(MC POV)
Hmm… Despite this fight starting with more than a billion people, the number was quickly reduced in less than a few hours until only around ten thousand participants remained.
With a planet this big, I was fully prepared to see the battle royale drag on over several days but it seems like I forgot the people participating could bend and manipulate both space and reality if they wanted to.
There were literally people just blinking around the planet using short range teleportation and eliminating people left and right. Sometimes one would even set off a gigantic explosion that would catch several other parties as collateral damage without meaning to.
Within the first hour of the battle royale, the number of active contestants had already dropped by half.
Incidentally, either by coincidence or design, none of my disciples had come across any of those Origin Wielders who seemed to be the most aggressive or experienced for this batch.
