Collapse, harem after the end of the world

At this moment, Adam spoke a cold word in a very ordinary tone.

"Or else, you can do absolutely nothing. Go away for a few months, wait for those monsters to attack the village, and kill about half of the villagers. Then come back and demand an apology for what happened. If they don't, then you can just leave. There are so many ways to punish these villagers, but you don't do any of them. Why?"

Even Ai-chan couldn't help but gasp in surprise at Adam's words.

When did my boss become like this? It feels like he's completely black.

"This is, this is because..."

"Why? If you're stuck, just flip a coin and try. Sometimes, whether you're right or wrong, the most important thing is to avoid regrets."

In response to Adam's comfort, Yae Sakura actually smiled faintly.

"Sir Adam must seldom comfort others."

"Oh? How did you know that?"

"Because your words, when said to a girl, are really hurtful. Originally, I thought..."

"You think I'll let you give up your hatred? Don't be ridiculous. What do those people have to do with me? In my opinion, it's not certain whether someone who can do something like that can be called a human being."

After Adam finished speaking, he turned to look at Yae Sakura and said, "No matter what choice you make, remember not to regret it. Also, remember that you are not alone. If you have any difficulties, I don't recommend contributing your strength."

During the conversation with Adam, Yae Sakura also felt a lot more relaxed.

While Adam regards Yae Sakura as a companion, Yae Sakura also regards Adam as her own companion.

It's strange to say that they had only been together for a day, but they quickly regarded each other as companions. No one can explain the fate of this.

Time soon came to evening. After clearing out most of the surrounding Honkai beasts, the three returned to the shrine.

Adam gradually gained some understanding of the surroundings of the village.

Although Yaemura is just a village, it is almost a city in terms of the territory of Japan.

Even castle towers, which belonged to daimyo and shogun, were built there.

And there are no other so-called villages within a few kilometers of Yae Village.

Apparently, there is only one place in this world, Yae Village.

"It seems that the Key of God is indeed in this village, right? Then, the most likely places are these."

Adam was looking at the map projected by Ai-chan at this time, and marked the key points on the shrine and the castle tower.

If there is any place in this village that is most likely to have the Key of God, it is only these two places.

However, let’s not talk about the shrine for now. After all, Yaezakura doesn’t know where the so-called Key of God is. As for the castle tower, it is also guarded by villagers and ordinary people are not allowed to enter.

If Adam wanted to get in, he had to sneak in without alerting anyone.

This also requires finding a way to detect it first before there is a chance.

"It seems that finding the Divine Key quickly isn't going to be easy. Strange, why do I feel a little tired?"

At this moment, Adam suddenly felt a little dazed.

Adam, who might not feel tired even after fighting for several days in a row, actually felt like sleeping at this moment.

Adam could only guess that it was the special nature of this space that made him feel tired.

"Let's take a good rest first, and then we can explore the castle tower."

Adam, who could hardly open his eyes, then lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

However, in Adam's dream, a little girl with pink hair sneaked into his dream at some point.

Chapter 82: The Mysterious Girl Yae Rin

"Please, please save my sister."

After hearing the girl's low pleading, Adam slowly opened his eyes.

"What's going on? Am I asleep? What time is it now?"

Adam opened his eyes drowsily and found that the sky outside was still dark.

It felt like he had slept for a long time, but the sky was still midnight. This made Adam wonder if his sense of time had started to go wrong.

"Strange, why is it so quiet out there? Ai-chan, are you there?"

Adam, sensing something was wrong with the atmosphere, quickly called out Ai-chan's name, but all he heard was deathly silence.

"Something's wrong. Am I dreaming?"

Adam sensed something was wrong and soon discovered that he was dreaming.

Although everything here is not much different from the real world, upon closer observation, one can still find that everything here is a false creation.

"Please, Qing, save my sister."

At this time, the girl's low pleading voice once again reached Adam's ears and attracted Adam's attention.

Following the direction of the sound, Adam walked out of the room.

At this time, outside, there was not a single star twinkling in the sky, but the surrounding scenery could be seen clearly.

Because the cherry blossom tree in the center of the shrine is emitting pink light at this time.

Soft light shines all around, and from time to time, cherry blossoms fall.

Under the cherry blossom tree, a girl with pink hair was praying softly. It was obvious that the voice just now came from this girl.

"Ying? No, she looks younger. Who is she then?"

Looking at the girl under the cherry tree, Adam looked at her in confusion.

Although the girl has the same hair color and ears as Sakura.

But the impression it gives is completely different.

These girls were obviously much softer than Sakura's coldness.

At this moment, Adam remembered the story Ying had told him during the day, and then Adam immediately thought of who the person in front of him was.

"Could it be that you are Rin?"

Hearing Adam calling her name, the pink-haired girl slowly turned around and looked at Adam.

Looking at the girl who looked 80% like Sakura but was much younger, Adam became more certain that the girl in front of him was Sakura's sister, Rin.

"Please, Mr. Adam, please save my sister. Don't let her suffer the pain of reincarnation anymore."

"The pain of reincarnation?"

Adam looked at Lin, as if he had thought of something, and then asked her, "Could it be that the fatigue I felt earlier was because of you? Did you specifically drag me into this dream just to save your sister?"

"Yes, please, you are the only one who can save my sister now."

Faced with the girl's plea, Adam did not agree immediately. He now had too many questions he wanted to ask the girl.

According to Ying, the girl should have died long ago, but why could she appear in her dream at this time?

The pain of reincarnation? What is this? Why is Sakura suffering so much? Adam must find out what the secret of this world is.

"Don't be anxious. Tell me first, what is going on here? What is the situation with the villagers in the village? If you don't explain it to me first, I can't save your sister."

In response to Adam's question, Rin slowly revealed the truth about this world.

This truth was something Adam had never expected.

"This story has been told countless times in this world. Back then, my sister and Kallen defeated the Herrscher of Corrosion together and cast the sword forged from its core, Jizo's Soul, out of this world. Originally, the Herrscher of Corrosion should have been unable to interfere with this world again. However, unexpectedly, the outbreak of the Honkai caused the spirit of the Herrscher of Corrosion, which had been dormant, to resurrect."

In Rin's story, the Herrscher who had been defeated was revived again by the outbreak of Honkai and returned to this world.

Yae Sakura and Kallen were completely unprepared and had no ability to resist the force of erosion.

It seems that in order to torture Yae Sakura and others, the Herrscher used his own power to make Kallen continue to experience these painful experiences.

Time and again, the people important to her kept dying in front of her.

The purpose is to make Yaezakura completely collapse.

In the constant reincarnation, Yae Sakura's memory has been constantly lost. She even forgot Kallen and her companions. Only Yae Sakura and her identity are left.

And all of this was seen by Rin.

But Rin had no way to stop this, because her power was not enough to deal with the Herrscher.

And because the outside world had experienced a great collapse, almost all humans were destroyed.

In such a desperate situation, Rin had already given up hope.

However, what was unexpected was that in order to defeat another Herrscher, Adam, he came here and also became friends with Yae Sakura.

This gave Rin hope again.

In order to prevent his sister from falling into pain again, he urgently found Adam today, hoping that Adam could help him.

"During the previous incident, the Herrscher developed two personalities: good and evil. The good personality originally followed his sister and defeated the evil personality, but after the evil personality returned, that personality was sealed away."

After listening to Lin's narration, Adam was overwhelmed.

It turns out that this isn't the first time Yae Sakura has experienced something like this. If you count the time since the Great Collapse, she's probably already been through this torture at least a hundred times.

It seems that the Herrscher of Corrosion really hates Yaezakura to the core, to the extent that he can do this.

"So? How can I help you now?"

"My sister's body has been taken over by the Herrscher of Corrosion, and she's trying to kill you. If you can defeat the Herrscher of Corrosion, you might be able to stop her."

"what?"

Before Adam could think about what Lin meant, he regained consciousness the next moment.

At this moment, when Adam opened his eyes, he saw Yae Sakura standing beside his bed with a katana in her hand.

She had already raised the cherry blossom-colored sword high above her head, and was about to swing it down.

Chapter 83: Corrosion Herrscher - Scarlet Prison Pill

"Crack!"

As Yaesakura's sword suddenly fell to the ground, Adam directly used the power of space to teleport himself to the other end of the room.

At this time, Yaesakura's eyes had lost their luster, and she was being manipulated like a puppet.

"Have you been completely controlled? I didn't expect the fight to come so quickly."

Looking at Yaesakura who had completely lost her consciousness, Adam couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in his heart.

Although Adam had anticipated that this Herrscher of Corrosion would not quietly wait for him like the one in Paradise, he had not expected that this time the Herrscher of Corrosion would arrive so quickly, and in Yae Sakura's body.

Although I am not sure what happened to Yaesakura that she was controlled by the Herrscher, it would be better to find a way to help her get her body back.

Adam was holding a long sword at this time, and a flaming sword energy suddenly swung towards Yae Sakura.

In an instant, the entire shrine was engulfed in flames.

"Boom!"

"What's wrong? What happened? An earthquake?"

Ai-chan, who was still asleep, suddenly opened her eyes and saw that the room she and others were staying in was completely on fire. The fire almost burned her.

"What on earth happened? Why did it suddenly catch fire?!"

Looking at the raging fires around her, Ai-chan was still a little confused. How could she be sleeping soundly and suddenly it turned into a fire scene?

"The power of the Herrscher, human, why are you able to use such an ability?"

In the center of the shrine, Yae Sakura uttered a harsh sound, one that was clearly not her own. It must be the Herrscher within her, controlling her body and conversing with Adam.

"I don't need to explain to you, Herrscher. But you, what on earth are you?"

"I'm nothing, my name is Feiyuwan!"

At this time, flames began to bloom from Yaezakura's body and flew towards Adam.
