Si and Perpetuity had completed the deployment across the star systems in the regions under their charge.
Much like the region inhabited by the Yoya, Perpetuity and the others had encountered one of the races of the gods. This race occupied several million star systems, which were also the undeployed star systems remaining within Perpetuity and the others' assigned regions.
Naturally, Perpetuity and the others could not easily give up these remaining star systems. After all, they numbered in the millions. The mass of a million stars was no trivial amount.

But it had to be silent, swift as light, and wipe out the targets before they even understood what was happening, without letting any word leak out.
Therefore, after completing their deployment, Perpetuity and the others began concealing their clusters and secretly gathering intelligence on the races of the gods within their assigned regions.
"The Melo race has an average body size of eighty-five meters and no fixed appearance. Its material core consists of an eyeball and a nerve fiber. By using the spirit domain, it controls a mass of plasma as a shell throughout its life, protecting the Melo race's fragile material core..."
