I agree with this for the most part but I do have one... Erm, question. Wasn't the abyss stated to be completely unstoppable no matter WHAT you did? I mean it was halted when the Chosen Undead just game ended Manus, but... That didn't necessarily stop it from eventually taking over entirely right? Here let me see if I can find the quote... Ah, I found it. "Knight Artorias came to stop this, but such a hero has nary a murmur of dark, without doubt he will be swallowed by the abyss, over come by it's utter blackness. Indeed the abyss may be unstoppable, still... I have faith that princess may be rescued." I do think Elizabeth was implying that no matter WHAT the Chosen Undead did, or what anyone did for that matter, they couldn't stop the Abyss, and one day, it'll give way for the age of man. Because, the "darkness" that concerned Gwyn was what would come after the Flame faded, not necessarily a force like the Abyss. So you could say that the Abyss could over-power the infection, due to the fact that it had JUST began, and already was consuming the entirety of Oolacile. Meanwhile the infection gave more than enough time for Soul Master to try and cure it, hell he SURVIVED it until The Knight killed him. Also instead of just... Taking over the host, and granting additional health such as the case with the Traitor Lord, with the Abyss it gave Manus ungodly powers which was witnessed by the Chosen Undead, already with the abilities of a primeval man. Artorias gave full example of this, surging the abyss to blast the Chosen Undead away, along with beefing his attacks up. Meanwhile with the Hollow Knight, it gave a variety of attacks, but I didn't see anything such as increasing his attack power during his engagement with The Knight AKA the protagonist of the game, and this might just be pure speculation, but wouldn't the void also count as darkness? Implying that the blade of Artorias would strike harder and more lethally against a vessel? I could be wrong, but it just implied "dark servants" not being specific, and the Void looked pretty dark to me. But of course... I got off topic, I do think the Hollow Knight would of won the fight, but from a gameplay and lore aspect, The Abyss overpowers the Infection, thank you for reading, and have a goodnight.
