The one charging toward Superbody Star with no regard for her life was Xixi Li, who had left the Academic World's flagship and boarded an inconspicuous lifeboat.
The energy aboard this miniature warship was pitifully scarce.
Forget returning home—even its lowest-grade Energy Shield could not be activated, and its life-support system could sustain its occupants in space for only a few days. Setting aside the Curvature Spacetime ability understood by beings who had mastered the Rootless Source, for a low-level life-form, traveling in this kind of Flying Device was a one-way journey.
But Xixi Li had come anyway.
The reason was simple. What was called the power of violent chaos was, in truth, the truth of disorder glimpsed by the ancient Alpha Civilization in the fundamental truths of the universe. It represented the destructive probabilities of cosmic chaos and imbalance. After realizing that Superbody Star had absorbed the Law Aura of the Star Curtain World for such a long time, she had understood: when the Star Curtain World faced the end of the world, didn't that mean the total disorder on Superbody Star was surpassing that of the Star Curtain World?
And something had to happen in the course of this "flow."

Of course, it would retaliate in kind, and the observer would be contaminated by the disorder, paying a terrible price for their ignorance.
Take Xixi Li, for example.
As her understanding of disorder deepened, it changed not only her eyes
