According to the monster's demands, it needs human mental anguish and madness as nourishment to aid its growth.

Only by interacting with more mentally unstable individuals and absorbing that energy can it grow into its complete form.

After some contemplation, Lei Hong delegated this matter to the United States and relocated the monster from the South Pacific to New York.

Conveniently hidden and nurtured beneath the Statue of Liberty.

For over a hundred years, while the monster resided deep within the pedestal, the United States would daily send people to capture various homeless individuals and loners.

Sending them into the pedestal to be tormented by this monster.

The monster would drive these people mad using various methods, absorbing their mental energy and simultaneously treating them as food.

This heinous activity has been going on for over a hundred years, unnoticed by anyone.

And today, Lei Hong plans to verify the results of the monster's absorption over these hundred years.

"You're still alive!"

The monster's voice rang in Lei Hong's mind, sounding somewhat surprised.

Upon hearing this, Lei Hong frowned instantly: "You're not trying to deceive me, are you? You have no complete form; you simply want to escape my control after I die of old age."

"No, no, no, how could I? I really have a complete form, but this time is entirely insufficient; for a being like me, this time is way too brief."

Lei Hong's entire body quaked, akin to rolling thunder.

"But I can't wait any longer. I need a rival; otherwise, this planet is dreadfully boring to me,

Fight me, and if you can't defeat me after over a hundred years, your complete form is hardly worth anticipating."

Lei Hong coldly said, watching the monster rise from the pool.

The monster's six eyes hesitated, recalling the day it awoke in the depths of the South Pacific and encountered Lei Hong.

It was utterly no match for him, even though over the past hundred years, with the assistance of the United States, it has absorbed much mad mental energy.

It still couldn't confidently claim it could rival Lei Hong.

Simply because this human was incredibly powerful, and his mental willpower is exceedingly firm.

No matter how the monster attempted to use mental transmission to contact him, Lei Hong remained unmoved, showing no change whatsoever.

Engaging others in physical combat was not the monster's forte.

But at this moment, it had little choice.

Bang!

The monster swung a palm, its massive claw looming over Lei Hong.

The United States had once conducted a test, sending the largest African elephant into the depths of the pedestal for the monster to consume.

They installed numerous cameras on the elephant, hoping to gauge the monster's strength based on the elephant's level of resistance.

Unexpectedly, the elephant couldn't withstand even a single strike from the monster's claw, instantly smashed into bits.

It showed just how powerful this monster was.

Yet, in the face of the monster's attack, Lei Hong remained calm, showing slight disappointment in his eyes.

"Didn't expect after all these years, you haven't changed at all, still as useless as back then."

Blue arcs of electricity burst from Lei Hong's arm as he unleashed a punch.

Furious electricity surged alongside his fist, piercing through the monster's palm and striking its body.

"If that's the case, then you must die."

Lei Hong raised both arms, massive streams of blue electricity erupted all over his body, enveloping him in electricity.

Under the monster's frightened gaze, Lei Hong's fists pummeled its body.

High voltages exceeding a million volts covered the monster's body, charring, smoking, and eventually carbonizing it.

Boom!

The monster's massive body fell into the foul-smelling pool, splashing plenty of waves and bones.

With a single strike of his palm, Lei Hong sent all the approaching filth back.

Looking at the dead monster's corpse, Lei Hong turned away expressionlessly.

However, compared to before he arrived, his silhouette inexplicably appeared lonelier.

After nurturing a rival for over a hundred years, it still couldn't stand up to him.

To cultivate a genuine opponent, Lei Hong specifically had a child with a robust 300-pound female Martial Artist who bore his genes.

No matter how Lei Hong taught and trained, that child was never his opponent.

This world began giving Lei Hong a sense of loneliness.

In order to break through and find a way to leave this world, he had been diligently cultivating for years.

Indeed, staying on Bikini Atoll for 77 years wasn't due to Lei Hong's weariness or desire to hide from the world.

It was because he aimed to challenge his strength once more!

Lei Hong firmly believed there couldn't be only this planet with life in the universe.

Other planets must also harbor life.

The opponent he longed for could very well be found on those planets.

To find these opponents, he had to leave.

Leave this planet!

To achieve that, he needed to possess a body capable of traversing the starry sky.

Everything Lei Hong did over the years was aimed at this goal.

And recently, he felt an intuition.

That the opportunity had arisen, and by seizing this opportunity, he could obtain the key to traversing the starry sky.

At that time, he could leave this planet and venture deep into the universe to seek stronger opponents.
