Chapter 432 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 432

In the silent, tomb-like stillness of the 4 a.m. Dream Within a Dream, Noh Do-hwa and the Undeaker (Go Yuir) stand in a tense equilibrium. Do-hwa, having completed her work on a doll, signals the end of her labor, leaving the Undeaker with a sense of having narrowly avoided a grim fate. As the silence stretches, Do-hwa initiates a conversation, probing the Undeaker’s mindset. She correctly deduces that he is savoring a unique joy derived from his ultimate victory across infinite cycles, a status granted to him because he is the only version of himself who reached this final stage without being reset. Do-hwa acknowledges her own satisfaction, noting that while her memories of endless work are vivid, they will soon fade once the Void is conquered. The atmosphere shifts when hundreds of injured pets—creatures with malformed limbs, including a large Maltese, a misaligned puppy, and a three-tailed cat—emerge from the Tower of Babel. These are the children Do-hwa raised and the Undeaker funed in previous cycles. Upon receiving affection, they dissolve into white ash, which Do-hwa brushes from her coat, symbolizing the transient nature of their shared past. Do-hwa then directly confronts the Undeaker, asking why he accepts death willingly every time she kills him. She confesses her responsibility, admitting that while Go Yuri orchestrated much of his fate, it was Do-hwa, as the false regressor, who ultimately dragged him into suffering and thus bears the guilt. She grants him the right to kill her. When the Undeaker refuses, citing that killing her would only trap them in a loop of repetition, Do-hwa is forced to concede. She realizes that sparing him is the only way to remain the unique victor of the final cycle. Accepting her defeat, Do-hwa removes her monocle and crushes it, acknowledging the Undeaker’s prudence versus her own rashness. She expresses deep respect, promising to remember his existence even if her memories fade. In return for her resignation, the Undeaker asks for a single wish: that he never have to die again, and that they live near each other in the normal world. Do-hwa agrees, promising to stay close enough to share their lives but distant enough to maintain boundaries. As they finalize this truce, Oh Dok-seo bursts through a door, having brought reinforcements. Witnessing the intimate moment of the Undeaker fitting gloves onto Do-hwa’s hands, Dok-seo panics, mistaking the scene for an “old married couple” moment and immediately fleeing to give them privacy, slamming the door shut twice to ensure she is not intruding. The chapter ends with the Undeaker recognizing the profound luck of Dok-seo’s interruption, which prevented a three-hour delay in the conquest operation.
