The moment the competition started, several contestants attacked Peter in unison, determined to eliminate the biggest threat first.
A barrage of abilities and items flew his way, but Peter was ready. With a quick rub of his hands, a circular barrier crackling with arcs of electricity materialized around his body, blocking the onslaught.
"Put more power into it! He can't defend against this many attacks!"
Someone shouted a rally, and while some contestants responded by increasing their Psychic Power output, others held back. A few even faked their attacks, their eyes watching everyone else.
This was a contest where only one person could survive. Everyone was a competitor; there was no scenario in which they could kill Peter together and then expect a peaceful outcome.
Many were conserving their strength, making their combined power insufficient to quickly destroy Peter's Thunder Barrier. He seized this opportunity to launch a counterattack.
