7:30 p.m.
Beep, beep, beep.
New York's Times Square was still as busy as ever.
Pedestrians and vehicles streamed endlessly through, everyone enjoying the start of the nightlife.
Boom!!
With a thunderous crash and billowing dust, a colossal object suddenly rose from the ground!
The street went silent at first, then fell into chaos the next instant, the entire flow of traffic forcibly cut off!
Noise, chaos, screams, panic.
Some people were so frightened they fell to the ground, completely at a loss. Some mustered the courage to pull out their phones and call the police. Even more pointed ahead and shouted at the top of their lungs, looking as if they had just witnessed something that would shock their mothers for a whole year!
"The—Statue of Liberty?
Isn't it on Liberty Island? How is it here?"
"No, I must be hallucinating. It looked like it just suddenly appeared there!"
"Oh God, who brought it here? Could it really be aliens?!"
"Hey~ can someone move it away? I'm in a hurry to get home!"
"."
Such a tall structure suddenly appearing in New York City's Times Square naturally drew extraordinary attention.
The New York Daily News was the first to seize the opportunity. Without another word, they immediately dispatched reporters in a news helicopter.
Their boss shouted reminders from the helipad behind them, insisting they had to get first-hand information!
Bang!!
United States President Belden slammed the table furiously, roaring as he pointed at the image on the television.
"Gentlemen, ladies, I need you to come up with a plan as soon as possible. How do we move this big guy out of Times Square?"
The heads of the various government departments sat on either side of him, looking at one another for a while before someone offered a suggestion.
