At Duanmu Huai's command, several Night Raven Black Stars descended from the sky, surrounding the entire massive machine. At the same time, the huge machine seemed to sense something as well. The metal components on its body rapidly launched themselves into the air, flying toward the Night Raven Black Stars in all directions!
However, the next moment, a shocking scene unfolded.
Before those components, which filled the sky like driving rain, could strike the Night Raven Black Stars, they suddenly stopped in midair as if they had encountered some sort of obstacle. Then they clattered down onto the ground.

As he said this, Duanmu Huai sighed silently to himself. Reality Stabilizing Anchors were excellent things. If possible, he really wanted to make one as large as an interstellar space station. It would be best if he could place one in every star system. After all, Reality Stabilizing Anchors could stabilize reality.
