Chapter 177 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 177

In the midst of a chaotic battle against the colossal sea dragon Leviathan, Cheon Yo-hwa is pulled into its eye by millions of water-shaped bugs. The Undertaker (mc_spoken) attempts to rescue her but finds her body stuck in a crevice filled with these bugs. Yo-hwa pleads for the release of Infinite Void's seal to gain power, but the Undertaker refuses, fearing Infinite Void will take over her body and manipulate others, as happened in a previous cycle. He recalls how Yo-hwa’s fingers turned into bugs and feels a premonition linking the keywords 'eye,' 'bug,' and 'mosquito.' The Undertaker uses his dark aura to burn the bugs, but they regenerate instantly. Just as he considers sacrificing his aura to save her, time freezes. Footsteps approach, and Go Yuri appears, whispering that Leviathan is a dragon. The world resumes, and the Undertaker realizes the truth: like in the legend of the painter who left dragon eyes blank to keep them from flying, Leviathan’s eyes are the seals keeping it earthbound. Without sight, a dragon cannot recognize itself or its surroundings. He commands Jeong Ye-ji to read Kafka’s *The Metamorphosis* to Yo-hwa, instructing her to repeat every word. The Undertaker uses his aura to blindfold Leviathan’s eyes. As Yo-hwa reads the story of Gregor Samsa transforming into an insect, the Undertaker reasons that since Leviathan treats humans as parasites (like the bug in the Saintess’s eye that turned her into a potato), Leviathan itself must transform into a bug when a 'parasite' enters its eye. The synchronized voices of Yo-hwa and Jeong Ye-ji complete the incantation, and as the word 'insect' is spoken, the world shakes, marking the completion of the ritual.
