I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

[That god says that your cultivation lacks the general blueprint for it to start. He says that he has that blueprint, with each step aiming to make you take better control over the world of shadows]

For a reason, it felt like I was speaking with Sith.

"Do you know Sith? Did he send you over to help me?" I asked in doubt, but the next answer I got was something else.

[That god says to you: Sith? He is an arrogant piece of shit!]

"Sorry man, you two are gods and I'm just a human," I raised both hands in the air, not commenting over this insult from that god.

[That god says that you need to work for one aim, take control over the shadows of all humans here and anywhere in the universe]

"Taking control over their shadows…" I paused for a long moment while everything started to fall in place. "So you made me merge the human souls so I could control human shadows? What about other races? Can I do that?"

[That god says yes, you can do it. He says that you have to be patient and wait until you finish laying out your foundation stage first]

I got his point. Per Sith arrangements, my cultivation would be six stages with an extra foundation stage. Each one would be thirteen smaller phases, and I was just forming the first step.

[That god says that you need to select the name then enter your cultivation. Inside your shadow, select a perfect spot and think about that name of the soul. He says that your first attempt to plant soul is the hardest]

"Plant souls? Don't tell me we are going to build a garden!" I was just joking around, but that dude seemed to lack any sense of humour.

[That god says that we aren't building any garden but these souls will be the grand framework you'll use to form the ultimatum soul of your cultivation]

Well.. I had to give it in for you pal… every time you spoke I became more lost. Anyway, let's start with what I got so far.

"Keep releasing your attacks," before starting cultivation, I said to my boys before adding to the spearhead, "don't panic even if you can't release your ability freely. Just keep pushing and forcing your way through."

"Are you going to leave me here, boss?" That dude was really a coward.

"Why not throw you away to the wolves down below, it would be much easier and faster to kill you, right?" I stepped forward for a half metre but he had to run back for almost ten metres.

"B… Boss… Don't scare me like this," he said while his body was drenched in sweat, out of fear.

"Hahaha, your face… Come on dude, how long have we been together?" I shook my head helplessly while laughing, "Keep working and let me focus on solving this crisis here."

I returned to my initial position but that dude didn't. I could feel his gazes still attracted to my actions, like he wasn't confident in my words or promise.

I looked at the world around me for the last time before starting my cultivation. That bastard out there was bringing more weapons here. The third layer took almost fifty weapons to attack. So the fourth might need more than one hundred of these deadly weapons.

He just had no more than sixty so far. So I got time, considering that he was still summoning herds of humans here.

All of them were moving in the city, bypassing me like I never existed. Even with the three sealing layers, my boys' attacks were still hitting the enemies.

At first there was a gap when the third layer landed. But then my boys' attacks connected and they continued to kill the enemy without pause.

The spearhead weakening ability was the one to get greatly damaged. Instead of covering almost all the lands to the horizon, he was now struggling to just keep control over an area in front of the city.

He was trying his best to shield the city from any attack coming. The forces led by my teammates seemed to sense this danger and they stopped pushing forward, and only were defending the city at the river.

The city had two rivers lining two sides of it. My forces just crossed the bridges standing and started to make posts and rudimentary forts and trenches to get a better hold over this zone.

Of course they must have gotten the word from the spearhead about how dangerous this situation was.

Anyway, things here didn't look that bad for now. I just hoped I'd get done with my cultivation first.

I managed to merge and evolve one more soul. I just lacked the third soul and I was now waiting for the evolution of the third soul to finish.

The first soul had the wither ability, the second soul had the devour ability. Giving names to each soul to match its ability was a nuisance.

"I shall only use their ability as their names," I paused and when I didn't get any objection from that god, I decided to do this.

After all, if I kept looking for names suited for each ability, I'd waste more time than I needed. And I didn't have that much anyway to waste.

[Congratulations! The third evolved soul is being born]

[The soul is an evolved human soul]

[It's one thousand percent stronger than any human soul]

[The soul developed a special ability; Ruin]

[You need to give a name to this soul]

I was now ready. "Name the first one Wither, the second Devour, and the third Ruin," I finished this step before taking a deep breath and sat on the ground.

I was ready to get into my cultivation world

[Your souls got the names you gave them]

[They say thank you]

I saw the last weird message before closing my eyes and feeling my dantian.

What did the system even mean by the last message? Could these souls speak even if they were just… stored souls in my soul list?
