After Scarface, acting as New Krypton's envoy, left the Oa Star Pan-Stellar Domain Alliance's meeting grounds, both the Oa Star Pan-Stellar Domain Alliance and New Krypton stepped up their war preparations.
The Oa Star Pan-Stellar Domain Alliance also suspended its usual tactics of wearing down New Krypton's forces.
There was little point in further attrition now. If they sent too few people, they would be surrounded and killed like Lobo Rob. They no longer did such things.
The Oa Star Pan-Stellar Domain Alliance began using the Green Lantern Corps to open passages throughout the universe and summon all its stellar-level powerhouses.
Though they were members of the Oa Star Pan-Stellar Domain Alliance, many stellar-level powerhouses had never personally come to Oa Star.
The Guardians of the Universe knew where most stellar-level powerhouses were. They had partly recruited them, partly bound them with benefits, and partly displayed the number of stellar-level powerhouses among the Guardians of the Universe, gathering figures of the same rank together to form the Oa Star Pan-Stellar Domain Alliance.
Most stellar-level powerhouses attended meetings convened by the Guardians of the Universe through projections. The stellar-level powerhouses were wary of the Guardians of the Universe, while the Guardians of the Universe were also somewhat wary of an alliance among so many stellar-level powerhouses. Fearing that the great ship of the Oa Star Pan-Stellar Domain Alliance would lose control, they only allowed most of them to have their representative stellar-level factions stationed in designated territories on their behalf.
But now that the Emperor of New Krypton had sent an envoy to demand their surrender, they had no choice but to summon all the stellar-level powerhouses and prepare for a hard battle.
In Oa Star's star system, green-ring passages opened, extending in every direction toward all corners of the universe.
