He continuously increased the temperature of the Heat Vision emanating from his eyes. Simultaneously, he emitted sound waves through his mouth. Starting from low frequencies, Henry gradually increased the frequency, carefully testing which frequency range could suppress the metallic properties of Vibranium.

At a certain point, everything fell into place as if by magic. The small piece of Vibranium in Henry's hand instantly heated up and melted, gathering in his palm, round and red, like a water droplet.

Henry didn't need to deliberately remove the impurities in the rough stone. Once the rough stone was melted into a liquid state, all the impurities that were not part of the Fang Metal floated to the surface.

Henry took out a fine needle from his bag and carefully scraped it. The impurities were immediately removed, leaving only the pure liquid on his hand.

Generally speaking, Vibranium is used by fusing it with other metals to create alloys. Even Wakanda, which possesses Vibranium, uses an alloy, not pure vibranium, in the Black Panther Suit made for their king.

This is because pure rayon is not actually very hard; otherwise, it wouldn't be able to be drawn into fibers. It can only absorb various forms of energy, including the kinetic energy of impacts, and store them between its molecular chains. This characteristic creates the illusion that pure rayon is very hard.

To make Fang Metal truly hard, other metals need to be added to form Vibranium Adamantium one of the materials Fang Metal in the famous Marvel Universe metal, Wolverine's skeleton.

However, what Henry needs to do doesn't need to be extremely hard. Instead, it needs to absorb and then release the special function of counteracting the wave. So there's no need to deliberately use an alloy with certain metallic properties; pure alloy will suffice.

Secondly, not all metals can be smelted with Vibranium. Every alloy formula related to Vibranium is developed with a bit of luck. Henry doesn't have the time to research alloy formulas.

The Super Brain quickly devised a suitable solution. Henry didn't care how hot the pure anodium was in his hands; he simply shaped it like clay. Then, he used a needle to manipulate the still-warm and solidified pure anodium, creating patterns.

These patterns are not just decorations; they are the key to coordinating and suppressing specific brainwave frequencies.

In other words, when a brainwave of a certain frequency comes into contact with the device, its energy is absorbed and transmitted along the pattern, just like a circuit board. This circuit board will then play a role in generating an opposite waveform, which will neutralize and cancel out the brainwave of that specific frequency.

The absorbed energy is converted immediately before being transmitted out. This avoids over-absorption without a release process, which could lead to damage.

Other brainwave frequencies tend to dissipate and are not even effective against intrusion by those with Mind Stone abilities, making their function quite limited.

The first piece Henry completed was shaped like a headband. He blew Freeze Breath from his mouth to quickly cool it down. The only remaining steps were polishing.

Before finishing all the finishing touches, Henry handed Thena the headband, which surprisingly wasn't bad-looking despite its dense pattern. "Try it on and see if it works."

Henry's series of manual operations had already left the three Eternals dumbfounded.

Kingo even leaned his head in front of Henry, looking him over from left to right, and said, "Luckily you're not a fat black guy, or I would have thought you were that guy Phastos."

"Or are you actually Phastos, teaming up with Sprite to trick us? Sprite, dispel your illusion. I've seen through it."

Henry pushed Kingo's face away with one hand and handed the headband to Thena with the other. "Try it, you won't regret it. You know how to use a headband, right? Just put it on."

Thena took the headband but didn't immediately put it on. Instead, she examined it carefully, looking at it from all angles.

Could something that looks completely ordinary really help me?

Amidst such doubt, Thena put on the headband, gathering her platinum blonde hair.

Because it lacks a switch, the function of this Vibranium headband is simply to suppress specific brainwaves. Almost immediately after putting it on, Thena felt the noise in her head completely disappear!

Before her hands were even freed from the headband, she stared wide-eyed in astonishment ahead.

Without looking at anyone in particular, Thena simply wanted to experience the tranquility of the world, instead of enduring a voice chattering in her head and strange images flashing before her eyes.

Seeing Gilgamesh hurriedly asked, "Thena, is the item useful?"

Thena nodded slowly. She gripped the sides of the headband with both hands, pressing it firmly behind her ears, as if reluctant to let go.

The two Eternals jumped up and down with joy, like big boys, waving their arms and cheering. Henry was also pulled up and joined in the fun.

The cheers reached their peak when Henry was even embraced by Gilgamesh and Kingo. They were almost in tears of joy, exclaiming, "Great job, Henry! You did a fantastic job!"

"As expected." Henry picked up the Sound-Absorbing Steel ore that had been placed aside.

I just made a headband, and I probably only used less than one-twentieth of its volume; there's still a lot left.

Henry, of course, couldn't possibly accept all the nearly intact rough stones as his payment. Instead, he said, "We still have plenty of material. Let's make some more as a backup."

"That way we can replace them every day; and we don't have to worry about losing them one day and things going to be terrible. Unless we lose all the supplies today, then there's nothing I can do."

Gilgamesh, of course, only welcomed such opinions and did not object. He hadn't been this happy in a long time, so he forgot to hold back and patted Henry's back so hard it made a loud thud.

But when he realized what he had done, he was more surprised than regret that Henry had taken those blows without any real effort, and was still standing as if nothing had happened.

Henry, of course, wasn't completely unaware. He smiled wryly and said, "Gilgamesh, hold back. If it were an ordinary person, you would have sent them flying by now."

"Don't worry. If anyone tries to knock you out, just tell me, and I'll go and knock them out first," Gilgamesh assured him, patting his arm, which was as thick as an elephant's leg.

Henry ignored the two Eternals and sat back down on the ground, asking Thena, "What kind of jewelry do you like? Do you prefer animal or plant designs? Do you like flowers?"

"Oh, and that headband needs to be polished. So you'll have to bring it back to me, don't break it."

Thena shrank back slightly, seemingly reluctant to hand over the item.

Henry said helplessly, "Don't worry, I'll make a replacement first so you can use it. I'll bring the headband back to finish the job."

"Can you do anything?" Thena asked.

"I can only make things I've seen, not just anything. If you ask me to make a flower that only grows in your hometown, of course I can't. Unless you can tell me what that flower looks like first."

Henry took out his sketchbook and quickly sketched out designs for some jewelry: headbands, hair clips, earrings, studs, nose rings, lip rings, eyebrow rings, eyebrow studs, and even a few pairs of glasses.

On a whim, Henry drew a sketch of Thena. He then added square-framed glasses, rather plain pearl earrings, and her hair tied up, making her look like a stern female boss or teacher.

Suddenly, Kingo popped out from behind, hooking his arm around Henry's shoulder. He said slyly, "You wouldn't happen to like this type of woman, the ascetic type, would you?"

"I like it?" Henry rubbed his beardless chin, looked at his painting carefully, and then looked at the real person in front of him. "Maybe I like it. Don't you think Tina's temperament is suitable for such a dress?"

The Eternals Goddess of War merely glanced at Henry's sketchbook and tossed out a curt, "Not bad." Her expression was unreadable.
