Versatile System Online

The darkness under the hood made it impossible to perceive his expression but everyone else looking at him right now knew that the dean was enjoying it.

The way he attacked, it was meant to torture more than it was meant to kill and this was exactly what happened with the celestial transformed into a bison. The dean had put the man on the brink of frustration and anger and right after the man thought to have achieved a breakthrough against the dean, he pulled the man's soul out.

Right now, the reddish piece of soul was clenched tightly by the soul claw while the dean threw Death Spheres at the body of the man. The Death Spheres hit the immobile body as it was slowly destroyed bit by bit.

Turning his attention to the soul, the dean saw the soul still trying to escape.

"Hmph…If you could escape this then I am not a soulmancer," The dean retorted with arrogance. This wasn't some blind arrogance not backed by anything but was the arrogance of a Celestial who had the strength to back it.

The Soul Claw teleported back to the dean as he raised his hand and grabbed the soul with his own hands. Like a man playing with a kid, the dean clenched the reddish soul.

Raising his other hand, a strange bolt of lightning streaked through the sky as a hammer appeared in his hands. This was the dean's innate ability,

[Soul Hammer],

It allowed him to hammer the souls and make them melt into anything but what did the dean intend to do right now?

He was in the middle of a battle and being this careless, he was practically asking the enemy experts to tear him apart.

"Clanggg," the hammer fell upon the soul as a shrill metallic sound rang out in the surroundings.

The dean didn't stop and continued to hammer. One blow after the other, the hammer kept on striking as the dean put his undivided attention on the soul.

Seeing this,

The serpentine celestial looked at the hybrid celestial. They both had a strange amused look on their face but only one thought remained in their minds.

"This is the time, we have the chance and we have to seize it," They both nodded and stepped forward.

The serpentine celestial disappeared into the wind while the hybrid celestial simply charged forward with a huge staff in his hands.

"Fools," The huge mountain troll behind them simply thought. He knew that being a celestial, the dean wasn't a fool and that there must be a reason behind such recklessness.

Also, the fact that the domain of souls still remained was something not to be ignored.

However, the mountain troll didn't stop them. They both were idiots and he was going to let them have some fun. As for why he did so, he was a monster and so were they and for monsters, there were no eternal friends or enemies just eternal benefits.

The mountain troll knew that both of them were future competition and it wouldn't matter much to him if one of them or both died. He would only benefit and would even usurp their armies.

"Prometheus, your time is over," The serpentine celestial flashed above the dean. The spear in his hand angled downwards towards the dean's head. A dangerous glint shone on the spear's tip as it seemed to corrode everything.

This was the magic of the serpentine celestial. Being from the serpent clan, he had control over poisons and right now, he had used his most power magic to lace his spear so he could strike a deadly blow at the dean.

"Hehe… he is right, you are finished," The hybrids celestial appeared below the dean. His staff pulling a long curve as he swing it hard at the dean.

"Fools," The dean grinned. His voice was soft and calm but to the celestials, it sounded no less than the voice of the grim reaper. For they now understood what had actually happened.

They had been fooled by the dean and walked into his trap like the mice they were.

"Domain," The dean called out loud as within seconds, the celestials lost control over their bodies. Their actions stopped as they felt their souls and bodies separate.

"Soul Claw," The said out as the celestials screamed in horror. They had just seen what the spell did to the bison transformed celestial and now, they were on the receiving end.

Two huge claws appeared behind the dean as the dean pointed forward.

"Hmph…" Knowing the nature of the soul claw. The celestials got past their initial shock and raised their weapons each. They used their powers to the max and broke free from the restraints of the domain.

[Serpentine Clan:- Domain Of Snakes],

A hollow world spread behind the serpentine celestial, the phantom of a huge snake appeared as it's eyes looked deep into the world.

On the other hand,

The hybrid celestial also raised his hands and released his domain.

[Domain Of Strength:- World Crusher],

Their domains were vastly different. On one side, the serpentine clan's domain of snakes was backed by the ancestor of serpentine clan. The ancestor was said to be a powerful expert above the ranks of celestials.

While the hybrid celestial's domain was based on his own strength. Not being affiliated to any supernatural power or having any backing, the hybrid celestial strength was not something to scoff at but was still weaker than the serpentine clan's domain.

"So you both finally decided to use it," The dean smiled. His figure flickered as the soul in his hands floated in the air. The reddish gleam on it intensified as a scorching heat was released.

"What is he doing?" this was the thought revolving in their mind as they all looked at the dean disappear from there. Even his domain was called back as they found it very strange of him.

"Is he scared? Has he ran away?" They thought and turned around to look for the dean.

In the distance away, they found the dean floating in the air. His face having a malicious smile as he looked at them in an amusing manner.

"Behind you," The dean mouthed.

"Huh?" Confused, they all looked behind as they found themselves unable to control themselves. Their pupils constricted as fear gripped their hearts.

They finally understood why the dean had ran away. Even they wanted to but it was too late.

The serpentine celestial and the hybrid celestial released their domain to their max strength and put it in front of them. The domain's strength was used to the point that it turned corporeal.

They had decided to use the domain for defense. In the distance, the mountain troll celestial sighed slightly and used his powers to teleport back in retreat.

As for why they were so scared, it was easy to guess. The soul that the dean had been pounding so relentlessly was of a celestial and the energy contained in it was tremendous. It was ten times that of a nuclear bomb and by pounding it continuously, the dean had activated a strange mechanism in the souls that made the soul self destruct.

Not only that but the dean even poured his mana into it and increased the output by twice. This caused the soul to become filled with energy to the point that it couldn't hold anymore of it.

This was what the dean planned to do. Using the enemy to kill the enemy. This attack would not only wipe out a huge percentage if the army down below but also injure the celestial severely. Hence, allowing the dean and the warriors on earth to relax for a bit and deal with other issues.

After all, these celestial were not the ones from System Online but were from Outer World and it wouldn't be long before entities from System Online started pouring in.

The dean just hoped that his show of paper would make the Outer World scared and wary of them for long enough to let the Earth stabilize.

"Explode," The dean called out and turned.

"Boooommm!!" An explosion occurred as a huge mushroom cloud rose behind him. The world seemed to darken for a second as it seized the light throughout. Then as if a sun had risen, the light shown back and increased in intensity so much that it would burn the eyes out anyone below the Calamity Realm.

The dean teleported to Amanda and picked her up. He had also called his soul army back into the world of death. Then, teleporting to the portal, he stepped through it.

Right after he did, the explosion reached the portal as well as it disturbed the space around it and the portal was finished.

"Now, let's see how the city is. Hope there is still something left to fix," The dean thought and teleported down to a skyscraper in hopes of overlooking the city and finally taking control of things.
