Chapter 258 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 258

The Undertaker considers deploying another 5,000 Go Yuris to obliterate the Mastermind but decides against it, recognizing the previous attack as a unique miracle that would likely be anticipated if repeated. He confirms with the Admin of the Infinite Metagame that the Mastermind has 666 simulation universes left. The Undertaker mocks the Mastermind's transformation from a celestial kingdom into a hellscape, noting its resemblance to the Beast of Revelation. Infinite Void, currently inhabiting Cheon Yo-hwa's body, corrects this perspective, arguing that the Undertaker himself defined the realm as hell by labeling it so and attacking it, rather than the Mastermind choosing that identity. Despite Infinite Void's awkward attempt at a joke about formal speech, the Undertaker orders the consolidation of all 666 brain tanks. As the brains converge, they whisper temptations to the Undertaker, offering the power to reshape reality and control the 'fog of war' in exchange for acceptance. Infinite Void and the Admin actively seduce him, offering a 'normal ending' where he gains god-like control over anomalies and can prevent real-world tragedies, such as the annihilation of Seoul. The hallucination shifts to a nostalgic vision of Emit Schopenhauer reuniting with Adele, illustrating the emotional payoff of his choices. The Mastermind offers the final piece of the puzzle: becoming an anomaly himself to gain absolute power while hiding his true nature from his companions, allowing them all to live ordinary lives. The Undertaker is shown a vision of his companions' healed traumas, but sees Noh Do-hwa standing apart, smiling with dark intent. She whispers that she awaits him in his 'true Bad Ending' and places her monocle in his pocket, using Complete Memory to etch the moment into his mind. The illusion shatters. The Undertaker firmly refuses the offer, stating he has a prior appointment for his own ending and acknowledging his responsibility to those he has brought into his world. Infinite Void expresses bitter regret at being too late, and the temptation vanishes. The Undertaker resolves to exterminate the Mastermind, and Infinite Void suggests a new strategy.
