The capital warship of the decimated abyssal fleet slowly propelled itself toward the world serpent. It went as slowly as possible while also discovering everything it had including shields and armaments. If the world serpent had attacked them, then they wouldn't be able to do anything to resist it. But this was mostly the reason why they disabled their shields and armaments, it was to give a simple statement towards the world serpent and that statement was clear for all to see. The capital warship wants a negotiation with the world serpent, nothing more and nothing less.
