A forty-eight-meter-tall, nine-thousand-four-hundred-ton steel body free-fell from an altitude of thirty thousand meters, hurtling like a meteor toward the center of Glacier Academy's plaza.
Its gravity control system only activated to decelerate in the final hundred meters, but even so, the impact of its landing blasted the plaza into a massive crater hundreds of meters in diameter.
BOOM!!!
The shockwave kicked up a circular "white wall" along the ground—the product of air, compressed to its limit, expanding in an instant.
Starting from the point of impact, the plaza's stone tiles buckled outward and shattered at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Fountains exploded. Statues were sent flying. The entire facade of the nearest academic building collapsed inward under the blast wave, crumpling like a ball of paper.
The entire plaza's foundation spiderwebbed with cracks from the single blow. The fissures extended eight hundred meters out, tearing several low-rise buildings in half.
