Chapter 212 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 212

The chapter begins with the Undertaker reflecting on Yu Ji-won’s immense political power in Korea before transitioning to his current location: a sparse, map-covered room adjacent to Noh Do-hwa’s quarters. Here, the Undertaker is accompanied by the Saintess (Jeong Ye-ji). They examine a 'Magic Mirror,' which the Undertaker identifies as a gateway to the Hidden World, though it remains inert due to his active Time Stop ability. The Saintess, who perceives reality through a fixed 'third-person omniscient' perspective after 2,000 years of isolation, struggles to relate to human concepts like the game *StarCraft*, prompting a brief, awkward exchange about memory and age. She reveals that physical touch is crucial for her sense of existence, as visual omniscience makes personal boundaries indistinct. The Undertaker wraps her in a blanket, uncovers the mirror, and requests a two-second resumption of time to test its connectivity. Upon release, the mirror verbally threatens them with 'Please die immediately' but offers no physical passage. To expand their team, the Saintess briefly releases time to summon Tutorial Fairy No. 264 and Yu Ji-won back into the room, a feat of speed the Undertaker notices but chooses not to comment on. He instructs the terrified Fairy to construct a dream within Ji-won’s sleep, using the mirror as the entry point. The Fairy initially resists, fearing mental collapse from the Saintess’s presence, but agrees after being promised sausages. They enter Ji-won’s dream, where she is initially frozen until the Saintess lifts her power. Ji-won, aware she is dreaming, engages in flattering banter with the Undertaker, praising his ability to see her 'true nature.' The Undertaker directs her attention to the mirror. Standing together—Undertaker, Saintess, Ji-won, and the Fairy—the mirror repeatedly issues its death threat. On the Undertaker’s signal, he and the Saintess place their hands on the glass. Instead of breaking the surface, their wrists pass through the mirror as if it were liquid, accompanied by shattering sounds interpreted as the Outer God’s reaction. The Saintess reacts with a rare aura flare. Hand in hand, they step through. Inside, the Undertaker freezes time again to halt the noise. When time resumes, they find themselves in Seoul Station, surrounded by stone-like frozen crowds under a monochrome sky. Above, the Outer God Nut hangs motionless in the sky, marking their successful transit into the Hidden World.
