The Abacus Clattered Loudly

In the cosmos, a fleet sailed through space. Starlight scattered across its hulls, casting the distinctive sheen of metal. From the style of the warships, it was easy to tell that this fleet belonged to the Holy Womb Confederation.

On the flagship's bridge, a group of unusual intelligent beings sat together. They broadly resembled octopuses, with a head and a mass of tentacles beneath it. However, they were not aquatic creatures. Their bodily fluids contained a high concentration of sulfuric acid.

"Ultimately, the Supremes are still stronger," one royal said.

The royal family had been closely following the situation in the Inari Radiance Nation, the main battlefield between the Coordination Council and the Amoeba.
