Blood Wasp 3: Godhome

Blood Wasp 3: Godhome is an animated film made by ThatIsAPirate and the eleventh project of the Hollow Knight Cinematic Universe and a sequel to Blood Wasp 2: The Hive War and False Knight, and ties into episodes 12 and 13 of Dream Raiders.

Plot
Following the Hive War, Blood Wasp is tasked with hunting down different enemies in the kingdom. Each of the enemies have worshippers, ranging from a small to large amount, and regarded as "gods" to a being known as the Godseeker. Wasp continues to hunt these gods in hopes of reaching the Radiance, a powerful entity that reigns supreme over Hallownest, controlling the deadly virus known as the Infection.

Part 1: The Radiance
The movie opens with Blood Wasp battling the Failed Champion, a large, armored maggot in the Dream Realm. Wasp defeats the Failed Champion, though before finishing his foe, comes to the realization that the Infection was destroying this creature, and that killing it would only carry on the Infection's true purpose. Instead, Wasp tries to save the Failed Champion by breaking it out of the Dream Realm. The two work together and form a plan to escape the dream by destroying the current arena, allowing the two to fall out of the dream. The Failed Champion thanks Wasp for his help before getting to work: he swings his mace at the nearest wall, breaking a hole in it. Wasp and the Failed Champion stand on the edge and after a short conversation, jump out.

Unfortunately, not all go as planned. They make it out successfully, however, a portal has formed from where they exited, and does not close. This is not the only portal that opens though: portals begin to open all throughout the kingdom, and Wasp is to blame. Wasp and Failed Champion attempt to cover up the portal, though in doing so, are accidentally dragged back into the Dream Realm, where they meet The Radiance: the ultimate evil that lurks within the kingdom. Wasp puts two and two together and realizes this is the light that has been Infecting the kingdom, causing it's downfall.

Wasp challenges the Radiance, a large, angelic creature that makes her way to her challenger. Wasp is severely underprepared for this battle, but he realizes that this may be his only chance to stop this ancient evil. Luckily, he has his new ally by his side to help him.

The Radiance lets out a blazing roar and then begins shooting beams of light energy at Wasp. Luckily, the Failed Champion jumps in the way, deflecting it with his mace. He then leaps up and slams it onto the head of the Radiance, who teleports away. She appears behind Wasp and shoots another beam, and Wasp dodges. He leaps up and slashes the Radiance as she an orb appears in the distance, charging at Wasp. Wasp jumps over the orb, which crashes onto the ground, and runs back at the Radiance, though she disappears. The being reappears behind the Failed Champion, blasting him with an energy beam and knocking him unconscious.

Alone, Wasp dodges another attack before jumping up at the Radiance, slashing it in the head. The Radiance teleports away as spikes rise from the glowing circles in the ground, barely missing Wasp. The Radiance teleports to the left side of the platform, and Wasp follows, jumping up again though missing. As the Failed Champion gets back up, the Radiance dives at him, knocking him backwards and nearly off the platform. Wasp jumps, though is knocked by an energy orb. The Radiance stares angrily at the Failed Champion before roaring and shooting a beam, which hits the Failed Champion's chestplate, knocking him off the platform. However, at the last minute, the Failed Champion is able to swing his mace and throw it at the Radiance, smashing her stomach. The Radiance falls to the ground and Wasp smacks her continuously with his nails. Soon, Void Tendrils begin to rise from the bottom of the Dream Realm. Wasp's connection with the Void of Hallownest has brought them here, and they aid him in his battle against the Radiance. The tendrils wrap the Radiance, allowing Wasp to continue to hit her.

The Radiance roars and breaks free, flying up and creating five seperate platforms. Wasp continues to jump from platform to platform, dodging her attacks and hitting her. Eventually, the Void Tendrils catch up, repeatedly lashing her. Wasp makes it to the top-most platform and jumps down onto the Radiance below him, swinging his nail down and landing on the adjacent platform. The Radiance teleports far up in the skies, though the Void Tendrils continue to rise. Wasp leaps onto one of the tendrils and holds tightly as the Radiance's beams rain from above. Wasp dodges all of them and as the tendrils make it to the top, he jumps, throwing both of his nails as hard as he can at the Radiance's face. The Radiance roars one last time before bursting into light.

Part 2: Godhome
Time has passed since the battle with the Radiance. Despite killing her, the Infection is not gone yet: Wasp still needs to target her Dream form, a powerful variant known as the Absolute Radiance. Little is known of this being - Wasp asks many of his allies, none of which have any knowledge of how to rid the kingdom of the Infection. His search brings him to the Junkpit, a trashyard located underneath the City of Tears. There, he meets a young fluke girl known as the Fluke Hermit.

The Fluke Hermit tells him about the Godseekers, an ancient race of bugs thought to be a fairy tale. She also speaks of the Flukes, the insects that infest the Royal Waterways. However, during their conversation, a large swarm of Flukes comes flying down from the Junkpit entrance. They are looking for the Fluke Hermit, who hides in a broken chest. The Flukes interrogate Wasp, asking if he has seen the hermit, to which he lies, protecting his new friend. The Flukes are suspicious and questions him further. Having enough of this, Wasp whips out his nail and attacks the leading Flukemon. After a battle with the Fluke swarm, Wasp successfully defeats them all. The Fluke Hermit exits her hiding spot when a large, slimy worm-like fluke comes crashing out of the entrance: a Flukemunga. The Flukemunga charges at the two, with Wasp pushing the Fluke Hermit out of the way and taking the hit.

Wasp is knocked to the ground and struggles to get back up. The Flukemunga crashes into a a large pile of junk before turning around, aiming at Wasp once again. It charges, and Wasp barely crawls out of the way. He gets to his feet and readies his nail as the Flukemunga charges once again. He jumps out of the way and slides the nail accross the skin of the Flukemunga. The beast squeals and starts moving off his direction, eventually crashing into a gold coffin. The lid of the coffin falls, crushing the Fluke and causing it to explode.

Wasp and the Fluke Hermit examine the coffin - a mysterious figure is seen inside. The two approach it carefully, and he large, obese creature slumps over onto the ground. As the two come closer, the figure is clear: a Godseeker.

Wasp swings his Dream Nail at the Godseeker, allowing him to enter the Dream Realm once more. Wasp appears in Godhome, where several Godseekers attack him, believing him to be a threat. Confused to their hostility, Wasp defends himself and asks several questions. The last time he was here, they had been extremely kind and welcoming. Why had they suddenly changed?

One Godseeker states that they believed he was an attacker and affiliated with a previous group that attacked him. Confused, Wasp asks more about the group. The Godseeker states that they had entered Godhome through a portal and slaughtered several Godseekers before being banished. Wasp apologizes for what happened and makes his way to the Hall of Gods, which allows him to battle several past foes that have been brought to Godhome. He decides to test his strength against the Brooding Mawlek, a creature Wasp had faced near the beginning of his journey.

He than proceeds to enter the Pantheon of the Master. The Pantheons serve as a gauntlet of past gods Wasp has defeated, and he must complete them all in order to reach his final foe, the Absolute Radiance, since he still needs to rid Hallownest of the infection.
