The Bright Cross Mural first appears in Volume 2 as a vivid, colored depiction of a mountain range crowned by a brilliant cross, flanked by angels and two distinctive infants who record the divine succession. Across the series, the mural evolves from a static religious icon into a living chronicle whose imagery shifts in tandem with the changing balance of power among the Seven Gods and the emerging pathways of the Beyonders. Its two infants, initially portrayed as mere witnesses, gradually become active participants in the unfolding cosmic drama, their recorded lineage serving as both prophecy and historical record. By later volumes, the mural’s brilliance dims or intensifies depending on the ascendancy of the Orthodox Churches, making it a barometer of metaphysical legitimacy and the struggle for the divine throne.
