My heart breaks to see that scene where Void is oozing out of Godseeker’s physical body as he sits hunched over in the Junk Pit it looks like he’s crying Void from his tears, and he appears confused and sad as he is consumed by it. Then he sacrifices his life (unknowingly?), consumed by the Void as he enables the Knight as Shade Lord (his ultimate form?) to do battle with Absolute Radiance and defeat it, destroying the Infection. Though he detects “gods” (higher beings) abound in Hallownest, he really doesn’t know where he is - he’s lost in the past, his own little dimension, the kingdom in his dreams that he still rules upon a gilded throne as he truly sits amidst ruins. My heart breaks for him, as he is truly confused from remaining in his cocoon for so long, washed into the Junk Pit of dying Hallownest, and seemingly too big to move. I think it’s sweet how he humbles himself a bit and takes the Delicate Flower when it is given to him by the Knight, even though he expresses outwardly that he is downright confused by the gesture and feels it isn’t bright and godly enough to meet his ultra high standards. “Thou crawler, thou cringer! Smallest of the small!” At first he is displeased by the Knight, calling him “Crawler” and seeing him as a lower life-form not worth his time - but as you progress through his pantheons, he gains a bit of respect for the little guy and is astonished by his power to defeat all of the “gods” he has assembled - though he expresses it in his typical quirky irritable way. I find him so amusing and endearing, especially his disgruntled archaic dialogue. Again, like Zote and Oro, he’s a lovable grouch, irritable, fancying himself a higher being seeking other higher beings. He’s basically a time-traveler from the past, binding himself into a literal time-capsule. I think he’s a Goliath Beetle - he highly resembles this type of massive bug and he’s definitely a scarab beetle. He will cast out the Knight in annoyance when approached in his dream/memory.
