HDXD: Omni Harem System-Chapter 259: It’s Over

Deep within the cavern, Adam stood, his bone frame foot crunching against the frost-slicked stone, the air was frosted and cold here, but more tolerable than the outside of this place.

The cavern's walls, jagged and glistening with frozen veins of ice crystal, that lighted the place with a faint red glow, cast mostly by the massive crystals embedded in the rock.

They weren't just illuminating the hollow gloom; they seemed to hum with a life of their own, in a way they where incomplete newborns eggs for say.

That why, the entire place was filled with them. Hundred crack at a time in different parts of the deeper pits.

Their crimson light flickering their own heartbeat, in the stillness of this frozen hell.

"I guess I should killed the queen now, and get this over with."

Adam's said as his breath misted in the air, though he barely noticed. His focus was inward, tapping into the Monster Energy that churned within him.

Killing the queen would be done swiftly and with one attack no less.

Still more than anything else, Adam just wanted to go home, and see his sister's.

This exam was more stress than it was excitement, all because of those damn cultist.

It goes without saying he was not please in form of the word.

As such he didn't speak any further. He didn't need to. On the other hand, the energy answered his call, and with a subtle shift in his stance, he began to rise slowly into the sky of the cavern.

His body lifted from the ground, weightless, defying the cavern's oppressive gravity. The red glow bathed him, casting his silhouette against the icy walls, a lone figure floating in a sea of crimson light. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

His eyes, sharp and unyielding like two bright sun's of gold looked down at his target, as it was locked onto the grotesque sight below, deeper in the earth, where the cavern opened into a chasm of nightmare.

There, in the bowels of the planet, writhed the Cryokinetic Slugs Queen. A monstrous blob of reproductive mass, its form was a pulsating, gelatinous horror, studded with countless writhing tendrils that burrowed into the surrounding ice, pushing out crimson ice eggs, and sticking then any surface it could fine.

At its core, a pulsating nexus of energy, the heart of the Hive, beat with a sickening rhythm. The Queen wasn't just a creature; it was a function of this planets decay, a living engine of frost that had choked the planet for eons, locking it in an eternal winter.

Its presence was an insult to it existence, a blight that Adam could feel crawling against his skin, even through the Monster Energy shielding him.

Without a word, Adam raised his hands to his chest, his palms facing each other. The air around him crackled, the Monster Energy within him began to surge forth like a dam breaking.

A ball of raw inner power formed between his hands, a swirling maelstrom of black and red, that caused lightning to form, as the ball of energy he was creating to end this nightmare began spitting sparks that hissed as they met the icy air.

The energy grew, expanding, its edges fraying into tendrils of black lightning that lashed out, vaporizing the cavern walls in bursts of molten stone and steam.

The crystals shattered, their red glow snuffed out as the energy consumed them, leaving only scorched, jagged scars in their place.

Memories of what he began to experience here began to hit him, everything Vileth put him through before he turn the pages of story literally just to undo a grave mistake that killed literally everyone.

"How bothersome... So that what experiencing a dead end feels like."

Adam said to himself.

The power building more and more, passively he began to poor the frustration into the attack.

He didn't want to blow up the planet so he couldn't vent fully.

But nonetheless Adam's face was a mask of cold determination.

"I can't make an ending like that happen again, I won't let anyone hurt them, even me...Vileth, I hope you enjoy those reality eater's. But fear not that is not the end of my revenge, I will have you pay dearly."

His heart was set on that goal, for the first time Adam felt genuine hate to another.

And wan no less, to him, he did not see himself capable.

But everyday that passes he learn something new about himself.

That aside though his focus went back on the blight before him.

The Queen had to die, and with it, the frozen hell it had birthed. He pointed the roiling sphere of Monster Energy downward, aiming for the heart of the chasm, where the Queen's grotesque form pulsed.

The energy responded to his will, elongating into a lance of pure destruction, its surface crackling with red and black lightning that tore at the fabric of reality itself.

"Lance of Typhon!"

He shouted, and his attack shot forward faster than the speed of light, as the queen is, there was literally no way it could even dodge this.

The blast launched with a soundless roar, a wave of force that shook the cavern to its core. It streaked toward the Queen, a comet of annihilation, and when it struck, the world screamed.

The explosion was cataclysmic, a blinding eruption of light and heat that consumed the chasm, the Queen, and everything within hundred of miles.

BOOOOOOOOOOOM!!

The cavern collapsed inward, walls crumbling into molten slag as the blast ripped through the earth. From the planet's surface, the explosion would have been visible from space, a radiant scar of fire, energy, miasma, and lightning that burned through the eternal snow, a wound in the planet's frozen crust.

The shockwaves flowed through out the entire planet, but the worst of it was at the origin, some students where blown away and injured because of it, but they will live.

As a giant black and red fire ball was formed parting the thick clouds of the endless snow storm.

When the light faded and the echoes of the blast died down, Adam remained, floating above the epicenter of the chaos.

Below him stretched a crater, vast and incomprehensible, stretching about forty miles deep and wider still.

The Twins Mountains, where the cavern's entrance once yawned, were gone, reduced to ash and dust. The thick snow clouds, conjured by the Queen's cryogenic grip, had evaporated, leaving the sky clear for the first time in billions of years.

The planet, tidally locked for eons, shuddered as it began to rotate once more, its ancient mechanisms grinding back to life under the influence of Adam's act.

Everything within the blast's range was gone. Not even ashes remained at the epicenter, just a void of scorched earth and silence.

The Queen, the Hive, the frozen hell, it was all erased, as if it had never existed. Adam hovered above the crater.

His expression blank, his eyes reflecting the desolation below. The Monster Energy within him quieted, its black and red tendrils retreating back into his core, leaving him suspended in the still air.

He sighed, a long, heavy exhale.

"It's finally over."

He muttered, his voice low, almost swallowed by the vastness of the crater. At that moment, the golden magic circle that had hovered in the sky above the planet, a manifestation of his divine spell, flickered and faded.

Its ten-minute timer had run its course, the intricate runes dissolving into motes of light that drifted away on the wind.

The spell had done its work, despite weakening him.

Adam's gaze lingered on the devastation below.

The planet was free, but at what cost?

The crater was a visible proof to his power, but also a good representation of how he feels right now, empty, angry, and full of rage for Vileth.

"I need to calm down."

He said.

"Or better yet, I should just leave."

With this mind made up, Adam didn't linger on the thought. There was no time for regret, not when the world no the universe still churned with threats like Vileth.

And despite yeeting her to the Neither Space, Adam knew her horrific fate was but a temporary experience, and not a permanent solution.

As he had sent her there out of pure hate for her and wanting her to feel even a bit of his pain, so he picked that nightmare realm, knowing full well what awaited her.

The memory of Echidna's teachings flashed through his mind, her warnings about the Reality Eaters, when she shared her memories about them, and there home.

He smirked faintly, a flicker of grim satisfaction.

"Good luck, you bitch."

He muttered, echoing his earlier taunt.

But there was no time to gloat. His work here was done, and his own timeline called him back.

He closed his eyes, focusing on the familiar pull of his Memory Point ability. The air around him shimmered, a faint green glow sparking at the edges of his vision, and with a flash of green light, he was gone, leaving the scarred planet behind, as he returned back to the present timeline, saying goodbye to change past.
