Genitives in Revelation 11:15

Hello. I have a question about the genitive phrases in Revelation 11:15:
Ἐγένετο ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ κόσμου τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν καὶ τοῦ χριστοῦ αὐτοῦ
How do we know that τοῦ κυρίου does not modify τοῦ κόσμου? (Something awkward like "the kingdom of the world of [our] Lord"? I understand an implied βασιλεία as the object of Ἐγένετο but I'm wanting to understand how to know to apply τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν καὶ τοῦ χριστοῦ αὐτοῦ to this implied object.
