### Summary
The personal mission of siblings Bota and Lita Ma has escalated into a global crisis. After the leviathan Krill—once believed to be their father's killer—was revealed as a sentient guardian offering a cure for Lita's mutating disease, Lita sacrificially transformed into a massive, protective shelter for her allies. This act has been tragically misinterpreted by the world; an international coalition of harpooners, including factions from Busan Union and New York, now perceives her as a monstrous threat and is mobilizing to destroy her with a catastrophic strategy called "Burning Sun." As Bota and his guardian, Kana, race against time to save her, the conflict's scale is expanding dramatically. Reader comments suggest the impending battle will be legendary, involving an overwhelming force of potentially forty full-grown leviathans, far beyond the known "7 Sea Demons." With their former foe Krill now a potential savior, Bota's quest to find a cure is caught in a desperate struggle to prevent Lita from being forced into a conflict that would cement her mistaken identity as the world's ultimate enemy.
