It was a monowire. Solomon's demons were timetravelers that he bullied into becoming his servants via his highly evolved psychic talents. It's also why they had such seemingly random abilities like knowing where to find precious gems or why so many can predict the past/future. It's all historic records for them.

This is so interesting, and it sorta makes sense.
Demons (and for the same reasons angels, spirits, gods, whatever) are unbound by time and matter. To them, the entire existence of the material universe, from beginning to end, it seen entirely. It only makes sense that a consciousness unbound by a material body is also unbound by time, which is EXCLUSIVELY a material dimension which records decay and state alterations of the matter, necessarily.
