The North, the Wall, Spatiotemporal Illusion
"The memories within your soul fascinate me. Although your world has also entered the countdown to destruction, certain thoughts and conjectures within it have given me great inspiration."
The future rule, incarnated as the holy stone, seemed very excited, because with the help of Jon's hand, it had now become purer.
"Your appearance has carved out a completely different future among countless timelines, a future that does not belong at all to the one woven by those two fellows. This is my hope, and it is your hope."
"You've said so much, but what can actually be done? Don't tell me you still have some ultimate move you haven't released?"
Jon was somewhat helpless toward this excited fellow. Although he didn't know where this was, he was very clear that the power of rules representing the past and the present should be stronger now.
"I have left many hidden hands in this world, and now is the time for me to prove it to you!"
The future rule did not get angry at Jon's urging; instead, it emitted a golden light before Jon with some pride.
"Although humans have various flaws, they can create brilliant light in a short amount of time. Their incredibly powerful willpower is the key to my success. Eternal and perfect creatures like the Children of the Forest and elves would only make this world dull and tasteless."
After hearing the future rule's explanation, Jon seemed to associate it with something, so he asked tentatively:
"Are you talking about the so-called Ascension through Faith!?"
"I knew you would understand. Yes! It is Ascension through Faith. When the power of those strong wills gathers on my body, I can combine it with my rule power to reach that topmost position in one leap."
As the words fell, the holy stone in front of Jon directly merged into Jon's body. With the entry of the holy stone, the space in front of Jon shattered.
Crack…
Following a series of sounds like a mirror breaking, Jon's body transformed into a massive golden phantom, and he appeared within a colossal building.
"The Seven are…"
"The Seven above!!"
"Look…"
…Meanwhile, in the prayer hall of the Great Sept of Baelor, the High Septon, the Shepherd, was leading his subordinate septons in prayer. Just as he was preparing to preach the doctrine, upon the magnificent altar…
A massive seven-pointed star appeared directly before everyone's eyes. It was an eerie humanoid aggregate composed of a seven-pointed star.
At the main point of the seven-pointed star, a giant cloaked skeleton man watched them quietly. Beside it were the images of the Father, the Mother, the Crone, the Smith, the Warrior, and the Maiden.
This suddenly appearing giant seven-pointed star and the corresponding images upon it were exactly the same as the Seven they had always been praying to. It was precisely because of the appearance of this giant seven-pointed star that the praying septons became excited.
"Now it's up to you! I only know how to execute power. 'Hoodwinking,' is that the word?"
Just as Jon was staring blankly at the people below, the voice of the future rule appeared directly in his consciousness.
"To obtain power, one must absorb the faith of the believers. I don't quite understand this business of communicating and interacting with them, so I can only leave it to you."
"Wha… What!?"
After hearing the future rule's words, Jon was unable to react for a moment and was stunned on the spot.
"Right, you don't need to worry about the battle at the Wall. I have already trapped those two fellows in other timelines. The power of the magic dragon is truly useful, so we must hurry and accumulate power now. We must gather enough strength before they return."
After hearing the future rule's words, Jon finally recovered from his surprise.
"Why don't you do it? Why make me do it! I don't understand these things either!"
"Because my current consciousness all originates from yours. To some extent, I am an existence born from you. These things can only be done by you; I am merely the manifestation of the rule power."
Unsure whether what this fellow said was true or false, Jon could only begin his performance with half-skepticism.
"O lost believers! The horn of doomsday has sounded, and the piercing cold winds of the north have appeared. Demons that have broken the rules have appeared outside the Wall; they are beings that have walked out of the Seven Hells. I need your strength!"
With the help of the future rule, Jon's voice became high-pitched and profound, making the people below feel as if someone was speaking directly inside their minds.
"Are… Are you seeking our help?"
Jon's words left the septons below unsure of what to do for a moment, until the Shepherd stuttered out this sentence.
"No! My believers, I am helping you. Since my messenger brought you to this promised land, I have been guarding you, and now is the time for you to offer your strength!"
Seeing that the people below were not so easy to hoodwink, Jon changed his approach. At the same time, he spoke to a certain fellow in his mind:
"Can you find a way to display the situation in the north? That's the only way to better implement our plan."
"Understood!"
As the future rule's power descended, the entire altar was immediately plunged into a scene of ice and snow. Just as the septons were filled with surprise, the cold wind directly carried wights and rushed toward them.
"Help!"
"Seven Hells! What are these things?"
"Seven save me…"
"Neither demons, lost souls, nor ghosts can harm those who devoutly believe in the Seven!"
…This suddenly emerging terrifying scene nearly scared the septons present to death. However, there were still some devout souls who showed no fear. When those wights were about to attack them, they even began to recite the seven-pointed star.
"Aaaah…"
Crack…
"Are these real?"
"Help…"
…Looking at the scene of crying and wailing below, Jon was also startled.
"Holy crap! You're doing it for real! Couldn't you just create some illusions to scare them? Playing it like this, do you want to kill them all?"
"Isn't there a saying where you're from: 'One does not shed a tear until one sees the coffin'?"
After hearing the other's answer, Jon finally understood why the future rule had insisted on letting him hoodwink these people.
"Quickly send these wights back, and heal all those people's injuries!"
"Alright!"
Upon hearing Jon's words, that fellow immediately moved. Its actions were very fast, so fast that Jon couldn't tell if this fellow was doing it on purpose or truly didn't understand.
With the future rule's intervention, the wights on the altar quickly disappeared. The bitten septons were groaning piteously; a few unlucky ones had very severe injuries, and blood wouldn't stop flowing.
Just then, the stone statue of the Maiden in the hall suddenly lit up with a golden glow. Immediately after, a beautiful maiden carrying a fragrant floral scent appeared before everyone.
She was a beautiful girl with red hair, her figure graceful and full of vitality. Carrying the scent of flowers, she quickly attracted the gazes of the septons in the hall.
"Oh! My Seven!"
"I'm actually healed…"
"The Seven above!"
"The Seven have truly shown a miracle!"
…After walking to the injured septons, the maiden quietly kissed each of them on the forehead. Immediately, the septons who had just been whimpering quickly recovered, their wounds healed.
"Venerable Seven! What should we ignorant mortals do?"
After this series of maneuvers, these fellows finally believed Jon's words and began to kneel toward Jon's position. Many even knelt on both knees. One must know that in the Faith of the Seven, kneeling on both knees represents atonement.
"Is this enough?"
After saying this to the future rule in his mind, Jon felt thread-like things connecting to him from the bodies of these septons.
"It really is just like in your memories. As long as a miracle and a true form are shown before them, they will offer up their faith and souls without reservation. Humans really are a very miraculous species!"
After hearing the future rule's exclamation, Jon also felt a surge of some kind of power. This power was completely different from what he had used before; it was a higher-order sensation.
"Can you feel it? This power is the higher-order power I spoke of. You can try it now; you might even succeed directly."
Just as Jon was experiencing that mysterious and profound feeling, the somewhat excited words of the future rule appeared in Jon's ear.
"Then I'll give it a try!"
After searching through the memories in his mind, Jon finally settled on a special creature. If he could summon it, he might be able to create a holy relic belonging to the Faith of the Seven.
Whinny…
Thus, very quickly, under the astonished gazes of the septons, a white horse with a single horn suddenly appeared upon the altar.
Its mane and tail were rainbow-colored, and when its hooves stepped on the ground, golden specks of light seemed to overflow.
"As a reward for your devotion, this Rainbow Unicorn shall guard this Sept in my stead. Remember, after touching the single horn, no one can tell a lie!"
After leaving these words, Jon hurried to the next location. Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in the Shepherd's eyes.
