Inside the Safe Zone, the enormous livestream screens in every War Readiness Zone suddenly went black in unison.
The crowds erupted in an instant.
Especially after they had just seen a vast, densely packed army of Invaders arrive, the abrupt end to the livestream made it hard not to assume the worst.
Was the enemy's force so terrifying this time that the United Government's leaders had cut the signal for fear of a total collapse, trying to hide the truth and pretend all was well?

If they had not cut the broadcast voluntarily, then the signal had been forcibly severed.
But considering that the enemy had yet to enter the Safe Zone, and their scientific research capabilities were unremarkable, far behind those of the Eighth Domain, the chance that they had cut the livestream signal was minuscule.
