In the end, a big gap was created between them and Sloth's army. In their eyes, such a gap wasn't a problem as it'd take a few hours for their masters to cross. But they missed something crucial here.
Sloth's army was going to dominate and rock the entire Black Hole area thanks to William's plan. So Sloth and others weren't worried or even irritated by this. In their eyes, the incoming armies would find nothing at all to do except for dead bodies of dark masters and liberated zones.
As things were getting to such a point between the colossal master armies, William finally consumed enough spirit power to activate the heart.
The moment the heart got activated, the insane pressure he was suffering vanished. It happened in mere seconds, and then he got the chance to finally check what was going on here and everywhere around.
The heart that never showed a single sign or response before changed, started to shine brighter with white light. It appeared as if the mist was building up inside it, and William knew this was going to be the start.
"Oh, they are racing up to arrive there," as he got time before the next step of the plan would get into motion, he took a wide look over the world out there.
He saw what was happening in the marching armies here. They were all racing up to catch Sloth's army. And seeing such a scene made him laugh. "They think they'll get a chance in this? I won't give them any, hahahaha!"
He aimed to secure the glory of this battle for himself and his guild branch here. Even if they kept running like mad, they wouldn't get any chance to do anything worthy of note in this war.
He then turned his attention towards Sloth's army. They were running like hell as well, even consuming spirit power potions and elixirs to keep their spirit power at max level. They were around two hours away from the Black Holes, enough time for the heart to show its worth and destroy any shadow in the Black Holes.
Then he turned towards the Black Holes zone, quickly checking everything there. The dark master leaders already spotted what was coming towards them. And as they got total trust in their formation to handle everything, they started to evacuate their dark masters, moving them far behind the frontline.
Seeing this made William evilly grin. They weren't evacuating fast, not fast enough to keep the gap between them and the incoming masters fixed. They seemed to grow interested in watching the expected massacre happening in the ranks of the normal masters, with many deciding to stand behind.
Those who were blinded by greed wanted to stay behind and fish the loot from the dead bodies of the normal masters. As dark masters were filled with endless scum and dirty natured people, the number of them standing behind was enough to make an entire army of them.
William was positive that what was going on here was perceived totally by Sloth and the high end masters on his side. So he didn't bother to warn Sloth, and returned to examine the heart.
The white colour was now gone, replaced by bright silver light. William knew once the colour reached faint gold, he could activate everything. That would happen in an hour or so. And that meant there would be one hour left for the dark masters to adapt and make countermeasures to the new changes.
"That will be bad," he knew giving the enemy time to prepare himself was a big mistake, "I'll warn Sloth of the timing, make him and others be prepared for it."
As he spoke with Sloth next, the latter didn't argue at all or complain like how William expected. When he asked, Sloth explained that the early batches that'd arrive there were formed entirely of the highest and strongest masters in his army.
He didn't think they would find any trouble dealing with the shadows until the formation would take full effect. Sloth agreed with William about the need to activate the formation at the last moment, to not early warn the enemy about their plan.
As William got one extra hour before activating everything, he added more healing potion to the ground around him. He was now standing in the middle of many heaps of elixir bottles, forming a weird scene around him.
After doing this, he started to focus more on the Black Holes area. He used the advantage of enhanced spirit sense and covered up many holes, further inspecting them.
According to Karoline, he got to know that each Black Hole was covering up a portal leading to places outside this world.
Each black hole was like a massive black dome, covering an area of tens of kilometres. He couldn't see through these balls, and didn't know what lay within. But from his talk with Karoline before, he knew there were lots of dangers inside, and also entrapped people and monsters.
Not seeing through the black holes didn't startle or worry him, but he kept doing this out of boredom. Sloth's army frontal units were drawing fast, heading closer to the Black Holes region with their highest speed. But they still took two hours to get there. And once they were less than ten minutes away, he started to activate the heart.
The heart was now shining in a slightly bright golden colour. That meant it went to a much higher stage than he intended to. "It will need a bit more of my spirit power to kick its start," he muttered to himself, taking out five elixirs before activating the heart.
As he guessed, the moment he activated the heart, a weird suction force appeared. It enveloped him, making him feel dried out of spirit power again. But with the help of the five elixirs, he managed to live through it.
And then a loud rumble came from the direction of the heart, followed by grand changes all over the world.
