Everyone in the main city district was drawn by the earth-shattering explosion. Following the sound, they looked up at the Municipal Building, now reduced to ruins, and stood frozen in shock.
The streaming feeds throughout the streets were still reporting on the upcoming victory banquet to be held at the Municipal Building. In the blink of an eye, the venue had collapsed amid a thunderous explosion, without the slightest warning.
"Enemy attack!!!"
"Enemy attack!!!"
After a moment of deathly silence, the entire planet erupted.

His jet-black hair was speckled with azure ice crystals from the frost storm, while his gleaming silver armor reflected layer after layer of mesmerizing light beneath the sun.

"Who is he?"
"Looking at his face... wait, isn't he the fugitive on the wanted poster?!"
"Looks like it. Wait, this fugitive blew up the Municipal Building???!!!"
The obvious reality left everyone on U40 Planet dumbfounded. They had seen arrogant fugitives before, but never one this arrogant.

No, wait, he really was floating in the sky...
"Where is the Planetary Security Force?"
"What about the military?"
"Why hasn't the Planetary Defense System attacked him yet?"
People's confusion only intensified as time passed. Especially when they saw the ice sculptures standing amid the Municipal Building's ruins, the panic in their hearts boiled to its peak!
