The Ashley Goddess statue was a famous landmark in Country A. Inspired by the goddess Ashley from Western classical mythology, it was a massive, exquisitely crafted metal statue.
The mythical goddess Ashley was renowned throughout the world for her beauty and wisdom. You could say she was the ancient world's "goddess." She also had many "legendary deeds," the most famous of which was the story of how she braved countless dangers and fought an evil dragon to protect humanity, sacrificing herself in the process. The Goddess's Sword and the Goddess's Thunderclap were both famous legends.
The Ashley Goddess statue depicted the goddess holding a sword in her right hand and a bolt of lightning in her left.
Now, in the video, this world-famous work of art, tourist attraction, and architectural landmark exploded in an instant.
The goddess's head disappeared into flames and black smoke, while the sword in her hand and the lightning in her other hand both shook slightly.
The camera shook with them, capturing the screams of the people around it.
The next second, the sword the goddess held, along with her right hand, fell to the ground and plunged straight into it. Her left hand and the bolt of lightning crashed down as well, kicking up clouds of dust. Amid the billowing dust, the statue tilted and crashed to the ground, accompanied by the terrified screams of countless people.
Dust swept over the camera, turning the entire screen gray and hazy.
I was dumbstruck.
This was the sort of thing one rarely saw in a lifetime. It was only in Country A's movies that they casually destroyed one or two landmarks, using spectacular special effects to stun audiences.
But that kind of visual impact was fleeting. It could never compare to the shock of this video.
