Decades had passed since Kireina reached the Summit of Existence, elevating her entire Reality to become part of the Existence Expanse. With her came billions of people, protected by her Mark of the Root; she elevated them to near-Empyrean Throne levels when necessary, though most of the population retained their original strength, living peacefully in their own universes and dimensions as Kireina had always intended.

Khaos persuaded Kireina's father to disband the Chaos Gate as a criminal group and reform it into a benevolent clan dedicated to protecting Earth. Lord Chaos had largely shed his old destructive ways, though every so often the urge to destroy resurfaced; he would slip away to the Heavenly Dimensional Domains meant for consumption and obliterate a few to vent those instincts.
