The Collapsing Statue of Liberty

New York Harbor

As the largest seaport in the United States, it is located at the mouth of the Hudson River in northeastern New York, bordering the Atlantic Ocean to the east.

This port is usually busiest, but at this moment it is unusually quiet.

A large number of Muggle left the area under the Muggle-Repelling Charm by a group of wizards.

Not only Auror, but many wizards also appeared here and began to build magical defensive shields.

No one could understand Congressional President Wilkins ' decision, but it was carried out anyway.

Of course, Wilkins himself didn't understand why, when Graves was clearly in the Capitol Building, and the explosion point would be there, the Auror were sent to defend it.

But this was a task assigned by the Targaryen, so he had no choice but to do it.

However, Graves, standing beneath the Statue of Liberty, paid no attention to this, instead keeping his gaze fixed on the northwest.

By the way, the book-reading app I've been using recently [app name] lets you cache books and read them offline!

That's the direction of the Capitol Building!

He was filled with anxiety, waiting for the explosion that could occur at any moment, and then... wipe this land away.

Wilkins didn't quite believe that the young wizard could stop Graves; he thought Stark would be more likely to succeed.

But at times like these, you have to do something... to avoid appearing incompetent.

This is why, even though he didn't understand, he still sent the Auror to the east coast as requested by the Targaryen.

Picquery stood to the side, his complexion much better than before.

He had received news that his son was still alive, which made him trust the Targaryen's abilities even more.

Wilkins suddenly looked at Picquery and asked in a low voice:

"What happened to the witch who always followed the Targaryen?"

"Sir, she and Tina flew into the depths of the Atlantic Ocean," Picquery said.

"I sent Auror to protect them, but they were riding on Swooping Evil, which were too fast, and now they've disappeared."

Wilkins frowned; this feeling of being completely out of control was making him very irritable.

It would be better to just give me a quick death.

The thought had barely formed in his mind when, as the "flag Prince," he stumbled and nearly fell to the ground.

It turned out that the entire Liberty Island was trembling, as if an earthquake had occurred.

He suddenly turned his head to look at the sea, and froze.

In an instant, not only him, but all the Auror who were casting spells widened their eyes and froze in place.

A basin of water suddenly appeared on the once calm surface of the Atlantic Ocean.

The waterline in the center of the basin is dropping sharply, as if there is an outlet on the seabed, rapidly expelling the water.

If someone is underwater, they will find:

That's not an outlet... but rather a region on the seabed where seawater instantly vaporized, causing a bubble about a kilometer in diameter to form.

The bubble rose rapidly, eventually reaching the surface, and the cavity it created caused the surrounding seawater to quickly fill in.

That's why a huge depression appeared.

But this is not the end; it is just the beginning.

The scattered and chaotic surging magical power flowed from the seabed all the way to the surface, instantly causing the waves to rise into the air.

The effect of this outburst was... as if half the ocean had jumped up.

For the onlookers, everything seemed to stand still at that moment; all that remained before their eyes was the towering waves.

Only then did the booming sound of water finally reach the wizard's ears.

There were also explosions caused by rampant magic.

The release of that power created a unique magical flow field effect.

This magical field effect causes hydrogen and oxygen in the air to continuously decompose, generating large amounts of oxygen and hydrogen.

The power of the Obscurus explosion increased the vaporization of the surrounding seawater, and then more water vapor joined the reaction.

This cycle repeats endlessly, so visually, the fire and explosions begin to increase and amplify on their own.

From a distance, the scene looks as if someone has detonated a Tsar Bomba on the seabed!

But this was not the end. A colossal wave, tens of meters high, appeared on the sea surface, as if a chasm had been drawn between heaven and earth.

The Auror gathered on the beach were all dumbfounded.

Wilkins swallowed hard; he finally understood... why the Targaryen had sent them here to defend.

It turns out he moved the location of the Obscurus explosion to the depths of the ocean!

Wilkins' hands trembled uncontrollably, and he was overwhelmed with mixed emotions of sorrow and joy.

If the Obscurus were to explode in the Magic Building, the entire New York would be wiped out instantly.

The fact that it erupted in the ocean is already a good outcome; at least there's still a chance of survival.

But this kind of tsunami is still beyond their ability to withstand.

He spoke as if he were rapping, rattling off a string of beautiful words starting with F before shouting:

"Stop the tsunami! All Auror, use magic to hold it back and minimize Muggle casualties!!"

The Auror linked their magical shields together to form a defensive wall, which collided with the tsunami, creating towering waves.

But it simply couldn't stop the impact of such immense potential energy.

The foremost magical shield shattered at the slightest touch; its destructive power was as fragile as paper.

The wizards all Apparition, continuing to construct multiple layers of magical defense.

However, the famous Statue of Statue of Liberty, located on Liberty Island, suffered the consequences.

A wave tens of meters high swept in, instantly crushing her; her head separated from her body and fell into the sea.

The tsunami was unstoppable, carrying giant waves that continued to flood the city of New York.

The Statue of Liberty like a human weapon, its scattered body crashing into buildings with tremendous kinetic energy.

The skyscraper was smashed open, and debris kept rolling into the sea, creating huge waves.

The defensive system built by the Auror was also instantly destroyed.

"Use fire!" Wilkins screamed.

Rows of magical flames shot out, and the high temperature caused a large amount of seawater to evaporate.

For a moment, the whole of New York seemed to be shrouded in a circular white curtain.

Atlantic Ocean,

A Magical Creatures flew low over the sea.

It resembles a giant butterfly with a pair of skeletal wings; its appearance is terrifying, yet it possesses a strange beauty.

Swooping Evil!

Four wizards sat on the massive back of the Swooping Evil.

They are Tina, Hermione, and... William and Mera, who successfully escaped the Chamber of Secrets.

William lay on the Swooping Evil to rest, looking up at the sky.

Beside his feet was a Vanishing Cabinet.

That's right, although he couldn't Apparition inside the Magical Congress, he cleverly escaped using the Vanishing Cabinet.

This is also what gave him the confidence to venture deep into the Magical Congress and stop Graves.

At that time, he took Mera and jumped into the potion of death.

Before falling into the water, he used Bubble-Head Charm to cover his entire body, which briefly protected him from the corrosive effects of the medicine.

Then, Graves's body was found underwater.

By then, the body had been completely decomposed and Obscurus to explode.

William used a Vanishing Cabinet to transfer the Obscurus.

He also had Hermione drop a Vanishing Cabinet into the Atlantic Ocean beforehand.

This is also why Obscurus explosions sometimes occur on the seabed.

William then led Mera through another Vanishing Cabinet to Hermione's side.

Fortunately, I bought a lot of Vanishing Cabinet before coming to the United States, otherwise the whole situation would have been really tricky.

So, this is one of the four major heavy industries that's a big spender... It's really tempting!

Hermione was sitting next to William, holding ingredients in her hands, showing off her "superb" United Kingdom culinary skills.

The aftershocks of the Obscurus explosion caused the seawater to boil, and many marine creatures were instantly cooked.

She found a lot of top-quality ingredients with ease.

They left Newt's house without having dinner tonight... Now that they've saved New York, they're really hungry and can have a barbecue.

Hermione tore off pieces of shark meat and handed them to William.

As for Mera, she still Obscurus in her body and had fallen into a coma again.

Hermione also took a bite and thought it tasted pretty good.

She felt satisfied, raised her head, and said softly to William:

"Let's go home as soon as possible; United States is too unsafe."

William, who was wolfing down his food nearby, nodded in agreement.

One is black, that's for sure!

United States is so dangerous! I just came here and ran into this kind of terrible thing... and now I'm forced to save New York!

He came here from the United Kingdom to keep an eye on Tom and, incidentally, to stay away from the Wizarding Wars... Was it easy for him?!

Tina, an elderly woman who was eating grilled octopus, almost choked when she heard their Dialogue.

Because of Newt, she was quite knowledgeable.

Some people dismiss the title "walking City Destroyers" as a slander.

But after what happened that night, she completely agreed with this statement.

The dangerous ones are clearly you two, young couple... okay?!
