After three months since the Breached Portals appeared, some of those that hadn't been discovered earlier was now wide enough to send Energy Clones of Transcendents to possess an Earthling.

Those places became large enough to be called as a stronghold for the Dark Cult.

Yumiko and Jayna managed to destroy one of those before they went to the World of Elements, however, that's just one… Those they missed had been continuously expanding ever since that time. 

By now, it's not an exaggeration to say that the whole world was already being parasitized by the Invasive Worlds trying to feel out the defenses of this world. When they arrived, they would surely target those with the least defenses to create another foothold.

The Earth Defense Army that was cultivated by the Principal was already fully mobilized all around the world. However, it's not like they're strong enough to take down every Dark Cult member or Possessed Earthlings.
