Looks like when she was colonising the Moon in her dimension she also setup something to only get triggered in an emergency in this dimension.
Her core is currently 2 Earths (minimum she might have popped out a new energy world or two given her love of exponential growth) + 1.125 moons and a large number of satellite and solar sails in earth orbit.

To be fair, the general's reaction was upon seeing the blueprints for her sunstone ships. He was leading the ambush fleet, so he didn't see Addy turn the moon into more of herself yet.
But I really want to see Appa's PoV after this XD.

A race of incomprehensible, many-limbed, Lovecraftian seers all praising their imminent deaths at the hands of this vast thing subsuming the entire moon, a thing which barely even notices its horde of impossible celebrants until after already killing half their number is just... god, that whole sequence with the Zurgill was so wonderfully freaky.
We stan Eldritch Abomination Addy.
We stan Eldritch Abomination Addy.
Addy is now a 4 rock and 3 universe individual; as far as I can tell her core covers an entire planet; I'm not sure if Addy has moved or duplicated any of her infrastructure yet, but I believe that was being planned.
I can't imagine Addy not being interested in establishing redundancy; if she loses her second planet, she starves; if she loses her first, she loses vital infrastructure to rebuild.
I imagine that she's reshuffled some components by now, at a minimum I would expect that she has enough power collection on her core world not to starve, and enough infrastructure on the second world to build servitors, open a breach, and rebuild any lost infrastructure from the designs.

I'm sure that was entirely unintentional on the part of the white martians.
So, here is the situation as I understand it:
The live wire is covering an eighth of the Moon which allows it to absorb any energy that is shot at it. This includes yellow emotional energy. A fact that probably will be very bad for everyone involved unless Leslie keeps that in check.
Addy unleashed her drones and is now aware that there is a yellow equivalent to the green emotional energy power that she was interested in. And the live wire has access to it, so that means that Addy probably has all the data she needs on that energy. This might be especially problematic, since the dumb fucks in me sinestro corps brought their yellow power battery to Earth.
An eighth of the Moon being covered is likely to wreak all sorts of havoc on Earth's biosphere even just from the change in the hue of the reflected light. Assuming of course that light even gets reflected by this new purple growth and isn't swallowed entirely by the live wire in its greed. It might be possible for live wire to remove the growth, but the live wire would probably have to want to.
The Daxamites are heading exactly into Addy's trap.
All non-psychic species on Earth are now aware just how fucking terrifying Addy really is. No one (in power, other than the DEO and whoever they told) knows the live wire exists.

Why do you think it's the Live Wire on the moon?
It was given another planet to grow on, and IIRC Addy's sunstone is blue rather than red, not to mention that it wouldn't be far-stretched for Addy to be able to absorb the energy of attacks, even without the Live Wire helping out.

Partly because I think Live Wire would be super enthusiastic about any possible option to absorb energy, and partly because I think it would do so the most efficiently, and even though Addy isn't Halbeard, she does prize efficiency.

Agh, throughout that entire Zurgill section I was just hoping that they would make best friend bracelets with Addy, the one entity who might be able to communicate with them and provide them an actual peer. Instead the only gift she could give was a mercy killing.
On another note, wow, truly carrying on Taylor's legacy. How many people on Team Defense knew about this ahead of time? It was a fantastic trap, and such a monstrous display of strength that suddenly the Daxamites feel like much less of a threat.

I really don't get the Live Wire hypothesis at all. Just to start, from the Martian POV, we know it's part of Addy. The Live Wire isn't part of her anymore, and we even had her preparing to do this several chapters ago.

The Martians don't know about the existence of The Live Wire though. So they're unreliable narrators.
The second point is really good though.
Well, at least the Titanians did. Presumably Earth too since we saw Addy you know, tell some people about her plan in broad strokes (like the drones). The Martians don't seem to have been informed.

They could also be playing entity, Addy doesn't need to be live wire to use her powers, which is the purpose the entities had for having shards.
So Addy using Live Wire powers doesn't point on it being Live Wire.
Could the Zurgill be the DC/Supergirl's Universe's equivalent of the entities? One where they decided to be refugees rather than omnicidal space whales? The tidbit where they started out as 11 and were always 11 in the higher dimensions doesn't fit, and the way they collectivized? not formed a hive mind seems different. It's a funny idea. Though I guess just being originally higher dimensional beings could be why they could [SPEAK] space whale and a common origin is not necessary.

The entities started growing after they agreed to leave their planet, consuming each other's in ways they didn't do before, where before they gathered only resources, now they joined their bodies together to get everything of the loser, the process was unsustainable (leading to unfeasible increase in energy consumption), and they knew it (which is why they didn't do it before than).
I am guessing this was the entities inventing shards, as well as part of the agreement to keep them alive, there would be two entities surviving the planet, but the others will be part of them.
The problems with those creatures being entities is that the entities had two things defining them on that world, the first was that their planet was wrong, reality was broken in a way that naturally created tears in reality, tears the proto entities studied to develop their dimensional abilities, the second is that they had powers.
Crawler, Ashley, Sting, all some examples of powers they had.
If the different physics led to different reality, meaning their planet didn't have natural tears for them to study, the entities may have developed in a different lesser direction, but than they wouldn't be the entities, like asking what if the astroid that killed the dinosaurs didn't hit earth, it wouldn't be humans that would become sapients, that's for sure.

Maybe, but the Live Wire's powers are incredibly basic. So basic that it's probably just something that every Shard have, beyond their specialization.
Addy can open dimensional breaches, doesn't mean that she's "pulling" on the Doormaker shard or any equivalent shard to make it.
Not to mention that she covered her second Earth in solar panel and geothermal plants, meaning she already has demonstrated the ability of turning various energy sources into, well, energy, alongside just consuming matter directly to make energy.

doesn't make sense. There were only 11 zurgill rather than attempting to spread endlessly and they mention there where lots of different types of multidimensional beings so there isn't anything unique connecting them.

Also being super tough and adsorbing energy attacks is just a native property of sunstone. If it is absorbing anything and not just being super tough.

…I just forgot that she had given the live wire it's own earth, it wasn't anything more complex than that.

That would have been a dick move.
"Live Wire here is the ability to be free and grow into your own being. Now go occupy that undersized rock which isn't in a nice safe isolated universe."
Oh, it isn't that bad, she hasn't demonstrably "mastered" broken sun radiation, she just lives in the stuff and produces it as a waste-product... which is kinda disgusting now that I think about it...
On the other hand, once word gets out about Broken Sun the Second, official sanctions from the wider cosmos may become a threat...

Honestly, I'm more worried about someone in the universe where her main body is stored noticing exotic radiation and, instead of getting away as far as possible as any sane being would, attempt to study its source. You know, like a scientist, those madpeople.

That she didn't use it yet in any complex way doesn't mean she doesn't have a clue how, there were probably shards made for it, but she should probably know the basic on how to work something her body naturally produce.
