Hollow Knight: Hallownest

The shrill whistle seemed to be able to pierce the hard stone eggs. A large light suddenly burst out from behind the hunched body, faintly depicting the shape of a moth wearing a crown in the air. Then the light stopped dissipating everywhere and turned into a flickering shape flapping its wings, as if it would dissipate into the air at any time.

The Void God's expression remained the same. He raised his head and met the radiance's gaze. There was even a hint of joy in his eyes as if he had met an old friend. However, things had changed and when mortal enemies met, they were bound to have bad words to say.

"It's been a long time since we last met. I never thought that you would be so embarrassed when we first met after waking up. You are truly a shame to us ancient gods..."

Hearing this, Radiance's eyes were bloodshot. If he hadn't been suppressed by the seal and his divine power was exhausted, the response he would have given to the Void God would have been a round of enhanced light cannons.

The latter understood the emotions that the pair of eyes wanted to express, and he stood in place. His head suddenly lost support and drooped down. A tremendous force rose to the air along with the black mist like a waterfall under his robe, and gradually condensed into his original appearance.

The two auras began to collide uncontrollably, and the black mist continued to bite at the light around the radiant light, making the latter's figure dimmer and more erratic, as if it could be blown away with a breath.

"Now that you have been defeated by outsiders, you have lost the qualification to dominate this land. From now on, the creatures of this land will only praise the name of Shadow."

As the Void God spoke, countless sharp claws on his sides moved towards the Radiance like lightning. The latter was like fish on a chopping board, with no power to resist and could only have its power greedily absorbed.

Light, crumbling.

The endless supply of divine power was fed back to the Radiance by his body, and the look on the face of the God of Void was full of satisfaction. Feeling the breath of the claws like a candle in the wind, he stopped and freed the Radiance from the darkness.

At this moment, her figure was almost transparent and her breath was extremely weak.

"Be loyal to the Void, and we will help you regain your glory."

They have been enemies for generations, but they also admire each other, otherwise they would not have been entangled until now.

Radiance barely raised her eyes. Even though she looked like an ordinary moth at this moment, there was no trace of loneliness in her eyes. Instead, she was filled with the pride of a god.

"Light will not be swallowed..."

The Void God narrowed his eyes slightly, and after a long while he let out a long sigh.

If possible, he would rather defeat his opponent than kill him.

The black fog opened its bloody mouth and completely swallowed the last cluster of light.

The aura of an ancient god that had existed for who knows how many years finally disappeared completely into the eggshell at this moment.

On the ground, Bai's pupils had long been filled with pure darkness, without any trace of orange light. He straightened his back and stared at the figure in the air, his thoughts in confusion.

It could feel that it was a familiar feeling belonging to "father", but past memories told it that it was not its father.

Likewise, that's not 'brother'.

The Void God retracted the black mist, his eyes revealing satisfaction, but he did not retract his body. Instead, he moved his gaze towards Bai who was looking at him, with a hint of imperceptible disgust in his expression.

"My child, your body is not perfect, but..."

"I will make you pure."

As it spoke, another black hand suddenly grasped Bai, and boundless black air instantly poured into its body, causing it to expand a little visibly.

Then its body seemed to have reached its limit, like a balloon that was swollen to a pale color and would burst if it was inflated a little more. However, the black gas seemed to be completely unaware of it and was still swaying wildly, trying desperately to get into its body.

"Ugh—!"

A hoarse cry suddenly resounded throughout the stone chamber, and countless white particles began to escape from Bai's body, as if someone had taken over their body. When they wanted to gather together again and take back the body that belonged to them, they were always excluded.

As a large number of white particles appeared around it, floating and condensing, vaguely forming a round shape, then breaking and floating, and finally dispersing into the darkness, the swollen body finally began to slowly calm down and return to its original state.

The God of the Void nodded, the disgust in his eyes had long disappeared, replaced by a look of satisfaction, like a sculptor looking at the perfect work created by his hands.

"Foolish outsider, pure void does not need any other divine power to bless it. It is the supreme being in itself."

The echoing cries of pain had long since stopped, and Bai's already dark body now looked even more mysterious and noble, as if it could absorb everything and contained endless power, or like a black lake under the abyss, its depth was hard to tell.

"Father."

Perhaps because he had never spoken before, the words came out hoarsely, but the respect they contained was obvious.

Bai bowed his head and half-knelt on the ground, with the black cloak on his shoulders falling to the ground like a waterfall, completely covering his broad body.

On the open space nearby, a few scattered pieces of gray cloth gradually floated away.

The Void God gathered his aura and returned to his body. He walked towards Bai step by step, stroked his mask which was also stained with ink, and spoke slowly:

"From today on, the void is restored. I will be the king, you will be the general, father and son, ruler and subject, let this land..."

"Back to the Shadow."

"As you command, King!"

......

"Do you think we can still see Bai?"

In front of the Black Egg Temple, four knights were stationed. Although they looked serious, they felt a little bored in their hearts.

As the plague faded, the crossroads was no longer deserted. It had become more lively recently, and it seemed like a return to prosperity. Naturally, some residents discovered them.

The simultaneous appearance of four of the Kingdom's Five Knights was explosive news no matter where it happened. So in order to prevent crowding and the intrusion of ominous factors, they ordered the local sentinels to block the route, forcing the curious residents to watch from afar. Even so, the entrances and exits on both sides were still crowded with people every day.

In response to Orgrim's sudden question, the other knights looked at each other, turned their heads away tacitly, and said nothing.

Compared to the days of sealing, they were not long, but they had enough free time for them to think through many things. Even the most slow-witted Orgrim realized something at this time. He was always sincere and would not hide his feelings.

Seeing his friends all silent, Orgrim looked depressed.

Although they didn't speak, the answer was obvious.

despair......

despair......

despair......

Suddenly, a sound of footsteps came from the temple behind them, approaching and reaching the ears of every knight.

The seal is over?

The same question popped up in the hearts of the knights. They turned around in tacit understanding, their eyes widened, especially Orgrim, who was extremely surprised.

Although the figure had not yet completely escaped from the darkness, the outline glimpsed by the light, who else could it be but Bai? !

"white......"

Orgrim couldn't help himself and wanted to say hello, but the next second it was as if his throat was strangled and he couldn't make a sound.

He and the other three knights all felt the overwhelming violence and...

Killing intent!
