Chapter 242 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 242

In the 687th cycle of the endless apocalypse, the protagonist, known as the Undertaker, initiates the final strategic retreat as the world collapses under the assault of an Outer God. Acknowledging that the Constellations are silenced and the Eastern Holy State is crumbling, he orders Sim Ah-ryeon to abandon Saintess duties and retreat with her devoted fanatics to Busan. This move effectively ends the brainwashing operations that relied on the alias [Morning Star of the Second Coming], causing the remaining fanatics of Mo Gwang-seo to fall into hysteria as their connection to God is severed. The Undertaker notes that this heavenly voice was the last pillar of support for those who had lost everything, making their collapse inevitable. The retreat is a chaotic exodus southward to the Nakdong River. Sim Ah-ryeon brings six hundred elite Awakeners, known as the "Saintess's Guard," while Cheon Yo-hwa relocates Baekhwa Girls' High School to Busan. The journey is perilous; the world is tainted by the Void, causing travelers to stumble into strange places or hear forbidden voices. Numerous groups are stranded, such as Lee Hyun-su near Iksan and Parl Ha-byul on a snowy mountain, leading to heavy casualties despite the National Road Management Corps' rescue efforts. The loss of Yu Ji-won in the Inunaki Tunnel blinds the Undertaker’s remote observation, complicating logistics. In Busan, Noh Do-hwa coordinates the refugee intake, organizing shantytowns with strict zoning. To maintain order among the influx of refugees and original residents, the Undertaker employs Yo-hwa’s necromancy skill, NPC Creation, to turn troublemakers into docile, obedient entities, ensuring unity for survival. Simultaneously, Sim Ah-ryeon hacks the SG Net, posing as the "Collector of All Anomalies." She broadcasts a taunting message to all Awakeners, revealing that she has captured the Constellations and severed their support, painting herself as the villain. The Undertaker apologizes for forcing her into this role, knowing it endangers her sanity and could turn her into a Corrupted, but accepts it as necessary to unite humanity against a common enemy. Later, Oh Dok-seo bursts into the Undertaker’s quarters, teasing him about his bare torso and insisting on seeing him. The group gathers on the terrace of the National Road Management Corps headquarters, joined by Lee Ha-yul, Ah-ryeon, Seo-rin, and Do-hwa. They watch in silence as thousands of pillars of Sacred Fire smoke rise from every horizon, signaling the arrival of the Outer God. The scene marks the definitive end of their era as they prepare for the final confrontation.
