My guess is VIRM’s motives were to finish what was started when they first invaded Earth - kill the Klaxo Sapiens and Klaxosaur’s because they failed to do so when the Klaxo Sapiens fought them off and forced VIRM to retreat. And VIRM was using humanity as a weapon for their benefit like their personal army. They harvest souls as a food source to increase their abilities.

I’m not entirely sure why the souls of the immortal adults besides the children and their caretakers were absorbed by VIRM. I’m not sure about VIRM taking souls from living beings who gave implicit consent into their doctrines because majority of the children still believed Papa when VIRM appeared. My guess is that the children were already in midst of battling VIRM and Papa thought the children would easily be killed and then their souls could be taken.

The point of reincarnation was to fulfill Hiro02’s lifelong dream - live a normal and peaceful life as human beings.

All souls harvested across the universe were kept in VIRM’s homeplanet, as it is shown VIRM travels world to world gathering souls. The souls took a thousand years to return to Earth because VIRM’s home planet is said to be at the end of the universe, and it is known that the universe is gradually expanding, so I can imagine how huge it is in the 22nd century.

A lot of info :D
