Now the whole world worships Zoffy as a god, which makes him, the real person involved, feel extremely awkward.
At the time, he only wanted to purify the atomic smog that was covering the world and was imbued with the power of the Dark Shadow Mage. He did not expect that the flash of the timer would have such strong penetrating power that it would permeate the entire planet inside and out.
Not only were all the monsters with the power of the Dark Shadow Mage purified, but all normal life in the world was as if it had been healed by his full power of light in human form. Minor ailments and serious illnesses that were on the verge of death all disappeared in an instant. Even those who were missing limbs grew back. How outrageous is that?
The assessment that the power of light is infinite might contain a bit of idealistic fervor, so it's best not to dwell on it too much, otherwise you'll start losing your hair from overthinking it.
Thinking of this, Li Qingyang couldn't help but sigh.
"The total is XXXX yuan," the cashier announced.
"..."
Li Qingyang glanced at the few thin bills in his hand, feeling a pang of sadness. He reluctantly paid the money, then walked out of the supermarket with Kato Megumi carrying shopping bags.
The night breeze was a bit chilly, and the streets were filled with celebrating crowds.
Some people even set up small altars by the roadside, placing flowers and offerings in front of Zoffy's photos and worshipping towards the sky, which made Li Qingyang feel inexplicably ashamed...
"Human emotions can be so extreme..." Kato Megumi looked at the frenzied crowd, a faint smile on her lips, and said calmly, "This morning everyone was acting like the world was ending and they were in despair, but by night they were partying."
Li Qingyang turned his head and looked at the girl beside him.
The night lights outlined the soft profile of Kato Megumi's face, her signature bob swaying gently with her steps, her tone as calm as ever, as if she had just stated that the weather was nice today.
The girl was surrounded by a frenzied crowd, the air thick with the euphoria of surviving a disaster and the smell of sweat. Yet, she seemed to possess an invisible barrier, shutting out all the noise.
For these people who have just been pulled back from the brink of hell, this frenzy may be a good way to vent their fears.
But given her calm and collected nature, it might be difficult for her to express such dramatic emotional swings.
Despite the clamor of the world, she remains as serene as water… (The rest of the text appears to be unrelated and possibly machine-generated gibberish.)
Damn it.
"Saying things like that makes you feel like you're isolating yourself from humanity."
Li Qingyang turned his gaze back to the front and said in a calm tone, "Aren't you human too? You just have a more stable personality and don't make a fuss like other people. That's a very precious quality."
In his world, her stable personality, comparable to the progress bar of a Pinduoduo discount, is quite... ahem.
If I continue, this book will be reported...
Main text: Chapter 50 Sigh... Kuroshio Island fighting three against one, is this a dream?
The Kato couple's efficiency far exceeded Li Qingyang's expectations.
During the hour or so that he and Kato Megumi went shopping, a small van parked downstairs at the apartment building, loaded with some common furniture.
The man driving the car was a relative of Mr. Kato. He greeted him cheerfully and then helped Mr. Kato unload things from the car.
A bed frame, a mattress, a low table, two chairs, and some pots and pans.
The furniture was all old and worn, but it was exactly the kind of stuff an empty room needed.
"Let me help."
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Li."
After handing the purchased items to Mrs. Kato, Li Qingyang rolled up his sleeves and joined the ranks of those moving things without saying a word.
Mr. Kato was struggling with a heavy headboard, gripping the edge with both hands, his cheeks flushed from strain, the board barely a few centimeters off the ground.
"Uncle, let me do it."
Li Qingyang walked over, held the bed board with one hand, and easily picked up the other end with the other hand, steadily lifting the entire headboard. His steps were not faltering at all, and he went straight upstairs.
Mr. Kato was dumbfounded. He opened his mouth, staring at Li Qingyang's relaxed and carefree back, but couldn't say a word for a long time. In the end, he could only wipe his sweat and follow after him.
"Are all young people these days... so strong?" he muttered to his smiling wife beside him.
Kato Megumi watched from the side, smiling with her lips pursed, saying nothing, but silently picked up a lighter bag of miscellaneous items and followed behind Li Qingyang.
With many hands making light work, and thanks to Li Qingyang's superhuman physical strength, the moving work, which would normally take a long time, was basically completed in less than ten minutes.
The empty single apartment finally felt a bit more alive.
However, it's not time to relax yet. The Kato couple originally planned to settle Li Qingyang's rented room tonight, then stay at a relative's house for another night and deal with the rest tomorrow. But now they realize... there's still plenty of time.
The two middle-aged men discussed it, clapped their hands, and decided to continue.
Kato's relative was also a very honest person. Without saying a word, he drove his small truck with Mr. Kato to the second-hand market and brought back a truckload of large home appliances.
"Uncle, is this your house next? Let me go."
Li Qingyang put down the bottled water in his hand, rolled up his sleeves, and was about to go up again.
"No, no, Mr. Li, we can't accept that. We can handle the rest ourselves."
Mr. Kato quickly waved his hand, trying to stop Li Qingyang from stepping forward again.
These things are much heavier than the loose pieces of furniture we just saw, so how could we trouble them again?
Li Qingyang ignored his polite words and glanced at the refrigerator, which was as tall as a person, on the truck.
He walked straight over, went around to the back of the refrigerator, found the point of leverage with his hands, and lowered his back.
"Uncle, you can take the smaller items upstairs."
Before he finished speaking, he picked up the refrigerator, which would have required at least two adult men to move with difficulty.
Li Qingyang remained expressionless, acting as if nothing had happened. He walked steadily towards the stairwell, even turning sideways to look down at the stairs, as if he were holding a giant bubble as tall as a person in his arms...
"Isn't this child tired at all...?"
Mr. Kato and his relative were stunned on the spot, their mouths agape, unable to utter a single word.
"...This young man is really something! Xiaohui has a good eye..." Kato's relative snapped out of her daze, patted Mr. Kato on the shoulder, and winked.
"Oh dear, it's not even close to being settled yet, stop talking nonsense, don't let the child hear it, it would be too embarrassing." Mr. Kato said this, but he couldn't hide the smile on his face.
Next, the two middle-aged men were relegated to being mere assistants.
They followed behind, carrying pots and pans, watching helplessly as Li Qingyang carried heavy items like the washing machine and wardrobe into the apartment next door with ease, as if he were building blocks...
Upon closer inspection, their footsteps were even faster than theirs!
Holy crap, this young man...
Meanwhile, in Li Qingyang's single apartment.
Kato Megumi and her mother are putting away the household items they bought one by one.
Mrs. Kato carefully wiped the pots and pans clean and put them in the cupboard, muttering to herself.
"Li Jun is such a good kid. He's strong, kind-hearted, and most importantly, he's so young yet already possesses professional medical knowledge that allows him to work independently. He has a bright future ahead of him."
"Ah."
Kato Megumi responded, seemingly oblivious to her mother's unspoken meaning, and began stuffing several packets of instant noodles and fast rice into a small storage compartment.
Through the open door, she could see Li Qingyang's profile as he effortlessly carried heavy objects, his calm face showing no emotion, except that he arranged the instant noodles more neatly.
The boy who was recently haggling over the price difference of a pack of instant noodles vaguely overlapped with the towering figure she had seen in the light before.
This contrast struck her as somewhat peculiar.
Thanks to Li Qingyang's inhuman efficiency, the Kato family's move was quickly completed.
The Kato family's relatives gave Li Qingyang a thumbs-up and praised him repeatedly before leaving in their empty pickup truck.
As night deepened, the streets of Chiba still echoed with the clamor of celebrating 'Zoffy's Miracle Day,' but inside this small apartment building, it was unusually quiet.
In Li Qingyang's new home, the four of them sat around the low table that had just been moved in.
Several bento boxes brought by Mrs. Kato were laid out on the table, and the aroma of the food instantly dispelled the unfamiliarity of the new room.
"Li Jun, thank you so much for today! If it weren't for you, we two old bones would have been exhausted indefinitely."
Mr. Kato picked up a can of beer and said with a smile.
"Come, let me toast you."
"Uncle, you're too kind."
Li Qingyang picked up the barley tea in front of him and clinked it against the other person's.
He took a bite of the crispy fried pork chop in the bento box, and the aroma of the food mixed with the warm atmosphere of a strange family made him feel dazed for a moment.
He thought his heart had hardened long ago, and he had long been used to loneliness.
But at this moment, all I could hear was the gentle laughter of the Kato couple, and beside me was the profile of Kato Emi quietly eating.
This small room, decorated by several people working together, suddenly gained a wonderful warmth because of this simple dinner.
A long-lost warmth, almost forgotten by him, rose from his stomach and slowly spread throughout his body.
This feeling is both familiar and strange...
Feeling a bit relaxed...
……
The meal ended in a warm and harmonious atmosphere.
After packing up the lunchboxes and giving them a few more instructions, the Kato couple took Kato Megumi back to their new home next door.
The room fell silent instantly after the door closed.
Li Qingyang lay on the newly made mattress, staring at the unfamiliar ceiling, listening to the rustling of insects outside the window.
These subtle sounds, far from irritating him, were like a calming lullaby.
He closed his eyes, and his mind was no longer filled with monsters, light, and fierce battles, but with the laughter at the dinner table and the taste of that pork chop rice.
If we can't go back anytime soon, perhaps... staying here for the time being isn't so bad.
As he thought this, his consciousness gradually sank into darkness...
The night grew deeper.
After a period of unrestrained revelry, Chiba Prefecture fell into a deep and peaceful slumber, with everyone sleeping soundly.
The moonlight struggled to squeeze through the thin curtains of the cheap apartment building, casting a small, blurry patch of light on the brand-new wooden floor, illuminating the dust particles floating in the air.
The black-haired boy lay on his own single bed, his breathing steady and deep.
They are completely unaware of anything in the outside world.
They are also completely unaware of the changes taking place within their own bodies.
Just as everything was silent, a ray of pure golden light suddenly shone slowly from Li Qingyang's chest.
The sleeping consciousness was enveloped in golden light, spinning around in the quiet bedroom.
Then, in a flash, it silently pierced through the barriers of the material world, easily ignoring the spacetime exit that the Dark Shadow Mage had painstakingly sealed off, and shot straight into the spacetime tunnel, following a wisp of darkness undulating in the chaotic currents, resolutely escaping into the chaotic dimensional turbulence...
…………
The sky was a complete, deathly black.
Thick, inky clouds hung low, as if they might collapse at any moment and swallow the entire world.
The gale-force winds whipped up large raindrops, lashing the sea and creating towering waves that crashed one after another against an island that was already mostly submerged.
High above, amidst the roaring wind and rain, Li Qingyang's consciousness slowly awoke. The first thing that caught his eye was the island submerged by the tsunami from his vantage point.
On the island's coast, a crimson giant was locked in fierce combat with two monsters, one black and one red. The giant's battle roars and the monsters' howls soared into the sky...
Uh... um?
No.
Where the hell am I??
Wasn't I sleeping?
Li Qingyang was completely bewildered.

Three short chapters, more to come later.
