A hyper-detailed , photo-realistic futuristic metropolis at night , bathed in an eerie , pulsating crimson glow that casts long , jagged shadows across the cyberpunk skyline. The **Empire State Building** dominates the foreground , its art deco spire crackling with energy as a **colossal , jagged red lightning bolt** slams into its peak , illuminating the surrounding skyscrapers in a fiery , neon-reflective haze. The lightning’s electric tendrils snake down the building’s facade , fracturing into glitch-like distortions that warp the architecture into a surreal , digital nightmare—half-real , half-corrupted data stream. In the distance , a **secondary forked red lightning strike** tears through the horizon , hitting a towering , blade-like skyscraper , its impact rippling through the atmosphere like a visual echo. The city below is a labyrinth of **holographic billboards , flickering neon signs in Cyrillic and Kanji , and floating drone traffic** , all glitching intermittently as if caught in a malfunctioning simulation. Rain streaks the air , refracting the red light into bloody , pixelated smears , while **floating debris—shards of glass , fractured metal panels , and shattered holograms—drift lazily in the wind** , adding to the chaotic , dystopian aesthetic. The **glitch art** effect is pronounced: sections of the cityscape **flicker , stutter , and dissolve** into RGB noise , with **scan lines , datamoshing artifacts , and VHS-style distortion** warping the edges of buildings and streets. The lightning itself seems to **corrupt the air** , leaving behind trails of **digital static and fragmented code** that briefly overlay the scene like a broken HUD. The atmosphere is **oppressive yet hypnotic**—a fusion of **cyberpunk grit and digital decay** , where reality feels unstable , as if the city is on the verge of collapsing into a **black hole of glitching data**. The composition is **cinematic and immersive** , with a **deep depth of field** that draws the eye from the lightning-struck Empire State Building to the storm-wracked horizon , where the second strike pulses like a dying heartbeat. **Ultra-HD , 8K resolution , hyper-realistic textures , volumetric lighting , and atmospheric haze** enhance the surreal , dystopian grandeur. ,
