Hollow Knight: Hallownest

Chapter 290 Purpose

Mo Rong didn't have to pay too much to have his idea confirmed, as the King of Vengeful Flies was far more proactive than he had imagined.

After the battle roar, their wings flapped even faster, with their pointed beaks drooping, like two meteors staggered and smashing towards where Mo Rong was standing. Their momentum was stronger and their speed was faster, leaving black trails in the air when they passed by, just like themselves releasing their shadow cloak.

Mo Rong subconsciously urged Hei Chong to dodge, and looking at the pit behind him that was almost as tall as him, he took a breath.

"No, no, this is nine out of ten wrong. Shouldn't this same Pantheon of Hallownest be a collection of the many Pantheon bosses below?"

It seemed like he had been tricked by the God Seeker... Mo Rong suddenly came to his senses. No wonder the former had been hesitant and kept repeating the same sentence when he asked questions. It turned out that the former had set up a trap here to trick him.

The Vengeful Fly King himself was enhanced by the Void buff, and at this moment it was as if he had been given another shot of chicken blood. He just took off into the air and swooped down towards him again.

This time he did nothing, just stood there with the door wide open, waiting for the attack to come.

He wanted to go out and find out if this was a necessary step to activate the divine body, or if even this thing was a lie. He felt strange when his consciousness left his body before.

We are clearly already in a dream, so why is there still a saying that we are out of consciousness?

Recalling the moment he lost consciousness when he reached the top of the tower, and then waking up in front of the God-Seeking Master, he felt that everything was wrong. If it were before, he would never have entered this altar so confusedly. There must have been something that affected his thinking before.

His torso was hit by the King of Vengeful Flies, and he suddenly felt a piercing pain like a broken bone, causing his pupils to dilate at that moment, and his legs fell to the ground weakly.

What kind of force is this?!

Mo Rong supported himself on the ground with his hands, his face was ferocious, drops of black liquid oozed out from the corners of his mouth and fell to the ground, vaguely reflecting his current figure.

Like the two Vengeful Fly Kings, his mask had long been missing, and he looked very much like the black soul left behind after death in the game, or in other words—

He is now the real him.

Before the pain could fade away, the Vengeful Fly King's attack came back with a vengeance, smashing towards Mo Rong again and again, creating a deep pit on the flat ground beneath him.

"Why...why am I not dead yet?"

Mo Rong couldn't even feel the existence of his limbs at this time, and his consciousness was blurred to the extreme. However, this state was like his health bar was locked. No matter how the Vengeful Fly King attacked him, he could not die. He could only helplessly endure the severe pain again and again.

He then realized that the rules of the current environment might be different from those of the many pantheons at the bottom of the tower. At least based on the current situation, he would not be able to die even if he was fatally injured.

what is this?

Is he going to be trapped here forever?

The god-seeker had bad intentions indeed, but why did she trick herself into the altar?

"Just give your will to the altar."

Her words suddenly echoed in Mo Rong's mind, and he widened his eyes in disbelief.

The moment before my will was sucked into the altar, I saw with my own eyes that my body was still in front of the altar, so...

Is she doing this for her own body?

The King of Revenge Flies attacked again. Their bodies were like two pestles, and the deep pit was like a mortar. The scene was very much like pounding rice cakes. As for who the rice cakes were, needless to say.

His thoughts were scattered by the pain and then gathered again. Mo Rong was still puzzled. He didn't understand what the God Seeker wanted his body for. Without his own will, it was just a ball of empty matter. Even if it was a complete body of a descending god, it still needed a soul to control it...

It takes a soul to harness...

Whose soul can control the void matter, and the void matter that is the body of a descending god...

Thinking of this, he no longer dared to think further. The answer was already obvious, but he didn't want to admit it.

When all possibilities are ruled out, whatever remains, even if it is impossible, is still the truth.

"Void God, how could it be you..."

Mo Rong lay in the deep pit like a puddle of mud, muttering aimlessly.

He should have thought of it earlier. The Godseeker in the game only tuned into the mark of Radiance, but here the marks of the two Old Gods were tuned together. The reason for this is definitely not that the Void God in the game has not yet awakened, but it is very likely that the Void God stayed on the Knight and followed it out of Hallownest.

But now because of my arrival, many things have changed.

The Knight's fate regarding Hallownest seemed to have been transferred to himself, so the Void God's gaze naturally stayed here, and thus an extra altar was added.

Yes, Radiance has already awakened, so why does he still think that the Void God is still asleep?

How could a god of equal power be willing to take a back seat?

Is it a coincidence or the guidance of fate?

If he had not thought of asking before, he would still be on his way to break through the third door or even the fourth door. Perhaps he would never set foot on the top of the tower before passing through the six doors.

Will the Void God wait for me there obediently?

No, this series of events that are linked together is definitely not accidental. Why did fate lead him here and let the Void God occupy his body?

His nerves had long been numb due to the long-term pain. Mo Rong was now immersed in the path of thought construction, exploring the fog that was about to reach the end.

He stretched out a hand and waved away the thick fog that blocked the road. Gradually, he saw the scenery behind the thick fog.

It was the head of an ancient giant beast.

Mo Rong's pupils suddenly contracted. He understood everything.

Why did fate lead him here, and why did the Void God take away his body at this time.

The purpose of that group of ancient gods has never changed from the beginning to the end. Even if the White King descended from the sky during their slumber, it could not stop them from fighting each other for their ultimate goal since ancient times -

Conquer this land.

He couldn't lie there any longer, he had to leave here...

He has to get out of here!

Since death cannot be escaped, then defeat the mark of the Void God. In short, do not sink in pain and wait for the arrival of the goddess of luck.

If I am not mistaken, the White King and the seniors have probably already started the sealing process in the Black Egg Temple, and the sealing is even nearing completion.

The God of the Void wants to reap the benefits!
