Having been carted up by shadow tentacle, Wei Wuxian has his hands on... part of Chaos, technically, in a sudden enough move to startle his playing.
Which was an interesting concept, for two reasons. One, if the madcap power he'd been 'given' on this crafted, falling apart world continued to work, then he was, in theory, borrowing Chaos's... tentacle's power? By proxy. Though if Chaos is the whole of what exists here, is it borrowing from Chaos?
Two, he needed some cooperation out of Chaos anyway to be helping the people below.
"If you know what you gave us, either lend me your abilities, or lend me your resentment. I need something to use." Following that, he'd try to first, see if he can influence any falling rubble into a different form, exchanging one illusion for another (seems worth a try); second, lifting his flute to his lips and changing tone entirely, something that commands, that cajoles, that directs resentment, which is only going to work if some's lent out his way. There aren't enough resenting dead around otherwise, thus the only source of that power is Chaos's own energies themselves.
(This is why you don't bring a necromantic bard to a boss fight. Unfortunately, the necromantic bard brought himself.)
