## Chapter
- number: 199
- release_date: 2025-03-08

### Summary
The original quest to find a cure for Lita Ma’s mutating disease has been completely abandoned, thrusting the narrative into a new conflict centered on her transformation. Lita's affliction, contracted from the sea demon Genod, has evolved, turning her into a new leviathan "queen" with the power to command other sea monsters. This has put her in direct opposition with a pre-existing, powerful queen who views her as a usurper, triggering a massive kaiju battle between them for supremacy within the monster hierarchy. As Lita weaponizes her curse to protect her family, her brother Bota and guardian Kana have been relegated to the role of passive spectators. This inaction is a source of reader frustration, with recent commentary questioning why another character, Clark, is also merely observing the fight. While readers praise the antagonist queen's "final boss" design, the story has pivoted entirely from a human survival tale to Lita's personal struggle for dominance.
