Orion nodded.
Zymera's thoughts stalled for a moment. Her lips twitched.
How could the rumours about the Supreme Leader's fertility have been so severely underestimated?
The stronger a Spirit Beast like her became, the more limited her choices for reproduction grew. Only those of equal rank, one rank higher or one rank lower, could impregnate her with relative ease. Spirit Beasts significantly weaker than her could still impregnate stronger Spirit Beasts; most struggle, but the fertilization process often took an extended period, sometimes years, before a pregnancy could even be confirmed.
This was one of the main reasons Spirit Beasts, after reaching a certain level of strength, would often migrate to other regions: to expand their potential mating pool.
Even though she had been briefed on Orion's exceptional fertility capabilities, she had expected the process to take at least a few months, perhaps years at most, which would've already been considered astonishing.
