The havoc that was caused was not due to God's will but rather the fallen angels, our ancestors and their choices and our choices, the reason he allows evil is to allow freewill but as God knows the final outcome He has deemed the finate suffering as worth whatever GOD has seen to be the final but infinate Good end. He couldn't just change the universes rules to fit folk that didn't align with his will but that would have meant changing himself as well and as he Is perfect to change would have been wrong. So when the consequences of Evil has been worked through to completion he will make a new fresh and Perfect universe free from those who are a malign influence in that perfect universe.
Why does freewill come with the price of evil? And if he will create a perfect universe free from those with evil tendencies in the end, could he not have done that in the beginning?
maybe you should ask him. lol but more seriously as i'm not God I can only speculate God made man different from the Angels and was meant for a different kind of relationship with God than the Angels as part of that different relationship God wanted us to Grow towards loving him with our freewill rather than an instant choice as the Angels made as they had the full picture at start. So in order to grow we had to live in Gods will as we grew. He couldn't just eliminate the possibility of us acting against his will as the essence of free will is the choice to do evil or good. In the second Universe only those who have made the choice to love God so therefore capable of living in a universe that reflects God without disturbing it will be left. The others by their own choice to choose other than God, (and as to why people would make that choice I don't know the answer) , will be sent to a place where God does not exist as they have rejected God.
