Collapse, harem after the end of the world

"What happened?" Kiana asked cautiously. She wanted to know why Adam became so serious.

Adam sighed and looked into Kiana's eyes. He knew he couldn't tell them that the Third Honkai Impact was about to happen, because it would be too heavy for them and would not change their upcoming fate.

"Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask. Even if you know, you can't change anything." Adam looked at Kiana affectionately, a hint of helplessness in his voice. "If you don't want to die, remember, don't go to crowded places at noon tomorrow."

Kiana's confusion deepened after hearing Adam's words. She wanted to question him further, but Adam's resolute gaze told her he wasn't willing to say more. She bit her lip silently and nodded subconsciously.

Adam stared at Kiana silently, his eyes gleaming with deep concern. He knew that the impending collapse of this world would be a struggle for life and death, and all he could do was to protect them to the best of his ability.

However, he didn't want them to suffer too much. He didn't want to see them hurt or leave. Adam knew deeply that he had to protect them in his own way, even if it meant hiding the truth.

"We will." Mei comforted Kiana softly. She knew that there was a deep worry behind Adam's words. She held Kiana's hand tightly, her eyes flashing with determination.

Although Mei and Kiana didn't know what had happened, they both knew that Adam would not harm them during their time together. Since Adam said so, he must have his reasons.

"Have a good sleep. Tomorrow, you'll know what happened." Adam looked at the two of them deeply. He had almost gotten used to the peaceful life during this period.

After the two of them left Adam's house, Adam looked up at the bustling city outside.

I guess from tomorrow onwards, I won’t be able to see such a prosperous place anymore.

Starting from tomorrow, everything created by human civilization in this city will be completely destroyed under the collapse.

"Maybe I'll find out tomorrow. Why am I here? What's the ferryman's motive?"

Adam was silent for a moment, then returned to the room and lay on the bed.

He closed his eyes and tried to fall asleep as quickly as possible.

He knew that starting from tomorrow, he probably wouldn't have time to sleep peacefully.

Chapter 625: The Third Collapse Begins

The next morning, Kiana rose from bed early, her spirits unusually high. Slowly drawing aside the curtains, the morning light gently shone upon her face, awakening her dormant soul.

She carefully pulled a cell phone from her backpack, the only thing her father had left her. Kiana's gaze fell on the screen, and she felt as if she could sense her father's presence. Every time she looked at the phone, Kiana would think of her father's lazy smile and his constant jokes. But no matter what, he was still Kiana's only family.

However, her father has been missing for a long time, and Kiana has never given up looking for him. She firmly believes that Changkong City is where her father is, so she resolutely came to this strange and mysterious city.

Kiana's gaze fell again on her phone screen, where the countdown displayed a worrying number. There were less than three hours left. A tangled feeling gripped her heart, as if suggesting that the impending event could not be ignored.

Kiana's intuition told her that in three hours, something unimaginable would happen. This strong premonition made her heart beat faster, as if she saw a light bursting out from the darkness.

Last night, Adam had warned Kiana that something special was about to happen today and that she must be cautious. However, Adam remained silent about what was about to happen, which further fueled Kiana's anxiety. She wondered what kind of event it would be, but she could never fathom Adam's intentions.

"Forget it, let's just leave it at that." Kiana waved her hand, shaking off all the doubts in her mind, put on her backpack, and prepared to set off for school.

At this moment, the path she was walking was no different from the past. Kiana ran into Mei on the road, and the two walked into the campus together.

During class, Kiana dozed off as usual, and nothing unexpected happened. However, because everything was normal, Kiana's inner uneasiness intensified, like an undercurrent, ready to stir.

At this time, Kiana came to the corridor and looked at the countdown on her mobile phone with only ten minutes left. Her heart began to feel heavy.

"What on earth is going to happen?"

While Kiana was struggling, Adam, who was at home, was also waiting for what would happen next.

At this moment, he looked at the building of Lei Dian Heavy Industry in the distance and knew that all the things he was worried about would soon happen.

As the countdown on Kiana's phone stopped ticking, a terrifying wave of Honkai energy erupted from the Raiden Heavy Industry building, instantly enveloping the entire Changkong City.

"This is what it is!"

Kiana looked around at this time, and she also felt the sudden appearance of Honkai energy in the air around her.

At this moment, all the creatures enveloped in the Honkai energy began to make painful sounds.

Suddenly, these people's bodies underwent unprecedented changes, and they began to roar like zombies.

"Actually, they're assassins!" Kiana looked at these students who had become assassins, and her face began to become serious. She finally understood what Adam and her father were trying to remind her of.

Kiana watched the events unfold before her with a horrifying feeling. Under the intense Houkai energy, these humans had lost their sanity. Kiana knew they were beyond saving. Those with low Houkai energy resistance simply couldn't withstand it.

Soon, their sanity will be completely devoured by the Honkai energy and they will become puppets of Honkai.

"Oh no! Mei is here!" Kiana thought of Mei and immediately decided to look for her.

However, at this moment, the assassins also noticed Kiana and began to roar at her. Their eyes were empty and vicious, as if they had lost all humanity.

"Get out of here!" Kiana yelled, picking up a baseball bat from her backpack without hesitation.

She met the first wave of assassins rushing towards her and smashed one of their heads with a stick.

Blood and brains splattered all over Kiana, but she didn't stop. Her body was filled with strength and determination.

The assassins rushed towards Kiana, but she dodged their attacks like the wind, accurately hitting their vital parts with the baseball bat. Each hit brought a dull sound of bones breaking, which made people shudder.

Kiana's body was soaked with sweat, but her eyes remained firm. She swung the baseball bat continuously, knocking down the assassins one by one.

"Damn it, I should have listened to Adam and brought more weapons."

Resentment welled up in Kiana's heart. Although she had tried her best to kill these zombies, it was too difficult to clear the entire school with just a baseball bat. The scene before her made Kiana realize that she needed more strength to face this nightmare.

She gripped the baseball bat tightly, swinging it relentlessly, determined not to give up. Each blow brought a sharp crack of bone, and blood and brains splattered across her body, but she showed no fear. She had walked through this school many times, familiar with every nook and cranny, allowing her to dodge the assassins' attacks with greater agility.

As time went by, Kiana felt her physical fatigue gradually increasing, and she could feel her strength gradually depleting. She knew that she had to find Mei as soon as possible, because only her friends could help her face this disaster together.

She quickly crossed the campus, from one classroom to another, looking for Mei's traces. The corridors were filled with the screams and groans of pain from the dead, but Kiana remained unmoved, her whole heart focused on finding Mei.

Finally, in a corner of a classroom, Kiana found Meiyi. Meiyi was slumped on the ground, her body covered with scars, but she was still conscious.

"Mei! Are you okay?" Kiana rushed to Mei and helped her up.

"Kiana..." Mei's voice was weak and trembling, "What happened here? Why did it become like this?"

"I don't know either, but we don't have time to explain. We must leave here as soon as possible." Kiana held Mei's hand tightly and led her out of the classroom.

The assassins in the corridor rushed towards them, but Kiana did not hesitate, she hit the enemy fiercely with her baseball bat. Each of her blows was as accurate as the wind, and each blow was to protect Mei and herself.

"Mei, hold on!" Kiana said to Mei, but she didn't notice that there was a flash of lightning on Mei's body at this moment.

Chapter 626: Adam, rushing to the rescue

Adam looked out the window. A powerful surge of Houkai energy erupted from the tall buildings, like the beginning of a catastrophe. The city began to be enveloped by Houkai energy, and the people on the streets groaned in pain. Their bodies began to mutate beyond belief, and their minds were mercilessly devoured by the Houkai energy.

Adam took a deep breath and calmly watched those familiar faces transform into brutal assassins. He felt no emotion at all, as if he was already accustomed to such tragedies. Perhaps after experiencing so many similar disasters, he had become accustomed to this scene.

Waves of shrill screams echoed through the streets, like cries of humanity's irresistible fate. Adam's gaze swept across the chaotic scene: hideous mutants wielded sharp blades in a bloody mess, cruelly taking lives. The buildings on the streets had begun to collapse, and countless people were buried under the rubble, wailing in despair.

Adam's eyes gleamed with determination. He knew full well that the root of this disaster lay with Cocolia. She had ruthlessly destroyed the Honkai energy stored within Raiden Heavy Industries, plunging the entire city into chaos.

Adam calmly donned his combat uniform, longsword in hand, and stepped steadily onto the street. He knew this was the beginning of the Third Collapse, which also meant Mei was on her way to becoming the Third Herrscher. Time was running out, and he had to rush to Qianyu Academy.

The deadly warriors on the street roared and charged at him, but Adam simply swung his sword indifferently, mercilessly tearing apart the enemies before him. His movements were agile, and every swing of his sword was accurate, and every kill was filled with determination.

"Get out of my way!" Adam roared, his voice echoing through the streets. Undaunted, he charged the enemy, swinging his sword and striking them down with thunderous force. Every movement was filled with power and precision, and every flash of his blade threatened his enemies with the threat of death.

Blood and flesh flew everywhere, and corpses piled up like mountains. Adam's eyes held no hesitation or pity, only determination and coldness. He was used to such battles, used to facing the cruelty and ruthlessness of death.

He had only one belief in his heart, which was to save Mei and stop the continued spread of Honkai.

At this time in Senyu Academy, Mei, who was being supported by Kiana, looked more and more uncomfortable.

Her eyes were squeezed shut in agony, sweat dripping down her pale face. She gritted her teeth, trying to control her body. But no matter how hard she tried, the powerful Honkai energy spread more and more relentlessly.

"Mei, are you okay?" Kiana asked anxiously. She supported Mei's body with all her strength, but could not really help her. Her eyes were filled with helplessness and anxiety.

Mei trembled slightly, biting her lower lip in pain. Her fingers tightly grasped Kiana's hand, as if seeking a little comfort and support. She felt the Houkai energy in her body rapidly eroding every cell in her body, causing her consciousness to fall into great pain.

"I, I'm in so much pain," Mei said with difficulty, her voice revealing endless pain. Strange lines on her body continued to spread, slithering across her skin like venomous snakes, making her body even more twisted and deformed.

Kiana's eyes were moist. She looked at Mei with a broken heart, feeling powerless and ignorant. She once thought she could protect Mei, but facing the ruthless invasion of Houkai energy, she was helpless.

"What should I do?" Kiana muttered anxiously to herself, her mind filled with countless questions, but no answers. She had never encountered a situation like this before, and she didn't know how to help Mei, nor did she know who to turn to.

At this moment, Kiana suddenly felt the surrounding Houkai energy being absorbed by Meiyi. Her eyes widened, unable to believe what was happening before her eyes.

"What the hell is going on?!" Kiana hadn't expected Mei to actually be actively absorbing Honkai energy. Such a massive amount of energy even formed a massive vortex in the air, and the purple energy surged endlessly.

"What on earth is going on?" Kiana looked at Mei, her heart filled with confusion and fear. Her eyes were fixed on Mei's body, and she soon noticed that the lines on Mei's body were gradually dissipating, and wings formed by purple lightning appeared behind her.

"Mei, are you okay?" Kiana, sensing something was wrong, quickly walked over to Mei and tried to steady her. However, the next moment, Kiana discovered that Mei's eyes had turned purple, and her entire body was filled with purple lightning.

"Human, don't even think about touching me." Mei uttered these icy words, her voice revealing an unusual sense of authority and resolve. The next moment, Kiana was struck by a burst of purple lightning and sent flying several meters away.

Kiana fell to the ground in a mess. She felt sore all over and could hardly move. She opened her eyes and stared at Mei standing in front of her, shock and disbelief intertwined in her eyes.

"Mei, what's wrong with you? This is not like you!" Kiana's voice was pleading and helpless.

However, Mei's eyes were cold and ruthless. She raised the purple energy ball in her hand high, ready to attack Kiana.

"Mei, you can't do this!" Kiana's voice was filled with despair and determination. She knew that Mei had been completely eroded by the Houkai energy, turning her into a ferocious and ruthless weapon.

Mei has now become the most powerful subordinate of the Houkai, a being called the Herrscher. As a god-like being, she no longer cares about the survival of mankind.

"Damn it, if that's the case, I can only fight back!" Kiana stared at Mei at this time, her heart filled with determination. She knew that if she didn't stop Mei now, Mei would never come back.

"Go to hell, human." As Mei raised the purple energy ball high in her hand, Kiana's eyes flashed with a cold and determined look. Her heart was filled with pain and helplessness towards Mei, but she also understood that now she could only use her strength to stop Mei's path to destruction.

At this time, Kiana quickly dodged Mei's attack, and then used various props around her as her weapons.

From tables, chairs, and benches to fire accessories and fire extinguishers, all were directed towards the Herrscher of Thunder.

Although these things did not cause her any harm, they gave her a great insult.

"Human, I will make you regret it!" At this time, the Herrscher of Thunder let out a deafening roar.

Chapter 627: Adam arrives at the battlefield

Kiana's body had been worn down by the continuous fighting, nearly shattered. She felt as if her bones were being drained away, as if every dodge was stripping away her fragile soul. Both her mind and body were struggling on the brink of agony.

Without a proper weapon, Kiana could only rely on her fragile hands to resist the Herrscher of Thunder's overwhelming strength. She felt the blood on her fingers gradually coagulate, freezing into a cold mass of ice. But her gaze remained firm, a gleam of unyielding courage in her eyes.

A cold sneer curled up the corners of the Herrscher's mouth, the power of lightning concentrated in her hands. Arcs of lightning roared down like angry snakes, the sound of them breaking through the air piercing and shocking. Each bolt of lightning contained the power of destruction, striking down mercilessly at Kiana.

Kiana's body was as nimble as thread, darting and dodging, deftly avoiding the Herrscher of Thunder's attacks. Her body leaped through the air like a butterfly dancing in the wind. Even so, her face couldn't conceal a trace of fatigue. Each dodge drained away her dwindling strength.

The Herrscher of Thunder's gaze gradually grew icy. She sensed that Kiana had reached her limit and could no longer hold on. He sneered, condensing an even more intense bolt of lightning, and rushed towards Kiana.

A glimmer of determination flashed in Kiana's eyes. She knew she was at a critical juncture of life and death. She couldn't hide any longer; she had to find a chance to strike back.

Kiana gripped the wooden sword tightly, her eyes etched with determination. She knew this humble wooden sword might not be able to withstand the Herrscher of Thunder's might, but she had no other choice.

She swung the wooden sword, wielding her remaining strength as best she could at the Herrscher of Thunder. However, just as the sword was about to strike the Herrscher of Thunder, a sneer crossed his face. In a flash of lightning, the sword in Kiana's hand shattered completely, disintegrating into countless wood chips that flew everywhere.

With a loud bang, Kiana was slammed into the wall by the immense force of the explosion, sending shattered stones and dust flying all around her. She lay on the shattered wall, blood oozing from the corner of her mouth, her body shaking violently.

The Herrscher of Thunder's cold voice came: "It's over, you annoying little bug." Lightning flashed in her hands, as if she was gathering even more terrifying power.

Blood dripped from the corner of Kiana's mouth onto the shattered ground. She raised her head with difficulty, her eyes gleaming with unwillingness and determination. She knew she was no longer able to fight, but her heart was filled with guilt and endless regret for Mei.

(I'm sorry, Mei. In the end, I still couldn't save you. I'm still too weak.)

A feeling of despair rose in Kiana's heart. She closed her eyes and prayed silently for Mei.

Just when Kiana thought that the Herrscher of Thunder's attack was about to fall on her, a voice came into Kiana's ears.

"It's too early to give up now."

Kiana's eyes widened when she heard the voice.

At this moment, a figure accompanied by flames fell from the sky and rushed directly towards the Herrscher of Thunder.

"Boom!" Accompanied by a violent explosion, the Herrscher of Thunder's body was blown a hundred meters away, looking very miserable.

"Adam!"

At this time, Kiana finally saw the approaching figure clearly.

At this moment, Adam was surrounded by terrifying energy and stood in front of the Herrscher of Thunder like a killing god.

Flames danced, and a scorching heat filled the air. Adam's eyes flashed with murderous intent as he stared at the Herrscher of Thunder without mercy.

The Herrscher of Thunder's expression darkened. She hadn't anticipated Kiana having such a powerful backup. She glared fiercely at Adam, her heart filled with anger and regret.

"Who the hell are you!"

The Herrscher of Thunder stared at Adam with a grim expression, eyes filled with disbelief and vigilance. This man exuded an extremely dangerous aura, like a hungry beast, which made her shudder.

Adam smiled faintly and replied coldly: "Just an ordinary human being." His tone was as calm as water, but full of murderous intent.
