After a long silence, she finally spoke.

"Does Qingyang still want to go back?"

"Of course I want to." Li Qingyang nodded without hesitation. "I have my own world and my own life. Although I am very fulfilled here, it is not my final destination."

The little ghost girl lowered her head, her slender fingers gently stroking the hem of her red skirt.

“But…” her voice became even softer, “If Qingyang leaves, Kaguya will be very sad.”

Li Qingyang was stunned for a moment, recalling the young lady whose icy image had shattered since she gained freedom.

When he holds the little ghost girl to replenish his light, she breathes out.

After seeing how he helped solve academic problems, they would secretly cast admiring glances at him.

Knowing that he had been engrossed in working on the Earth's automated defense system, she also devoted herself to studying that area, learning from Miku knowledge that was quite obscure and difficult for her.

A certain perfect maid once secretly mentioned to him that the young lady had been studying all night.

Want to learn? Then I'll just give you the whole course, all at once.

Upon hearing this, he immediately used a mind-bridge to impart all his knowledge to her, almost burning her brain. Now, in addition to controlling the Shinomiya family, she has also earned multiple doctoral degrees at the age of 15. Furthermore, she is using all the resources of the Shinomiya Group at her disposal to extend Li Qingyang's defenses globally.

It's fair to say that without her contribution, Li Qingyang would have had to take many detours to build this automated Earth defense system.

“And then there’s Ai, she idolizes Qingyang so much,” the little ghost continued. “And then there’s Hui, she waits for Qingyang every day to have breakfast together, she integrates herself into Qingyang’s life, and she’s even preparing a Christmas gift for Qingyang.”

Li Qingyang's heart tightened inexplicably.

"They all consider Qingyang important." The little ghost girl raised her head, her clear eyes looking directly at him, somewhat saddened. "Is Qingyang really going to leave them? Is he really going to leave...me?"

A long silence fell over the room.

Li Qingyang opened his mouth, recalling the girls' voices and smiles, but found himself conflicted and unable to express himself.

"I..."

"Master?" Miku's voice suddenly rang out, "Abnormal fluctuations in your physiological indicators have been detected. Should I initiate medical procedures?"

Li Qingyang shook his head and sighed.

There must have been some entanglement involved. If the story had ended after eliminating the Dark Shadow Mage earlier, he might have given his answer without hesitation.

But now... he's not a heartless person; he can't just sever this bond so easily.

But then again...

“It’s not like I never came back after I went back.” Li Qingyang pressed the little ghost’s head and gently stroked her hair. “To put it arrogantly, I’m probably a level four mysterious being now. I’ve been to the Tiga world and the Land of Light world, and I’ve come back to you.”

The little ghost girl remained silent, but gently grasped his hand, a glimmer of light appearing in her eyes.

"As long as the coordinates are accurate, traveling back and forth between the two worlds is not a problem for me at all."

"..."

The little ghost girl remained silent, her eyes darting around as she moved her fair little feet forward and hugged his waist in a pleading manner.

Li Qingyang remained silent, then laughed in exasperation, turning his gentle head pat into a violent pinch on the cheek.

"So you really did lose my world coordinates, huh!"

"Waaah..."

............

After a while of commotion, Li Qingyang finally decided to set off first.

His earlier guess was correct; the little ghost had indeed forgotten the way home.

Although this result was expected, my feelings were still somewhat complicated when I actually faced it.

My plan to go home and take a look was completely thwarted.

He had originally planned that since things on Earth were basically settled, he would go back to see his family first, and then come back to handle the follow-up matters, seamlessly transitioning into the dual-world flow of the protagonist's storyline.

Now even the coordinates are gone.

Li Qingyang sat on the sofa, sighing and rubbing his forehead.

Since we can't go back, we'll just have to go and capture that escaped, ancient-level time traveler.

Although I don't know why the light inside me wanted to grab that guy, since grabbing him would allow me to go home, I had to do it.

Li Qingyang grabbed the little ghost girl and held her in his arms.

The little girl in the red dress paused for a moment, then skillfully adjusted her posture, wrapping her slender arms around his neck and pressing her face against his chest.

She thought Li Qingyang had calmed down, and it was time for her usual moment to shine again.

Li Qingyang rolled his eyes and said, "Replenish my Earth Light, especially Uranus. It'll be useful when I'm chasing that guy."

The little ghost girl blinked, as if she had thought of something, and obediently nodded. She stretched out her little hand and gently stroked Li Qingyang's chest. The pure will of the earth began to surge, drawing in the three-colored light of the earth from between heaven and earth and pouring it into his body.

Uranus's enhancement abilities are simply exceptional in search and pursuit.

This power can sense any trace left by anything, even the faintest energy residue, and can be infinitely magnified and traced back to its source.

With Uranus's tracking ability, Li Qingyang was confident that he could find Uranus's traces even in a chaotic spacetime tunnel.

"Qingyang," the little ghost girl whispered, her voice tinged with reluctance, "You must come back, I still want to have a little Ultraman with you."

“...彳”.

............

Seeing Dark Lucifer and Nexus locked in a standoff, Dark Faust didn't hesitate to teleport away.

On the other side of the city, on the rooftop of an abandoned factory, a misty darkness rippled slightly. Riko Saito landed with a thud and fell into a deep coma.

Goroki Makoto stood quietly on the edge of the rooftop, ignoring Riko Saida behind him, letting the night wind blow his black trench coat.

The whole world was plunged into absolute darkness, yet he felt an unprecedented sense of comfort.

The dark energy within my body is growing wildly.

Every wisp of fear rising from a human being, every desperate cry, transformed into pure nourishment that flowed into his veins.

The feeling of power flowing through his blood made him close his eyes and become deeply immersed in it.

"What a beautiful darkness."

Goroki also opened his eyes and looked at the black giant god in the distance that exuded a terrifying aura, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"I never imagined that there would be another being besides me who could command such pure darkness."

He slowly raised his right hand, and a ball of pitch-black energy appeared in his palm, spinning and emitting a chilling aura.

"You need to add some oil, it's too light."

A cold smile curled at the corner of Goroki Shinya's mouth.

"Don't let it end so disappointingly."

In the city center, the red and silver giant raised his arm, and the Nexus Armor on his wrist instantly burst forth with a dazzling light.

We must bring this monster into Meta Realm!

"Drink up—!"

Phase shift fluctuation!

A spiraling golden beam of light shot out from Nexus's armor, soaring into the sky and rapidly spreading in mid-air, forming a massive vortex of light that attempted to bring the entire area under Meta's domain.

Dark Lucifer stared silently at the beam of light that was trying to drag him into another dimension, a hint of disdain seemingly flashing in his scarlet eyes.

He slowly raised his right hand, his five fingers slightly spread.

boom--!

A thick black beam of light burst forth from his palm, instantly tearing apart the golden phase-shifting fluctuations.

Not only that, the dark beam of light continued to surge upwards, tearing the surrounding space into countless fragments.

Click, click—

Space shattered like glass, revealing a distorted void behind it.

A strange, dark purple energy flowed through the shattered spacetime rifts, emitting a chilling buzzing sound.

"what?!"

Nexus stared in shock at the phase shift fluctuations that had been so easily broken.

The Metaverse was actually destroyed?

Just how terrifying is the power of this dark giant?

"Trying to use spatial manipulation in front of me? You're just showing off your limited skills!"

A thought emanated from the body of Dark Lucifer, carrying a strong sense of mockery.

Nexus took a deep breath and clenched his fists.

Since we can't lure the enemy into Meta's territory, we have no choice but to fight to the death here!

"Drink up—!"

Nexus charged toward Dark Lucifer, his silver and red body speeding through the ruins, each step crushing the rubble and kicking up clouds of dust.

The silver-red giant of light suddenly leaped up, his right fist, glowing brilliantly, aimed straight at Dark Lucifer's face.

boom!

Dark Lucifer merely tilted his head slightly as Nexus's fist whizzed past his cheek, creating a series of loud bangs.

"It's too slow."

A chilling thought emanated from Dark Lucifer's body. He slowly raised his left hand, spread his fingers, and casually placed it on Nexus's chest.

boom--!

A terrifying burst of dark energy erupted instantly. Nexus let out a painful groan as he was blasted backward, tumbling through the air in a silver arc before crashing heavily into a street a kilometer away.

Rumbling--

Its enormous body crashed onto the ground, instantly turning the entire street into dust.

Concrete fragments rained down, and steel bars twisted and deformed, emitting a piercing metallic scraping sound.

The core gauge on his chest began to flash a dangerous red light.

Was he already seriously injured with just one blow?

As Jun Himeya felt the intense pain emanating from his body, his silver and red body slowly struggled to his feet amidst the ruins.

Gravel slid off him, making a soft, clattering sound.

"Is this all the power you have?" Dark Lucifer, or rather, the will of the mysterious crystal, was filled with deep disappointment. "I thought you'd be incredibly strong after evolving, but you're nearly killed with just one touch. Did you come here to scam me???"

"Come on, evolve! With your current stats, even if you evolve to the end in the next second, I won't be afraid of you!"

..................

Hehe... I've become honest.

My mother put the hammer on top of my computer case.

There was nothing I could do but obediently shut down the computer and wait until she fell asleep before getting up to write.

That's why it's so late.

(Setting out the bowls~)

Main Text: Chapter 171 Turning Off the Lights and Falling Down = Genuine Nexus

"Cover Ultraman!" Eisuke Wakura's roar exploded in the communication channel. "All units attack!"

The three Chromium Chester fighters instantly turned their noses around, their engines roaring as they charged toward Dark Lucifer.

A barrage of spider missiles rained down like a storm, leaving countless orange-red trails of flame in the darkness.

Boom boom boom boom—!

The dense bursts of fire instantly engulfed Dark Lucifer's massive body; each missile explosion was equivalent to a small-scale pinpoint blast.

Orange-red flames shot into the sky, illuminating the surrounding ruins with flickering light. The violent shockwave whipped up dust and debris, forming a continuously spreading gray storm that completely crushed the distant building remains into dust.
