Hollow Knight: Hallownest

In the depths of the green, in the center of the emerald lake, ever since the pair of tentacles stretched out of the water, an endless wave of excitement has been constantly washing around, hitting the shore like waves.

For a moment, the surface of the surrounding vegetation glowed green, the bent branches gradually straightened, the withered petals slowly came back to life, the flowers and trees swayed and celebrated, as if they were praising the source of this power.

After adapting to the cleansing of this power, the four knights all felt relaxed physically and mentally, as if the long-dry earth was suddenly watered. If they were not supported by their own strength, they would have wanted to lie down on the ground on the spot and enjoy this power that could soothe their body and mind.

"Wu En, everything is ready. I need your protection."

The White King took a step forward, raised his eyes, and looked at the pair of tentacles.

After Wuen looked at him for a moment, he completely revealed his huge body from the bottom of the lake.

In an instant, the shore was shrouded in shadow, and the knights came back to their senses from their strange state.

Their eyes were full of shock as they stared motionlessly at Wuen who suddenly appeared on the lake, their minds in a mess.

This body shape reminded them of the abyss, but even though the shadow beast exuded violent and chaotic power, it could not compare to the aura emanating from the body in front of them.

The appearance of another god after Radiance made the knights somewhat suspicious.

The existence of Greenpath is not a short thing, but although they have lived in Hallownest for so long, they have never seen it. At most, they have only heard legends about it. Before this, it was just a legend. But now that Unn has appeared, they have to start thinking -

How many gods are there in Hallownest?

Three? Four? Or more...

Wuen on the lake gradually approached the shore. At the same time, its body size gradually shrank proportionally. When it floated in front of the White King, its aura was restrained and it turned into a moss ball again.

Seeing this, the knights opened their eyes again. If they had not seen Unn's real body just now, they would never have associated this moss ball with a god.

"Let's go."

"You don't need to prepare?" King Bai murmured.

"I had already made all the preparations when the temple was built. Instead of asking me, why don't you let me ask you?"

Wu En jumped onto the White King's shoulder and asked in a deep voice, "Are you really ready?"

White light flashed and array patterns emerged.

The White King used silence instead of answering and used actions to represent his determination.

......

Silent crossroads.

The once bustling streets are now empty, with the doors and windows of the houses on both sides closed, giving it a desolate and silent look. But if you look through the windows into the houses, you can easily find more or less orange spots of light emerging in them, like candlelight floating in the air.

Even if Monomon proposed a temporary solution, these infected residents could only regain their sanity for a short period of time after leaving the archives. Without Um, they would return to their previous state of being unable to move, and could only rely on the outer membrane to convert dream energy into pheromones and the nutritional needs of biological functions to supply the body.

Fortunately, the existence of the outer membrane also dissolved the hostility between them, preventing chaos from happening again. The sentinels who sent them back isolated them in different rooms just in case.

The White King and Wuen's team did not teleport directly to the Black Egg Temple, but walked the crossroads again.

The current situation here is the White King once again sounding the alarm for himself, putting aside all his unnecessary things and completing his goal.

The knights behind them also had sad faces as they passed by here. The miserable situation of the residents now was something that had never happened since the establishment of Hallownest. They only hoped that there would be no accidents on this sealing journey, and that the ancient gods could be sealed as soon as possible, returning prosperity to Hallownest.

Their steps were slow and heavy as they moved forward into the darkness in the distance, their bodies gradually being swallowed up by the shadows.

The moment the Black Egg Temple, this magnificent building, was exposed to the knights, they felt the familiar feeling of disgust physically.

As they got closer, the feeling of disgust became more intense. They stepped through the gate and came to the huge stone egg standing in the center of the wide stone platform. If the White King had not been here, they would have wanted to destroy the stone egg on the spot.

The reason is simple. The viscosity of the void air emitted by this stone egg is no less than the void air breath they felt at the bottom of the abyss. It is as if the king has extracted the purest power from there and stored it in this stone egg.

They stood still in front of the stone eggs, thinking that the aura would be at its worst, but they never expected that the White King's next move would make the knights change color.

His palms opened and closed slightly, and the black egg shell in front of the knights suddenly opened. At this moment, not only the knights, but even Wuen was a little dazed by the strong breath that came towards them.

"Even after experiencing it once, I still find it difficult to adapt to the aura of this power."

"That's normal. After all, the void contains a force that is completely contrary to you..."

The White King thought for a moment and added, "Or rather, it contains a force that goes against everything in the world."

“I’m thankful it exists.”

After saying that, the White King raised his legs and stepped into the black egg. Upon seeing this, the knights tried to endure the discomfort in their bodies and tried to keep up with the White King, but the latter raised his hands to stop them.

"You four don't need to enter. Just help me guard this temple. While I'm here, you are not allowed to let any creature approach the temple. This is a death order. You should be aware of the importance of this matter."

"As ordered!"

The knights' expressions suddenly became serious and they all walked outside.

At this moment, Hegemo saw Bai still standing there, and couldn't help but remind him: "Bai, why are you still standing there? Come with us outside..."

"Bai, come in with me."

Before Hegmer could finish his words, the White King's voice rang out from the darkness in the egg.

Bai glanced at Hegemer, then turned back to look at the three knights behind him, and then without any further movement, he moved his legs neatly into the eggshell.

When it entered, the black egg suddenly closed and returned to its previous appearance.

Hegemer's mouth was still open at this time. He slowly closed it after he reacted, turned around and walked out of the hall with a lot of questions in his mind.

Several other knights also saw this scene and looked at each other. Their expressions were different, but the questions in their hearts were the same.

King Bai wants to seal the ancient god, so what does he ask Bai to go in for?
