The war against the Devils was expected to be arduous. The easy access to living souls was of paramount importance to the Devils, so the Demon Beasts, Spirits, and Humanoids expected harsh retaliation. However, no one thought that the moment the Continental Barriers disappeared, the Angel Realm would attack the Underworld as well.
Because of that, the Devils who were initially coming to the Realm of Gods to defend their territory got confused. Should they go back to the Underworld and fight the angels, or should they stay here and defend their supply of living souls?
Unfortunately, they were not given a choice. As mentioned before, the angels have locked down the Temporal Path. That meant the Devils who arrived couldn't go back, and that also included the Elder Devils. Well, it wasn't like they couldn't use th Temporal Path to reach the Underworld, but that the Angels had mounted a huge defense at its exit.
