Chapter 163 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 163

The narrator, known as the Undertaker, arrives at a chaotic brawl in Busan beneath the giant Potato Saintess Robot Statue. The scene is dominated by religious fervor as various Awakeners, representing different constellations, clash violently. Groups loyal to Sim Ah-ryeon (Eastern Holy Empire), Jeong Ye-ji (Saintess), and Dang Seo-rin (Samcheon World Guild) fight over territory and theological supremacy, with flags bearing symbols like [Great Library], [Dream Casino], and Pokémon images visible. The Undertaker, having just dodged a chokehold from Noh Do-hwa, intervenes in the skirmish. He first encounters Sim Ah-ryeon, who is ostensibly healing the wounded but is revealed to be a zealot leading Eastern Holy Paladins from Pyongyang. She justifies her presence by claiming the Morning Star of the Second Coming is real and that truth is determined by purpose, even violently striking a patient to prove her point. The Undertaker, disgusted by their intolerance and the fake nature of their deity, knocks out Sim Ah-ryeon’s followers and subdues her with a traditional Russian healing blow. He learns from her that the conflict was instigated by Dang Seo-rin’s faction, the 'Witch Judge,' who declared other constellations heretical, causing a territorial dispute over the Inunaki Tunnel, now a casino and 'sacred ground.' The Undertaker then moves deeper into the conflict, encountering more factions, including a 'Fluffy Alliance' of animal-worshippers. He efficiently incapacitates all remaining combatants, including Dang Seo-rin and Cheon Yo-hwa, within twenty minutes. His true target is the interior of the Potato Saintess Robot Statue. He shatters the entrance and confronts the living Potato Saintesses inside. Initially resistant, the potatoes plead their case, claiming their revolution aimed to make humans happy and expressing resignation to their fate. The Undertaker reveals he has reverse-engineered the anomaly that turned them into vegetables three years prior. He explains the cause was a morphological association: the Saintess, as an 'Observer' (감시자), suffered a bug injury to her eye, linking her title to 'Potato' (감자) via the missing character. Consequently, a bug spray successfully reversed the transformation, returning the Saintesses to human form. He then visits Jeju Island to capture a final, exiled Potato Saintess, identified as Fairy No. 264. The potato confesses that becoming a plant was a subconscious desire to passively accept the world's pain and escape interference. The Undertaker rejects this fatalistic view, affirming that her essence remains human regardless of form. The chapter concludes with the Undertaker tending to the captured potato, which enjoys being watered with coffee, marking a rare moment of gratitude and calm.
