The Pale King's family affairs.

An incarnation of a higher will who has allowed his "children" to sacrifice countless times and made the statement that "any sacrifice will be made" has produced emotions that belong to mortal things.

And the knight who was not afraid of death countless times and walked on the road of sacrifice also awakened his true will in the process.

This dream belongs to the Hollow Knight, a dream of waiting and expectation. Not the usual dreams of struggle, despair, born of the Pale King's blending with the radiant dreams.

It's a dream to see my father again on the occasion of awakening.

Wan Yi didn't make any comments, and glanced at the moth clone, a little helpless.

Suddenly, the world shook.

A golden light shone through, illuminating the silvery white and black space.

When their eyes were filled with light, and when they regained their vision, they appeared in a bright dream.

Aside from the solitary platform they were on, there were only endless golden clouds floating around.

A huge ball of light appeared in front of him, and then spread its wings and transformed into the full form of a large radiant moth.

"Put! I! Go out! Go! "He uttered a high soprano voice.

"What's going on?" Wan also asked.

The Hollow Knight exists in the form of the Pale Prince, and in this dream, it relies on its great power to directly send radiant light into the deep dream, and without a seal, this incarnation of high will will will not be able to get up for a while.

So how did it come out now?

"The dream is coming to an end, in the pure container choose to awaken, the moment I decide to step in, this dream is out of the stable reincarnation that I have finalized, and now it is the consequence of the reincarnation being broken, and the radiant light has input more power to take this dream away." The Pale King's tone was flat, as if he had been prepared for a long time.

"You already knew that." Wan Yi looked at it and said.

"It's just a dream, there are countless dreams in the realm, as long as it doesn't get taken advantage of by the radiant light, it doesn't hurt to give it that dream."

The essence of the Pale King is still a high will, and it is already remarkable to be able to awaken a trace of family affection, but other than that, its persistence and ruthlessness will not change.

Suddenly, Wan Yi felt a chill in his hands.

The badge given by the void appeared in his hand at some point, and immediately after, the golden color of this piece of heaven and earth suddenly dimmed, and more pitch-black void liquid began to rise, directly turning the platform into a sea of shadows.

The Void tendrils fluttered with teeth and claws, trying to reach everything on the platform.

The Pale King used his own power to flick the tendrils around him open.

The radiant glowed, shattering the entangled void.

Only Wan Yi was impregnated in the void, but he was not harmed by the void, but his body was also wrapped in the void.

He became a shadow of a cockroach.

At this moment, his silhouette seemed to have completely turned into a cockroach, no longer having a cute and cute appearance, but full of greed and malice towards existence like the void.

"Void, sure enough, I won't let go of this place." The Pale King said.

Suddenly, the little knight in front of him rushed into the void.

Stripping off his cloak and mask, he became a different kind of shadow, and countless void tendrils spread out on his body, and the strange void was lined up, grabbing Wan Ye and pulling him out.

Wan Yi's hateful appearance faded, turned back into a two-headed body, and said helplessly: "Actually, I have a way, but forget it, I'm very happy if you take the initiative to pull me out." ”

There was a dark shadow with the outline of a little knight in front of him, and his big white eyes looked straight at Wan Yi.

Wan Yi looked behind him, and the void liquid condensed into the outline of a higher being.

It was even bigger than it was on the stage of the theater, and the void tentacles on his body were even more frenzied, looking greedily at all the beings in front of him.

"It's not the same as I said, I didn't call you out." Wan Yi said.

The Void Focus Body stretched out its claws, and there was no meaning of communication, or it could not be received even if it was communicated, so it was default that there was no communication.

"What you have just said, O great Pale King, I can understand that it doesn't matter to you what this dream is, and you won't bother with it, and let other wills fight over it?" Wan Yi's tone suddenly switched to a somewhat exaggerated dramatic tone.

The Pale King bowed: "Yes." ”

"In that case...... Let me lift the final curtain for this dream! ”

Wan Yi suddenly showed a wicked smile and raised his hand directly.

Knock Knock...... Knock knock!

The sound of a heartbeat sounded.

A scarlet heart hangs high in the sky, with multiple faces on it, looking at everything below.

"Nightmare Heart......" said the Pale King.

Another High Will joins, but even so, it is still not enough in the face of the Void Focus that borrows the Void Heart to launch a full-scale invasion.

It has come to this point not so much that the Pale King doesn't want to care, but that even He can't stop it.

Is this what Wan Yi relies on?

Of course not.

When has Wan Yi relied on these unreliable high positions?

He's had enough!

After entering this boundary, one by one the higher beings arranged things on him with their own thoughts! With so much thought, how to play a good drama!

"Higher Will Form Rewritten." Wan Yi said slowly.

In the next moment, the Nightmare Heart directly turned into countless scarlet flames and rushed into Wan Yi's body.

Subsequently, Wan Yi's figure began to split.

What really has to be relied on is himself.

It was not Wan Yi who split out, but cockroaches.

And unlike in the past, cockroaches regenerate cockroaches, constantly splitting, with Wan Yi as the source, the cockroaches below continue to split!

These cockroaches are "clones", but they are not doppelgangers generated by Wan Yi's own abilities.

Use the Nightmare Heart, a person of the higher will of the dream realm, to extract the cluster thoughts in Wan Yi's mind and change the form of the nightmare in this realm.

It is the untouchable taboo of this dream: the black wind, the nightmare cockroach.

The Nightmare Cockroach looks like a cockroach, but in fact it is an alternative creature that retains its oval appearance and has six line-like legs and long antennae, and does not completely reproduce the realistic cockroach structure.

These cockroaches are all trivial fragments of thinking in Wan Yi's daily life.

In this dream, it is transformed into a nightmare, and according to its original nature, it continues to split and replicate itself.

The number of cockroaches soon exceeded the upper limit of the platform created by the radiant light and began to burrow into the surrounding sea of shadows.

Subsequently, they began to eat.

Nibble on the Sea of Shadows, nibble on the only light, and chew everything here into nutrients.

"Then ......" Wan Yi said, turning his head to look at the Pale King.

At this moment, his figure was no longer a cockroach with a two-headed body, but changed back to his original humanoid posture, leaned back and looked at the Pale King, and said:

"This dream is mine."

It all came to an abrupt end.

……

The white palace shook violently, and a large number of black cockroaches crawled out of the black eggs in front of them.

Cullom looked at this scene in shock, and did not react at all, and was directly covered by the cockroach tide.

It didn't feel pain, just stared at the black creatures crawling on top of it.

"Black Wind...... Sure enough...... After saying this, it fell into darkness.......

Outside, the black wind reappeared, burrowing out of the sewers of the City of Tears.

Wan Yi's normal doppelganger, the fragments of his thoughts are also constantly being precipitated into nightmares, cockroaches gnawing at everything around him.

All this, becoming a real black wind, gradually swept the entire Holy Nest.

The whole dream begins to decompose, and then ......

……

Cullom woke up, and found himself lying on his stomach outside the palace square, business as usual, the broken square, the ruins of the palace, the dry door.

"Huh? What's wrong? What happened? It looked around.

Suddenly, it heard a noise next to it and realized that it was the little knight.

The little knight also seemed to have just gotten up, and was looking at his hands, looking at them repeatedly, and finally looking up at Cullom.

They looked at each other for a long time, and after a few unilateral words, Cullom prepared to return the way he came.

The two return to the City of Tears, where they meet Quiro in a rest stop in front of a building under the never-ending rain curtain.

It sits on a bench with a "hat" on its head.

"Hi there, nice to see you all again. I had just returned from my teacher's archive and was shocked to find that the plague infections were all gone. After walking for a long time, I felt a little tired and wanted to take a rest on this bench, but it turned out to be like I had fallen asleep, and it seemed like I had a nightmare, I can't remember the content, but I woke up very tired, but there was a kind of reborn refreshment. Quiro spoke.

"Hello Mr. Quiro, have you seen your teacher?" Cullom asked.

Quiro paused, then said, "Well, I see." ”

"Is it okay?"

"Hahaha, it's good, but when I'm older, I start to live in seclusion, and I do some observation and research on weekdays. It gave me its favorite mask in the hope of giving me strength and support in my future journeys. Quiro gestured to his hat, which turned out to be a mask that was a little too big for it.

"Well, that's suitable." Cullom said that the large mask was indeed appropriate to wear as a hat.

"What about you? What did you encounter on your journey? Quiro asked.

Cullom and the young knight glanced at each other, sat down beside Quirrell, and began to tell the story of their journey.

After a long time, after telling the story, Kui Ruo said with some emotion: "The Pale King is no longer there, but the plague infection has also been eliminated by you, and you are the great heroes of the Holy Nest." ”

"I just fell asleep outside, and I didn't do anything at all, all thanks to the little knights." ”

The little knight didn't squint, but shook his head slightly.

I don't understand, but it's been so silent that it can only be seen as modest.

"So, I'm going to take another look at this Hallownest after the chaos has subsided, and hopefully we'll see each other on our journeys in the future, and tell me the story of your trip when the time comes?" Quiro laughed.

"Well, goodbye, Mr. Quirrell." Cullom said.

Quiro was gone, and the little knight and Cullom sat on the benches and rested for a long time.

Suddenly, the little knight jumped down and walked in one direction, with a very fast pace.

Cullom realized something and immediately shouted, "Little knight, goodbye!" ”

The little knight's footsteps paused.

"The next time we meet, I'll be a qualified fighter! Let's go on a walk together! ”

The little knight raised the bone spike, waved it in response, and walked away.

Cullom watched the rain in silence before him, and finally got up from his bench and left in the rain.

……

Praying Mantis Village, Deep.

Bite!

The four ring flying blades collided, staggered, and the three figures quickly overlapped and collided together.

Boom!

The two Mantis Lords were knocked out and returned to their seats.

The last three mantis lords looked at the young mantis in front of them in disbelief, stood up from their seats together, and saluted it.

Cullom returned the salute and turned to leave.

In the process, the wings, which had shrunk to support flight, fell off completely and fell to the ground.

It can now be accepted by Mantis Village, but it has no intention of staying.

Quirao's words, and the faint voice in his ears, told him that it shouldn't have stopped.

A nightmare seems to have taken something away, not heartbroken by loss, but it feels like that thing is indispensable.

It's going to continue its journey, encounter more bugs, and try to find out what that feeling is.

……

"Oh, it's you, silent little man, leaving Hallownest?"

The town in front of the mound of corpses seemed to have a little more insect aura at this time, and some rooms were lit up with warm lights.

It was the town elder bug who stopped the little knight.

The little knight did not speak, but looked at the old bug.

"You still don't like to talk, there was a traveler who was more able to speak than you before, and he was about as tall as you." The old bug said, "Anyway, I had a nightmare, I can't remember what it was, but when I woke up, I felt that feeling of depression was left behind, and I felt a lot more comfortable." ”

"I heard that the holy war is over? Thankfully, the bugs in the town are back, and it looks like I don't have to die in a bug-only town. ”

The old bug was in a happy mood and said a lot of things at once.

The little knight still looked at it quietly, and did not respond, but even so, the old bug was already satisfied.

It had said a lot of similar things to the other bugs who woke up in the town, and the other bugs were annoyed.

"Haha, I'm glad you heard me say that. I was supposed to go back and do some work, but I seem to have gotten used to standing here. In the future, every time I was free, I would stand here and talk to the travelers who passed by about these things. ”

After the old bug is satisfied, he sends a blessing to the little knight who is about to leave.

The little knight nodded in response and left the town called Uttermouth.

Passing through the fork in the road, it looked at the storm crashing into the distance as it fell to the ground.

However, the name plate of "Storm Crash" has been crossed out.

Because the storm on the mountain has dispersed, the old bug says that he wants to give it a more auspicious name.

Unfortunately, the creepy name of "Hill of Corpses" can't be changed, and the rest of the bugs can only clean up the real piles of corpses when the future Hallownest is fully recovered.

The little knight walked on the mound of corpses, ready to leave the Hallownest.

窸窸窣窣窣......

A strange voice rang out.

The little knight stopped, then turned his head.

A sneaky black oval creature was spotted.
