Hollow Knight: Hallownest

Chapter 378 Stage Play

When a hunter is several times, ten times, or even a hundred times stronger than his prey, his opinion of the prey will gradually decrease. Just like a cat catching a mouse, he will always play with the prey, giving the latter hope of escape and leaving bloody marks with his claws every time, until the latter is exhausted and lingers on until death.

Absolute control over the prey is the unique pleasure of the hunter.

Now, looking at Mo Rong who was desperately fleeing below and the radiation that had already disappeared into his body, the Void God had such a mentality.

Run, run, run faster, use all your life to escape from my grasp——

He floated in mid-air, his eyes moved away from Mo Rong, and then he looked around at the land and mountains, then raised his head and looked at the sky covered by dark clouds.

Is this the scenery on earth? It’s not much better than the abyss.

It seemed as if something in the eyes of the Void God suddenly disappeared. He felt it carefully and felt that it might be his deep-rooted obsession from thousands of years ago.

Light and shadow, traces of the struggle between the two are all over the long river of time in Hallownest, but the former has never spread light into the deep abyss, and the latter has never let the shadow spread to the earth under the sky.

At that time, the Void God had never had the opportunity to hang high under the light so unscrupulously as he did now, overlooking the half that originally belonged to the light, so he was eager for it and set this as his goal when launching a war.

How long?

He couldn't remember the exact years, but the roars and screams of the creatures on this land seemed to still echo in his ears. He thought that the war would continue. Even though the sleep had blocked off a long period of time, how could a war that had lasted for thousands of years suddenly end?

But the war ended just like that, easily ended by an outsider.

It's not just a fight between lower creatures, but also a fateful feud between two ancient gods.

It really made him sigh——

The Void God narrowed his eyes. He did not expect things to develop like this. It was as if there was a hand behind him, a god, pushing him to this position. Thinking back, from the moment the seal was broken, all obstacles seemed to suddenly disappear, as if it was a gift from fate to him to return to the throne of God.

In this case, he is even less anxious at this moment.

A hint of excitement and hostility appeared in the eyes of the Void God, and his gaze turned from the distant skyline to the madly running Mo Rong.

In fact, he originally wanted to kill Radiance as soon as he saw her here, but just now Radiance came out to show off her strength even in that state, which made him change his mind.

He would not kill Mo Rong immediately. No matter what the latter wanted to do, he would use his sharp claws to catch the latter like a cat catching a mouse, compressing his living space while giving him a chance to breathe.

Just like how the other party suppressed him thousands of years ago, he wanted to let Radiance relive that feeling.

What he wanted to do from the beginning to the end was not to kill the Radiance, but to make the latter understand and admit that the Shadow never submits to anything, not even the Light that is high above her.

But it is difficult to make Radiance bow its head, but fortunately,

He had the patience to do it.

A void throne made of black particles suddenly appeared behind the Void God. He sat down slowly, turned his palms up, and a black plane similar to a chessboard suddenly appeared in front of him. Between the waves, it turned into a miniature Detmouth.

The next moment, he placed his left hand lightly on it, and black threads fell like raindrops on this miniature city, connecting in the dense 'waves'.

Then, he lifted up two "waves" and after some operations, placed them in front of a fast-moving black dot not far away.

"Come on, Radiance, welcome to the show."

In the distance, Mo Rong suddenly noticed two figures descending from the sky and landing in front of him, and he became suspicious.

His speed is not slower than Dageno and Ying, so why are these two chasing so fast?

That's right, according to Mo Rong's first instinct, the two bugs that fell from the sky must be Dageno and Ying. Apart from that, he felt that the Void God did not need to go to so much trouble.

But he was wrong. The ones falling in front of him were not the two generals of the Void, but two bugs he didn't recognize at all.

What made him even more surprised was that the two insects did not attack him at the first moment, but instead killed each other as if they were performing a stage play.

Soon, more and more insects fell from the sky, increasing from two to more than ten, but Mo Rong did not suffer any harm from beginning to end, and they continued to fight each other.

But as he ran, he realized something was wrong.

He felt that his strength was fluctuating to varying degrees, which caused his breath to become unstable and even his steps could not become regular.

So he had to slow down to find the reason, and in just a moment he grasped the root of the problem.

It is radiance.

The radiation that resided in his body not long ago was clearly normal, but now the color of the dream was gradually deepening and fluctuating, obviously affected by the god who dominated dreams.

"Hey! Radiant, what's wrong with you?!"

Mo Rong looked into her eyes, only to see that she was also glaring at him, her eyes filled with extreme anger.

Why are you staring at me... He was suspicious for a moment, and then suddenly realized that the radiation was not looking at him, but at the stage play next to him.

What is the problem here? ?

Mo Rong quickly turned his attention to the insects that were screaming and fighting, and suddenly discovered a clue.

"This shape, this outline..."

His pupils shrank slightly, and he immediately recognized one of the two warring parties, the moth tribe under the command of Radiance!

So the other side is nothingness?!

But even if it was a war, it was only in the past. Why did Radiance have such big mood swings? !

Mo Rong looked for a while, but could not find any clues. He wanted to ignore it, but if the radiation did not calm down, he would not be able to deal with the next changes.

So he took out the nail, and in order to appease the Radiance, he deliberately swung the nail towards the 'Void'.

As a nail was swung down, his arm suddenly paused and then suddenly became limp, as if all the strength had been drained away.

"Radiance, what are you doing?!"
