Which makes it the perfect star to cover with a Dyson sphere. What better way to flex on your interstellar neighbors than by harnessing one of the most powerful

  I think the point being made is the size of it. To make it into a Dyson sphere would require encasing a star that, if centered on Sol, would consume at least the inner 4 planets if not Jupiter as well. It's 950 times the size of our own star and one of the largest in the known universe. There would surely be easier supernova-capturing flexes

    "Four intergalactical-capable factions are trying to decide who holds the most power. In an average galaxy in a pretty anonymous corner of the universe one faction detects a unprecedented large star-about-to-go-nova and races to capture the imminent energy surge of a sort the universe hasn't experienced yet. Or will the galaxy implode before they have aligned it all." A back cover blurb I wouldn't mind picking up! If something like this is already written I want to know.
