so i found a funny glitch where if you don't guard impact angel's spear during ult trial then like all guard impacts after that will have edda pulling the spear out her ass and yeeting it at the enemy

Also I am throwing this random idea at you

Worldless × Hollow Knight crossover

"The Abyss is sealed for a reason-it's no place for common bug, let alone beings of light. Should you choose to break that seal and brave its depths, do not expect to return."

Edda simply stared at the horned creature clad in red. Aven whispered from their closet. "She thinks I'm a being of light?" His tone sounded mocking.

"...let's go." She tipped him out with the grace of an adamantoise and walked up to the sealed door, inspecting the network of light that arose when she touched its rough surface.

"So what do you think- green sword?" Aven groaned after brushing off the dust he gathered from his tumble. "You know this stuff's dangerous for me, right?"

"And you kept pushing me into water just to be sure. Well, I want to be certain as well."

"Ass."

"Green sword, but there's not enough room to swing down, we'll have to stab it."

Hornet, to her credit, did not completely doubt them, as she glared in annoyance rather than dismissal. "If there is anyone unable to claim the King's Brand that could still breach the Abyss, it would be you, but do not assume a change in weaponry will assist you."

Edda and Aven replied in united division.

"You'll see/Just you wait."

The seal, to it's credit, held up for 8 seconds before the cosmic blade sank into the glowing sigil with a sharp chunk, turning the door to fragments.

The little Knight was not hollow. It had ambition, goals it set for itself. It had compassion and kindness for the people of Hallownest; it did not have much to say, but offered it's companionship nonetheless. It had fears and nightmares, cornered and crawling in the dark with monsters and apathy.

So it was perhaps not so surprising, when the world shook and the ceiling shattered, when the Eye from Above fell; when the Knight returned to the one living kind soul it had known in these lands only to find them frozen with arm shielding from above, humming with energy that did not belong to it-

It was not so surprising that the Knight shrieked. The dream nail was in their hand immediately, seeking for a sign of what had happened.

They did not expect the teleportation. They walked past other old ones petrified in a past agony, spear piercing the body of one of them as it slowly turned to flakes. They walked past the field of spears, over a mockingly radiant floor. They beheld the light gently floating down from above, intent unreadable.

"ANOMALY. INVASION. OPPORTUNITY."

The Knight swung its nail, but there was nothing there to hit. It was as if they didn't exist.

"PERMISSION. VOID. EXISTENCE."

The light threw a multitude of spearpoints their way; the knight did their best to dodge, but their sword arm got briefly scraped by an errant projectile. Three masks broke.

"OPPORTUNITY. FOCUS."

The words of the higher being were clear enough to the knight after slogging through the gibberish of the archives in an attempt understand the Pale King's plan. It was going to be forced into focusing Soul.

"VESSEL. HONOR. GODHOOD."

The little Knight was not hollow-none of the vessels were. Even the abyss had an element of fullness to it that made it unsuited to containment of anything.

"VESSEL. NEW. CREATE."

No- the way of the Abyss was destruction. Consumption.

Absorption.

The knight's shell split in half as the Void Heart sprang forth, tendrils of darkness seeping in from all directions and weaving into the Void. The hunger of the God of the Abyss was as strong as ever, claws of darkness finding purchase on the curved light as it sunk its teeth into the core, cracking symbols of infinity.

All They could do was scream.

Did the Final Fantasy series serve as an inspiration for Worldless?

(I've noticed the names of some of the enemies correlate with FF creatures, like Tomberi and Adamantoise.)

Yes, absolutely, it was a big inspiration!
