A colossal futuristic cybernetic mech, reminiscent of an Evangelion, towers ominously over a bustling city street, its head unleashing a broad, radiant laser beam. Below, a panicked crowd scatters, screams echoing amidst the chaos of explosions and swirling dust and smoke. The scene captures a "War of the Worlds" intensity, depicted in cinematic hyper realism with meticulous detail and vibrant colors. Smooth gradients and high contrast accentuate the mayhem, reminiscent of artwork by Craig Mullins and evoking the atmospheric lighting of Thomas Kinkade.
