AP to pull the earth in half

[Monarch_Laciel]

In the game Pandora's Tower, the main antagonist creates the Scar 50 years prior to the events of the game. The Scar is a massive chasm in the middle of a continent, and I'm currently getting a calc on how large it actually is. However, there is more to the Scar than just being a big hole.

Suspended by massive chains over the middle of the Scar are the 13 Towers, a massive fortress made of interlocking towers. The instruction manual of the game that gives extra info on the world, states this:

Held in place by chains, the Towers loom like a spider in its web. Seeming to inhabit a space beyond the normal world, the Towers serve a purpose; they bind the earth together, preventing The Scar from widening and tearing apart the world itself.

Pretty straightforward. If the 13 Towers and the chains weren't there, the Scar would physically rip apart the planet. So, how much force would this take? I ask because ripping the planet in half seems like it would be less joules than fragmenting the planet or something, which I believe would be planet level.

To know this, let's have another example at it. Namely Toneri Otsutsuki from Naruto.

Toneri's casual feat of splitting the moon in half gave him Multi-Continent level worth of destructive capacity due to the fact that he only cut the moon in half, not fully destroyed it.

This means that the power required to rip the planet in half should be a little lower than Planet level, namely Small Planet level.

Correct me if I'm wrong in something.

Probably.

Well, seeing as we have the calc for Toneri on hand to serve as a model for what to do, I might try my hand at calcing it myself in a few hours, assuming no one shows up with an already existing calc.

Yeah, but in this case the halves wouldn't come back together again, meaning they would overcome the planets gbe.

He said split the planet in half, not fully destroy it. There's a difference.
