The threat facing the Imperial Capital had been completely eliminated, but other cities were still under siege from the monster hordes.
The passage connecting the two worlds had only drawn the chaotic energy surrounding the Imperial Capital into the Eternal World; elsewhere, the chaotic energy remained as powerful as before.
