"You ready?" The dean asked Amanda.

"Yes, I am," Opening her eyes fully, Amanda nodded. She raised her staff even higher in the sky and chanted,

"Calling upon the will of the world. I call upon the power, wisdom and knowledge attained over the eons the world has been," As she chanted, the light around her intensified.

The ground started to tremble as various roots shot out of it. They wrapped up around Amanda and formed a cocoon over her.

"Amanda?" Seeing this, the dean panicked. Not knowing what was happening to his beloved, he called out for her.

"Don't worry Prometheus. It is for her own safety, just keep on fighting," The spirit of the world appeared in front of the dean and spoke.

"But…" The dean tried to say something. However, he had no words. In front of the world's spirit, whose wisdom was unimaginable; he dared not say anything else.

He just hoped that Amanda remained safe and sound. Turning back to the army raging towards them, the dean decided to channel his frustration onto them.

"Take formation," The dean commanded the seven spirit generals.

The spirit generals nodded and got to work. They raised their weapons and opened their mouths as an inaudible scream was let out. Though no one could hear it, the spirit warriors and low level souls behind them trembled.

Their actions synchronized as they all moved forward and took an attacking formation. The low level souls floated in the air, ready to charge forward at a moments notice.

"Not now, let them come a bit more closer," The dean ordered the spirit generals. Flapping his wings, he took to the air so he could observe the situation.

From above, the dean saw the army, it's generals and the monsters the army consisted of. Taking a rough estimate, the dean estimated the army to be about in millions and the average power level to be from the intermediate tier to advanced tier.

But that was just for the cannon fodder. The generals and cavalry was way stronger. The cavalry ranged in hundreds of thousands and it's power levels were in the higher tiers of the Magical Realm while the generals albeit less were strong enough to tackle any Calamity Realm expert.

Seeing this, the dean sighed. It was going to be a hard battle. After all, the Celestials from the other side had yet to participate.

"Well, lets show them that we have the whole world with us," The dean chuckled.

He raised his scythe and pointed it at the army. Taking aim, he charged the scythe with his mana as a small ball of energy formed at it's tip.

"Lets have some fun then," The dean smiled and released the energy. The ball of energy whizzed and turned into a thin line that went straight at the army.

"Plop!!" A head was exploded as a general fell to the ground, it's body was limp as the dean had finally shown his stance on the battle.

He was going to kill and his first kill was a Calamity Realm expert.

"Charge!!!" While the enemy army was still confused over what happened, the dean took the opportunity and decided to charge forward.

His soul army shrieked as the low level souls flew out. They covered the sky with their numbers as the enemy army saw a dark blanket of smoke heading towards.

"Rrghhhhh," A general from the enemy army roared. His roar waking up everyone from their stupor, the army finally understood what was happening.

Earth had finally taken their stance and they were going to defend with all their might.

Meanwhile,

Far away in the desolate plane,

A huge mountain stood in silence. Covered with rocks and vegetation, a whole biosphere had been formed over it. At the tip of the mountain stood three people as they looked at a mirror in front of them. 𝙛r𝚎𝐞𝑤𝚎𝗯𝗻𝗼𝐯e𝚕.𝒄𝐨𝓂

The mirror was rounded and had rippling images that constantly changed. The mirror was displaying the live events of the battle that went on far away from their position.

"What should we do?" A person asked. His body was tall and strong. Two horns extended out of his forehead. The man was the most normal looking if compared to the other two as he resembled a human the most.

The others in front of them weren't even remotely close. They were the leaders of their armies and had reached the Celestial Realm long ago.

Before anyone could reply, the mountain shook as a voice spoke from within it,

"Let them fight," That was all it spoke before going silent. Hearing this, everyone present on the mountain went silent as well. They knew that it was right and that they had to let them fight for now. After all, as Celestials and leaders of the army. They would only appear when necessary.

With that, they all went back to observing the battlefield.

On the battlefield,

A thick stench of blood flowed spread out. Bodies were mangled and spread everywhere while heads were laid down everywhere.

The spirit generals of the soul army remained in their places. Right now, the cavalry and the low levels soldiers fought. The enemy army's canon fodder was being mercilessly slain by the never ending, never dying souls.

This was the special characteristic of the dean's soul army. They were never dying and would live forever. Their only drawback was that they were entirely dependent on the dean and the realm of death from which they used the energy they needed.

The dean stood in the air with his hands behind his back. He overlooked everything and waited for the celestial realm experts of the enemy army to arrive.

"Amanda, I think it's time," The dean spoke to the cocoon.

As if hearing his words, the cocoon trembled in acknowledgement. The spirit of the world appeared again, clad in a silvery green armor. With a sword in it's hand, the will of the world also showed its desire to participate in the battle.

The cocoon spun as roots shot out of it at unimaginable speeds. Gathering around the gate of death, they formed a protective barrier over it. After all, the gate of death was the connection between two world and if anything happened to it, the dean would lose a huge chunk of his strength.

After that, the roots extended to the portal and blocked it fully. The dean's plan was not to let even a single stray into the real world and Amanda totally agreed with it. Therefore, they blocked the very portal that lead to the real world.

"Prometheus, someone's coming," The spirit of the world informed.

"So they finally decided to intervene," The dean grinned. Clenching the scythe, his wings extended further. The sky dimmed as darkness spread everywhere.

Raising his other hand, the dean threw a couple of stones in the air. Pumping his mana into them, the dean cast his spell,

[Spirit Gems:- Soul Transfer],

This was his prototype spell that he was currently working on. For this spell, he was trying to combine the abilities of soul generals into the spirit gems. This way, their dependency on the dean would lessen.

As for where he got the souls from, these were the souls he acquired from System Online. He had melted all of those souls together to form a dozen of souls that had greater strength and various abilities. Though, due to the combining effect, the souls didn't have much potential and thus, their path to getting stronger was harder.

The dean didn't care. For him, this was a prototype and he didn't have an ounce of care for the souls used.

The dean looked ahead and saw someone flying towards him. The person had dark skin while two horns extended out of his forehead.

"So who are you?" The dean asked.

"I am one of the leaders of this army. A celestial realm expert who is here to tell you that you don't have anything left. Accept your defeat and retreat. Let this army enter through the portal," The leader spoke.

"Do you think I care? I am here to fight and I won't let you pass. This is my world and I won't let you swarm it," The dean declared. He raised his scythe and attacked.

His figure blurred and appeared behind the expert as he slashed.

"Spurrtt," Blood spurt as a gash appeared on the man's back.

The dean then raised his scythe and plunged it inside the man, the tip of the scythe hooked onto the man's shoulder as the dean swung the man around and threw him in the air.

The man flew into the distant air. His figure suddenly disappeared, the man appeared behind the dean and chuckled into the dean's air.

"You think you could throw me around so easily? It was your mistake," The man said and place his hand on the dean's shoulder. After that, the man applied some pressure as the dean's shoulder cracked.

The pain made the dean frown in pain but who was dean? What was some pain to him?

The dean raised his leg and kicked back.

"Arghhh," The man suddenly screamed. He fell behind in the air, grabbing his crotch; the man looked down where his crown jewels were. He had felt something crack and it was his crown jewels.

"Youu…" The man looked at the dean in anger.

"Hehe… Now you can't have some fun for a long time. I even left a surprise down there," The dean chuckled insidiously.

"I won't leave you," The man screamed as he started to change and his body transformed.
