### Summary
Following a multi-year time skip, the central narrative has shifted from a survival quest to a direct confrontation with past trauma. A matured Bota Ma is currently locked in a solo underwater battle against the intelligent, human-faced leviathan responsible for murdering his father, the legendary harpooner Teon Ma. This duel is the direct result of Bota, his sister Lita, and their guardian Kana exposing a settlement leader's horrific secret: he was sacrificing refugees to the very same monster. As Bota seeks vengeance, the original, long-stalled mission to find a cure for Lita's mutating disease has been completely sidelined. The latest chapter introduces a shocking complication to this personal battle, as reader comments reveal the sudden appearance of mysterious and unsettling children. These children are described as armed with knives, drawing disturbing comparisons to the dark fantasy series "Made in Abyss" and suggesting a new, horrifying layer has been added to the conflict, interrupting Bota's fight for revenge.
