Great Builder was going all-out against the Rulers' Resolve. Their battle was massive and captured vast areas of the battlefield in explosions and incredible attacks.
It was impossible to predict who would win, but Great Builder appeared on the losing end. He was hurting his opponent, but the effort depleted his energy quickly, and it was unclear how long he could keep that up.
Steven's situation was even worse. The landmass' attack had interrupted his offensive, but he was still relying on all the energy inside his world to match Decumia's power. Moreover, he couldn't inflict serious injuries even while going all-out.
Emperor, Vesuvia, Pellio, Queen, Cursed Reality, and Supreme Thief were fine. The landmass' storms couldn't hurt them, and their opponents weren't their match.
