Chapter 6: On the polluted earth

"It" has been living inside the earth for a long time. Without moving, only ingesting polluted substance inside the soiled earth, for a long time.

Maybe "it" doesn't even have a sense of time, living beneath the surface without even feeling discomfort, moving slightly between sleeping and awake to eat soil, time is wasted away in slumber.

However, the time to wake-up is soon to come. Since "It" is already in Mature Form, living by consuming polluted substance is possible. But the offspring is different. Since larvae form is intolerant to polluted substance, they can't digest it. That's why they need unpolluted nutrient.

The time for sleeping is over, in order to thrive. With the cracking sound of the earth, the signal to awaken is ringing.
