Chapter 431 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 431

The narrator, Go Yuir, enters the 6th station, a surreal garden where the Garden of Fallen Flowers and the Dang Flower Garden overlap. He encounters two simultaneous versions of Dang Seo-rin: one on the right, human and tending to violets in the daylight, and one on the left, an Outer God (Hecate) caressing a corpse under starlight. Seo-rin explains that Oh Dok-seo, instead of eliminating Hecate as previously planned, has given Go Yuir the choice to decide which identity survives, likening it to a 'golden axe, silver axe' dilemma. Go Yuir reflects on Dok-seo’s thoughtfulness, recognizing the burden of choice as a gift that validates his regressor’s memories. However, Go Yuir reverses the dynamic, asserting that the choice belongs not to him, but to Seo-rin herself. He details the traumatic origin of her condition: Go Yuri forced her family’s massacre and wished upon an anomaly to mortgage her life, effectively replacing her soul with an Outer God’s memories. He grants Seo-rin the right to reject this foreign past. The human Seo-rin, fearing the loss of shared memories with Go Yuir, accepts her identity regardless of its anomalous origin. The Hecate persona, acknowledging the insignificance of humans compared to her power but valuing the life she lived as a human, reaches out and grabs Go Yuir’s left hand, thanking the Undertaker. The human persona grabs his right hand, and the two overlapping realities merge as fallen flowers bloom and petals cover the corpse. With a 20-second time limit, Seo-rin comments on her friends’ beauty and agrees to talk later before they dive into the next stage. They arrive at the 7th station, the terminal platform of the Tower of Babel plaza. Noh Do-hwa is waiting, hammering tools. She reveals she possesses an innate immunity to Void Poison and the dream within a dream, acting as an anchor for the team due to her uncorrupted humanity. She shows Go Yuir several dolls she has constructed. Do-hwa explains that Oh Dok-seo commissioned these as 'Undertaker' clones to be used when Go Yuir’s body is inevitably split into pieces after the quest. Do-hwa reveals her method for acquiring materials: sequentially amputating Go Yuir’s limbs and head, healing them with Sim Ah-ryeon’s abilities, and reattaching them, effectively creating a human centipede-like process to harvest biological material without killing him. She jokingly asks whether to start with his arms, legs, or head, leaving Go Yuir in absolute terror as he realizes his alias, Undertaker, has become literal.
