Hollow Knight: Hallownest

When she felt the violent aura filled with resentment gradually weaken, most of the boulder that Wu En was hanging on fell down. She looked at the stone gate in the distance with lingering fear, as if it was more terrifying than the darkness that was corroding her body.

In fact, this is true. Even though the power contained in the void is equally strong, it has lost the dominance of the gods compared to the light. The threat is not even one-tenth of the former. Moreover, because of the suppression of the seal, it is even more difficult to be compared with the radiation.

The stone gate gradually rose, and the figure of the White King emitted a white glow in the darkness, which was particularly eye-catching.

His expression was calm, and the shadow reflected in his eyes was deeper than the black lake under the abyss, like a pool of stagnant water without any ripples.

Wu En locked his eyes firmly on him, and invaded every ray of his breath into the latter's body without any scruples. In the past, such behavior would have been extremely rude, and it would have been understandable even if he had just killed him directly. However, the White King did not move at all, and allowed Wu En to explore his body.

This was something the two had agreed upon before the seal, in order to prevent failure due to confusion on the part of the authorities. After the sealing radiation process was completed, Wu En had to personally check to see if there were any omissions or residues, and even a trace of it had to be completely eliminated.

The faintly flickering green light gradually faded away, and Wu En breathed a sigh of relief, completely relieved.

She did not sense any radiant aura from the White King, as if the two had never met before. Compared to the aura emitted when they were discussing the seal, this aura was too pure and clean.

"How's the sealing going?"

For some reason, Wu En just wanted to ask this question, as if hearing the answer from the White King himself would make her feel more at ease.

"There is no deviation from the plan. All we need to do now is to guard the seal and make sure the magic circle is completely stable, and then everything will be over..."

The darkness in the White King's eyes slowly accumulated like quicksand in the bottom of his eyes. It seemed like he was thankful, but it was also like an emotion he had never experienced before.

exhausted.

The god of Hallownest exposed his rare vulnerability in the darkness that almost swallowed everything. Although it was only for a moment, Uin still captured it easily.

She understood the White King. It was no exaggeration to say that the plague incident almost brought a devastating disaster to Hallownest.

If the Radiance had not been so arrogant as to spread the plague and then wipe out all traces of its existence, intending to disappear from this vast land, then this war without the smoke of gunpowder would definitely end with the White King's tragic defeat.

This is not advocacy, but the most basic respect for an ancient god.

If the source of the plague had not disappeared, then the entire Hallownest would be shrouded in an inextinguishable light, and the word "king" would be nothing more than a self-proclaimed joke.

And ultimately, this is why Radiance was sealed—because of her dignity and glory as an ancient god.

"Then I will leave at the agreed time."

"Ah."

The White King nodded, and was about to sit down next to Wuen to rest and stabilize the seal, when the latter's eyes flashed and locked onto his palm.

"Worm, what's that in your hand?"

There was a hint of coldness in Wuen's words, as if he was dissatisfied with the White King.

This was indeed the case. When she released her aura to explore the White King's body just now, she did not notice anything unusual in his palm. It was most likely covered up by the latter's power. If he had not ignored the intuitive vision at the real level, she would have almost not noticed it.

What is he hiding?

After the words fell, the already quiet atmosphere became even colder. King Bai said nothing and continued walking forward.

Two thick vines suddenly rose from the ground and tightly wrapped around his body.

"Worm, what is that in your hand?"

Wu En's voice became completely cold, even a little hostile.

The road to sealing cannot tolerate any mistakes.

The White King had a gloomy face at this time, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes. A burst of energy surged out of his body and completely shattered the vines.

"Wu En, are you going to be my enemy?"

"It's you who are against Hallownest."

Wu En was not afraid of the White King's power at all. He shouted and glared, and the green light on his body gradually condensed into mist.

"Your actions in breaking the Covenant are destroying Hallownest."

The two sides stared at each other, and the atmosphere was tense for a moment, as if a fierce battle between gods would break out in the next second.

Unexpectedly, this situation did not last long. King Bai was the first to lower his eyes and restrain his breath.

He raised his forearm and spread his palm.

There lay quietly a white stone engraved with seal patterns.

Wu En was not unfamiliar with the pattern of the sealing pattern. She had shown it to her long before when the White King discussed with her the matter of sealing the radiation. The sealing power contained in it was unprecedentedly strong. This was one of the reasons why she was willing to help the White King.

What on earth did he seal in that stone that he wanted to hide it from my detection from the very beginning?

Upon seeing this, Wu En released his breath again, and it stretched out like roots towards the stone.

But this time she still failed to achieve her wish, as the White King stopped her halfway.

Wu En frowned and was about to speak again when the White King took the initiative to inject power into it, temporarily releasing the seal.

She saw it. It was supposed to be a video, but the White King had blocked the content, so it was all white.

"Is that enough?"

There was no emotion in the White King's words.

Wu En restrained his breath and nodded slightly.

Although she didn't know the content of the image, she was not curious. She did this just to prevent the radiation from hiding in the stone. Now it seems that she was worrying too much.

"no offense."

King Bai took back the stone in his palm and randomly chose a place to sit cross-legged.

A stable seal cannot be achieved by Wuen alone. The importance of the depths of the stone egg is too great. Even if this is ignored, it will be difficult for Wuen's power alone to continue until the seal is completely completed.

The black egg became quiet again, with only two tiny lights flickering from time to time, like bursts of breathing.

Shortly after the conflict subsided, the expressions of the White King and Wu En changed almost at the same time, as they sensed something unusual.

The reason why the former realized it was that he actually violated the agreement that had been made long ago, and he also felt murderous intent in his heart.

The latter knew her own character and knew that irritability and impulsiveness were not her nature, so how could she have done such a direct attack just now?

They both turned their heads to look at each other at the same time, and saw suspicion in their gazes.

When the White King realized this, alarm bells had already sounded in his heart, and he suddenly spread his aura toward the entire black egg. However, the wave-like force did not reach too far, as if it had hit a cliff and was blocked back.

Seeing him do this, Wuen's heart sank and he quickly mobilized his divine power.

The light emitted by the stone pillar gradually became brighter, illuminating the short figure standing quietly at the entrance of the black egg.

Gradually, the shadow of the short figure became longer and longer, spreading from the ground to the egg wall of the stone egg, almost embracing the entire black egg in its arms.

"You, embrace the void."
