Collapse, harem after the end of the world

Adam sat quietly in his chair, his eyes revealing a hint of amusement and mockery. Otto sensed a hidden confidence and strength in Adam, a strength that surpassed anyone he had ever met. He understood that conversing with Adam would not be easy, but he also firmly believed that only by reaching some kind of consensus with Adam could he maintain control of the situation.

Otto took a deep breath, determined to uncover Adam's true identity in this conversation. He had to understand this man's true intentions and who he truly was. Otto no longer hid his interest. He looked Adam straight in the eye, his expression firm.

"Mr. Adam, I am curious about your identity and strength. I want to know your background and purpose. Are you willing to share something about yourself with me?" Otto's voice was low and firm, his eyes revealing a desire.

Adam stared at Otto quietly, a hint of amusement in his eyes. His voice was low and steady, like the tide in the deep sea.

Chapter 690: Confession with Otto

Adam stared at Otto, their eyes intertwined in the air, as if electricity was dancing wildly between them. In the past few minutes, they had already exchanged several blows, each one like a dance of swords intertwining, fully demonstrating their superb skills.

Adam knew in his heart that no ordinary mortal lie could deceive this 500-year-old monster. Otto's wisdom was so astonishing that it surpassed the entire world, ranking him at least in the top three. Adam felt that he could not deceive him.

However, while outright deception is not possible, it is not impossible to retain some mystery about the truth.

After all, Otto is only human, and he cannot see through everything.

Therefore, Adam came up with an idea and decided to conceal some of the facts temporarily and talk about them later.

Otto looked deeply into Adam's eyes, as if trying to read all the secrets. Adam's heart moved, knowing that Otto had understood his intentions. He turned and glanced at the Valkyries around him, his eyes full of deep meaning.

Otto understood that Adam wanted them to have a private conversation without being disturbed by the outside world. He nodded slightly and said to the Valkyries, "You can go down first."

The Valkyries hesitated; Otto's order seemed unexpected. But in the end, they retreated, leaving Adam and Otto alone in the empty room.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense, as if an invisible pressure was enveloping them.

Adam stared at Otto, his eyes revealing a hint of complex emotions. In this solitary space, he decided to uncover part of the truth and bring Otto into his secret.

"Actually, you should know that there is no such person as me in this world." Adam said in a low voice.

Otto listened quietly. He had once used all of SkyMing's intelligence resources to search for information about Adam. However, none of the results he found matched Adam. Adam's existence seemed to defy all common sense, leaving him bewildered and confused.

"So, you should have guessed it. Actually, I don't belong to this time and space. To be precise, I am from the future." Adam's voice echoed in the room, as if carrying a mysterious power.

Otto's eyes flashed with shock. He finally understood that Adam was so mysterious because he came from the future. This discovery made his heart beat faster. He realized that what Adam knew must be unimaginable.

At that moment, Otto's thoughts quickly shuttled between the past and the future. He imagined the world that Adam had witnessed. What kind of future would that be? Could they really change the course of their fate?

Adam quietly waited for Otto's reaction, knowing that this moment was decisive. No matter what Otto chose, it would affect their future.

Otto took a deep breath and looked at Adam firmly. He knew that this was a rare opportunity. Being able to talk to Adam from the future and learn everything he knew was an unparalleled chance.

"Tell me, Adam, what is your purpose in coming to the future? What is the future like as you know it? I want to hear your story." Otto's voice revealed a hint of anticipation and curiosity.

Adam smiled, knowing that Otto had opened his heart and was willing to listen to his story. This was the beginning, a story about a future that would bring incredible changes to the world.

He took a deep breath, feeling the secrets of the future boiling within him. A strong determination surged within him, and he prepared to reveal these hidden prophecies one by one.

"In the future, people from heaven will sweep in and bring about a complete catastrophe. All surviving humans on Earth will be destroyed, leaving only me and a small number of lucky people." His voice seemed to come from a distant time and space, full of mystery and majesty.

"How could such a thing happen?!" Otto's eyes widened, his shock evident in his words. But Adam knew that what Otto truly cared about wasn't the fate of the world, but his own.

"What kind of ending will you face in the future?" Otto asked impatiently, his eyes revealing a desire to know the truth of fate.

"To be honest, I have never met you in the future. You passed away very early, and your death was tragic." Adam sighed deeply, thoughts of the past years welling up in his heart.

When Otto heard Adam say that his future self was dead, he did not show any fear. Instead, a glimmer of exploration flashed in his eyes.

"How did I die?" His voice was firm, and he was eager to know his end.

"In order to complete your goal, you reached the end of the road and left this world without any regrets." Adam answered in a subtle way. He knew that this was an unavoidable truth for Otto.

However, after hearing the news of his own death, Otto showed no fear, but instead a hint of joy. A strange light flashed in his eyes, as if he had grasped the clue of his own fate.

"What I mean is, did I succeed?" Otto's voice revealed excitement and anticipation, as if he had noticed some important clues.

After a brief silence, Adam finally nodded.

Otto's joy reached its peak, and he realized that everything he had done and experienced was for the purpose of achieving this goal. He had finally found a way to change his fate.

After five hundred years, Otto was deeply lost in his longing for Kallen. He once thought he would never be able to bring her back to life. Every day, he silently prayed for her, hoping to see her smile again.

However, now that Adam's arrival has given him new hope, Otto's mood has become complicated. He is excited but hesitant, fearing that what he expects will ultimately be just a beautiful dream.

Under Adam's mysterious gaze, Otto's emotions fluctuated. He knew it was time to learn the truth. He took a deep breath and asked, "Adam, can you help me revive Kallen?"

However, facing Otto's request, Adam shook his head and said, "You should know that in this world, Kallen will not be allowed to be resurrected."

Of course Otto knew what Adam meant. If it weren't for the Honkai consciousness, he would have resurrected Kallen long ago.

It is precisely because this world does not allow it that Kallen can never be resurrected.

But now, what else can he do? He finally saw hope, he would never give up.

Chapter 691: Otto's Madness

Adam stared at Otto intently, a hint of wariness and distrust in his eyes. Although Otto wore a delighted smile, Adam showed no sign of relaxation. He knew that even though Otto now knew of his potential success, it didn't mean he would easily abandon his original plan. Adam understood clearly that Otto was no easy opponent to defeat.

After all, few in this world could compare to Otto. He was a man of extreme arrogance, his confidence astonishing in every field. Since Otto knew his guaranteed plan would succeed, he would undoubtedly do everything in his power to maximize his profits.

Just as Adam expected, after being happy for a while, Otto quickly calmed down, as if what had happened before had never happened.

His smile vanished, replaced by a cool, sharp gaze. Adam looked into those eyes and felt a chill run down his spine. It was clear that Otto's ambition was beginning to germinate.

"Now that I know what will happen in the future, could you please do me a favor?" Otto's tone was calm, but the ambition hidden in it was clearly visible.

Adam's vigilance rose again. He stared at Otto closely, not daring to be careless. He knew that if he let Otto go, his plan would become more complicated and even have unpredictable consequences.

"What do you want to do?" Adam asked steadily, trying to gain control of the situation.

Otto smiled, a cold glint in his eyes. "I want to completely drive Honkai out of this world." His voice was low and firm.

Adam's pupils shrank, and a strong sense of unease welled up in his heart. He knew Otto's abilities and ambitions well, and he knew he would never give up any opportunity easily. Few in this world could compare to Otto, and his confidence was astonishing. If Otto truly decided to fight the Honkai, he would not hesitate to use any means necessary to pursue greater benefits.

"You're crazy!"

Adam growled frantically.

Otto remained unmoved. He calmly responded, "No, I'm not crazy! If you can tell me everything that will happen in the future, then I will have the confidence to avoid the future outcome!"

Adam's frown deepened, and he felt an indescribable unease. He knew full well that changing the future was an extremely dangerous thing. Once it involved the distortion of time and the ability to predict the future, it could easily lead to worse consequences.

"How can you know that the future you change won't be a worse one!" Adam tried to make Otto understand this, his voice full of worry and warning.

Otto sneered, his eyes scanning Adam's face sharply. His voice was full of sarcasm and confidence.

"Do you think I'm that mediocre?" he sneered, his eyes flashing with a provocative light.

Adam stared at Otto, his eyes revealing a hint of anger and disdain. He replied coldly, "You know that's impossible."

Otto smiled, a sinister curve at the corner of his mouth. Unflinching, he continued to speak to Adam, "Then I'll have no choice but to force it."

Their gazes met in the air, and there seemed to be lightning and thunder. The atmosphere between them became tense and solemn, as if the whole world had stopped.

Adam felt a strong pressure emanating from Otto, like a mountain. He knew that Otto was not an easy opponent to deal with. His confidence and ambition made him lawless.

Otto's eyes revealed a hint of cunning. He knew he had the ability to pursue greater benefits. He calmly analyzed the situation and thought about his next move.

Countless possible plans flashed through Adam's mind. He had to think calmly and find the best strategy to deal with Otto. He knew that this battle would be a one-way battle, and any mistake could lead to catastrophic consequences.

"Otto, there's no point in what you're doing. The benefits you seek don't belong to you, and you'll only bring more destruction and harm." Adam tried to convince him, but he knew Otto was a selfish and heartless man.

Otto looked at Adam coldly, a hint of mockery playing on his lips. He responded unwaveringly, "I don't care. As long as I can get what I want, I'll pay any price."

Adam took a deep breath, knowing that no more persuasion would be of any use. He had to prepare himself for the coming battle.

Adam, unwilling to be outdone, and Otto, full of confidence, faced each other head-on, like two wild beasts waiting for the final duel.

At that moment, a large number of Valkyries emerged from behind Otto, their fierce eyes filling the entire room. They held weapons in hand, their bodies erect, ready to fight at any moment. A cold, murderous aura filled the air, sending shivers down one's spine.

Adam gripped his weapon tightly, staring at Otto with sharp eyes, showing no sign of retreating. He could feel the support and trust of the Valkyries behind him, which only strengthened his resolve to fight.

The two sides seemed poised to come to blows at any moment, and the atmosphere of the battle grew increasingly tense. Tension and vigilance were written across everyone's face, like a volcano about to erupt.

However, just when the tense atmosphere reached its peak, Otto suddenly laughed and said, "Hahaha, I was just joking. There's no need to be so nervous, sir?" There was a hint of sarcasm and contempt in his voice.

Adam was stunned. He had no idea what Otto was up to. He looked at Otto's smiling face, and a wave of unease welled up in his heart. What on earth was this confident Otto planning?

The Valkyries also felt strange. They exchanged glances and looked around vigilantly. They did not let down their guard, because they knew that Otto was an extremely sinister man and would never give up easily.

"Let's leave it at that for now. Please stay in the headquarters for a few more days. I have a lot of things I want to ask you in detail." After Otto finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Only the confused Adam and the bewildered Valkyries were left.

"Did he take the wrong medicine at this time?" Adam really couldn't understand why Otto gave in first.

Or did he come up with another idea?

But no matter what, Adam had to be on high alert. Given Otto's personality, there was no way he would give up so easily.

Chapter 692: What Happened in the Headquarters

The next day, Adam was still trapped inside the Skyward Swords headquarters. He sat quietly in a large chair, his thoughts racing. Although he didn't know why Otto had asked him to stay, he decided to accept the challenge.

The architecture of the Tianming headquarters was unprecedentedly luxurious, resembling a city floating in the air. The massive structure stretched out, its unique shape formed by the fusion of metal and glass, giving it a sense of futuristic technology. Delicate light penetrated the soaring towers, illuminating the entire headquarters like daylight.

The Valkyries, trotting back and forth between the buildings, their black uniforms and metallic high heels exuding a blend of strength and grace. More than just warriors, they filled various roles, making this a truly bustling city. Some Valkyries busily operated complex programs at their computers, while others patrolled the rooftops of tall buildings, maintaining a vigilant gaze. Wherever they went, they exuded an aura of confidence and determination.

Adam watched all this quietly, feeling the tension in the air.

As Adam watched all this silently, the maid sitting next to him said with a smile, "I wonder how long Mr. Adam will have to sit here. We still have some places to visit."

Adam looked at Rita beside him and sighed helplessly.

"Rita, you're the vice-captain of the Undying Blade, but you're really too idle, aren't you? Don't you even have to work?"

However, in response to Adam's words, Rita said: "After all, the job that Lord Otto gave me is to show you around."

Yet, facing Rita's smile, Adam sneered inwardly. "A visit? It would be better to call it surveillance." He was well aware of Otto's schemes. The man was always secretly plotting some unknown plan, and Adam had become his pawn. He had thought he could escape unscathed, but he hadn't expected Otto to trap him in this massive structure of metal and glass.

Adam looked around, taking in the high-tech atmosphere. He began to question the true purpose of this Scheme Headquarters. It wasn't just the Valkyries' stronghold; it was Otto's control center. Their mission wasn't just to protect humanity; it was to uphold Otto's authority. Few in this world could see Otto's true face, and Adam was one of them.

But Adam remained calm at this time, because Rita herself did not belong to Otto. Anyway, in this place, Rita stood on his side.

Although Adam didn't know what Rita was thinking, he decided to follow her to visit the headquarters. He stood up and followed Rita's pace, and Rita showed him the way forward.

They walked through a spacious corridor and came to a huge door. The door was open, revealing a mysterious and oppressive atmosphere. Adam entered the door and was stunned by the scene in front of him.

This was a vast training ground, where hundreds of Valkyries were engaged in intense combat drills. Swords clashed, fists and feet clashed, the scene was incredibly lively and spectacular. The Valkyries before Adam stood tall and straight, each movement fluid and powerful, radiating unparalleled combat prowess.

Rita walked over to a training platform where a Valkyrie in a tight-fitting uniform was battling a simulated enemy. Her movements were light and swift, her sword slicing through the air with sharp whistles. Her long hair fluttered as she fought, and every movement was filled with power and grace.

Adam was stunned. He hadn't expected Rita to bring him here. He looked at the fighting Valkyrie, a complex emotion welling up in his heart. He hadn't expected to see her here.

Meanwhile, the battle between the Valkyries on the training platform was drawing to a close. Taking advantage of their foe's weakness, the opponent struck and killed them with a single blow. With a flash of sword light, the foe's figure vanished into thin air, leaving only a brutal aura of slaughter lingering across the training ground.

After the training session, Yulandel, the captain of the Undying Blade, wiped her sweat and walked down the stairs. Her hair was slightly disheveled, and she looked a little tired. Her eyes held a resolute and cold light, like a sharp blade, ready to be unsheathed at any moment.

Yulandel smiled slightly when she saw Rita and Adam, then walked over to them. She was dressed in a black uniform, unaffected by the intense battle just now, and instead exuded a powerful fighting spirit.

"Mr. Adam, welcome to the training ground of the Destiny Headquarters. This is where the Valkyries train daily and also where they hone their combat skills." Yulandel's voice was low and magnetic, as if a force was transmitted from her voice.

Rita smiled and explained to Adam, "Mr. Adam, Lady Yulandel is one of the most powerful warriors in our team. Her fighting skills have reached perfection, and many Valkyries have learned from her."

Adam glanced at Yulandel and felt the majesty and power emanating from her.

"Thank you for leading the way, Captain Yulandel." Adam nodded to her to express his gratitude.

Yulandel smiled slightly and didn't say much, but turned and walked towards the exit of the training ground.

Rita and Adam followed Yulandel through the training grounds' exit and into a narrow, dimly lit corridor. The walls on both sides of the corridor were covered with photos of the Valkyries' fierce battles, each one documenting their bravery and sacrifice.

At the end of the corridor was a massive iron door. Inlaid with delicate patterns, it exuded an ancient and mysterious aura. Yulandel pushed the door open, revealing a spacious and luxuriously decorated hall.

The walls of the hall are covered with huge paintings depicting scenes of heroic battles, and in the center of the hall stands a statue of a majestic and noble female warrior, sword in hand, gazing into the distance.

Adam didn't look around at this time, but waited silently for Yulandel and Rita to speak.

The two of them seemed to understand what Adam meant, so they simply said, "Mr. Adam, I believe you already know the purpose of our visit this time, right?"

Facing Rita's question, Adam pretended not to know and said, "What's your purpose? I don't know what your purpose is."

Faced with Adam's deafness and dumbness, Rita couldn't help but smile bitterly.

It seems that getting some information from Adam is not as easy as imagined.

Chapter 693: Saint Freya's Disaster

During Adam's departure for the Mandate headquarters, Saint Freya's story underwent a series of surprising changes. First, Wendy, once the Herrscher of Wind, was found. This news sparked a fierce battle between Mandate and Anti-Entropy, and the war began.
