The real Eren was still inside the Merchant Union's Ship. However, he wasn't as ignorant as before about the events taking place in the lower world.
Now that he was able to talk to Spirit Queen Yelen, he had been receiving constant updates about the events of the lower world. At times, he received information even faster than his clone did from his followers.
Eren couldn't even focus on his own problem about being stuck at the Merchant Union's Ship which was on route to the abhorrent King's Clan.
His mind kept shifting back to the events of the lower world, especially since he heard that almost the entirety of the Holy Empire had fallen, leaving only the Holy City now.
In the past, the Holy City used to be invulnerable as it was protected within the core domain of the goddess. He had killed that goddess. With her death, the protection was also gone.
