of a "cross with left-turning spiral arms" in the center of the circular pattern. The only difference is the number of spiral arms.

As for the meaning of the Krovlat symbol, scholars who study Slavic culture today cannot reach a unified conclusion and there is constant controversy. There are currently three mainstream opinions and analyses:

Some believe that this image represents the wheel of a chariot.

Some also believe that this represents the elements of "air and water" in ancient alchemy.

Others believe it symbolizes the cycle of life and rebirth.

Combining the information in Kamiya's hand, Onitsuka Kirihota continued to explain:

"At present, we can only roughly determine that the true identity of the so-called 'Occult Hour of the Pig' and the 'Impostor' is a god in Slavic mythology, or at least something similar to a god. After the destruction of the Slavic mythology world, he survived by chance, and by chance came to Japan with the help of the virtual ship, and then joined the forces of Huangquan, and then began to act under the name of a new god, that is, Izumizu Uguniu."

"However, there is a contradiction in this speculation. The incident of the Uzumaki Barbarian Woman is recorded as occurring during the Edo period. But if Haishi is really the Izumizu Uzumaki, she should have come to Japan much earlier."

"If the inference is correct, then there are only two explanations for this contradiction -"

"One is the incident of the Uzumaki Barbarian Woman, which actually happened in an even older era, and there are certain errors in the stories about this incident. In other words, the fact that the story happened in the Heian period is itself an allusion by later people to an even older story."

"Another possibility is that there may be another Izumizu Uzumaki in Japan. This Yomizu god itself perished in the subsequent war of gods, and later arrived in Japan at Haishi and inherited the name of the fallen old god in some way. For example, it accepted the god bones that originally belonged to Izumizu Uzumaki."

Through this, I learned quite a lot about the current situation from Kamiya. The little witch's summary was relatively comprehensive and clearly organized.

"Well, from the current perspective, this is indeed a possibility." Kamiya nodded.

He felt that Ying's logical ability was always online, and she was often right on target when analyzing events.

Following this conjecture, let’s review the past experiences during the Hour of Hai——

Not only did he escape the destruction of his own mythological world, he also survived the subsequent tragic war between gods in Izumo until now...

What is the ultimate king of endurance?

It's so long-lived, its vitality is so strong.

"Because the Crofrat symbol is clearly associated with the Hour of Hai, we now speculate that this symbol is related to His former authority. Combining the current analysis of the three meanings of the Crofrat symbol, we have made some speculations about His former true identity—"

Onizuka continued speaking, and raised three slender white fingers and gently shook them in front of Kamiyagawa.

"First, the god of war who symbolizes the wheels of the chariot. The supreme god Sventovit in Slavic mythology, as well as the 'three-faced' Triglav, both have strong beliefs in the god of war. However, considering Haishi's style of doing things, I think it is unlikely that he was originally the god of war."

"Second, the god of magic who symbolizes the element of alchemy. Currently, there are only two Slavic gods whose names are known. Zanielza, who is a black dragon and the source of magic, and Baba Yaga, the witch of death and chicken feet."

"Third, the goddess of fertility, Siva, who symbolizes the cycle of life."

"In addition, it is possible that he is an ancient Slavic god or mythical creature whose name has been passed down. Among the existing speculations, I personally prefer that Hai Shi's true identity is Siva, the goddess of fertility."

"You mean reproduction." Kamiyagawa thought about what Onizuka said and soon understood the latter's train of thought. "Hai Shi changes his identity by cutting open the victim's abdomen from the inside... Hotaru, do you think this behavior symbolizes reproduction? Uh... He 'gave birth' to himself from the victim's body?"

"I do think so." Onizuka nodded.

Well, this interpretation of "reproduction" is really too scary and weird.

However, there is indeed a possibility.

Moreover, compared to the Supreme God Sventovit, the Source of Magic Zanielcha and the like, these gods give people the impression of being of extremely high quality at first glance.

It is indeed inconsistent with the tone of what is done during the hour of Hai.

In comparison, the level of "Baba Yaga, the Witch of Death and Chicken Feet" and "Siva, the Goddess of Fertility" are more in line with the Hour of Hai.

Also, Shen Gu had just felt that Haishi's vitality was extremely tenacious. His true identity might not be the most capable fighter among the old Slavic gods, but he must be the one who could survive the longest.

Thinking about it this way, the possibility that He is Siva, the goddess of fertility who symbolizes the cycle of life increases a little.

Kamiyagawa: "So, this is all the information we have about the Hour of the Pig, right?"

Onitsuka Kiri Hotaru: "That's right. The Countermeasures Office is investigating the fertility goddess Siva, but there are too few records of Slavic mythology to be found, so it is impossible to confirm the extent of our research."

By knowing the true identity of Haishi or Quanjin Ugly Woman, we can at least know ourselves and our enemy. If we are lucky, we may even be able to go a step further and find Haishi's current hiding place in advance.

Even though Wu’s “future vision” couldn’t even detect that place, it couldn’t be said that it was definitely impossible to find it.

Kamiya trusts Wu unconditionally, but he will not rely on Wu completely.

In short, the investigation currently being conducted by the Countermeasures Office is beneficial and harmless.

"Hina, gather the people investigating these things together as much as possible. I will arrange for people to guard and protect the relevant personnel." Kamiya Kawa put down the information in his hand and said, "Contact me at any time if there is any progress. Also, you have to be more careful."

As he spoke, he raised his right hand and made a feint motion.

A thin and bright red thread floated out from his wrist and connected with Onitsuka's wrist.

"I understand."

Onitsuka felt the pulse-like throbbing sensation coming from his wrist and nodded seriously.

"Then next..." Kamiya Kawa stood up from the sofa, "To be on the safe side, I need to examine you."

"examine?"

Onitsuka watched Kamiyagawa lock the office door and draw the curtains tight with a bang, feeling a little confused.

"Yes, relax. Now, turn around..."

"Okay... well..."

In the dim room, the bright red rope that tied the two people together tightened and loosened, floating in the air.

However, Kamiyakawa's personal "physical examination" level is not very high, mainly focusing on the mental and breath levels. As for the strength of flesh and blood, he has a more professional flesh and blood doctor under his command.

So, Onitsuka followed Kamiya's instructions and worked hard for a while.

In the end, the latter chose to spend more time and summoned the foot-selling grandmother to the real world after several twists and turns... (End of this chapter)
