Chapter 182 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 182

The chapter begins with the Undertaker reflecting on the 'Magic Mirror' from Snow White, noting its function as a database and AI for beauty standards, much like modern social media. The narrative then shifts to a memory from the 7th cycle, where Yu Ji-won visits the Undertaker, who was then working independently after leaving Dang Seo-rin’s guild. Yu Ji-won presents a full-length mirror she found, which, when addressed as 'Mirror, mirror,' responds with 'Please die immediately.' The Undertaker dismisses it as a simple curse and advises her to discard it. However, the curse persists; the next day, the mirror in her bathroom and subsequently the one in Dang Seo-rin’s office both deliver the same death threat. Yu Ji-won realizes the anomaly attaches itself to the first mirror she sees each day rather than a specific object. The Undertaker observes Yu Ji-won’s silver hair and refined appearance, concluding that she embodies the role of Snow White, causing the anomaly to address her specifically. He notes the mirror’s unusual passivity and its ability to speak countless languages, identifying it as an advanced AI. Centuries later, in the 41st cycle, the dynamic changes. When the Undertaker approaches the mirror, it no longer says 'Please die immediately' but instead instructs him: 'Next time, get infected with Udumbara before dying.' Tests confirm this unique response only occurs for the Undertaker; all others, including Dang Seo-rin, receive the standard death command. The Undertaker explains that Udumbara is a World Tree monster he defeated earlier, which digests hosts and deletes an Awakener’s Mini-Map ability if infected. This leads to a critical realization for Yu Ji-won: if the Undertaker were infected with Udumbara, the virus might delete his Regression ability entirely, resulting in his permanent death. The chapter ends with this terrifying theoretical possibility hanging over their conversation, highlighting the unique and potentially fatal interaction between the Undertaker and the anomaly.
