Chapter 362 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 362

In the silent void of space, Hecate’s violet eyes fade to ash, revealing a stark separation between her and the 'Dang Seo-rin' lodged in Oh Dok-seo’s heart. Hecate declares she will kill the 'thorns' in Dok-seo’s heart—the fragmented echoes of Seo-rin that failed to survive. As Hecate strikes a mirror-smooth lunar surface with her broom, tens of thousands of magic circles bloom, launching pitch-black, rotting hands at the raiding party. Ji-won and the narrator parry dozens of slashes, but the sheer volume overwhelms them. A black hand clamps onto Ji-won’s wrist, spreading a rapid rotting curse. Sim Ah-ryeon attempts to heal the wound, but the curse bypasses her magic because the hands are perfect biological clones of the party members; healing the wound also heals the attacking hand. Ji-won calmly severs her own rotting arm, which instantly regrows via her Leviathan power. Cheon Yo-hwa similarly amputates her own infected foot to stop the spread, explaining that the curse is an 'Infection' trait derived from Hecate’s stockpiled citizen data from Utopia. Dok-seo panics, attempting to use 'Absolute Defense,' but the narrator recognizes Hecate’s strategy is to drain the defense’s energy. Lee Ha-yul intervenes, using thin puppet strings charged with Ji-won’s Aura to unleash a sweeping 'Collaborator Princess’s Killing Field,' harvesting millions of hands in one flash. Ha-yul warns against careless movement, jokingly threatening to decapitate anyone who moves blindly. The narrator seizes the gap, using the Water-Lily Step to glide over Leviathan’s water and rush Hecate. Ha-yul’s wires distract Hecate, who dismisses them as cheap tricks and slashes the web. However, this is a feint; Ji-won has swum beneath the surface and emerges behind Hecate, grappling her. The narrator arrives and swings Do-hwa, the 'God-Slayer' sword, striking both Hecate and Ji-won simultaneously. The blade, lacquered with hundreds of divine deaths, pierces Hecate, nearly erasing her, while severing Ji-won’s lower body. Ah-ryeon heals Ji-won’s stump with lilies, regrowing her legs. As the team celebrates, the narrator realizes Hecate is not truly defeated. Flashbacks reveal Dang Seo-rin’s synesthesia: she hears the 'songs' of the universe, including the celestial bodies. The narrator deduces that Hecate has not been chanting but has pre-recorded a cursed chorus across the void, using the planets as resonators. This 'silent choruses' are unbearable noise to humans, which is why Hecate fled to the moon. The missing celestial bodies—Uranus and Neptune—confirm the full cosmic symphony. The narrator shouts that the planets themselves are polluted shells singing the magic. Instantly, meteoroids with eyes blink into existence from the planetary shadows, and a massive meteor shower begins, targeting the party.
