Chapter 457 — I'm an Infinite Regressor, But I've Got Stories to Tell

Chapter 457

The chapter opens with Jeong Ye-ji (the Saintess) consumed by suspicion and doubt regarding the Undertaker. She fears he may possess a resistance to her Time Stop ability, given his nature as a regressor capable of feats surpassing others. Her paranoia manifests in obsessive thoughts that he knows everything she does, including her secret affection and voyeurism. During a Regression Alliance gathering, Ye-ji struggles to maintain composure. Yu Ji-won attempts to foster team cohesion, emphasizing trust and predictable combat strength, but Cheon Yo-hwa mocks the effort as performative "schmoozing." Cheon Yo-hwa aggressively targets Sim Ah-ryeon, accusing her of being a "parasite" and referencing a disturbing image Sim Ah-ryeon drew of the Undertaker, which creates tension. Despite the friction, Ye-ji notes that she commands absolute respect because she watches everyone via Clairvoyance without judgment, creating a unique emotional closeness. After the gathering, Ye-ji leaves, declining an invitation to drink with Cheon Yo-hwa and Lee Ha-yul. She uses Time Stop to travel to Busan, where she finds the Undertaker and Dang Seo-rin seated together in a frozen state. Ye-ji believes she is alone in the paused time and delivers a soliloquy, revealing her romantic feelings for the Undertaker and expressing jealousy toward Dang Seo-rin, whom she claims is "unfair" for not knowing about regression and thus showing affection freely. She warns the Undertaker not to stop time, fearing he might understand her feelings, yet simultaneously hopes he *can* hear her, revealing her internal conflict and self-loathing. After releasing the spell and returning home, Ye-ji returns to her routine of monitoring awakeners. At 1:00 AM, a knock sounds at her door. She freezes time again, grabs a hand axe, and prepares to kill any anomaly, but sees the Undertaker standing there. She shuts the door, activating Clairvoyance to verify his identity. Confirming he is real and not an anomaly, she rationalizes that he must have come to deliver urgent news since she had paused her telepathic monitoring out of consideration for him. However, she fears he may have heard her earlier soliloquy if he can indeed move in stopped time. Overwhelmed by anxiety, she releases Time Stop and opens the door, apologizing for the late hour. The Undertaker enters, and the chapter ends with Ye-ji asking what brings him there, her heart pounding.
