Collapse, harem after the end of the world

"In particular, what exactly was the power he gave me at the end?" Adam covered his head with his hands, feeling the silent energy in his body, and his heart was confused.

Was it to prevent the Third Collapse? However, if such a historical event were prevented, the future would be doomed to be extremely dire. This question plunged him into deep thought.

As time went by, Adam simply gave up thinking. He realized that he couldn't think of any good ideas now, so he might as well find something practical to do to pass the time.

"First, I should find a place to live." Adam thought, and he looked for cheap apartments for rent in the city.

Unexpectedly, good luck came and he found an apartment that was about to be vacated. It seemed that God was not completely unfair to him, as even the furniture was ready, as if waiting for him to move in.

"Overall, it's not bad." Adam looked around the simple but cozy room, feeling an inexplicable sense of satisfaction. Perhaps because he had prepared valuable items to adapt to a different world, he didn't face the embarrassing situation of being homeless.

"It's already this late, let's go out for a nice meal today." Adam checked the time again and realized that night was approaching.

He was about to open the door and go out, but the moment he turned the doorknob, he saw a familiar white-haired girl about to go out.

The moment the two looked at each other, they were both stunned. Adam hadn't expected that the house he'd just randomly found would be right next door to Kiana's. Thinking back, Kiana, now traveling alone in search of her father, seemed to have very little money. She even had to work part-time to earn tuition to attend the prestigious Shangqianyu Academy. So, it wasn't surprising that she'd be living in a cheap apartment like this.

"It's you!" At this time, Kiana also recognized Adam. She stared at him in surprise, with an expression of disbelief on her face.

"Aren't you the person I bumped into during the day?" Kiana's voice was filled with a hint of anger.

Adam smiled and nodded. Although he was a little flustered, he tried to remain calm. He had never expected that he and Kiana would meet in this time and space and live in the same building.

"It seems that we are destined to be together, Miss Kiana." Adam tried to ease the awkward atmosphere with a humorous tone.

"You bastard!" Kiana furiously frowned, her gaze piercing Adam like a dagger. "It's all your fault! Not only did you make me late for school, but you also dropped the bread I saved so hard!" Kiana's words seemed to indicate she was going to severely injure Adam, showing no mercy.

However, Kiana wasn't as arrogant as she'd imagined. She simply glanced at Adam and let it go. She added, "Well, I'll forgive you this time. But if you stand in my way again, I'll be really angry." These words were like a gentle spring breeze, full of tolerance.

Adam looked at Kiana and sighed helplessly. Kiana was indeed a girl with a sharp tongue. Just then, Adam noticed that Kiana seemed to be preparing to go out.

"Speaking of which, is Kiana planning to eat something?" Adam couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Well, yes. I plan to go to the convenience store and buy a cheap bento." Although Kiana felt a little embarrassed, her current living expenses were only enough for her to buy a discounted bento.

"That's great. How about letting me treat you to a meal as an apology for this?" Adam invited, with a hint of apology in his tone.

Chapter 612: Starting to build a good relationship with the past Kiana

In the spacious hall of the Houm restaurant, a beautifully decorated table was filled with all of Kiana's favorite delicacies. Kiana sat at the table, the food in front of her made her ecstatic, like a greedy hamster, swallowing the food mouthful by mouthful.

Her mouth was filled with the aroma of various delicacies, which made her thank Adam incoherently: "Hmm~ I didn't expect you to be so kind and treat me to such delicious food." Kiana's mouth was full of food, and her speech was a little unclear, which made Adam smile bitterly and shook his head.

He couldn't help but wonder if this girl had always been so innocent and cute that she thought treating her to a meal was a sign of kindness. "Swallow your food before you speak. Who can understand you now?" Adam said helplessly, tapping Kiana on the forehead. Kiana smiled sheepishly and lowered her head to swallow the food in her mouth. "Hey, sorry, I haven't had a good meal in a long time," Kiana said to Adam awkwardly.

As a Valkyrie, Kiana should have a huge appetite, but because she does not have enough financial resources, she can only eat those pitifully small half-price lunch boxes every day.

"Speaking of which, how did you know my name?" Kiana looked at Adam with some confusion. If she remembered correctly, this was the first time she had met him.

"Because you are very famous. After all, there are not many foreign students in Qianyu College." Adam said.

"Really? I'm so famous now." Kiana said with a smile, seeming a little proud.

"But I think the idiot from Qianyu Academy is more suitable for a guy like you."

"What are you talking about!" Kiana said angrily. How could she be a fool? Although, she did often fail.

Adam looked at Kiana's angry expression and couldn't help laughing. "Hahaha, you are such a funny girl," he said.

Looking at Kiana's reaction at this moment, Adam laughed sincerely.

After all, we won’t see such an interesting expression on Kiana in the future.

Although I can't go back to the future now, it is still quite interesting to see Kiana here. I want to take a few photos now and show them to my future Kiana when I go back to the future.

"Come to think of it, who are you? You don't look like an ordinary person." At this time, Kiana also noticed Adam.

Although Adam was wearing casual clothes, the material was clearly not ordinary. Thinking about it, when I saw Adam this morning, he was carrying a high-tech-looking sword. He couldn't be an ordinary citizen, by any stretch of the imagination.

"So, who do you think I am?" Adam asked Kiana with interest.

"How would I know who you are? I'm sure you're not just any ordinary person." Kiana shook her head, tucking into her burger bite by bite. She wasn't interested in Adam's hidden secrets; she was only interested in the delicious food in front of her. To her, this was perhaps the most appealing thing.

Adam watched Kiana wolfing down her food and smiled helplessly. Some aspects of Kiana remained unchanged, whether now or in the future. He observed Kiana quietly, a warm feeling rising in his heart.

The restaurant's lights were soft and warm, casting a gentle glow on Kiana's face. A hint of contentment and happiness lingered between her brows, as if she and the food were the only beings in the world.

Adam's eyes rested tenderly on Kiana. He could sense her love for food and her passion for life. This seemingly innocent and lovely girl, with a carefree smile, seemed to brighten the world.

Kiana will have to shoulder too much in the future. Perhaps this age will be her happiest.

In the future, she will meet her two best friends in this city.

Mei and Bronya. Together, the three of them joined Saint Freya and became Valkyries. Day after day, they undertook various missions and battles, shouldering the responsibility of protecting humanity.

However, after much thought, Adam still couldn't let Kiana go. He knew the pressure and difficulties Kiana would face in the future, so he decided to accompany her and let her feel a little happiness at this moment.

After eating all the food on the table with Kiana, Adam packed some food for Kiana and took it back. He knew that these foods meant more to Kiana, they represented warmth and satisfaction.

The shops lining the street were brightly lit, and people hurried by, as if time had stood still. Kiana felt Adam's care for her, and she thought back to her future self, a Kiana burdened by pressure and loneliness. At this moment, she felt like she had returned to that happy time in Adam's company.

"Adam, thank you." Kiana said softly, with a hint of tenderness and gratitude in her voice.

Adam looked at her with a smile. He knew that his company brought some comfort and happiness to Kiana. He was willing to take on some of her pressure and let her feel the taste of happiness.

"You're welcome, Kiana. If you need any help, you can always come to me."

When the two returned to the apartment together, Kiana walked into the room with food full of joy. She felt that she really didn't expect that Adam would be such a kind person.

The light in the apartment was soft and warm, illuminating Kiana's smile. She leaned over the table, her heart filled with a sense of joy. For many years, Kiana had been living a wandering life, and her heart had become closed and defensive.

In the past years, Kiana had to be constantly vigilant against the potential malice of those around her, as she knew the world was not always kind. This also led to her coming to Changkong City for several months without making any real friends.

However, Adam's appearance made Kiana feel a little different. She didn't sense any malice from Adam, on the contrary, he seemed to genuinely want to help her.

Kiana couldn't help but ponder Adam's identity. His presence was a mystery to her, one she couldn't fathom. He exuded a mysterious yet resolute aura, as if hiding an endless story.

Who could possess such a high-tech weapon? What kind of person would care so much about her well-being? All this made Kiana curious and curious.

Kiana placed the food on the table and sat down beside it, gazing out the window at the night view. The block where the apartment was located had sunk into a quiet darkness, with only the faint glow of street lamps illuminating the quiet streets.

At this time, Adam also fell into a sleepless night.

Chapter 613: Kiana at the Academy

Adam spent a week in the past, filled with effort and determination, constantly searching for intelligence around him and comparing it with his memories. During this time, he experienced countless challenges and hardships, but he firmly believed that only by deeply understanding and mastering the intelligence could he unveil the truth.

As he knew, Ryoma Raiden, president of Massive Electric, a world-renowned multinational electronics manufacturer, was framed by Cocolia and defrauded of approximately $34 billion, ultimately being apprehended by the police. Ryoma's daughter, Mei Raiden, went from being the daughter of Chiba Academy to a helpless orphan. She lost everything overnight, struggling in a forgotten corner.

Meanwhile, Kiana had been preparing for the Third Honkai Impact. Her days were filled with tension and pressure, constantly preparing for the impending crisis. Although Adam and Kiana hadn't interacted much yet, over the course of the week, they gradually became familiar with each other, building a tacit understanding and trust.

Sometimes, Adam would leave some leftovers for Kiana when she went out to work.

"Wow, it's delicious. I didn't expect you to be such a good cook. It looks so ordinary."

Kiana exaggeratedly expressed her surprise and satisfaction with the curry made by Adam. She ate it with relish and sat on the sofa in a happy mood.

Adam smiled slightly, but after hearing Kiana's praise, he pondered for a moment. He sighed softly and said to Kiana, "Originally, I'm not very good at cooking." After that, he immersed himself in memories, as if he saw his past self.

In the past, Adam was always busy with work and didn't want to spend too much time cooking. He would just eat instant noodles or a piece of compressed biscuit for the night. However, after confirming his relationship with the future Kiana, she always pestered Adam to cook for him.

Adam wanted to refuse, after all, Kiana's cooking skills were really not good enough. However, he couldn't bear to disappoint Kiana, so he decided to do it himself. So, he started to try cooking in the kitchen, and gradually, his cooking skills began to improve.

He learned various cooking methods and techniques, the cooking time became more and more accurate, and the taste was gradually adjusted to the level that Kiana liked.

"Since you like it so much, why don't you try to make some yourself next time?" Adam suggested to Kiana.

Although he didn't want to change too many things in this time and space, Adam felt that it would be great to be able to change his future treatment.

If he starts teaching Kiana how to cook now, will he not be forced to eat the disgusting food made by Kiana in the future?

"No, it's too troublesome." However, faced with Adam's proposal, Kiana refused without hesitation.

Come to think of it, after all, asking Kiana to cook is really difficult for her.

"Speaking of which, do you know Mei from your school?" Adam suddenly changed the subject and asked Kiana. He didn't know much about Mei, only that she had saved Kiana once, but he didn't know what happened after that.

Kiana frowned slightly when she heard Adam's question and thought for a moment. She shook her head slightly and said with a somewhat depressed expression, "Ah, you mean Mei-senpai? She's a big star at school. But speaking of which, it seems like her life hasn't been going well lately."

Adam's heart sank, a look of astonishment on his face. He was well aware of the false accusations against Mei's father and the family's bankruptcy. They had once been wealthy, but now they were in dire straits. Those who once surrounded Mei had probably all drifted away from her, and might even have taken advantage of her misfortune.

Adam looked at Kiana's bewildered expression, feeling somewhat helpless. He hadn't expected Kiana to be completely unaware of what had happened at Mei's home. But then again, Kiana was already exhausted from her daily grind of work and school, and it would be difficult for her to spare the energy to care for others.

"Nothing, I just thought she might need some help." Adam shook his head. Since Kiana herself didn't know about this, he didn't want to bother with it. He thought, if he had time, he could go meet Mei in her current state.

However, deep down, he still felt sorry for what happened to Raiden Mei. He knew that Raiden Ryoma, who was framed and imprisoned, was an innocent man, and his daughter Mei became an innocent victim.

The instigator of all this was Cocolia. In order to combat the power of Dr. Einstein and Dr. Tesla, she sent Raiden Ryoma to prison.

If I remember correctly, after that, Raiden Ryuma never saw his daughter again until his death.

As for that woman, Adam really didn't want to see her at all.

In a sense, Cocolia is no less evil than Otto.

Although the other party's final fate was to be imprisoned forever in the prison of Haiyuan City, Cocolia is now a powerful figure in the anti-entropy. If he were to confront him now, he might suffer a loss.

That woman in Cocolia is probably already planning to steal the massive amount of Houkai energy from Massive Electric. Detonating that thing would be enough to trigger the Third Houkai. This thought flashed through Adam's mind, and he couldn't suppress the worry that welled up in his heart.

Kiana looked at Adam, who didn't answer, and felt like a cat scratching her heart. She walked over to Adam and gently patted his shoulder. "What are you thinking about?" she asked, hoping to clear up the confusion in Adam's heart.

Adam turned and smiled, but his eyes revealed deep worry. "Nothing, just something came to my mind." He began to clear the table and clean up intently. This action seemed to temporarily relieve him of the chaos in his heart.

"What? It feels so mysterious." Seeing that Adam didn't answer her question again, Kiana felt like her heart was being scratched by a cat.

Moreover, Kiana didn't know why, but she always felt that Adam was familiar with everything about her.

Be it living habits or other little secrets that only he knew, Adam knew them all.

This made Kiana feel that Adam was even more mysterious.

After all, where did this person come from?

Chapter 614: Rita on Hyperion

After Adam's disappearance, Haitu and Hua hurriedly completed their mission and returned to Hyperion. However, upon returning to the meeting room, they were surprised to find a mysterious woman beside them. The Hyperion Valkyries stared intently at the mysterious woman seated in the center, creating a tense and oppressive atmosphere.

"Tell me, why did you come back with us? What's your purpose?" Hare Rabbit asked, not hiding her hostility towards Rita. Her eyes were full of vigilance and distrust.

"Ms. Hare Rabbit, haven't I told you already? Because I also want to save the captain." Rita answered with an elegant smile, trying to calm Hare Rabbit's anger.

However, Haitu was unable to control his inner anger, and a nameless rage surged in his heart.

"You actually still say rescue! It was obviously you guys who took the captain away!" Haitu asked angrily, his voice full of resentment and dissatisfaction.

Rita remained calm in the face of Hare Rabbit's accusations and tried to explain, "Ms. Hare Rabbit, it was the ferryman who took the captain away, not me. Strictly speaking, he and I were just former partners."

Hare Rabbit listened to Rita's explanation, but her inner anger did not dissipate, and her eyes still flashed with distrust. She temporarily put aside her questioning of Rita and decided to find Adam's whereabouts first, and then solve the problem of this mysterious woman.

Everyone on the Hyperion was filled with distrust towards the sudden intrusion of Lady Rita. After all, she was a former member of the Ferryman faction, a group known for its intrigue and schemes. But now, they desperately needed information from Rita about Adam, as only then could they find him.

"Ahem, Miss Rita, please tell us what you know as soon as possible." Dr. Ein coughed lightly and looked at Rita in front of him with a firm gaze.

"Which world is the captain in now? Where are the coordinates?" Everyone stared at Rita, their eyes as sharp as knives, as if they would use special means if she did not answer the question.

However, Rita shook her head slightly. Facing everyone's gaze, she said calmly, "Unfortunately, the Captain is not in any world right now. He is in the Origin World."

"Ms. Rita, what do you mean..." Dr. Ein suddenly had an idea. He seemed to have thought of something and asked impatiently.

"That's right, the current captain might have traveled to another time and space." Rita nodded, with a hint of helplessness in her voice.

"Other time and space? Why are you doing this?" Everyone looked at Rita in confusion, their minds full of doubts and confusion.

If they were enemies, killing the captain now would be the wisest option, right? But why send Adam to another time and space? Everyone's thoughts were in turmoil. They tried to sort out their thoughts, but more questions seemed to surge in their minds.

However, Rita continued to shake her head and said, "Unfortunately, I'm not very clear about this matter. After all, this is a plan set by the ferryman himself. We, his subordinates, just need to obey orders."

Everyone exchanged glances, realizing now that they knew nothing about the Ferryman's true purpose. What exactly did the Ferryman want to do? Why did they send Adam to another time and space?

This question echoed repeatedly in everyone's minds, making them feel increasingly confused and uneasy. An inexplicable fear and worry filled the air, oppressive and heavy.

Rita looked at everyone's expressions, a trace of helplessness and bitterness on her face. She took a deep breath and tried to give everyone a reasonable explanation.

"But please rest assured, after all, we have no real intention of killing the Captain. So, the Captain must be very safe now." Rita said to everyone at this time.

Her words were gentle yet firm, trying to reassure everyone of her sincerity. However, Kiana didn't completely believe Rita's words, and a hint of suspicion and vigilance still flickered in her eyes.

"How can we trust you?" Kiana finally spoke, her voice filled with challenge and distrust. The powerful aura of the Moon Goddess surged directly towards Rita.

Rita smiled faintly. Undeterred by Kiana's power, she responded with even greater confidence, "Oh my! That's truly terrifying. I know it's hard for you to believe me, but at this point, no one besides me knows the Captain's whereabouts, right?"

There was a hint of teasing in her voice, as if she was mocking everyone's doubts about her. Rita knew that only through her actions could she convince everyone of her sincerity.
