In Douluo Continent, my summoning of Naxi Da was exposed by the heavens.

Chapter 22: The Struggle for the Power of Hermanus

Then the scene shifts to show Tina's figure.

"Sino, you single-handedly tried more than 300 people, do you think you're amazing?"

Tinari's voice contained anger, but even more so, worry.

"Today I'm going to catch them all in one fell swoop—after all, there's no reason to let wicked thoughts get away with it!"

Hearing Seno's lame joke, Tinari shook his head helplessly, but still offered a compliment.

"Your lame jokes today are much better than before."

"That's right, isn't it? I've been thinking about this for a long time. Now, let's have a thrilling Seven Saints Summoning!"

Seno took out a card and struck a cool pose.

It was also because of the spread of the Heavenly Curtain that people in Douluo Continent became interested in the Seven Sages Summoning.

Dolly seemed to see a business opportunity, her eyes almost squinting into slits with laughter.

"Sino still loves playing cards as much as ever. He's really given those ferocious beasts in the main hospital a hard time, especially the Red King, who's not called Akainu anymore."

"Simply using the Seven Sages Summoning to change that guy's name is quite an achievement for Seno."

Ouyang Kong smiled knowingly as he recalled Sino's actions.

After all, given Seno's thinking, since he's named the Red King, how could he not know how to summon the Seven Saints? Not only do you have to know how, but you also have to be a top expert to live up to the name.

The name "Seven Sages Summoning" comes from the seven sages under the command of the Crimson King.

Then the scene on the sky changed again, and an old voice came out.

"Our Lord, Priest of the Priests, Lord Hermanubis."

Sesos seemed very excited upon hearing this voice.

"That's Grandpa's voice! I never thought I'd hear Grandpa's voice again!"

Sesos's eyes were a little moist, but he didn't cry. Tears were a sign of weakness; he had long since learned to be strong.

At this moment, the image displayed on the celestial screen was a wolf-headed, human-bodied figure, which was none other than Hermanubis.

"That lightning is his incarnation, a continuation of his will."

"He was originally a warrior of Tinal, who emerged from the desert and served the god-king Ahmar."

"After the death of the King of Gods, Hermanubis, along with his followers and the Tenal people who had served as priests for many years, came to the city of Tuledura and established the Temple of Silence."

"That is where we begin; our duty is to protect the knowledge left behind by the Red King civilization."

"More than a hundred years later, turmoil broke out in the sands."

"The gilded kings launched wars one after another, and the last remaining civilizations were destroyed in the flames of war."

"Only the wise kingdom of Tulaidura, under the leadership of the Tinal, escaped destruction."

"The good times didn't last long, and the beasts still set their sights on the legendary city of Tuledula, which is said to hold the knowledge of the Red King."

"The king of Gül besieged the place with his army and ordered the wise men to hand over the Temple of Silence in order to demonstrate the arrival of his majesty."

"The nobles in the city colluded with the overlord to preserve their rule by betraying the Temple of Silence, and even claimed that the knowledge preserved in the Temple of Silence was the source of the pollution."

"In an instant, the Palace of Silence was besieged on all sides."

"Our Lord has already exhausted his power to stop the spread of the corruption contained in the Red King's knowledge."

"In order for the Temple of Silence to continue, he shattered himself and initiated the ritual of transferring the power of Hermanubis, transferring the power to mortals."

"With this power, the Temple of Silence defeated the Overlord's army, but we were not regarded as heroes."

"The unknown forces terrify the desert people, and they reject us."

"The Temple of Final Silence led the Tinal people of Tuledura out of the desert and into the rainforest."

"The ending of the story is not hard to imagine: the nobles of Tuledura were wiped out, and the flames of war spread throughout the desert."

"We wandered and roamed to preserve a secret."

"Because of betrayal, we left the desert and entered the rainforest; and because we were not trusted, we returned from the rainforest to the desert."

"It has been too long, too long! Today has finally come the moment of Hermanubis' glorious return."

As Grandpa Bamun of Sesos spoke, the sky unfolded a historical scroll about Hermanubis and the Temple of Silence, allowing the people of Douluo Continent to feel the grandeur of desert history.

As the scroll ends and the camera zooms out, the magnificent architecture of the Temple of Silence and numerous statues of Hermanus appear.

Sessus and Seno stood in the dueling arena, surrounded by onlookers.

"I am Sesos, the suited one of the power of Hermanubis, and the grandson of Barmun, the current leader of the Temple of Silence."

"For a long time, we have sought the knowledge and power of Hermanubius, and longed for his soul and light to descend together."

"Now I will fight for this power!"

Sesos's opponent, Seno, also spoke up.

"I am Seno, the Grand Disciplinarian of the Faith Council, the student and successor of the sage Jules. I fight to protect my power, my teacher, and my country."

"You still have something to say, don't you? Since this is a duel, then show your true feelings before Hermanubis."

Sesos took a deep breath.

"Grandpa was a wise leader, but also a leader who bore a bloody name. I know what he was thinking, and I know his expectations for me."

"We have been bound by faith for a long time. I have been to Sumeru City and I know that times have changed."

"Sino, you and I possess the same power, yet we lead vastly different lives."

"Hermanubis's bael also has different symbols: power, glory, and all sorts of unknowns... Perhaps it's because our bael represent different symbols, or perhaps you've found the answer I haven't."

"Sino, I believe you can give me the answer. What else can I offer besides this power and faith? Come on!"

Then, Seno and Sesos simultaneously used the power of Hermanubis to engage in a duel.

The clash of pure power against pure power was incredibly intense; the lightning bolts from the two individuals collided repeatedly.

It wasn't until Seno withdrew the power of Hermanubis and took out his spear to block Sesos that the situation changed.

Sesos understood Seno's meaning and also drew a long spear to fight back against Seno.

Sesos was skilled with the bow and arrow, so he was naturally less adept at spear fighting.

As expected, Sesos lost, which was all part of the plan.

Sesos did not hesitate and gave his share of the Baal to Seno. Seno absorbed the Baal, causing Hermanubis's lightning to shine once again in the Temple of Silence.

The camera pans to Barmun, who slowly closes his eyes and takes his last breath, while subtitles appear on the screen.

Barmun dedicated his life to the faith of Hermanubis, and he bought Seno from Seno's parents to conduct the Barim experiments with his adopted grandson Sessus.

[This may be an evil act, but it was his faith. He used his last life to orchestrate the return of the power of Hermanubis, and at the same time, made the Temple of Silence no longer need to be hidden.]

He was a wise man and a devout believer, and deserves respect.
