After arriving at the helipad and leaving the team, Zed went back to his house with intention of checking on his sister. Though he hoped to see her getting better, right now she was in the same condition as before he left. Zed didn't wanted to resort techniques such as siphoning other worlds to make his sister live but as of now, he had doubts that other way will work. He was God of Life but his powers were limited regarding his sister and without proper believers he wouldn't even be considered god.
If he wants to become all powerful and be worshiped by others, he has to show up in front of the world and make sick people take the lead in forming cults worshiping him. Maybe his plan will cause many families to fall apart, or some people with evil intentions to use his cults for their own advantage. Nevertheless, this was the only way Zed could think of. If someone were to do those unspeakable things and he somehow noticed it, he would punish them for all the world to see.

After spending some time with his family, and ensuring them that he will definitely find a way for his sister to become better, Zed left the house to implement the first step of the plan. His first step will be using his power in public places to be recorded and shared on social media, eventually becoming the top topic in mainstream media. Zed doesn't plan on becoming a god with vicious skills for most people to hate, but he is planning to become a god with blessings for the world for most people to like him from the moment they see him. With that in mind, Zed opened the system shop and bought a few things to help him with his plan. He firstly bought simple skills like Levitating and Golden Halo.
Levitating wasn't the most crucial skill, but it still needed to attract attention and leave people with an open mouth. Though most people wouldn't believe and think he is using the same method people use to stay levitating with a stick, Zed planned to leave an impression on at least a few people by levitating.
Golden Halo on the other hand, was a skill needed for a god like him. This skill was radiating a golden aura around him, which is impossible to see by ordinary humans, mages and chi cultivators. The aura, though impossible to be seen by people, it still effects people's thoughts and their vision of him. Even if he was the primary suspect of a murder, investigators and public opinion would be by his side just because of this skill.
After buying these two skills just for visuality, Zed went to the Central Hospital with a plan in his mind.
After ten minutes or so, he arrived at the hospital and strolled around before seeing a little girl around the age of eight walking while carrying serums. Zed suddenly felt his surrounding change as he heard the wailings coming inside her. Unable to listen to it, Zed covered his ears and wanted to run away but something was stopping him. Just then, Zed's eyes widened as he kept looking at one direction.
People passing by would think Zed as lunatic because he was standing there, covering his eyes and looking to the wall with widened eyes. But none of them knew how much pain Zed was feeling by standing there. For the first time, Zed was experiencing the pain of having this god power. He could hear the agonizing wailing of people inside the hospital. He could hear their dying cells trying to fight off the virus and diseases trying to invade their body's. In just a second, thousands of tiny creatures were dying just so their life givers to live on.
Listening and feeling all that, Zed couldn't bear it and his eyes suddenly got teary as he still kept looking at the wall. Few seconds later, he snapped back to the reality and wiped his eyes. 'Poor beings.' Zed thought to himself as went to find the little girl he saw. From what Zed learnt by listening to hear body, she was diagnosed with incurable cancer. The cancer was slowly making it's way toward the brain each second. Her weak immune system was trying their best but, she couldn't produce strong immune cells.
After a minute of walking, he saw the girl walking inside a room. Standing at the door, Zed looked inside and didn't see anyone except the little girl. Zed, even though wanted to cure her quickly, he didn't wanted to step inside as she was alone in the room. Even though his intentions were clear and he wasn't a predator, someone might misunderstand that.
After waiting for few minutes close the door, he saw a couple and teenage boy following them. Next second they entered the little girl's room. Seeing them Zed followed and walked inside. At first, no one noticed him as they were all focused on the girl but teenage boy felt someone behind him and turned around to see Zed with teary eyes.
"Umm.. Mister?" Teenage boy spoke to Zed snapping him back to the reality once again. Hearing the teenage boy, everyone inside the room turned their gaze back at Zed with questioning looks.
Zed felt their gazes but ignored them and made his way towards the girl. Though normally people would avoid someone getting close to their child, something about Zed eased them and they didn't interfere. Little girl also felt the same and kept looking at Zed while he took steps toward her.

"Poor child. Have no worries, everything will be fine." Zed blurted out unconsciously. Unbeknownst to everyone inside the room, Zed succumbed to his powers once again and felt drawn by her agony.
A step way from her bed, Zed raised his hands forward, aimed at her. The next second, he started radiating green light around himself and little girl. The family, at first panicked and wanted to stop him but they were shocked at what they saw. Their little girl, who had her hairs shaved because of the ongoing treatment, was playing with her long black hair. Too shocked to move, family watched it in awe.
After few seconds passed, the green light diminished and the little girl's hair had already reached her belly. Her pale skin suddenly vitalized and it turned normal. She then jumped up and down on the bed. "Mom, dad look! I don't feel tired anymore!" She said while jumping on the bed. "Oh my god! Thank you mist—" little girl's mother spoke intending to thank the mysterious person but the second she turned her head, Zed was gone. Family noticed Zed's absence but it didn't stop them from thanking him. Family of four, bowed towards the place Zed was standing and thanked him.
After leaving the room, Zed kept visiting other rooms and healing those who are suffering. Some people he healed were diagnosed with incurable diseases while some had missing body parts which he created from nothing. The hospital, which was the house of suffering, suddenly became lively as more and more people's diseases vanished.
After an hour later, Zed leaned against the guard rails on the rooftop of hospital. He was watching the bustle city. Some might the city like this beautiful but all he could see was suffering. People were racking their brains in hope to becoming rich or being able person for their families but all they accomplished was a suffering body. They might have the control over the body, but they didn't know what was happening inside that body.
Zed also wasn't much different from them. He also had those hopes and struggle to become better than others. He was a student, but he knew the importance of learning at that age. He wasn't the most successful but he wasn't a idiot too.
After a heavy sigh, Zed decided to leave before getting caught by one of the patient's family he cured. Though he did that to spread his miracles around, he didn't wanted them to surround him with questions. Jumping from the roof of hospital, he levitated himself inches before touching the ground. Some people were shocked to see him do that while some recognized who he was. Contrary of what Zed thought, thos people who knew him didn't wanted to disturb him, rather they were happy to see him once again.

After leaving the hospital and driving around aimlessly, Zed witnessed to hit and run. At first when he saw the car hitting the woman, he was shocked but didn't bothered as the woman's condition wasn't critical but the next second driver pushed the pedal and run-over the woman. Then at that moment Zed knew she wouldn't be saved by hospital. He wanted to chase the car but it wasn't important than the woman.
Quickly moving to the scene, he parted those who were blocking the path and rushed towards her. After seeing her up close, he was more than sure that she will die in few minutes. "We don't have time! Quick help me carry her to the car. Don't move her body too much!" Zed said and people around listened to him. After all, it's not every day that you witness such a scene and able to help.
After helping Zed, they dispersed and continued with their daily life while Zed drove the car to secluded location. After finding a good spot, he quickly activated his skill and started healing her. At hospital, he was able to heal so many person in hour because it was all about killing the malicious cells and creating the missing pieces in the body, but right now he had to create almost everything because the girl was unrecognizable after the incident.
Her legs and ribs were shattered, those shattered bones were piercing through her internal organs. Her heart was beating but it was too shallow. She couldn't breath comfortable because of her lungs. Zed had to focus on multiple tasks while having too little time to heal her.
After few hours passed, Zed sighed and leaned back on his seat. It has been so much that he didn't had any energy left inside his body. It may be because of his healing spree before healing her or it was because of his powers are still too immature. He couldn't know the answer right now but he will test it later.
While Zed was lost in his thoughts, the girl at the back seat opened her eyes slowly and noticed him sitting on driver's seat. Then she noticed blood on her hand and blood on the seat she was laying. At the same time, Zed also noticed her and turned to look at her before getting punched.
