Because, since the dark Spirit must disappear, it means that there must not be a single carrier, not a single person, with a black soul. Well, otherwise the Spirit will be sitting there. Do you understand? That is, it turns out that every person must either be cleansed by the Last Judgment, or, if he does not cleanse, depart, as the saying goes, into the other world.
The Last Judgment: what is on the internet:
“The Last Judgment in the Sacred Scriptures and Tradition
This event is mentioned in the Sacred Scriptures many times, but most vividly and in detail — in the New Testament. The Lord Jesus Christ Himself speaks about it in the Gospel of Matthew (Matt. 25:31–46) — the parable about the sheep and the goats, where He separates the righteous from the unmerciful by the deeds of love towards one’s neighbour. Also in Matt. 16:27, John 5:22–29 (the power of judgment is given to the Son), 2 Cor. 5:10 (“we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ”), Rom. 14:10, Rev. 20:11–15 (the Great White Throne, the books of deeds and the book of life). In the Old Testament it is the echo of “the day of the Lord” — great and terrible (Joel 2:31, Mal. 4:5 and others).
In Christianity (especially in Orthodoxy) the Last Judgment is not one moment, but the concluding act of the whole history of salvation. It takes place at the Second Coming of Christ, when all the dead will be resurrected (John 5:28–29, 1 Cor. 15:51–52), the living will be changed, and the whole world will stand before the Judge.
The stages that are usually distinguished (according to Scripture and Patristic Tradition):
1. The Resurrection of all the dead and the Transfiguration of the living — the trumpet of the archangel sounds, the bodies rise up, the souls are joined to them in fullness (1 Thess. 4:16, 1 Cor. 15). All stand before Christ in His glory, with the angels.
2. The gathering of all the nations and the appearance of the Judge — Christ sits on the throne of His glory (Matt. 25:31). All of humanity (the living and the resurrected) gathers before Him — there is neither a secret nor a hiding place.
