Chapter 17: Obey or Die (Part 2)
[Judgement Failed!]
[Conducting 190,187 Judgements——]
[Hao Entropy Usurpation——Failed!]
[Hao Entropy Usurpation——Critical Failure!]
[You are being stripped of conceptual recognition——Hao Entropy Usurpation! Critical Failure]
[Judgement Failed!]
Among the 190,187 various checks, only 290 bloodline-related checks passed due to the passive effect of [Bloodline] Arcane Energy.
A large number of checks were bypassed entirely due to interference from Lord Entropy's power, defaulting to failure.
Rules become fragmented; regardless of how oppressive the attributes may be, it is meaningless.
If Arcane Energy is the mandate, then Lord Entropy's power is the hardware infrastructure of authority, a part of this universe.
This is the power of altering order... the power of entropy.
In fact, such power has no range limitation; as long as Ersha can continuously spread, it can keep extending infinitely with precision, range, and destructive force.
No matter how strong you are, when facing Lord Entropy, you must bow your head like a fledgling child before the societal rules of the banquet table.
Breaking the rules and twisting the rules, is in itself a rule.
Countless negative buffs instantly fell upon Li Aozi.
[Cold Blood] Decreased body temperature, [Loss of Evil] Maximum life reduction, [Deterrence] Lower evasion rate, [Invincible Penetration] Invincibility/Dominator Body effect not applicable, [Life Imprisonment] Cannot evade sudden death, [Wind Vein] Main Attribute theft, [Weathering] Armor stripping, [Delay] Decreased action continuity, [Lawful Correction] Time jump prohibition…
Li Aozi's body suddenly became extremely heavy, and he could feel his life slipping away second by second, with a significant increase in the consumption of helium and hydrogen elements within his body, losing 25 years of life per minute, truly burning life.
The rules were all thrown into chaos.
Originally, according to physical laws, once fusion starts, it cannot be reversed, but inside him, a large amount of matter remained unignited despite high temperature and pressure, and sometimes the photonic neural pathways would suddenly gain weight, causing his body to be riddled with holes.
〖Humanity will not unify just because of your call.〗
Lord Entropy's voice suddenly rang in his ears, with no emotional fluctuations regarding his actions.
Compared to Merid, His lifespan is even longer, the strong power overwhelming the existence of Zhi Xiang.
And naturally even more ruthless.
Lord Entropy never showed any intention of destroying Li Aozi; He is like a calm, quiet dark pool, neither rejoicing in things nor grieving over oneself.
Because all these rules exist for Lord Entropy.
As long as there is movement, entropy will stack; as long as entropy exists, Lord Entropy will not disappear from this world, and so long as He does not disappear, entropy accumulation remains under His control.
This is the rule.
Just as the hierarchy categorizes different classes and ages, the ancient Lord Entropy is the most fundamental and original law, predating the Starry Abyss.
This planet is His possession, and this universe seems to have been born for Him.
〖No one can trespass the rules.〗
Li Aozi struggled a bit, but was in fact quietly confirming the source of this power.
Even though Lord Entropy is incomparably powerful, He has a fatal flaw—He is not a living being.
The primordial is not biological, has no concept of life and death, in this aspect, Lord Entropy is the same as Merid.
In other words, precisely because They are not biological, They require a certain existence to remain in this universe.
Merid needs weak force to maintain the changing form to exist in this universe and be observed and touched.
As for Lord Entropy—Li Aozi had known from the very start.
"Ersha."
The force trapping him was entirely from the full release of Ersha, and Lord Entropy slowly consumed his nuclear fuel, draining him completely.
A very clever approach, Lord Entropy obviously noticed his undying ability, knowing it was impossible to kill him immediately, so instead, He consumed his fuel, trapping him forever.
However, this is precisely the key to breaking the situation.
Lord Entropy's move, in Li Aozi's previous life—oh, is 'Seed of the Starry Abyss' Lord Xides, was already seen clearly on the rehearsed timeline.
As long as Lord Entropy makes the first move, He is destined to lose.
[Using all the power to wear down my life means there's no strength left to guard the Azure Star.]
——In other words, at this moment, the encirclement of Azure Star by Ersha is at its weakest point, once the Ersha in Azure Star's atmosphere is removed, Azure Star will be completely liberated.
The curse of the Layer Abyss is that each planet will limit individual strength.
At the moment Azure Star is liberated, Lord Entropy will be expelled.
Lord Entropy is not worried that anyone can coordinate with Li Ao to achieve this; only by relying on players, it is impossible to accomplish this feat.
He knows all too well the nature of this Starry Abyss, this universe, and the people on this planet, mortals will never unite, and it is indeed the case.
Even the Narrative Civilization is unwilling to put in the effort to help mortals remove the Ersha Sky Curtain and provoke Lord Entropy, preferring instead to blow up the planet entirely, eliminating all problems at once.
Wherever Lord Entropy is, He is the rule.
However, no one stipulated that as long as a rule exists, it must be followed.
「Lord Entropy, do you know my nickname?」
The skull face of flame grinned:
「Usurper Tyrant.」
With that, Li Aozi immediately switched to a smaller character, and the Invincible True General's eyes lit up, proceeding with the team.
Caramel Snail glanced back at him, saw nothing unusual, just a recruited NPC reciting a few lines, scratched his head, and continued forward.
