Hollow Knight: Hallownest

The god lives in a high tower, in front of an altar.

Xunshen Zhusi hadn't closed her eyes for a long time. Her pupils were fixed on the bright altar. Even though they were bloodshot, she didn't dare to blink even once.

This mutation was much stronger than the one caused by the previous invader, and it was completely autonomous without any guidance or triggering!

This was even more surprising to her than resurrection from the dead. After all, the offering to Taichung was just a seal of the gods, a dead object, but now it had consciousness? !

At this moment, strands of light were constantly peeling off from the ball of light in the center of the light altar, turning into a piece of golden brocade that wrapped around the shadow ball of light, as if trying to completely wrap the latter.

Unfortunately, the moment the two touched, the brilliance on the golden brocade was instantly taken away by the shadow ball, becoming dim and then disappearing. However, the light altar showed no signs of giving up, and light threads continued to be drawn away.

"no, do not want......"

Xunshen Zhusi had a terrified look on his face. He knelt and moved step by step to the bright altar. He raised his hands somewhat at a loss, clasped them together, and kept muttering to himself.

"No, stop, please stop! Otherwise... otherwise you will completely disappear!"

The light ball, which was originally as big as her body, could no longer fill her palm after being peeled off continuously. The light on it was like a candle in the wind, gradually fading and dying out, until -

Disappeared completely.

Even if it is a divine imprint, it is a miniature of a god. How could its will be influenced by a mortal like me?

Seeing that the light had been completely swallowed up by the shadow, which had grown a lot bigger, the God Seeker knew that the God's Residence might have lost a tuned god's imprint forever.

The huge blow instantly broke her already tense nerves, and she fainted on the ground.

And inside the shadow ball of light on the altar, in the boundless darkness, a golden light the size of a grain of rice was flickering slightly.

......

After listening to Radiance's words, before he could sort out his thoughts, Mo Rong felt that everything in front of him was moving away from him, as if he was on a roller coaster that started instantly. A feeling of dizziness instantly filled his mind. When the nausea faded away, he opened his eyes again and it was still the battlefield of the Shadow Pantheon and the powerful enemy who remained calm and unmoved.

"Radiance?"

"Ancient God?"

"Ancient God of Light?"

He shouted three times in his heart but got no response, which made him doubt whether everything that happened just now was real, or was it just an illusion in his dream?

"Ahem...Big Flutter Moth?"

"Noisy bugs, I'll forgive you for your first offense this time. If you dare to insult me ​​again, I won't mind killing you on the spot!"

It was obvious that Radiance was very satisfied with this title.

Mo Rong's eyes lit up. He didn't take the threat in the words seriously at all. Instead, he whispered excitedly, "What just happened wasn't a dream. You actually...actually entered the Pantheon!"

Since the other party can come in, he must have a way to get out!

He thought it was natural, so he immediately said in his heart: "Can you take me out? The Void God has taken over my body, and I have to take it back."

"madness."

"Um...you know, if I can't get my body back, I can't be of much help to you."

"Insanity."

"...Can you give me a formal response, yes or no?"

"arrogant."

Mo Rong was speechless. He always felt that Radiant Light was making things difficult for him, but when he thought about it carefully, he felt that there was no need for him to do so.

If her plan requires her to go through the Pantheon, then no matter how she asks, it will probably be of no use.

No! Besides that, could it be because...

"Could it be that you...can't get out either?"

"..."

Sometimes silence is the best answer. The radiant light seemed to have never appeared and never gave Mo Rong any response.

Shit, you got it right.

Mo Rong sighed and returned to reality helplessly.

That's right, even if I skip classes in the Pantheon, I still have to face the Void God when I go out. I might as well take this opportunity to make some preparations. After all, once I leave the God's abode, it will not be like now where I can be resurrected and try and fail.

But then again...Mo Rong raised his head and looked at Da Jie Nuo, who was quite martial in the distance, and was in a dilemma for a moment.

This is just a chat. That moth was too stingy to give me anything. Even if it just helped me recover my original abilities in the outside world, I would still have some ability to fight back.

"There are some things I don't want to say a second time!"

Can the cricket in your heart hear it too?!

Mo Rong widened his eyes slightly, but still had some complaints. Even a donkey pulling a mill has to eat grass, and you want him to do things just by relying on his mouth?

But that was not the case. Shortly after Radiance finished speaking, a long-lost feeling of fullness suddenly flowed through his heart.

"Is this... soul power?!"

Although the soul power was so scarce that it couldn't even release a soul crystal beam for a moment, Mo Rong still felt it truly, as if a long drought had finally ended in rain. The haze in his heart was dispelled a lot, and even Dageno in the distance looked handsome and pleasing to the eye.

"Your bodies are unable to bear the power of dreams. If I infuse it with all of it, you will explode and die in a few breaths. Since you are the core of the plan, I will naturally help you leave."

I don’t know whether it was Mo Rong’s words that awakened Radiance, or the latter had to succumb to reality, but his tone was much better after all.

At the same time, golden threads began to appear from the surface of the cloak behind Mo Rong, passing through the feather shafts and then spreading to each cluster of feathers. The shadow cloak, which was originally gray and dark, was now faintly reflecting golden light, giving off a mysterious and noble dark gold look.

"You can even use the Shadow Cloak..."

"No matter how much it is tainted by the void, the cloak is still the foundation of the Moth Clan. There is no need to make a fuss about this."

Radiance doesn't want to pay attention to him now, not because the latter spoke rudely, but because she found something more interesting.

For her, any thoughts of any living being cannot be hidden from her detection, including but not limited to memories.

This is not only because of her life level, but also because she can freely enter and exit the dreams of any living being.

Dreams are a reflection of one’s inner self and are the most vulnerable moments when one is least prepared.

But when her consciousness merged into Mo Rong's body, she discovered a part that she had never noticed before, as if it was obscured by some more mysterious power. Only by connecting her fate with him like now could she get a glimpse of it.

And when the fog that blocked her eyes was swept away by an invisible force and the magnificent scene was exposed before her eyes, a huge wave rose in Radiant's heart for the first time.

"This... What period of ancient god is this, and why is it so huge?!"

"Why...why am I trapped in that small world?!"

"Void God... Is that the truth behind my predetermined demise?!"
