Hollow Knight: Hallownest

The White Lady was surprised when she saw the puppet at first.

As a rare advanced creature from the Root Clan, her root system can reach almost anywhere she wants, whether on top of a mountain or under a lair.

But there was only one place that was rejected by the roots. The energy contained in the matter there almost withered all the vegetation, and she was unable to fight against it.

When the puppet stood in front of her, the aura it exuded immediately reminded her of that place.

"Your Majesty, what is this?"

Her eyes were full of curiosity. Although she didn't like the puppet, she actually noticed the aura of King Bai in it.

"Queen, I have thought about it for a long time, and I still need your help on this matter."

King Bai was beside the puppet, and with a slight thought in his mind, the puppet immediately knelt down to Mrs. White.

"Could it be that this is the method your king came up with to seal that ancient god?"

"Yes, I believe you can feel the aura of the puppet. It has the opposite power to light. This is why I chose it as the sealing medium."

Mrs. White nodded. It turned out that the king did this during the period when he disappeared.

"Then what do you need me to do?"

King Bai waved his hand, and a white pillar similar to a washbasin appeared in front of Madam Bai. King Bai's whole body lit up, and the puppet was softened into a piece of liquid and placed inside.

"Queen, I need you to use your power to erase the mind in this, can you do it?"

"let me try."

As she spoke, Madam White stretched out her hands, and the roots swayed to gradually release a white energy that belonged to her, slowly injecting it into the void material.

King Bai stared at the washbasin, concentrating on experiencing the changes in his soul. Lady Bai's scent was not unfamiliar to him, and could even be called extremely familiar. Needless to say, there was no need to explain the reason.

"Stop!"

When he noticed that the puppet had changed, King Bai hurriedly gave the order. Unfortunately, although Mrs. Bai stopped the release of energy, it was still a step too late.

At this time, three energies were rushing through the puppet's body, and soon the void matter turned into a pool of ordinary black liquid, slowly flowing out of the wash basin.

"Sorry, Your Majesty, it seems the experiment failed."

King Bai waved his hand.

"No need to apologize. It's not your fault. It was my reaction that was slow. Come again."

With a wave of his hand, a puppet went through the previous series of processes again. This time, King Bai was more careful, and almost at the moment when the puppet changed, he called Mrs. White to stop.

Successful.

King Bai looked at the void material slowly forming in the washbasin, and the corners of his mouth rose uncontrollably.

"Your Majesty, was it successful this time?"

Mrs. Bai looked at King Bai standing in front of the sink, and she could feel his intense changes in mood.

"Success!"

The White King picked up the substance in the basin and turned around, showing it to the White Queen beside him.

"Look at it."

"There is no mind that can think."

"There is no will to bend."

“There is no cry for suffering.”

"Born from the hands of God and the void."

"It is our hope to seal the ancient gods!"

Lady Bai looked at the ecstasy in King Bai's eyes, and couldn't help but smile as her words echoed in her ears.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, for solving a serious problem in my heart."

The ringing voice reached Bai Wang's heart, calming his current excitement.

King Bai put the substance in his hand back into the washbasin and looked at it without making a sound for a long time.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

"The energy in its body is not as peaceful as I imagined."

King Bai squinted his eyes and felt the material in the basin. His power was balancing with the void, while Queen Bai's power was attuning to it. But gradually, the void seemed to swallow Queen Bai's breath. Although the speed was extremely slow, he escaped. But his perception.

If this continues, sooner or later something will happen, and we will have to find a way to contain the meaning of the void.

Madam Bai sat aside quietly and did not disturb the concentrating King Bai. But at the next moment, King Bai's body suddenly burst out with incomparable majestic power and pressed towards the wash basin.

"What happened?!"

Everyone inside and outside the White Palace felt this aura, and couldn't help but look in one direction at the same time.

Orgrim took the lead and rushed towards the main hall. He had never seen His Majesty the King burst out with such momentum. Something must have happened in the main hall!

None of the four knights behind him were left behind, and they followed Orgrim towards the main hall, but not long after, a voice sounded in everyone's minds at the same time.

"Don't worry, everyone. Nothing happened in the main hall, so there is no need to come."

This voice came from King Bai. After hearing this, the four people stopped.

"Orgrim, the king is fine, go back!"

"No, I have to go see His Majesty the King!"

The four of them looked at each other for a few times, and then turned around and returned to the martial arts arena.

"Your Majesty, what happened?"

Mrs. Bai hurriedly walked to King Bai and asked with a frown.

King Bai raised his hand and saw a small white talisman in his palm.

"This is the origin of your soul?!"

"good."

With a slight force on his palm, there was a crisp sound, and the amulet split into two pieces. King Bai handed one of them to Mrs. White.

"Your Majesty! What do you mean?"

The origin of the soul is an indispensable part of everyone. It cannot be regenerated like blood. Once it is damaged, there is no way to repair it.

Once an ordinary person is damaged, his mind will be confused at least, or he will die suddenly on the spot. Even if King Bai has the power to reach the sky, this soul source is definitely not something that he can give up easily.

"Queen, please be patient. This void material is indeed the product of the same ancient god. Even if your power level is second only to mine, you still cannot resist its erosion."

"So I have to wrap it with the soul essence, otherwise one day, it will be affected by the void and become chaotic."

"I will leave this half of the talisman to you, and keep the other one in my hand. Only when the two talismans become one can the full power of the void be released, so you should keep it well and not let it out easily."

"Then why doesn't the king just destroy it?"

Mrs. White was a little confused. Since this thing has the danger of releasing the void again, wouldn't it be possible to destroy it once and for all?

King Bai remained silent, looking at the empty matter in the washbasin, his eyes blank for a long time, and finally he only said one sentence.

"Take it, no one can predict the future."

Seeing this, Mrs. White didn't say anything more and put away the half of the amulet.

"Your Majesty, you created this thing. I don't know what to call it yet."

"Since its birth, it has already shouldered its mission. It is for carrying and sealing."

"I call it a container."

"container......"

After hearing this, Mrs. Bai murmured a few words and looked into the wash basin again.

"Your Majesty, what should happen after this?"

"Call Nois, I have a new task to give her."

......

Soumas smiled wildly, not taking any precautions against the sudden attack.

Murong didn't believe that he had such a stronghold and had anticipated the plan to this point. Did that mean he gave up?

"boom!"

A powerful attack made Mo Rong's pupils tremble. He found that the attack falling from the sky was only aimed at himself.

No wonder, no wonder Soumas said he couldn't be killed by him.

It turns out that he is confident.

This force shattered several floors beneath him. Whether it was a coincidence or not, the place where Mo Rong finally fell was right near the snail shaman.

The surrounding guards were also confused by the movement and took a few steps back.

"Hi~, it hurts me to death!"

Mo Rong struggled to get up and picked up the bone nails on the side. After seeing the situation clearly, he immediately helped the shaman beside him. Then the crystal heart lit up and the ores gathered behind him.

"The green hills are still there, so you don't have to worry about running out of firewood."

"Soul Master, just be ready to dive and wait for me!"

The moment the ore exploded, Mo Rong looked up. For the sake of future reckoning, he wanted to know who attacked him at the last critical moment.

When his eyes came into contact with the familiar one-eyed mask, Mo Rong couldn't help but said:

"Lurien?!"
