Of course mommy Atlus likes their money machine so the eternal duel will continue. perhaps he's hoping that by winning against a fixed game without help humans will finally settle the question.

in P5 Nyarlie seems to be outright cheating, and Philemon doesn't do much to stop it. in retaliation Philemon used his butterfly avatar to directly guide Joker to the truth to even the playing field. There are subtle hints that they bend these rules (massive P5R spoilers) Nyarlie is hinted to have directly influenced Maruki and granted him a persona from his own pantheon, namely azathoth, as well as interfering with the velvet room by impersonating/making an impostor for Igor. They are allowed to guide, and they each get a pack of admission tickets to the gimmick of the game to hand out, Nyarlie gives it to an antagonist, and Philemon to the protagonist. Philemon and Nyarlie basically made an agreement that they would not directly interfere anymore, they would let chosen humans fight their 'duel/debate' over the worthiness of humanity. The circumstances of the new timeline are explained in Eternal Punishment, and this new timeline is where P3-P5 take place (and assumedly SH2). The previous games in the timeline (all Devil Summoner games, SMT if, and P1) still happened in the new timeline. The only difference is that the cast of IS never met each other during their childhood, and they lost all of their memories of the game's events, preventing the source of the world's destruction from occurring. Everyone from the old timeline is brought over, and the world is pretty much exactly how it was before the events of IS. At the end of Innocent Sin, the entire world pretty much gets completely fucked up, so Philemon (master of the Velvet Room) creates a second timeline. The timeline split in P2 only really applies to that game's story. This is about 35 years after P5 and it isn't too hard to imagine technology getting more advanced in that time frame. From what I've played though, it does work since it takes place around the mid 21st century, so around 2050.
