### Summary
The intense, life-or-death struggle between the harpooner Kana and the intelligent, human-faced leviathan has reached a shocking and tragic conclusion. While the previous chapter focused entirely on Kana's peril, with readers fearing for her safety, the latest events have seen Lita Ma unexpectedly swallowed whole by the monster. This devastating turn has thrown the readership into a state of shock, grief, and disbelief, as evidenced by a flood of emotional comments. Some fans cling to a sliver of hope, noting that the sound effect used was "Gulp" rather than the typical "Crunch" associated with deaths, speculating she may still be alive inside the creature. This event catastrophically derails the group's primary mission to find a cure for Lita's mutating disease, directly entangling her fate with the very leviathan suspected of murdering her father, Teon Ma. The incident also highlights ongoing reader frustrations with certain characters, with one commenter explicitly wishing the controversial character Sonia had been sacrificed instead. The narrative has pivoted from a battle for survival to a moment of profound loss and uncertainty, leaving Bota and Kana to confront the apparent death of a central character.
