Chapter 243 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell
Chapter 243
The narrative opens with the systematic destruction of humanity's signal towers across the Korean peninsula, signaled by smoke pillars fading from the sky like extinguishing candles. A scout from Samcheon World reports that Sejong and Daejeon have fallen to a Monster Wave, leaving Busan as the final stronghold. The protagonist, a regressor, observes the tension among comrades facing their first and only apocalypse. As the last smoke pillar vanishes, a terrifying anomaly bell tolls thirteen times, transforming the sky into a canvas of crimson and flattening the earth's geography, signaling the end of natural law. The protagonist commands all soldiers not to look at the sky, emphasizing the mental fortitude drilled into them through Project Kingdom simulations. The Monster Wave arrives, led by the Hollow—anomalies formed from unburied corpses that mimic human familial bonds and voices to unsettle enemies. A massive seventy-story Hollow, composed of fused flesh and limbs, leads the charge. Sim Ah-ryeon, wearing the robes of the Saintess, begins to chant, unleashing the skill 'Hundred Blooming Blossoms,' which heals all wounds and regrows limbs across Busan, bolstering morale. The Saintess's Guard, along with other guild members, charges the Hollow. The battle is psychological and physical; the Hollow screams with the voices of victims, causing hesitation. However, Dang Seo-rin’s singing shifts into the Third Melody, instilling absolute resolve and erasing doubt. The Awakeners, now fully committed, slaughter the Hollow. Despite the Anomaly's desperate, grotesque resistance, the coordinated assault succeeds. Ah-ryeon’s healing magic ensures zero casualties for humanity. The opening engagement ends in a decisive victory, but the protagonist notes that the defeated Hollow was merely one ten-billionth of the approaching wave, and Ah-ryeon is rapidly approaching corruption from the strain of her power.
