Hollow Knight: Hallownest

Three shots of Shadow Soul shattered Mo Rong's dream of clearing the level with one life.

The moment the pain hit him, he completely lost consciousness and let the eyeless spell tear his body apart, and the shattered pieces disappeared into the darkness.

"Uh......"

Mo Rong, who was lying on the cold ground in front of the third Pantheon, woke up slowly, covering his swollen head. His consciousness was a little groggy and his thoughts were in a mess, as if they were being torn apart.

Although there is no real death in dreams, the aftereffects will still cause some trauma to the mind.

When he came back to his senses, he realized that this was the fourth time he had died in the Pantheon.

"Damn it! The boss has a buff, why doesn't he give me one..."

Mo Rong grumbled in dissatisfaction, raised his eyes to the two Pantheon doors not far away and the sixth Pantheon door across the river, then raised his head again and stared at the ceiling above in a daze.

Given the current situation, getting through the six Pantheons below should not be a problem. At most, a few more people will die. But if we face the Pantheon of Hallownest, this number will probably more than double, not to mention the final boss Radiance.

He had a feeling that the road ahead was long and arduous, which made him sigh with emotion, but it also gave rise to doubts.

"If, if I get through the Pantheon of Hallownest here and defeat the Supreme Radiance, will the current Radiance disappear?"

The unreasonable question stumped him all of a sudden. If the God-seeker's words were to be followed, no matter how powerful the radiation in God's abode was, it was only an imprint and a microcosm of the real radiation, just like a towering tree. Even if the thickest branch was broken, the impact on the tree itself would not be that bad.

But the performance in the game is completely the opposite. Just by defeating an engram, the radiation in reality seems to have disappeared, and the plague is also completely faded away.

Why is this happening... Mo Rong was not in a hurry to enter the third Pantheon again. Obviously, this issue had a much higher priority than breaking through the levels. If he rushed in mindlessly, he might end up walking a long and useless path.

After a little thought, the answer to the question readily emerged in his mind - the God of the Void.

After all, apart from this ancient opposing god, who else could trace the source directly through a scar and destroy the Radiance?

To put it the other way around, even if I defeat the radiance in the God's abode now, it will not have much impact on reality, because my body does not contain the power of the Void God like the little knight, or I cannot tune into the void and summon this ancient original god.

After going around in circles, my thoughts returned to the original purpose of coming here.

His purpose of coming to the God's Residence is to find a way to harmonize the void, so as to use the power of the God of the Void to fight against the radiation. This is not to help the White King, but a compromise under the control of the three is the best for the current situation.

"No, I can't have preconceived ideas. Just because I've passed the Pantheon does that mean I can tune into the void?"

Mo Rong suddenly raised his head, got up from the ground, turned around and looked towards the square.

It’s a pity that this glance didn’t allow him to see the scene he wanted to see.

"Where are the Godseekers? Weren't they still here just now?"

He looked around and walked around the bottom of the tower for a long time, but he didn't see even a single God-seeker. Looking at the road he came from that was obscured by clouds, he was suddenly in trouble.

How about going down and looking for that sweet-mouthed God-seeker yourself?

Although he didn't want to take that road anymore, it was obviously nothing compared to the answer to the question. He took one step forward, and just as he was about to fall, a very tiny prayer voice suddenly came from the top of the tower and entered his ears.

Mo Rong hurriedly stopped what he was doing, stood there and listened for a while. After determining the source of the sound, he immediately climbed in the direction he remembered.

"The Godseekers are on top of the tower? What are they doing there..."

He really couldn't imagine that the top of the tower was just a final large pantheon, and that not all the god-seekers would gather there.

With doubts in mind, I finally reached the top of the tower after a few final wall jumps and through the clouds.

The first thing you see are the two large altars standing in this not-so-wide place. Their magnificent and mysterious shapes appear even more majestic under the spread of golden glow, making it difficult for viewers not to feel like worshipping them.

Therefore, Mo Rong's mind at this moment was not at all on the god seekers kneeling in front of the altar. His already confused thoughts became even more chaotic.

I recognize the altar that is constantly emitting black particles. It is exactly the same as the one in the game...

But what about the other one? !

A flash of inspiration exploded in his mind like thunder. No matter how ridiculous it was, he had to suspect that the other altar was probably related to the God of Void.

"How is this possible..."

Mo Rong muttered as he walked towards the altar, his mind a little dazed. Looking at the brand new altar that was different from the one he remembered, he just wanted to quicken his pace and throw himself into its arms.

That was a call from the origin.

At this time, the Chief of Seeking Gods had already raised his head. He noticed Mo Rong the moment he climbed to the top of the tower. He was about to scold him for his rude behavior, but was suddenly attracted by the changes in one of the altars behind him.

The feeling from not long ago came back again, and the fluctuations of the ancient god's power began to rise and fall again, but... why?

Why did their prayers for so long fail to gain the ancient god's attention, but instead this rude intruder caught His attention?

Although he was very reluctant, Xunshen Zhusi still suppressed his thoughts of driving Mo Rong away this time. Instead, he kept his gaze on him and began to look at him carefully.

When the arrogant curtain is drawn back by the humble rope, the view will be suddenly broadened.

The eyes of the God-Seeking Chief widened, and he turned towards the direction of the altar and kept comparing it, as if he was confirming something.

At this time, Mo Rong had already passed by many god seekers, brushed past the god seeker chief, walked step by step to the altar where the black light ball was enshrined, and stopped where he was.

The look in his pupils was tinged with darkness, making his already ink-black pupils even deeper and more noble.

Xunshen Zhusi was only one step away from Mo Rong, and she could sense the aura emanating from him more clearly than ever before. That was why her expression was so unbelievable.

She never paid much attention to those who were granted God's grace and were only vassals of power, because even the luckiest of those who were blessed still lacked the breath that could touch the origin. Besides the gods themselves, there was only one kind of existence that would make her show such an expression -

The necromancer.
