Hollow Knight: Hallownest

"what?!"

The white lady's body trembled, and she suddenly moved forward from her original position, as if anxiously confirming whether she had heard correctly.

"The seal failed? How could the seal fail?!"

"Hasn't the power of Radiance been weakened by you? Could it be that she still has a backup plan and broke the seal?!"

"If we fail, what about our children?!"

The White Lady spoke with all her eyes closed, pouring out all her questions like beans from a bamboo tube. The emotion in her eyes was no longer the same as before, full of panic and eagerness, as if she wanted to get into Worm's brain and read the answer directly.

Feeling another pulling force on her arm, the White Lady saw that the other party refused to answer, her face changed and she directly shook off Worm's hand.

"Worm, if you don't give me an answer, I can't leave with you today."

She couldn't remember how long it had been since she had said the word 'Worm' to him in person.

The latter turned around and met those cold eyes. At that moment, he seemed a little dejected.

Is it true, as the White Lady said, that all this is a sin?

From the moment the container rises, its end is to fall into the abyss?

"The sealing started smoothly, and the Radiance was imprisoned in the container as planned. If nothing unexpected happens, everything will be settled, and Hallownest will usher in a new era..."

As he spoke, he seemed to remember something and a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"No. Even now, Hallownest will usher in a new era, but it will no longer belong to me."

Then, he said something shocking.

"You should know that there are two ancient gods in this land under our feet."

Mrs. White was startled after hearing this, and her pupils trembled violently.

After spending so much time together, there was no need for much explanation about the tacit understanding between the two sides. She understood what Worm wanted to express in an instant.

"Impossible, how is it possible? It has only been a short time since the abyss changed. How could He..."

She hoped that this was just an excuse for Worm to trick her away from here, so she seemed to remember something and quickly said, "Is it possible that He was not within your foresight?"

Worm shook off the roots, seemingly in revenge for the other's previous actions.

"I can indeed foresee the future, but that doesn't mean it's without a price."

"If you let me interfere with those bugs, I can do it without any effort, life or death, poverty or wealth, but that is an ancient god!"

"Seal the Radiance has almost exhausted all my strength. How can I know about the appearance of the Void God?!"

These words are half true and half false. Destiny is a predetermined river. Hard work can only change the slope but not the direction.

The seal of the Radiance was a foregone conclusion, formed by the confluence of countless tributaries in and around Hallownest. It was not surprising that Wyrm could glimpse the direction of fate, and it didn't even cost him too much.

But the Void God is different. With the interference of Mo Rong, the abnormal factor, he appears to be particularly unique. In short -

He belongs to the underground river.

The Worm standing on the shore could not spy.

The two sides talked to this point. Even if Wyrm didn't tell her the details, the White Lady could already sort out the whole story. After a moment of silence, she murmured, "So you have failed. The two ancient gods have reappeared, and Hallownest is on the verge of destruction, right?"

"I don't know, but the Void God will never miss the opportunity to eradicate the Radiance. What we need to do now is to conserve our energy. As long as..."

"What about the people?"

"......" Worm lowered his eyes and sighed helplessly.

Didn't he want to stop all this from happening? Aren't all the living beings on this land his people?

"Let's go. Let's leave here before that Void God catches up with us."

When Mrs. White heard these words, she felt as if all her strength had been drained from her body. Her eyes were dull and she let Worm lead her out.

If even he can't stop it, and even the king can't stop it, how can this kingdom exist?

"Really... is there no other solution?"

This was the first sentence Delia heard after the White Lady walked out of the Stone Egg Residence.

The look of despair that was difficult to conceal made her eyes fall on the former. Her premonition became more and more bad. She always felt that something serious had happened outside.

The light that passed through the flowers and leaves spread onto the white lady's body, making it difficult for her to open her eyes.

"Wu En, do you want to come with us?"

Delia was stunned and looked at the huge green figure in disbelief. It was obvious that she had heard something as well.

Wu En shook his head and gave a negative response.

"My people need me. I will not leave here, leave Canglu."

"You should know what the price will be if the Void God finds you. If you are alive, the green can still reappear..."

"No need to say more, I have made up my mind."

Worm said nothing more after hearing this. He turned his gaze to look at Delia and motioned for her to come to his side.

The patterns of the teleportation array lit up again, and the white light like a curtain gradually covered the three figures in it. After a flash, only a word of advice was left on the green ground, lingering among the flowers and plants.

"Urn, let's go."

In front of the Stone Egg Residence, there were only two figures, one big and one small, left, Uen and Malmu. The former withdrew his gaze from the place where the teleportation array disappeared, and instead looked at Malmu who was a few steps away.

She got the peace she needed from the little guy.

After releasing the aura he emitted, Malmu's chaotic brain instantly regained clarity, but he was still looking at Uen curiously without making any movement.

"Little bug, would you like to come with me and go somewhere else?"

After hearing this, Malmu turned around and looked at the Stone Egg Residence behind him, and shook his head decisively: "Mabuwu (No way)."

"why?"

Marmu straightened up and said proudly, "Mabu Mabu, Mabuwu... (I have to protect the queen here, how can I leave with you)?"

"But your queen is gone."

"Mab (what)?"

She looked at Wuen suspiciously, then looked around and found that there was no sign of Delia. Her heart skipped a beat and she hurriedly crawled into the stone egg residence.

Not long after, Uen saw Malmu crawling out with a lost look on his face, as if he had lost something he loved dearly.

"So, are you planning to come with me now?"

"Mabu Mabu (No, I won't leave)."

“Mabu-wu, Mabu-mabu… (The queen will definitely come back, I have to protect this place for her)!”

Wuen looked at this stubborn little bug and felt a little dazed.

This little guy looks a bit like me.

She smiled slightly, and a green light appeared between her eyebrows and merged into Malmu's body imperceptibly.

"Well, then you stay here and wait for the queen's return."
