Again, we're talking about a regress which begins with something external to this reality as the first step. Either you object to an external regress, or you object to the regress become infinite once outside this reality.
If it's the first, God is pretty much done and dusted. You've just assumed the universe is either eternal or requires no case.
If you object to external infinite regress, you need to explain how you know the way other realities work, and how they relate to each other, without simply assuming they all work like this one does.
I have no opinion regarding any sort of regress, since it's entirely unfalsifiable and untestable. Any such model is consistent, but all are useless in any practical sense. I'm just pointing out the absurdity of regression style arguments.
Please read my previous response on infinite regress with care. I have already given few reasons to explain why the idea of infinite regression is illogical.
