While Lioz and Red King discussed Lievice's origins in the Abyssal Realm, neither of them noticed a potential factor.
—Entropy Lord.
As a supreme Origin Species, Entropy Lord had no concept of death. Even after being defeated by Li Aoz and Dai Weilin on Azure Planet, it had merely changed the space in which it existed.
Its power far surpassed mortal beings who could only throw stones and gods who threw more advanced stones. Their power was mathematics, theory, philosophy, and imagination—but precisely because of that, their seemingly terrifying might sometimes lacked any real spectacle.
Yet this power, which completely reversed causality, surpassed ten thousand divine weapons and blades.
"Entropy Lord," also known as Ithofia, had no differences between individuals. Although they possessed the ability to reproduce through division, in a sense, they resembled a vast internet architecture more than anything else. Every Ithofia could exchange information in real time, even across the divide of the Star Abyss.
However, that did not mean they had truly achieved "perfection."
Just as Qualia-Direction Mirrid possessed almost no combat ability, Entropy Lord's excessively rational thinking, combined with its vast collective network, had nearly stripped it of individuality and emotional expression—but who cared? If you were part of nature itself, would you care that you had excrement and mud on your body? Even dumping waste into the sea would not provoke your anger.
Humans did not mind being naked before their pets. Entropy Lord, and even most Long-lived Species, were the same.

There was no celebration of its return, no teasing or clamor. It was merely like picking up bread and chewing
