Chapter 41 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 41

The narrator, Mr. Undertaker, reflects on a chilling hypothesis: anomalies are not external invasions but mutations of human 'awakeners.' He notes that if an awakener possesses a transformative ability, such as the mother and child who birthed the Udumbara virus in Asan, their power could manifest as a monstrous anomaly. He compares the physical horrors of the Ten Legs and the Saintess’s telepathic observation to standard monster traits, concluding that from an outsider's perspective, both awakened humans and anomalies are equally terrifying. This philosophical musing is interrupted by the Saintess, who casually confirms she killed the aforementioned individuals. She reveals her motivation: she fabricated the Constellation system—a network of non-existent divine watchers—to instill anxiety in awakeners and restrain their criminal impulses. However, because her telepathy only affects awakeners, she created a separate fear mechanism for ordinary civilians. The Saintess explains that society is full of 'beasts masquerading as humans,' and she executes those who harm others, claiming she has never regretted her actions. She questions Undertaker’s morality, arguing that his ability to regress allows villains to repeatedly offend and be forgiven, whereas his victims endure endless suffering without recourse. The conversation turns hostile as the Saintess advances on Undertaker, stating that while he may succeed in saving the world, he wrongly grants villains second chances. She declares her intent to create a 'small hell' by eternally punishing sinners across every regression cycle, refusing to let her efforts be undermined by villains benefiting from his resets. Undertaker realizes her sudden combat readiness and the source of her overwhelming power. Recalling a past conversation where she hinted at a secret ability beyond Clairvoyance and Telepathy, he deduces she possesses [Time Stop]. This explains how she monitored numerous awakeners simultaneously and her current ability to dodge his attacks and strike with multiple hand axes from unpredictable angles. The Saintess confirms her [Time Stop] ability has grown, allowing her to traverse the country and hunt villains during frozen time. She reveals that what Undertaker perceives as a single moment is actually an eternity for her, filled with thousands of her footsteps. As the world appears to stop around Undertaker, the Saintess unleashes a barrage of bullets and aura-infused hand axes from all directions. The narrator identifies her as a Lv.4 Oceanic-class threat, the 'Executioner,' and initiates a boss subjugation battle.
