## Series
- title: Leviathan
- slug: leviathan-5cddce

## Chapter
- number: 197
- release_date: 2025-03-08

### Summary
The central conflict has shifted from a human quest for vengeance to an internal leviathan power struggle, with Lita Ma at its epicenter. Her mutation, once a curse, has evolved, granting her the power to command an army of sea monsters and establishing her as a new "queen." This has placed her in direct opposition to a pre-existing leviathan queen, who views Lita as a traitorous usurper despite having previously tried to kill her. The current battle sees the established queen holding back, choosing to pin Lita down rather than use her full power, leading to speculation that she may be protecting a vulnerability. While this massive kaiju conflict unfolds, Lita's brother Bota and guardian Kana, along with their allies, remain largely on the sidelines as passive spectators. The siblings' original mission to find a cure is now completely overshadowed by Lita's fight for survival within a hostile monster hierarchy, forcing her to weaponize her tragic affliction to secure her place and protect her family.
