Hollow Knight: Hallownest

Mo Rong had a dream, a dream without any reason.

He remembered that he was still confronting Dageno at the time, and was quite shocked that the latter could prolong the instantaneous emptiness.

Even though he was very close to the final point of the Pantheon and had been tempered by a series of bosses before, when the opponent really made a move, it seemed that all his previous efforts were in vain.

In a battle that could decide the outcome in an instant, Dageno's virtual state that lasted for several seconds made it almost impossible for him to win, not to mention his rich combat experience. After only two or three exchanges, he felt as if he was naked and exposed to the opponent's eyes.

If his already skilled Black Charge and adapted Outer Body were his reliance in cutting through the Pantheon single-handedly, then in front of Dageno, these so-called advantages vanished in a matter of seconds.

How to win?

Dageno just stood there motionless in front of him, like a mountain that had stood for ten thousand years, or like an old master who had experienced the test of time. He had none of the frenzy and aggressiveness that the previous void creatures should have, and he responded to all changes with the same attitude.

Almost...no weaknesses.

This is the most pessimistic conclusion Mo Rong came to after a thorough analysis.

If I could use magic, would there be some hope...

At the moment when the brainstorming ended, a light suddenly appeared in the chaotic thoughts, and then spread from the mind to the eyes, just like...

Got a flash bomb.

Mo Rong felt that this description was very appropriate. It was like a trance, and the originally dark environment suddenly became bright, just like when he was hiding in bed at night and checking his phone, he accidentally turned the brightness to the maximum, and then it slipped out of his hand and fell in front of his eyes.

Being in the dark for a long time made it take him a long time to open his eyes completely and see his surroundings clearly. This is why he was sure that he was dreaming.

"Why does the sun have a pair of wings?"

Wait…the sun?

The sun with wings?!

The murmurs in confusion turned into a club that hit Mo Rong's head, making his cloudy eyes suddenly clear. His gaze was fixed on the sun flapping its wings on the skyline. The next moment, the sun appeared in front of him with a deafening explosion.

“Radiant…Radiant light?!”

Amidst the speechlessness, the pair of indifferent eyes with golden light lowered and fell on Mo Rong. The yellow sky was filled with cumulus clouds, and strange gusts of wind blew across the latter's unbelievable face.

How could Radiance appear here? !

If this was just an ordinary God's residence, he could still understand it, but the other party actually dragged him into a dream while he was in the Void Pantheon. How was this different from making trouble under the nose of the Void God? !

Then, an extremely absurd idea slowly arose in my mind.

Could it be that even Radiance could not escape the clutches of the Void God and was captured and taken to the Pantheon to become a gatekeeper?

Before he could deny this idea, a round of laser cannon fired at him without any explanation.

Fortunately, after experiencing a series of battles, Mo Rong had already had an instinctive reaction. He used Heichong to leave the spot before the light cannon arrived, otherwise he would have turned into ashes by now.

"Put aside your foolish opinions! Light has never yielded to shadow!"

Well, this familiar tone is really radiant!

But wasn’t the altar in the void that I entered? How come the radiation came in?

But... this is also good news. Since the Radiance can escape and come here, the White King must have successfully sealed the Radiance.

If that’s the case, then the three dream keepers... Alas, they still couldn’t change the intended ending.

Mo Rong suddenly felt powerless, at the mercy of fate. Although many things had happened after he came to Holy Nest, none of them could affect the original direction of the event.

At this moment of sadness, Radiant's pupils lit up again, but this time no light cannon shot out of them. Instead, the surrounding scenery became like flowing smoke, gradually blurring and dimming, making Mo Rong wonder for a moment whether he was going back to the Void Pantheon again.

"Is this... the Temple of the Black Egg?"

Mo Rong let out a light exclamation and recognized where he was just by the standing glowing stone pillars and the patterns under his feet.

He wanted to move forward, but his perspective did not move as he thought. This made him realize that he was not teleported to the Black Egg Temple. It must be an illusion created by the radiation.

Soon, the picture began to rotate, from outside to inside, all the way deep into the stone chamber, allowing Mo Rong to see clearly everything that happened afterwards.

"The seal was successful as expected."

"But it's not over yet."

The indifferent voice of Radiance suddenly sounded in his ears, and then the White King in the picture walked out of the stone chamber. An uninvited guest arrived in the temple.

Mo Rong narrowed his eyes slightly, always feeling that the figure was inexplicably familiar, until the light of the stone pillar spread on him, illuminating his face and figure, Mo Rong's eyes suddenly widened and trembled violently.

"That's... me?!"

Then, the events that happened played out one after another: the two gods were defeated, the predecessor turned completely evil, and the radiation disappeared. These disasters that completely deviated from the established trajectory were like nuclear bombs falling into his mind, and he was unable to recover for a long time.

"We didn't take you seriously in our dreams. We never thought you could cause such trouble."

There is some irony in Radiance's words, but that does not prevent them from being full of truth.

If Mo Rong had really died in the war of gods, everything now would be as Worm had predicted.

"Even if it's true as you said, you can't escape the fate of being sealed."

Mo Rong's tone was bitter. It was really fate that played tricks on him. Should I say it or not, he really did change everything, although it was not for the better.

Wait, did I miss something?

Mo Rong suddenly raised his head and looked at the radiant light. He clearly remembered that in the previous scene, the other party had been absorbed by the Void God and the senior!

"You don't have to look at us like that. The secret of the ancient gods cannot be explained in a single word."

Radiant Light saw through Mo Rong's thoughts at a glance, but she would not tell him the reason. She just said something mysterious and changed the subject.

"The one who tied the bell must untie it. We have only one purpose in entering the dream..."

Although there was still an instinctive disgust towards the void in his eyes, Radiance still had to compromise with reality. The only one who could stir up all this was probably the instigator in front of him.

Even if it is unrealistic, she has to give it a try. If she lets it go, the Void will never give her any chance to fight back.

Despicable invader, you finally did one thing right, so you have to take action too.

She wants to bet on Mo Rong. Even if she has to risk everything in her life, she will do it for this slim chance of victory!
