The final enemy, the Entropy Beast , loomed—a swirling vortex of disorder, devouring order and energy. Clara remembered the Second Law of Thermodynamics ( Santillana’s "Energy" Unit ): entropy always increases. But she realized the labyrinth’s energy could be harnessed. She channeled all the stored potential energy from the caverns and the forest into a beam. "Energy can’t be destroyed—just transformed!" she shouted, firing the beam. The beast dissolved into a cloud of exothermic energy.
