Chapter 281 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 281

Chapter 281 chronicles the latter stages and conclusion of the AwakenCup tournament, marked by chaotic combat and absurd outcomes. The chapter opens with the match between Oh Dok-seo and Manyo Neko. Neko activates an AT Field defense, rendering Dok-seo’s magic ineffective until she exploits a loophole by flying, then dropping to defeat Neko with a 'Nyanpunch.' Dok-seo suffers a disgraceful exit, booed by the crowd. Next, Lee Ha-yul faces Phantom Blade. Both competitors lack speech abilities and limbs (Ha-yul lacks legs; Phantom Blade lacks arms). Ha-yul utilizes puppet strings to cocoon and hoist her opponent, securing a victory that delights the audience despite later accusations of bias from the SG Net administrator. In a subsequent bout, Lee Baek fights Seo Gyu. The match devolves into a violent, low-level brawl driven by mutual hatred, with Seo Gyu winning decisively. The quarterfinals feature the highly anticipated clash between Dang Seo-rin and Cheon Yo-hwa. The pre-match atmosphere is hostile, with Samcheon’s fans using grapefruit-scented fireworks to taunt Baekhwa, while Baekhwa supporters dismantle witch costumes to reveal sailor uniforms and burn a doll, chanting anti-train slogans. When the match begins, Seo-rin and Yo-hwa engage in a bitter, sanitized verbal exchange before resorting to physical combat. After forty minutes of exhausting aura usage, the fight becomes a primal brawl. Yo-hwa pins Seo-rin in dogeza, forcing a submission while gnawing on Yo-hwa’s ankle. Yo-hwa claims victory, earning a standing ovation from the crowd as Samcheon’s fans are too battered to cheer. The aftermath sees Fairy No. 264 destroyed while intervening in the post-match chaos. Sim Ah-ryeon heals the injured. In the Finals, the narrator, Undertaker, introduces the 'Potato Mask' as the mysterious final competitor. The Saintess (Jeong Ye-ji) appears, distinguished from Sim Ah-ryeon by her deeper recluse. In a shocking conclusion, the Potato Mask defeats Cheon Yo-hwa in one second with an unexplained force, securing the title of world's strongest Awakener. The tournament ends with the Colosseum in ruins and the narrator expressing relief that the event is over.
