Marvel: So I'm A Supreme Being, So what?

Interlude-1: Threads of Myth and Reality

The professor soon moved on to another related topic having given a brief overview regarding the Arachnumecs and their beliefs.

He continued, "The legends of Shiraori and Nazarick, although unverifiable, have cast a long shadow over history. We find intriguing echoes of these myths in various cultures and belief systems around the world, even though we cannot definitively attribute and connect them to the ancient civilization of Arachnumec."

He clicked the remote, revealing a world map covered in a complex web of interconnected lines and symbols. "Throughout history, we see patterns that hint at the influence of these myths on other parts of the world."

He pointed to different regions on the map as he spoke. "In the far corners of Europe, for example, there are tales of mystical 'spider weavers' who were said to control destiny. While these stories are often considered folklore, they share a striking resemblance to the legends of Shiraori, the Spider Goddess.

The famous tales of vampires and such from years later also seem to have references to a spider goddess mysteriously similar to descriptions of Shiraori."

The professor then turned to an image of a majestic citadel with an eerie aura. "Nazarick, the fabled tomb of the Supreme Beings, finds its counterpart in various cultures' myths of otherworldly fortresses and realms that transcend mortal understanding. These fortresses often serve as the dwelling places of gods or powerful beings."

He shifted the focus to a slide displaying a diverse array of symbols, all bearing similarities to the spider motif. "The symbol of the spider itself, associated with Shiraori, appears in diverse religious and mystical traditions worldwide, hinting at a shared human fascination with the concept of weaving destiny."

The lecture hall buzzed with intrigue as students exchanged whispers about the global impact of these myths.

"Furthermore," Professor Simmons added, "there are records of secretive cults and organizations throughout history that venerated figures with powers reminiscent of those that appeared in the legends written down by the Arachnumecs. These groups often wielded esoteric knowledge and claimed to possess insights into the fabric of reality itself."

He advanced the slide, revealing enigmatic symbols and artifacts from different time periods. "While we cannot definitively connect these groups to Nazarick, Shiraori, or the Arachnumecs, the parallels are too striking to ignore.

It's as if these myths have transcended time and culture, leaving subtle imprints in the collective human consciousness."

The professor paused, surveying the rapt expressions of his students. "In essence, ladies and gentlemen, we find ourselves in a world where the line between myth and reality is blurred. The legends of Shiraori, Nazarick, and their cultists persist in the tapestry of human history, influencing beliefs, cultures, and even the course of events."

"As historians and explorers," he concluded this section with a sentence, "it is our duty to continue unravelling these enigmatic threads, to seek the truths that may lie hidden within the myths, and to understand the profound impact of these legends on our shared human story."

Professor Simmons continued, "As we delve deeper into the annals of history, we encounter tantalizing hints of interactions between the Arachnumec civilization, with its enigmatic myths of Shiraori and Nazarick, and other great cultures of the ancient world. These interactions, while shrouded in mystery, are nonetheless intriguing."

He gestured to a series of ancient artifacts on the screen, representing different civilizations. "In the pyramids of Egypt, we find relics adorned with symbols bearing a striking resemblance to those associated with Arachnumec.
