It wasn't a safe return, and they met lots of fleets coming back to this universe. Lots of battles happened, and they lost more of their forces, the already thinned out ones.
None of this was known to Hye or others, but they got saved a lot by this unexpected turn of events. None of them knew that after every disaster at the outer battlefield, many forces would decide to retreat and build camps around it.
If that ever happened, then Hye and his infantile forces would have faced a far greater challenge this time. Thanks to luck, these forces got busy dealing with the retreating hostile fleets of the other universe. And that saved them a lot of trouble.
As battles raged between the two sides, they started to shift back into the outer battlefield. Hye's forces were cleansing the grand scale war that just ended here, and after a week or two, they ended up finding more ruckus in places neither Hye nor his warrior visited before.
