According to statistics procured afterward, the entire first phase of the decisive battle lasted less than 6 hours from the beginning to the end of a trading day.
However, for exactly 6 hours, the capital confrontation between the two parties had reached 100 billion US Dollars while the fluctuation of funds driven by radiation had even reached a trillion dollars in scale.
It was only a capital match between the two parties that lasted less than an hour but the wealth it evaporated was enough t o instantly develop a small African country with a population of hundreds of thousands.
