Chapter 176 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 176

The narrative opens in the Ark command center amidst chaos as Leviathan’s gravitational impact causes widespread injury, including Seo Gyu being crushed. Lee Ha-yul, speaking through her maid doll, reports that the citizens are suffering from the physical strain, prompting the narrator to summon his aura to reinforce the ship. Recognizing his aura reserves are depleting rapidly and insufficient to protect all sixty thousand passengers, he begins distributing the aura supplied by Awakeners from the twelve arks. Many unawakened passengers have already fainted due to the G-forces. The mythical storm dragon, Leviathan, dives toward the sea surface, causing the Ark to plummet. To mitigate the catastrophic shock of re-entry, the narrator distributes the remaining aura to reinforce the hull. As the Ark slams into the water, half of the Awakeners on board are knocked unconscious by the impact. Sim Ah-ryeon and Dang Seo-rin also lose consciousness, though the narrator endures the strain. Dang Seo-rin plays an unplanned fifth verse of her cursed song, which reinforces the Ark’s structural integrity, easing the burden on the narrator’s aura. Immediately after, water floods the command center. Lee Ha-yul attempts to bail water manually but struggles. Go Yuri intervenes, grabbing Ha-yul’s hand to help scoop the water, a gesture Ha-yul reluctantly accepts as the narrator nods in approval, needing all available hands. The narrator communicates with Jeong Ye-ji, who confirms that water levels in other isolation areas are stabilizing and there are no drowning casualties, though some suffer from water bug contamination. Suddenly, Leviathan lets out a roar infused with aura, aimed at the desperate Awakeners. The narrator recognizes the voice as Cheon Yo-hwa. Jeong Ye-ji reveals she had contacted Cheon Yo-hwa for reinforcements, falsely claiming it was the narrator’s request. Cheon Yo-hwa, the Necromancer and former basketball ace, arrives with Baekhwa High Guild members. They execute a brutal tactic: Samcheon World Guild members fly low to draw Leviathan’s attention, while Baekhwa High members drop from thousands of meters high, using themselves as human missiles to strike the dragon. The impacts are massive, forcing Leviathan back into the sea. Cheon Yo-hwa calls for immediate action. The narrator opens the hatch to view the battlefield. He discovers that Cheon Yo-hwa had leaped from the sky and stabbed directly into Leviathan’s eye, burying herself halfway into the wound while furiously attacking the monster. Leviathan goes berserk, thrashing and causing tsunamis that batter Busan. The National Road Management headquarters sways dangerously. Despite the destruction, the narrator notes darkly that this saves on city redevelopment costs, anticipating satisfaction from Noah. The chapter ends with Leviathan thrashing violently around the eye-wounded Cheon Yo-hwa and the Ark.
