Chapter 217 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 217

The narrator (Undertaker) clarifies his hierarchical dominance over Infinite Void, rejecting any notion of betrayal. He presents a paper reading 'self-awareness' to Infinite Void, confirming his suspicion that the entity is vulnerable to regression and has predictable behavior patterns across cycles. Infinite Void, wearing Cheon Yo-hwa’s appearance, complains about being the 'heroine' but accepts the fate. The narrator commands Infinite Void to change from Baekhwa Girls' High white sailor uniform to black, which it does via static manipulation. The narrator then reveals a second paper, 'intelligence,' and tears it up, explaining he removed Infinite Void’s higher cognitive functions to prevent it from analyzing his moves beyond basic randomness. He proposes a plan to dive into lucid dreams of past cycles, starting from the 250th, to verify if any 'monsters' or regressors appeared in earlier cycles like the 4th, a precaution against the 'Brain in a Vat' hypothesis. Infinite Void critiques the logic but agrees. They enter the 250th cycle dream, where they encounter the Undertaker of that era, who is reading Hegel’s *Phenomenology of Spirit*. The dream-Undertaker tests them by asking passwords ('Café au lait' and 'Schopenhauer'). Upon correct answers, the dream-Undertaker commits suicide instantly, proving the narrator’s strength and reality. This process repeats for the 200th, 150th, 100th, and 50th cycles. While the narrator remains unaffected, Infinite Void suffers severe physical distress, vomiting rainbow static that regenerates into miniature versions of itself before vanishing. As they delve deeper, Infinite Void realizes this is not a dream but the narrator’s domain, a corrupted echo of the Divine Realm he destroyed at Baekhwa Girls' High. It notes the environment drains HP/MP and feels like a void. The chapter ends with Infinite Void holding the narrator's hand, its red eyes reflecting his face, identical to the dead Undertakers they have just observed, suggesting a disturbing continuity or transformation.
