While Alexander was still pondering how to make his grand appearance amidst the crowd blocking his gate, something extraordinary was unfolding at the Astronomical and Meteorological Bureau.
---
"Director! It's bad news! According to satellite data, a massive meteorite capable of destroying an entire city has suddenly appeared in the planet's orbit. It's already passed through the atmosphere and is heading straight for City H!"
"What?!" The director froze in disbelief.
This couldn't be happening. No meteoroid activity had been reported recently. How could a meteorite, large enough to destroy a city, suddenly appear without warning? This wasn't just a scientific anomaly—it was a full-blown disaster!
He slumped back into his chair, his voice trembling as he muttered to himself, "I thought I was doing my job right…"
"Director! What are your orders?!"
"What else? Alert the residents of City H! Evacuate the area immediately!"
"Yes, sir!"
The staff member bolted out of the room, leaving the director staring blankly at his desk, weighed down by the enormity of the situation.

Meanwhile, in City H, the streets were packed. After yesterday's shocking event of anime characters descending into the world, even more people had flocked to the city, hoping for a glimpse of something extraordinary.
"I heard you can often see anime characters here!"
"Of course! Didn't you watch the livestream? They're all real anime characters!"
"Some brave fans even went to Alexander's house to block his gate. I wish I could go too."
"Don't bother. Who knows what kind of person Alexander is? What if he's got a terrible temper?"
The crowd buzzed with chatter about Alexander and the descendants. Little did they know, a unique "descendant" was about to make an entrance—not far from where they stood.

The massive meteorite.
Straight from the world of 'One Punch Man'!
Yes, this wasn't some random space rock hurtling toward Earth. This was 'the' meteorite—the one that nearly obliterated a city in the 'One Punch Man' verse, before being smashed into fragments by Saitama's legendary punch.
Now, this same meteorite was streaking through the sky, catching the attention of the crowd below.
"Wow! Look at that! Is it a shooting star?"
"It really is! Quick, make a wish!"
"God bless! Please help me find a girlfriend!"
"Meteorite magic! I need 100 points on my finals!"
"Gods above, if I could just meet my 'waifu' Hatsune Miku while I'm here in City H!"
All around, people began closing their eyes, whispering their wishes to the meteorite as though it were a cosmic blessing. Even Hanarin, who was livestreaming near Alexander's gate, closed her eyes and fervently wished, '"I must meet Alexander!"'
Her determination was unwavering.
For many, making a wish on a "shooting star" was the pinnacle of romance. As they marveled at the celestial sight, a new noise broke through their dreamy haze—a sharp, mechanical broadcast echoing across the sky.
"Alert! Alert! A massive meteorite is about to strike City H! It is predicted to cause catastrophic destruction. All residents of City H are advised to evacuate immediately in an orderly manner!"
"ALERT! ALERT!"
The blaring announcement echoed through the city, snapping the people who were making wishes out of their daze.
'Make a wish? Forget about making a wish!'
Panic set in as the grim reality dawned—this wasn't a romantic shooting star; it was the harbinger of destruction.
"Meteorite!!!"
A young man was the first to react, shouting in terror, "Run! RUN!"
His words jolted everyone into action.
In a heartbeat, chaos erupted. People scattered in all directions, desperate to flee the impending disaster. City H became a frantic blur of movement.
'Who wants to die?'
'No one wants to die!'
The streets filled with terrified crowds. In their rush to escape, the city's infrastructure became a trap rather than a pathway. Roads, staircases, and subway stations were clogged with people. Escape routes turned into bottlenecks as the panic grew.
Shoulder-to-shoulder ceased being a metaphor; it became reality.
"Move! Don't block the way! Do you want to die here?!"
"My child! My child! Where's my baby?!"
"Honey! Where are you going? Don't leave me behind!"
Cries, curses, and screams filled the air, blending into a cacophony of despair. But how could anyone outrun a meteorite? In just a few minutes, the enormous rock would strike, leaving little chance for escape.

At Alexander's Residence
"Hanarin, run!" someone shouted.
But Hanarin, who had been livestreaming near Alexander's gate, was paralyzed with fear. She had been knocked to the ground by a panicked passerby, and her streaming equipment lay shattered beside her.
She didn't bother trying to pick it up. Her eyes were glued to the chaos unfolding around her.
On her livestream, the chat was flooded with a single, repeated word:
RUN!
But Hanarin couldn't move.
Her surroundings had transformed into a nightmare—chaos, screams, and the shadow of destruction looming ever closer. The streets had become hell itself.

On Alexander's Rooftop
Alexander, still standing on the roof, had been deep in thought about how to make his grand entrance. But the sight of the massive meteorite drawing closer froze him in his tracks.
His gaze locked on the fiery rock hurtling toward the city. A single thought crossed his mind:
'"Damn it! System! Did you plan this just to make my appearance more dramatic? This is overkill!"'
Even for a grand entrance, this was 'way' over the top!
