Sethos looked at the Sky Screen's assessment of his grandfather and revealed a smile.
"To receive such an evaluation, Grandfather would surely be very happy."
Tighnari patted Sethos on the shoulder and smiled at him.
"He certainly would be!"
As people who had lived through those events, Sethos and Cyno now viewed the matter from the perspective of bystanders, and they felt differently about it.
"That incident? I still vaguely remember the pain of the Ba-Ling experiment, but I have never blamed anyone. Being able to meet my teacher must be the luckiest thing that has ever happened to me."
However, many people on the Douluo Continent could not understand what was being presented on the Sky Screen.
Like Sethos, giving up the power of a god so easily was simply impossible for the spirit masters of the Douluo Continent.
Whoever obtained the power of a god would surely hold it firmly in their hands; there was no logic in giving it away.
Perhaps the elders of Martial Soul Hall or the Seven Holy Pillar Guardians of Sea God Island, as believers in gods, could understand it a little, but if they were truly forced to choose, it would still be very difficult for them to abandon the power of a god.
In Martial Soul City, Scaramouche was also watching the Sky Screen with great interest. As a member of the Haravatat who studied history, he had naturally read about the history of the City of Tulaytullah and the Temple of Silence.
He just hadn't expected that there was such a story behind the Temple of Silence's return to the Akademiya.
"Quite interesting. Although he obtained the complete Ba-Ling, he was always a mortal relying on the power of a demon god, unable to reach the original heights of Hermanubis."
"I am also a bit curious now as to what reward this Sky Screen will give to this General Mahamatra."
The image on the Sky Screen had slowly faded, but at the very end, it displayed one last picture: a young Cyno dozing off with a young Cyrus by his side.
The young Cyrus was still quite handsome, and the young Cyno was very cute; the contrast between the two created a sense of charm.
"Cyno as a child... I really miss those days."
Tighnari looked at the image on the Sky Screen and smiled knowingly, while Sethos remarked, "Heh, Cyno must be feeling very awkward right now."
Cyno was indeed quite embarrassed; he covered his forehead with his hand, his face full of helplessness.
"You are the Sky Screen, not a tombstone. Is this what the Grand Sage calls 'social death'? Sigh! I'd better not go out for a while."
As the final image vanished, the Sky Screen began its evaluation of Cyno.
[He is a righteous General Mahamatra, a friend worth relying on, and a reassuring teammate.]
[He holds his own sense of justice in his heart and does not execute rules dogmatically, but do not think you can slip past him.]
[Extenuating circumstances do not mean the crime is unforgivable; he will not pardon your crimes out of sympathy. That crimes must be judged is the conviction he upholds.]
[The power of Hermanubis once left him lost, but his teacher, Cyrus, pointed him toward the correct path and kept him from going astray.]
[Having obtained the complete power of Hermanubis, he will better execute the responsibilities of the General Mahamatra. Those who harbor justice in their hearts may seek him out to become a Matra who guards justice.]
[A Matra must be able to withstand temptation; he will not show his colleagues even half a point of leniency, and will be even stricter with them.]
[There is a shortcut to getting closer to him: Genius Invokation TCG. He is a card player, and playing cards is one of his few hobbies.]
[By the way, it is best to dress warmly when facing him; his cold jokes are truly freezing.]
Tighnari, Sethos, and Collei, who were well-acquainted with Cyno, all nodded in deep agreement.
Kaveh, however, was busy revising his blueprints and had no time to pay attention to the Sky Screen.
The original architecture of Blue Tyrant Academy did not match the style of the Akademiya, so he had to redesign and renovate it.
Ouyang Kong hadn't actually demanded this, but Kaveh's pursuit of beauty forced him to work overtime.
Come to think of it, if Kaveh went to the neighboring world, he might receive a glance from the Aeon of Beauty.
The evaluation concluded, and it was time to distribute the rewards.
[Congratulations to Cyno, rewarded with an increase in strength: Avatar of Hermanubis.]
After receiving the reward from the Sky Screen, Cyno immediately felt the power of Hermanubis within him strengthen significantly. It was not just the power of Hermanubis; his own strength had also been reinforced.
"Avatar of Hermanubis! I must go and test it!"
Saying this, Cyno arrived at the edge of the Lake of Life and, following his instincts, activated the power of Hermanubis.
Previously, when he activated the power of Hermanubis, he would only enter the state of Ba-Ling possession, but now it was completely different.
He saw his reflection in the Lake of Life, and it was entirely the true form of Hermanubis.
In other words, by manifesting the Avatar of Hermanubis, Cyno possessed the full power of Hermanubis.
Within the system of the Douluo Continent, defeating a God King would be absolutely no problem.
Di Tian, Bear Lord, the Scarlet King, Zi Ji, Bi Ji, and a group of other fierce beasts also approached.
"General Mahamatra?"
Di Tian asked tentatively.
"Yes, it is I. I have gained the ability to manifest the Avatar of Hermanubis. Would you like to help me test the power of Hermanubis?"
The group of fierce beasts shook their heads like rattles instantly; their lives were more important.
Just by looking at Cyno in his Avatar of Hermanubis form, they could all feel a crushing pressure.
Di Tian understood that at this moment, Cyno already possessed power that surpassed the gods.
"General Mahamatra, we cannot withstand the power of Hermanubis. Could you please ask the Grand Sage for us when the Lord will awaken?"
Cyno retracted the power of Hermanubis, pondered for a moment, and replied, "I will ask for you the next time I see the Grand Sage. I believe it should be very soon."
"Then many thanks, General Mahamatra!"
Having successfully diverted the topic, Di Tian let out a sigh of relief, but Cyno immediately pulled out his Genius Invokation TCG cards.
"I am in high spirits today; let us have a thrilling battle!"
The faces of Di Tian, the Scarlet King, and the Bear Lord instantly contorted into masks of agony.
The rewards for the second-place winner, Cyno, had been fully distributed, and now everyone was waiting to see who would take the first-place spot.
Qian Renxue had barely paid attention to the situation on the Sky Screen; she was traveling at full speed, rushing back to Martial Soul City.
She had not even considered how she would exact her revenge now that Bibi Dong had become a god through the Sky Screen's rewards; hatred had already cost her her reason.
However, when she arrived at Martial Soul City and saw the scene before her, she was completely bewildered.
There was Bibi Dong, lying in a massive crater in a disheveled state, a strange youth wearing a large hat, and Qian Daoliu standing to the side, looking extremely restrained.
She truly could not process what on earth had happened here.
"Xue'er!"
"Grandfather, this... what happened here?"
Scaramouche glanced at Qian Renxue once and then paid her no further mind; beauty held no meaning for him.
At this moment, the Sky Screen finally updated the first-place ranking.
[First Place: Scaramouche]
Simultaneously, the image of Scaramouche was updated; on the Sky Screen, Scaramouche even flashed a wicked, charming smile, one that could surely stir the hearts of countless women.
