Chapter 131 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 131

Go Yuri attempts to reassure the MC that she is merely an illusion born from his subconscious, a manifestation of his fears and aversions. She argues that her presence is logically inconsistent with reality, as she exists in a dream space 600 meters underground or on a cloud, and notes that the MC never accepted the title of 'guild leader,' which she only holds in her memories. While the MC remains highly suspicious, viewing her as a potential threat comparable to a friendly UFO ambassador, he acknowledges he cannot escape and must rely on her guidance or the Tutorial Fairies. He sets strict conditions for her assistance: she must not try to win his favor, get too close, or kill Baku without warning, or she will flee. Go Yuri accepts these terms, though she hints at a hidden complication regarding the dangers of the location. Upon exiting Busan Station, the environment dissolves into a void where physical laws and space-time are distorted. The MC struggles to maintain his self-awareness against the psychological pressure, focusing intensely on his path while ignoring hallucinations like crying grass. He marvels that Go Yuri can navigate this realm so easily. He soon encounters his first major nightmare: the National Road Management Corps Headquarters, transformed into a Tower of Babel. Dang Seo-rin is crucified and singing eternally, while Sim Ah-ryeon joins her below, also crucified. Go Yuri explains this is a 'perpetual motion machine' where Dang Seo-rin’s lifespan is endlessly burned to fuel the dream, with Sim Ah-ryeon refueling it upon death. Driven by horror, the MC destroys the tower, silencing their song and watching them vanish into dust, though Go Yuri notes one cannot truly kill dreams. She identifies this as a 'trash bin of possibilities'—a repository of bad endings and unwanted futures. The scenery shifts to a white sand desert in Sejong City, where Cheon Yo-hwa and Lee Ha-yul are chatting cheerfully over the body of the 'Undertaker.' Go Yuri warns that these versions are extremely corrupted anomalies capable of destroying the world. Ignoring the warning, the MC approaches them. Their expressions instantly go blank. He embraces them tightly, telling them to go home, and their forms crumble into a sandstorm, leaving him on a cracked asphalt road. Go Yuri expresses astonishment at his mental fortitude, asking why he never fully lets go of reality. The MC internally reflects that his strength comes not just from himself, but from the memory of others who have crumbled before him. Suddenly, sensing a severe threat, the MC sees Emit Schopenhauer approaching from the ruins. Go Yuri warns that he is one of the most perilous beings in the apocalyptic world, an 'Awakener' and 'Sword Demon' whose aura is now incomparably more powerful than when he was alive.
