This massive alien invasion war ended when He-El squeezed the last Leviathan into a ball.
What followed was the horrific casualty count.
New York had the highest population density in the entire United States. With nearly nine million people packed together, the war had erupted in the heart of New York City. Although a twenty-kilometer security perimeter had been established around the spatial wormhole exit in advance,
the troops and weapons prepared on the ground suffered the most severe blow in the first wave and could not regroup. The alien army then spread rapidly beyond the twenty-kilometer perimeter, reaching as far as seventy kilometers away, causing at least 300,000 deaths and 700,000 injuries.
The whole of New York City sank into wails and agony, while the sky turned gray and heavy.
Afterward, Congress swiftly passed an emergency provision, allowing He-El to take office directly as president.
He-El quickly exercised his presidential authority, ordering the military to move in and place New York City under strict control. The first thing he did was conduct large-scale disinfection to prevent any strange viruses the aliens might have brought from space.
After the disinfection, all alien corpses, living aliens, alien weapons, and equipment were hauled away by the military and S.H.I.E.L.D. The Leviathans that were too massive to transport for the time being were isolated inside hastily constructed decontamination chambers.
He-El mobilized large numbers of medical personnel from nearby cities such as Hamilton City, Lakeport, and Rochester and sent them to New York City.
New York City's most vital medical system, the Medical Rebirth district, had also suffered extensive alien attacks. The Regeneration Cradles had all been blown up, and doctors and nurses had suffered terrible casualties.
Dr. Helen Cho organized the medical personnel still capable of working and treated civilians day and night
