I Can Destroy Planets with My Psychokinesis-Chapter 377. Epic Battle

Before the drones had even noticed, tourists on Freedom Island were already nearly crashing the 911 phone lines.

At first, when the Statue of Liberty began to creak and groan, people didn’t pay much attention, thinking it was just the copper statue aging under the sea breeze.

But as time passed, the grating noise of twisting metal grew louder, and was it coming from inside the statue? Bits and pieces began to fall off.

"The Statue of Liberty seems to be collapsing!"

"Has its service life reached its limit?"

People speculated, but the truth was the exact opposite—the statue was becoming newer and newer.

Rust marks on its surface vanished at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a vague cyan glow enveloped its massive body!

This was the 2 billion units of Wish Power stored in the statue, transforming its body.

Originally, this spiritual power of Wish Power couldn’t interfere with reality and would slowly dissipate over time, leaving the statue to decay in its mortal iron form.

But with Lu Li’s guidance, the spirit finally interfered with reality.

The rust faded, the cyan light shone, the physical transformation was completed, and suddenly, a pale blue orb of light ignited in the statue’s eye sockets.

Two Soul Emergence Divine Souls activated a rudimentary consciousness system, and this 40-meter-tall giant puppet was fully awakened, starting to move with a rattle.

She glanced at the torch in her right hand and the book in her left before leaping down from the pedestal.

With a dull, thunderous boom, her 200-plus-ton weight made the entire island tremble.

"Oh God, the Statue of Liberty has come to life!"

"Call the 911!!"

People shouted and scrambled to take videos and call the emergency services.

Ignoring the commotion, the Statue of Liberty simply strode into the sea with giant footsteps.

Her direction was unmistakably... Manhattan!

The central business district of New York and the Star Alliance Country, home to the densest cluster of skyscrapers in the world.

Times Square, the Empire State Building, Wall Street, United Nations Headquarters, and more, all were located there.

A 15-story-tall metal goddess, with thundering steps crossing the sea, was clearly on a mission of demolition!

In no time, drones belonging to internet celebrities and independent media captured the unbelievable scene of the statue striding through the ocean, broadcasting it online.

The world’s attention was already focused here, and there was an instant uproar—

"The Statue of Liberty turned into... a Mecha!?"

"It must be that mutant’s doing!"

"Damn it! What has he done to our national symbol!"

It was obvious who had caused this, instantly attracting all the attention.

And the Statue of Liberty was clearly headed to wreck Manhattan, gripping the balls of the Star Alliance Country people.

Lu Li’s translucent "Spiritual Grain" was naturally ignored.

He infused his spirit, extracted the Spirit Vein, and the "Heart Image" steadily condensed.

Sensing the Statue of Liberty he had awakened, Lu Li instantly made a judgment:

"Physical strength comparable to a Sixth Grade Magic Artifact, incapable of speech." novelbuddy-cσ๓

Although it had been under sacrificial refinement for over a century, many of the Wish Power had been dissipated and wasted over the years.

More importantly, the statue was huge, and the consumption of transformation naturally increased.

billion units of Wish Power could only bring it up to the Sixth Grade level.

"Sixth Grade is already equivalent to hard alloy, strong enough to stir up trouble, and buy some time."

"Kunlun Mirror, replenish all the Wish Power to her."

At Lu Li’s command, the Treasure Realm aimed at the Statue of Liberty, shooting out brilliant golden light to transfer over.

This was the stored Wish Power, invisible to the eyes of mortal beings, not risking exposure.

With this energy, the Statue of Liberty gained an even more surging force, parting the waist-high seawater as she charged toward Manhattan.

But the Star Alliance Country was not without its own defenses.

Before Lu Li’s declaration of attack, New York, such a crucial city, had already been fortified with military presence.

At that moment, tanks and self-propelled guns rolled onto the streets, heading towards the shoreline.

New unmanned tanks were also driven to the shore to prepare to intercept the resurrected goddess.

But the first to strike were still the fighters in the sky.

Six F-35s, along with six Super Hornets, streaked across the sky simultaneously, releasing "Little Bull" air-to-ground missiles and "Fishhook" anti-ship missiles.

Twelve missiles with long trails of smoke came hurling towards her, as the Statue of Liberty swung her torch and book to shield herself.

Boom boom boom, a series of violent explosions engulfed the Statue of Liberty.

When the smoke cleared, the goddess’s torch and book were pockmarked and her body slightly damaged.

These damages healed at a visible rate, but the officers in the combat conference room were hugely elated!

The military forces could injure this monster! That was enough!

Bear in mind that the missile launch by the aircraft was just a probing attack; the full firepower was yet to be unleashed!

The Statue of Liberty then strode through the waters, taking a few more steps, with only 2 kilometers separating her from Manhattan.

On the shore at "Bay Park," the armored units had already been deployed.

A total of 50 tanks were lined up, their main guns firing loudly!

Amidst the deafening sound of artillery, a barrage of 120mm caliber shells howled towards her.

These were the main weapons of modern tanks, with a penetration depth of over 600mm on homogeneous armor.

Tough as the Statue of Liberty was, she couldn’t withstand the barrage, and her body was blasted with basin-sized craters.

She protected her head with the torch and shielded her chest with the book, picking up her pace with long strides and boldly advancing through the artillery fire toward the shore.

As the distance closed, and at a range of 1 kilometer, she came into the firing range of the unmanned tanks.

Hundreds of 30mm caliber rotary cannons fired simultaneously, spitting out streams of fire, unleashing a tremendous curtain of bullets.

Bullet holes burst open continuously on the Statue of Liberty’s body, spewing large sparks, covering her with injuries all over.

Planes overhead also launched missiles, blasting the goddess, causing her to stagger.

However, 1 kilometer’s distance isn’t considered too far, and the damaged Statue of Liberty ultimately made it through.

Standing fifteen stories high, the metal giant overshadowed the tanks, which barely seemed the size of shoes in comparison, creating an immense feeling of oppression.

Yet not a single tank crew retreated, they just kept on fiercely firing.

Behind Bay Park was Wall Street, guarded by the elite of the elite, whose fighting spirit was exceptionally unyielding.

The Statue of Liberty didn’t hold back, and while still not completely out of the sea, swung her torch—which was larger than a truck—smashing an M1A1 tank to pieces.

Climbing onto the shore under the barrage, the goddess raised her large foot and delivered one swift kick, catapulting another tank into the air, smashing it against another ally, both toppling over.

At the same time, she herself was battered by various shells, her skin ripped apart with sparks flying in all directions.

This was akin to a scene straight out of a sci-fi movie where the military combats a monster, a thrilling spectacle for people across the globe.

Apart from the spectators, professionals were absolutely stunned!

"What on earth is the principle behind this? What kind of energy powers it?"

The Statue of Liberty, standing 40 meters tall and weighing 225 tons, astonishingly came to life and fought flexibly!

It was completely, thoroughly unscientific—or rather, a science yet to be understood.

Fang Qian was equally amazed!

She controlled the drone to hover and film, trying her best to record the data.

She was far from the only one doing this at the moment; many shared the same goal, seeking to unearth the secrets of the transcendent.

Meanwhile, Academician Liu Jiang in Xia Country watched the footage being transmitted back and heaved a sigh of relief:

"This Statue of Liberty has nothing to do with me anymore..."

As the designer of the Terminator, he had repeated the design and manufacturing process well over a hundred times in the past month, punishing labor indeed.

The current activity of the Statue of Liberty was proof in itself that this was not science, or at least not science that was understood.

Yet Lu Li, the one who had made all of this possible, had not yet made an appearance, which couldn’t help but arouse suspicion...

Just as people’s attention began to shift, the Statue of Liberty, despite being bombarded by a round of artillery fire, dragged her battered body and charged furiously into the city!

"Stop her! Stop her!!!"

Every officer, every high-ranking official, screamed simultaneously!

The world’s attention was pulled back once more.
