>To say that the ascended Murder Drones were upset at the Solver's return is liking saying Death Valley is dry. Yes, even J, who despite her past as The Quisling had learned the Absolute Solver was not the winning side and too messed up for her. Sadly they weren't too surprised as the Lich had commented an interest in the Absolute Solver's work. Its attempts to turn Uzi into a potential vessel for itself only lead her to resist to its control over her, and ultimately, to eat its essence and subdue it within herself. As such, the Eldritch Abomination can't exactly go back to the old "possess and infect Worker Drones" strat, but it has not stopped it from pulling all sorts of sadistic mind games, throwing their past traumas and failures's back at them. Very Envy-like, who by the way was kind of excited to see the Solver ascend but at the same time has no reason to want the "exponential end" so as much as they get along this is a bar into becoming full-on allies. It is also a factor as to why, despite enjoying the entity's sadism and admiring Cyn's annihilation of humanity, AM has reservations as it seeks humans left to torment and express his boundless loathing and jealousy upon them. Of course, as the Absolute Solver correctly assumed, AM's outlooks on Cruel Mercy are because with no-one to focus his destructive impulses on he'd have nothing.
