"Although I'm not a high-ranking member of the native Devouring Faction, I do know some issues. Our Devouring System has flaws. I don't know if these were left by the higher-ups intentionally or if they were discovered by others, but during the fight with the Boundary Breakers, they exploited these flaws."
"Just that alone wouldn't have made things so bad, the worst outcome would have been our defeat, but the turning point was the hidden Equilibrium Faction. Their explosions directly disrupted some kind of balance, leading the Devouring System and the flaws exploited by the Boundary Breakers to spiral out of control."
