There are a couple of things wrong with your scenario. Ill explain later in my post.The golem had Omega Beams attack that were precision based, deadly but no collateral damage and had energy based attacks that can harm green lanterns.
It needed time to charge his omega beams and while charging used energy based attacks. He wasn't using the Omega Beams attack when the shockwaves destroyed the System because then Orion would be dead and no collateral damage.
So now back to your scenario.
Ali in his prime would ko us in a second without much collateral damage. Like the Omega beams from Golem to Orion.Now match prime Ali with Tyson in his prime, not going to get into who wins, but your room loses. More evenly matched opponents, no oneshot KO = destroyed room. The same thing with golem vs Orion, no omega beams, more of those attacks like the one he harmed Hal vs Orion going for the kill with no regard to collateral damage equaled solar system being destroyed.
This is why Kyle didnt want Orion to go against him, Orion wouldn't show the same restraint that the lanterns would if it came down to a none omega beams battle.
People have said that Orion boomed tubed out during the battle but that's false because every time the boom tube is used, there is a BOOM. there was no boom in that shockwaves battle scene.
Also the color of the attacks from the Golem was different than the shockwaves that destroyed the system so it wasn't all golem. Don't know if he was 99%, or 50% but if not specified in the comic, we usually accept 50% except the side that brings up planetoids, hollow planets and weightlessness in space.
That’s kings my point...
You don’t knit hot much Orion attributed to that shock wave. Was it 99% 1%.. etc
