The kids are still alive, and the godslayer's plan is a failure. The world is facing "a total data transformation" , and there's nothing that can be done about it. The only thing that can stop it is for the kids to run away and die. The e potion woke him up, and it's his destiny to travel back to the past. If he doesn't go back, he'll never be able to travel to the future. So, the only way to stop the e potion is to defeat the murderer. They've already won 77% of the battle, and they've got a lot of work to do before they can build the e-porter.
