Impossible Odds 3
This was a problem everyone was beginning to notice, especially those who used Worldly Energy directly like Roma, Hikari, and Rina.

Yes, Worldly Energy was eternal and would restore itself after time. However, the current rate at which the various beings in the Field Zone were absorbing and converting it into other forms of energy exceeded its recovery rate, making it temporarily finite.
Those who pondered over the rules of Boundless would all eventually contemplate where exactly that so-called Worldly Energy would come from.
