I'd say afterward is the answer, because "in other words" doesn't mean after or then.. "All things considered" isn't really meaning after, furthermore doesn't mean after either. Then we lead to afterward, which literally has the word AFTER in it.
If an essay is order Chronologically, then it is more or less like steps. So we would want a(n) transitional phrase that sounds like it could fit into a step process. That would be "Afterward," This phrase is most likely to show up in a chronological essay than the others. If you look at the others they are all shadowing further elaboration on something.
