The ending basically explains why Balder did what he did. Having returned to the present after holding Loptr inside him, the evil that Loptr's soul gave off corrupted his thoughts and caused him to spur on the rest of the Witch Hunts and eventually lead to his plan in the first game. Both games loop into one another because of this.
