I put end in quotes because I know that the battle phase technically cannot end until all abilities that trigger based on the result of the battle and/or at the end of battle have activated.  My real question is more like the following: after a battle challenge has been declined, can the attacker play a card that would generate a lost soul (i.e. harvest time or putting ends of the earth into battle)?  I would assume that once the battle challenge has been declined, it is too late because battle resolution would kick in and once that is done the battle phase is over.
