While Irving and the others were dealing with the disaster caused by Sophia, deep within the Shelter Game world, Shadow Celestial was also grappling with the troubles that Sophia had created. Although Irving and his group had returned to the real world, Shadow Celestial remained deeply worried.
"One of my secret bases has been destroyed by Irving! And he took the Chaotic Arrow with him! If he brings the Chaotic Arrow back to the Shelter Game world, I won't be able to confront him head-on," Shadow Celestial yelled at his trusted subordinates. His dissatisfaction with them was growing by the day.
In recent times, Shadow Celestial's subordinates had offered him no support whatsoever. These so-called trusted aides had even failed to help him maintain complete control over the Night Blades. Shadow Celestial was acutely aware that many within the Night Blades secretly opposed him. He wanted to identify these individuals but had been unsuccessful thus far.
