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.
