The enormous metal cover encasing the neutron star rapidly contracted, turning into a semicircular support beneath it.
Half of the dazzling celestial body was revealed.
From afar, it looked like a container holding a pearl.
This was different from opening only a small gap for forging; the heat released was countless times greater.
Within a radius of a hundred thousand li, the temperature immediately surged.
No wonder the repairmen had put on heat-resistant armor beforehand.
Apocalypse and Hela were not afraid of it. They merely felt slightly warm, and they could raise protective barriers at any time to block out the heat.
The dwarven repairman muttered a string of words at the neutron star, sounding like an incantation, yet also like a conversation with it.
Before long, the neutron star began spinning violently. The enormous celestial body actually completed several thousand rotations per second.
An indescribable void energy emerged from within the neutron star and spread through the Soul World into the depths of space.
Combined with the neutron star's rotation, it could instantly scan countless starfields.
Hela seemed to have no reaction to this energy, but Apocalypse could clearly sense its direction.
With the neutron star as its center, it issued an indiscriminate summons in every direction across the void.
Soon, several mental fluctuations were transmitted back.
After briefly distinguishing them, the dwarven repairman passed them over.
Clearly, those responding were known divine artifacts, not ones newly forged after Thanos abducted the dwarves.
Not long afterward, the space around the neutron star shook again.
A mental fluctuation hundreds or thousands of times stronger than the neutron star's echoed back from the void, startling the repairman into stumbling several heavy steps away from the control console.
He feared being struck by a backlash from that mental fluctuation.
"How is that
