Chapter 241 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 241

The chapter opens with a late-night call to the Undertaker (Go Yuir) informing him of Yu Ji-won's sudden death. A messenger reports that Ji-won’s personal Magic Mirror shattered on its own before a person entered her quarters with the correct passphrase and killed her instantly. The Undertaker orders the messenger to inform Captain Noh Do-hwa and prepares to handle the body. The narrator reflects on the pattern of absurd, inexplicable deaths plaguing Yu Ji-won and the Saintess (Jeong Ye-ji) since the 669th cycle, when he first met Nenet and began constructing global signal towers to distribute the Sacred Fire. Initially dismissing the deaths as coincidences or anomaly-related, the Undertaker later hypothesized that the towers themselves were the trigger. In a test cycle where he withheld the towers, the deaths ceased, confirming the correlation. He then systematically expanded the network, first to the Korean Peninsula, then East Asia, noting that deaths remained absent. However, upon extending the towers to the Indian subcontinent and Eastern Europe, the Saintess was killed in a massive magnitude 9 earthquake in Seoul. Simultaneously, Yu Ji-won died in Busan after mistakenly navigating the Inunaki Tunnel, her limbs scattered. These deaths confirmed that the opposing Anomaly tolerated the network only up to East Asia. Seeking insight, the Undertaker summons Infinite Void (Cheon Yo-hwa’s split personality/outer god entity). Infinite Void confirms this is an Outer God-class Anomaly claiming territory south of the Himalayas and west of the Urals, treating the Undertaker’s expansion as a diplomatic boundary agreement. Infinite Void demands the Undertaker call it by its true name, Cheon Yo-hwa, in exchange for help, arguing that the name is inseparable from the vessel. The Undertaker refuses, citing his Complete Memory ability, which would permanently embed the name in his mind, weakening the seal on the entity across cycles. Instead of complying, he reveals his true strategy: he intends to let Infinite Void remain beside him until the end of the world. He reasons that if the opposing Outer God controls the Mastermind Syndrome, it will attempt to infect Infinite Void. Since Infinite Void is a former Outer God, it will resist, creating a conflict or "gap" between the two anomalies. This collision will distract the adversary, allowing the Undertaker to seize the opportunity to subdue or kill the enemy. Infinite Void reacts with horror at the prospect of facing an Outer God but ultimately accepts, refusing to cede any territory to the enemy. The Undertaker declares that he and Infinite Void will be the last two standing, using the anomaly's resistance as a tactical advantage to hunt down the enemies of humanity.
