It might observe its tissue dissolving and scattering across the multiverse and might try and find a way to stop it, or it might not even care. There is even a chance it would remain semi coherant through it's scattered particles and make an effort to scatter them further. Random thought: The idea of the Great Wheel as a gyroscope. It spins a delicate balance with Icy Law that would crystallize the multiverse on first contact and the Final Chaos of the Far Realm that would melt it down. Both Law and Chaos in D&D are sanitized extractions of their true concepts. Law holds the worlds together [rather than solidifying them], chaos greases the wheels [rather than continually dissolving and reforming them]. Good and evil have their squabbles as do the diluted minions of Law and Chaos and the Great wheel spins happily. Though sometimes something seeps through. Maybe it is an accident, maybe the multiverse lets a bit of far realm slip through to tip the balance prevent Everything from being Lost to the Final Law. But no matter the cause, that is when Chaos shows it’s real face.  Either way, once the cosmic balance goes, the far realm and Crystallizing law mix and bubble and brew until something cosmically strong enough has the desire to create another reality.</blockquote>
