These alloy rods intertwined, transforming into a cage resembling a birdcage.

Spirit Telekinesis also possesses the ability to control matter.

If spirit telekinesis is too powerful, it can shape matter.

For example, twisting rebar, bending metal spoons, turning a car into a ball of iron, etc.

Roy Sage's spirit telekinesis at this moment is clearly much stronger than those actions; what he's shaping is alloy.

Jostar waved his hand, and the already-metalized palm now looked like the sharpest alloy knife.

He easily cut the cage, leaping out to attack Roy Sage.

Spiritual Mind Masters are more adept at long-range combat. If dragged out, Super Martial Artists have no advantage.

So, to defeat Roy Sage and claim the second spot, Jostar must act quickly, close in, and break the opponent's spirit telekinesis.

Capture the king first.

"I didn't expect Jostar's cell energy mutation to affect the metals around his body..."

Seeing Jostar showcasing his prowess on the platform, Ponken Wilson's eyes were filled with undisguised envy.

Witnessing Jostar's actions firsthand, he realized the vast difference in having cell energy mutation as a super martial artist.

This time at the Kukulkan ruins, Ponken Wilson's greatest aim is to find the temple Jostar spoke of, and see if he can comprehend the stone tablet within to achieve cell energy mutation.

Wang Longhu watched Jostar's superpower with some amusement, but it was just amusement.

The difference in cell energy mutation wasn't enough to make him vigilant.

Roy Sage's spirit telekinesis seemed too immature in Wang Longhu's eyes.

If he were to use spirit telekinesis against Jostar, Wang Longhu could crush Jostar in an instant.

The duel between these two holds no interest for Wang Longhu.

Time would be better spent on creating his secret technique.

After greeting Ponken Wilson, Wang Longhu left, returning to the East District prison to continue his musings.

...

New York, Liberty Island.

"Mr. Lei Hong, during the 77 years you stayed on Bikinini Island, New York has developed remarkably; the beauty is indeed breathtaking."

In the park, Lei Hong strolled, followed by the five-star general who previously monitored him on the destroyer.

Lei Hong was both feared and loathed by the Great Federation.

His power as a single entity was terrifying and overwhelming.

Even the nuclear tests on Bikini Island couldn't harm him.

Let alone the other weapons of the Federation, which is why they had to sign a peace and friendship agreement with him.

This agreement sounds nice, but in reality, its contents are truly humiliating.

The gist is that Lei Hong must not harm the Great Federation, and in return, the Federation places his status at the highest level.

It means if Lei Hong demands the Federation migrate to the African continent, they must comply.

For 77 years, Lei Hong stayed quietly on Bikinini Island, giving the Great Federation a long period of peace.

But now, this 'strongest being on the surface' has begun to stir.

He returned to New York, this world-renowned metropolis.

This made the entire Great Federation anxious, fearing that a moment of displeasure could lead to irrevocable actions.

In a place like New York, once Lei Hong decides to cause destruction, the Federation can't do anything to stop him.

Knowing that even a nuclear blast is ineffective against Lei Hong, what could they possibly do?

"I had you secretly modify the internal structure of the Statue of Liberty according to my design, right?"

Looking at the towering Statue of Liberty, Lei Hong asked without turning back.

The five-star general instantly felt as if he had fallen into an icy pit, shivering all over. He nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, everything was secretly altered according to your instructions, Mr. Lei Hong, with precision applied to every change."

"Good, there's nothing else you need to do now. Go back, and make sure your people don't follow me anymore."

As soon as his words fell, Lei Hong's figure vanished into thin air, as if he had teleported.

Upon witnessing Lei Hong's departure, the five-star general finally exhaled heavily.

Accompanying Lei Hong back from Bikinini Island to New York was stressful and nerve-racking.

He feared that any wrong move would lead to instant execution by Lei Hong.

Lei Hong's presence in history is extensive, and his identity information is classified as the highest secret in the Federation.

There are only a few in the entire Federation who can access the files.

Even when he was born, records of Lei Hong's activities in North America existed.

Reportedly, as early as 1773, Lei Hong was already a part of North America's historical narrative.

His name circulates throughout North American history, like that of an immortal.

The Statue of Liberty's construction also has its hidden ties with Lei Hong.

In 1876, when construction began, Lei Hong vetoed certain interior designs of the Statue.

He provided his design plans to the Federation, urging them to revise halfway.
