It didn't take long for both sides to destroy every planet in their path. Practically everything was annihilated in this battle of giants. Most of the geniuses had already perished, and in the end, everything was decided by a move orchestrated from within one of the sides. It was an extremely well-thought-out strategy that took about 900 years to come to fruition.
"Congratulations to all involved in this legendary battle," the voice echoed, waking many mages who had fallen asleep during the event. "Now we shall begin the true battle of geniuses. Everyone may enter, whether they represent a god or not."
This last statement took many mages by surprise, but they quickly realized it was just a polite formality from the organizers. There was simply no way for a mage to reach this level without being supported by a god—it was too absurd an idea to even consider.
