At the Oa Pan-Stellar Domain Alliance's position, vast legions of every kind stood ready, blotting out this stretch of the universe. Their armies stood in the void, their numbers stretching beyond any living creature's field of vision.
The many Stellar-class powerhouses watched with gleaming eyes, eagerly awaiting New Krypton's arrival.
The Guardians of the Universe stared gravely at the expanse of nothingness ahead of the Oa Star System.
