Bologue gazed at the vast, bottomless excavation well, and visions of its past glory surfaced before him.
"It was here that they drilled through the earth's crust, unearthed the primordial substance, and from it created the embryo of the Soulless."
Once, large drilling machines roared on the surface here, enormous drill bits spinning rapidly to cut through the crust, with rubble and rock fragments scattering like the magnificent fireworks of flying sparks.
"As the drill bit continuously advanced, the crust was slowly penetrated... If King Solomon could calculate the rate of ether's erosion of substance, he could even deduce from the depth at which the earth was eroded when the ether first touched the Material Realm."
As a scholar, Aimou noticed more details from this than Bologue did, "As for the Soulless, I'm not sure what they're for, but I think they're quite suitable for making deals with the Devil."
