Hollow Knight: Hallownest

Thousands of moths came to worship, and the grand scene made Mo Rong unable to recover for a long time.

He could feel the surging power in his body, like an ancient echo or a sudden wave, washing over every part of his body.

The radiant shadow was seen expanding and enlarging, gradually occupying half of the world.

She fixed her gaze on Mo Rong. Although she did not speak, the latter heard her voice in his heart——

"You are so thoughtful that you actually come to visit my people."

Uh, I actually just wanted to wake you up earlier... Mo Rong stood there, not commenting.

Although he had seen the radiance in his dreams, Marcos was still very excited at this moment, with tears in his eyes: "My king, if using our souls can exchange for your complete awakening, please do not cherish it!"

This statement was true, but not all the moths present had this idea.

In Hallownest under the leadership of the White King, some Moths have gradually forgotten their belief in the Radiance, and even after being enshrined in the shrine after death, they have not been able to correct this.

They don't even realize it.

Radiance's pair of eyes that seemed to contain the scorching sun swept across every moth. Some were covered in golden light, while others were the complete opposite. Their souls gradually dimmed, and they screamed and died as if they were burned.

The moths that died with hideous faces did not scare the other survivors. Instead, they looked more eager and kept shouting the name of Radiance.

What Marcos said was true. As long as Radiance absorbed all the souls of the moths present, her recovery would be a little faster. But for Radiance, that little bit of progress was really insignificant compared to the weight of the moths.

"My people, light will shine upon the earth once again!"

The majestic sound resounded throughout the shrine, and after the words were spoken, the radiant light shrank back into Mo Rong's body.

When the moths came to their senses, they looked at him with admiration, and swarmed over him, wanting to touch him, as if by touching him they would be touching their god.

Mo Rong was frightened by the scene. When he was about to run away, several vague voices suddenly came from the sky, which also made the moth tribe stop and listen.

"...Moth Clan statue?"

"...It's really mysterious..."

"...withdraw...destroy the statues..."

The first few sentences were fine, until the words "destroy the statue" were heard, and then the moths' eyes showed anger and fear.

They are trapped in the shrine and cannot leave. As souls that depend on the shrine, they will disappear completely if the statue is destroyed.

But Mo Rong was different from Marcos. The latter became furious upon hearing this and immediately left the shrine in a ray of light.

"How dare you!!!"

The roar accompanied by the sudden flash of light instantly engulfed Lu Ruien. The insects standing at the entrance of the cave were frightened by this sudden change and rushed over.

But before they got there, two figures flew out from the ball of light, and Marcos' bone nails pressed towards Lu Ruien. The latter remained calm, and retreated while grabbing the bone nails that were gradually coming towards him.

"You actually tried to destroy our clan's shrine. You're courting death!"

Marcos's attack became more and more fierce, and Zemor and Delia, who were not far away, also recognized the fiery figure. After looking at each other, they rushed forward, wanting to help Lu Ruien, but as if there was a flash of light again, a figure stopped Marcos before them.

"Stop!"

Mo Rong put his hand on Marcos' shoulder and pulled him back, immediately separating him from Lu Ruien.

Marcos turned around and saw Mo Rong's serious face, so he snorted coldly, put away the bone nails and stood back beside him, but the murderous intent in his eyes still did not fade away.

Ida and his group also hurriedly stood behind Lu Ruien, looking at the tall figure covered in golden light not far away, and hostility gradually emerged in their eyes.

"This guy......"

Zemor turned his head to look at Ida, his eyes more serious than ever before.

Not only them, but also other bugs including Lu Ruien were in a heavy mood, because they all saw that the most powerful opponent in front of them was not Marcos who had just burst out with momentum, but the calm and relaxed man standing in front of him, who seemed to have no...

"Quiror?!"

A cry of surprise suddenly disrupted their thoughts. Qui Ruo, who was called, subconsciously took a step back and stared at Mo Rong vigilantly.

The insects looked at them, and Ida whispered, "Quiruo, your friend?"

Kui Ruo looked Mo Rong up and down carefully, trying hard to find even the slightest clue from his memory, but to no avail.

"No, I don't know him at all, and I don't know why he called me."

Seeing them whispering, Mo Rong suddenly realized that he had completely changed, and hurriedly said, "I am Mo Rong, Quiro! And Ida!"

Ida and Quiro's pupils shrank at the same time, and they looked at Mo Rong in disbelief, but were interrupted by Delia just as they were about to speak.

"He has a strong smell of dreams."

Zemor nodded. They had both seen Marcos who was endowed with power by the Radiance. The aura he exuded at that time was exactly the same as that of Mo Rong now.

"The God of Light can invade the dreams of any living being and can also seize their memories. Don't take it lightly."

Mo Rong was picked up by Lu Ruien. He remembered clearly what the former looked like, and it had nothing to do with the present.

"It's very simple. Just take him back and let the queen decide!"

Delia disliked Marcos, so she was naturally hostile to Mo Rong who was standing next to him, not to mention that he was the target of their trip.

She disappeared instantly with the bone nail in her hand. When the insects saw her take action, they had to follow her steps and attacked Mo Rong together.

Mo Rong really didn't know what the grudge between him and Delia was. Apart from the time they met at the selection competition, they would fight almost every time they met afterwards.

It's time to give her a taste of her own medicine.

A strong wind suddenly blew up, and Delia had already come behind Morong. Seeing that he was unprepared, she immediately hit him on the back of the neck with a bone nail without hesitation.

"Drea, watch out behind you!"

Behind, behind what?

Delia looked puzzled, but she felt a sense of emptiness in her palm. The next moment, she felt a heavy blow on her neck, and her eyes went dark and she could no longer see anything.

Zemor held the bone nails tightly, and although his body was moving fast, he was like a hurricane, but he stopped completely when he touched a glowing bone nail.

"Quirro, Ida, and Sister Wasp, are you sure you want to take action too?"

Mo Rong looked at the three figures rushing towards him, shook his head helplessly, and suddenly two arms stretched out from his ribs, with a grin on his face.

"Then I'll show you something fun."
