Hollow Knight: Hallownest

Mo Rong knew that the Void God would definitely shift his target to the delicate flowers first. He knew it from the moment he took out the flowers.

He never thought that a powerful ancient god could be killed with just a flower.

What he wanted was expulsion and purification, just like the flowers and the Godseeker in the game.

Ever since the other party joined the battle, Mo Rong had been thinking about how to kill the Void God, but he didn't have any idea until he took out the flower... no, until the other party turned into 'himself'.

Can the shadow be erased?

This thing is the same as light. How to kill or erase something abstract?

So even though the ancient god had been sleeping for a long time, the White King could not think of a way to destroy it, and finally had to use his predecessors as a medium to seal the radiation.

But, although light and darkness will not disappear, there is one thing that will. He can understand this thanks to the reminder of the Void God -

It's will.

Will gives these abstract things thoughts and behaviors, just like the birth of void entities in the game—

It is formed by the gathering of the void and the condensation of countless void wills.

Those scattered and weak wills blended and unified with each other, and then a great will and a god who controlled the shadows were born.

Now, the void will that he was facing had his own share, and,

The portion is not low.

Even though most of these theories are conjectures, and the questions about the proportion of will are mostly estimates, Mo Rong believes in his own inferences.

He learned about the process of his birth from Somas. The fact that he was able to stand out from countless experiments and become the only void creation showed that his void will was inherently higher than that of other containers and compatriots.

He is the chosen one and the only one.

And when he saw that the Void God still retained his body, he knew that was the most powerful proof.

The Void God would not keep the body of an ordinary void creature for no reason.

When everything is sorted out, the plan is born——

He wants to expel himself.

To be precise, it is to expel the empty will that remains in his former body.

"Uhhh-!!!"

The sudden change made the Void God look horrified at first, and then rage and pain emerged from deep within.

The moment he grasped the flower, his entire body suddenly began to expand and deform, and wisps of black gas escaped from his body, just like when Mo Rong took the flower out of his body before, and scrambled to escape.

But the result was different from what Mo Rong had imagined.

The Void God quickly let go of his hand, controlled the dispelled Void Will, and stopped the loss in time.

Even so, his figure became visibly lighter, seemingly no longer so pure.

Is it only this far... Mo Rong quickly caught the flower and saw that the black spots had spread greatly, like a mass of black mist imprinted on the petals, which had already been mostly contaminated.

So there's only one chance left for purification?

He clenched his palms, took a last look at the flower, and then put it in his arms.

The Void God lowered his head, his pupils shrunk almost to the size of needle tips. The heavy power of the void almost squeezed and deformed the air around him, and his anger caused the black fog to tremble.

The will of the void is the foundation of the gods, and Mo Rong touched the reverse scale that he must not touch.

Mo Rong leaned down, staring at him without blinking.

It's going to be difficult...

Suddenly, the oppressive atmosphere receded, and the Void God raised his head and looked at each other. Anger and calmness barely pulled his emotions on the edge of losing control.

But he still didn't move.

"You want to use that flower to break my will, don't you?"

"I am angry, but now I have to admit that you are wise and have seen through the few weaknesses of the Void."

Mo Rong didn't expect the other party to admit it directly. He originally thought that the Void God would conceal it a little for the sake of his face.

“HA ...!!!”

The Void God suddenly laughed, and his laughter was mixed with many emotions.

Is this...crazy?

Mo Rong frowned and couldn't help but take two steps back.

"You are very smart. You are so smart that you figured out the weakness of the void that has stood for who knows how many years in just one lifetime."

"But you are also very stupid, and this stupidity will make it impossible for you to kill me no matter what!"

The Void God was still smiling, with no sign of stopping.

"What do you mean?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Void God's laughter stopped abruptly, and he suddenly raised his hand and pointed at him.

At this moment, Mo Rong's pupils suddenly dilated, the pain was so severe that it seemed as if his heart was about to explode, and his body hunched over like a shrimp.

His body also became less bright.

Beside his ear, the Void God laughed again, and the next words of the former made him feel as if he fell into an icy cave.

"Yes, if the will in this body is dispelled by that flower, I will indeed suffer a serious injury. Even with your current strength, you will be able to defeat me easily."

"But the premise of all this is that the being who dispels the will cannot be you!"

The words of the Void God suddenly became harsh. He slowly walked to Mo Rong's side, leaned over and whispered in his ear, as if he wanted to stab him with another knife in the pain.

"Don't forget where you came from. Even though you are now driving a body of light, your will will never change!"

"You are born into emptiness and you will be emptiness until you die!"

No matter how slow Mo Rong was, he understood what the other party meant at this moment.

All of his plans were based on an extremely important premise, which was that his former body had been disconnected from him.

He took it for granted that Shadow 'Mo Rong' and Light 'Mo Rong' were two different entities.

After all, he still underestimated his own void will.

Even though it is incomplete, even though its body has been replaced by light, the will of the chosen one can still establish an inseparable connection between the two incompatible forces.

Perhaps without the obstruction of the Void God, I should have been able to sense that connection long ago.

"I think you should understand that if you insist on doing that, there will only be one consequence..."

"I will die before you."

Mo Rong gritted his teeth and helped the Void God finish the second half of his sentence.

puff--

The bone nail penetrated into the flesh and pierced half of his body, but it was not fatal.

The Void God pulled out the bone nail, picked another one and inserted it again, torturing slowly, as if he wanted to avenge all the humiliation he had suffered before.

"Desperate?"

"What a perfect plan, but the mistake is that you are the one who executed it. If it was the moth that I crushed, maybe there would be a better chance of success."

Mo Rong trembled again and again because of the pain, but his mind was clear in the extreme pain.

The place where the flower was suddenly blurred, and at a certain moment it completely merged into his body.

Under the golden wrapping, the surface of the petals was completely polluted, and there was no trace of whiteness left!
