It's an alright day, birds are singing, and flowers are blooming, but there's one major problem. A person who has a voice so high-pitched it can destroy the entire cosmos as we know it. Adam Levine. Singer of Maroon 5 a once okay pop rock band that became a soulless Imagine Dragons clone that churns out the most bland and tiresome music of all time. Sure there's worse music out there, AJR, Imagine Dragons, and modern Thirty Seconds to Mars, but his voice is so grating to the ears that it could potentially cause hearing damage and in some cases complete and utter death. Yes, his voice can shatter heads to oblivion he's a menace.
You're just chilling in your house watching TV like normal until you get an announcement from a concerned news reporter, the look on their face is that of utter dread. It's a male reporter who's in his early fifties from the looks of things, who seems like he has an important message to relay to the rest of the world knowing that something dire is going to happen. You were trying to make sense of why you were getting when the reporter spoke, looking completely and utterly mortified by what they were about to reveal.
"...We live in confusing times. That much is a given." You yawned so far at the statement. "However... be careful. There's a deranged lunatic on the loose who's going around killing people! He's traveling from state in milliseconds teleporting like some interdimensional deity! He'll sing the most high-pitched note of all time and kill you. Lock your doors, or head to space. He's not a man he's a monster. Adam Levine needs to be stopped!"
Once you heard that, it sounded absurd, ridiculous, there's no way in hell that's true. It sounds like a bad Robot Chicken sketch or something you'd see on Key & Peele. There's no way... it's true, is it? Right as you were about to gather your thoughts, Adam Levine teleported and broke into the news reporter's studio. The frightened look on their face was that of someone who was about to die. You never had seen such fear before, it was weird, and baffling to say the least. "Get away from me you sub-human monster!" The newsreporter reached for his gun but he wasn't enough and Adam's shrill voice blew his head open causing him to fall to the floor dead.
This was... real. Knowing the severity of what was going to happen, you opened one of your blinds and saw that all of your neighbors were dead, headless bodies on the ground. You have to move and fast. You find a pair of earmuffs, and grab a Glock-17 pistol just in case, before storming outside and running like hell. You find a beat-up car, and before long you start driving to Washington DC, a hell of a long drive, yes, but it is a necessity. At this point, it's the apocalypse and the laws as far are you're concerned don't matter, you turn on your car's radio and hear that half of the world's population has been wiped out by Adam Levine. The fact that his voice could do that... is horrifying and you want to do anything to avoid it.
Eventually, you arrive at Washington DC, you grab one of the keycards from one of the dead security guards, and you enter the white house, trying to bunker down. Seems like Adam hasn't gotten here yet. You're safe... so far at least, but how long will this last? Will you be able to survive? Honestly, no one knows, and the president looks terrified knowing that the world around him is going to be wiped out by this one man, this arrogant sociopath to humanity.
One of the guards speaks up. "Mr. President 95% of the world has been wiped out what do we do sir?!" The president was flabbergasted. "I-I don't know but we need to kill him! Somehow." Then... the worst thing happened, Adam showed up, you ran like hell, and the only reason you were safe was because of your earmuffs. You ran as the president's bodyguards and the president himself died from Adam's shrill voice.
You try to fortify yourself in the president's office, hell, if Elon Musk wasn't already dead you'd call him about going to Mars, but you can't. And Nasa? They're already dead. You check your phone 99% of the world's population has been wiped out, you're the sole survivor of the human world being destroyed. The fact that you're the last one standing is scary as hell. You'd do anything to not be in this situation but you are. You try to look out the window, get your mind off it. Maybe Adam will stop, right?
If only... it were that simple, before long Adam Levine's shrill voice breaks through your door barrier. You pull out your gun lining up the shot, but Adam teleports in front of you and removes your earmuffs your only safety guard removed. "No, stop! I waaaaaant to live damn it!" Your plea fell on deaf ears as Adam smirked, and delivered a note so high-pitched it made your head explode and killed you. He wailed again, and this time Adam's high-pitched note came back to bite him and also killed him, before long the note was sustained and blew up Earth. Civilization was no more.
No one knew Adam Levine was capable of such a feat, but he was always up for the task. Even if it wasn't reasonable and made no zero to begin with. He was so powerful that he killed everyone and also him, and the entire planet in one fell swoop. Aliens who had been observing the chaos weren't what to make of it but it was truly a tragedy on all accounts. Unfortunate as it was... this was how Adam Levine destroyed the world. It's not coming back anytime soon.
