Well not a billion planets. But the force capable of destroying a planet in one blow times a billion.
Basically Hulk supplied the half the force necessary to destroy a planet from a distance (hundreds of yards away) without touching the planet.
It takes an astronomically amount of force to destroy something from a good distance without making contact directly than the force needed in making direct contact.
For example, it takes x amount of force to smash a brick with a sledge hammer. But if you strike something else (not the brick) with the sledge hammer from a good distance away then you do basically less than 1 billionth of the damage to the brick. In fact, you have to hit that something else on the order of a billion times harder, from hundreds of yards away, than hitting the brick directly in order to damage the brick exactly the same amount as hitting it directly.
Now you may argue that a billion is too much. But the point is to multiply the force capable of shattering a planet by a large ass number.
