If Meruem won, we’d probably get an epic Gungi tournament

I feel like the hunter association would know pretty quickly that Mereum won. Then the V6 would find out and at that point i'm pretty sure nukes will be dropped since they're obviously already well aware of the threat. I doubt anyone other than Mereum might survive a single one let alone several.

Good video, but 2 counter-points: 1) The V5 already knew the danger the ants pose if they are not exterminated. If the invasion failed and the Rose had no poison, they'd likely immediately act to mobilize all the forces of humanity. Meruem wouldn't be able to take anyone by surprise. 2) The Rose may not have had poison, but it was still devastating enough to blow ( weaker version ) Meruem to bits and nearly kill him for good, and it was described as a "compact and low-budget" device. Besides the fact that humanity may have hundreds or more of those bombs in stock, they could easily have higher yield weapons too, maybe even specially designed large-scale weapons to take out the ants. Meruem MIGHT be able to evade any future attack by himself, but he cannot have his army escape those. He'd be by himself in a desolate post-apocalyptic world by the end, if he wasn't gonna be taken out by poison from other devices.

As netero said, don't underestimate human's ability to evolve

I imagine Meruem arriving at the Dark Continent and be emmidiately given a hard reality check and being treated like a literal ant for the first time. Mommy didn't crossed thousands of kilometers of sea for no reason

given how "cheap" was the bomb in Netero presented, I feel like the world governments have FAR more dangerous weapons, and they wouldn't mind obliterating a country with 5 million persons to stop world domination by Meruem, he would just die later by a bigger nuke.

He would get Rose'd. The entire point of the Rose is to illustrate that Meruem never had a chance at any kind of actual world domination

Alluka would take him out, but at what cost. Seems like a lose lose. I'd also love to see a war between Meruem and Ant Gyro. That would also be a crazy scenario. Edit: Given how public Meruem would be, there would be lots of information on him. Rihan's predator would also take him out. The ability specifically made to counter his target. If his target is Meruem, the King will literally have to fight something designed to devour him.

Honestly. As someone just getting into the manga as I've reached the end of the anime. It would be so interesting to see Meruem go to the dark continent. If it's as deadly as it's said to be for humans, I would love to see him just have a field day.

How delightful, a new video as soon as I open KZfaq

I doubt Post Rose Bomb Meruem would seek world domination and use humans as a lifestock as he intended before his fight with Netero, especially after remembering Komugi which sealed his fate and made the human part in him take over. He might even turn against Chimera Ants to protect humans like what Ikalgo and Meleoron did. He wouldn't be obsessed with power and world domination anymore and would likely try to find an isolated island somewhere to settle in and live the rest of his life with Komugi and maybe fight some special humans now and then for fun and that would be it.

Meruem fighting live in Heavens Arena gives me a lot of Cell Game vibes, which is ironic considering that Meruem is pretty openly inspired by Cell.

The ants don't technically have to eat humans it's kind of like one of those scenarios where you can either eat a cake that was made by a chef or a cake from Walmart that got thrown on the ground

Two issues. 1) The hunter association, and the various nations, would be aware that Meruem is alive, and would presumably immeadiatly take action. 2) While people like the Zoldyck family aren't heroes, they do need humanity to survive for their business to thrive. And they're aware of this. Similarly, the battleclown would probably not be happy with the human preserve and realize that if he wants to continue having fun, meruem needs to be taken down. So you'd probably see some weird combo of Zoldyck's, Spiders, battleclowns, and licensed hunters team up on meruem, each for their own reasons.

Isn’t it also within the nature of the ants to breed with other species to grow their population? The thumbnail of Meruem and his Queen Komugi got me thinking about things I probably would be better off not thinking about.

However there is Nanika. It is unknown how limited It abilities are, but we could guess they would try to capitalize this power at some stage. And while your hypotethical scenario stated that the nuke did not have poison in it, on a later stage humans would go full gardening carpetbomb the area, planting plenty of roses... And even before this I am sure there is some protocol with the Hunter Association, because while we know the ants are a big threat, it was not unknown. First we had Kite, whos job was to extreminate the ants (or keep them in controll? cant recall his original job) The intel was given that there is an Ant Queen present and the threat was known that a high level hunter was killed. Thats why they sent Netero and 5 people altogether. And we know theres been numerous lookout hunters around the area because their job was to isolate the area completely. Knwoing the Extermination Team failed would definitely trigger some defcon protocol, possibly instantly carpetbombing the area, or calling all hunter + army to the area. Look, they already had a "summon all hunters" to a mere chairman election vote, they could use the same for the hxh equivalent of a BusterCall... While this is quite a world building plothole in HxH, but keeping nen as a "hidden world" troupe was one of the main thing. On a world threat like that, the world could shift into a different direction: - reveal the existence of nen -not just recruit and train nen users but straight give as basic education (nen-civil war is unlikely, but not impossible, but Im sure humanity would have a common enemy at this point)

Nen abilities are too varied and broken. Nanika for example - Killua can have wishes granted at no cost, and the complete obliteration of Meruem would be easy, especially considering that Meruem would have no prior knowledge of Alluka/Nanika's existence or abilities.

I think it would be interesting to see what Mereum would have done having a twin, even more so given Kite’s status of being “reborn”

I think it would be a dope “what if”, if they made a spin off where merium (the ant king) went to the dark continent and tried to take it over. With all that we know about it, how would merium handle those obstacles? We know he is powerful but how would that match up against the creature on the dark continent. How would he handle trying to get the rice or that rock that has energy in it. I think it would be dope to see.

Even when considering Meruem's potential, I don't see him being able to reach the necessary power-scaling qualifications to defeat the rest of his opposition. Meruem's speed, ability to fly & use energy blasts would still be pretty devastating in a one-on-one fight. However, his existence was known. So, he will not be given a favorable scenario. It seemed like his downfall was inevitable. Meruem had great character development, though. He didn't need to be a straight-up world conquering villain.

As humans are the souls of the ants, and M is intelligent, the question of how he would modify his actions once he realizes it arises. I think that his best option is to move on to the dark continent entirely, making the old world the site of his reserve. It is the logical next step in view of the above, when you consider he will also learn of the origins and biology of the original ants. Very likely he might see the Hunter world as a holy ground of sorts. Remember, Kite was not working alone, so there are those who have the information.

Small issue Liam... it's been demostrarted that nuclear bombs, more powerful than the miniature rose, exist in the world of HxH. The where several reasons why the miniature rose was chosen, one being that the V5 wanted to keep the ant affair secret and the other being the ease to tranport it as well as it's ridiculous effectiveness for it's size. Say what you will about Merum, I don't think that he can take an H bomb to the face, much less his army, and the ants saga makes a point about proving that humans are worst than the ants. So I can definitely see a scenario where the V5 nuke the ants together with whichever poor city or country they happen to be invading at the time. After all, what's merum gonna do about sonic jets dropping nuclear bombs on him?

Big question that I didn't see anybody ask, wouldn't Meruem eat Pitou's body as well to not lose Pitou's super useful nen hatsus? SPECIALLY after having experienced almost losing Komugi to a simple stray attack, having access to puppet manipulation and puppet healing is just way too important to not get back by eating Pitou's remains.

While I loved the thought experiment, I feel like there was this underlying assumption that no organization or country anywhere would ever take pre-ememptive or coordinated action against the ants. We've seen in human history with world war 2 that once it becomes apparent someone is genuinely taking on a quest for world domination countries come together to resist it. I can't imagine this being less true in a world full of superhumans, let alone superhumans WITH nukes and government

I think you are missing a huge point. Togashi made Meruem with the instrinsic value of rapid exponential growth, specifically his character development in becoming more and more human (Netero mentions this being the most dangerous aspect of the Ant King). The more Meruem is exposed to human civilization the more empathy he would gain and probably still pursue world domination however most likely primarily seeking world peace through dismantling nation leaders and their armies/capabilities for war à la Injustice Superman. Also depending on his somewhat infinite power scaling factor and how strong he becomes, I think he would be very susceptible to assasination letting his guard down in times of peace. anyways excellent content as always keep up the good work (y)

I think there's a lot of backup plans that would probably go in if the mission failed. As a number of people point out, nukes are likely to get everyone except Meruem (killing Komugi would probably set him off on a super rampage though). Without the army of ants, the logistics and situation changes to some level - it'd be less Meruem controlling continents as much as killing his way through lots of people. Both Ging and Beyond might see fighting Mereum as a good test to see if they're ready to take on the outer continent, so I give it 50/50 whether they'd fight or let someone else handle Meruem. I'd assume they both would have some deep intel and make relatively informed decisions on that. Nanika/Something's wishes would be an option of last resort, though I don't think the Zoldycks would make that wish as much as offer some nation the option to wish away Meruem at an astronomical price and a ton of stipulations on who makes the wish to try to reduce the odds the blowback comes back to them. Which brings up the other issue; there's still the Five Threats (is Nanika one of them? Unconfirmed!), and the question of whether Mereum would come across them by accident and whether there'd be a conflict there as well. It's still completely unclear what all those things can really do, but given that despite all the resources available humanity is still like "they could destroy us any time and we're JUST LUCKY they're choosing not to" it has to at least rival Mereum if not surpass him. It wouldn't really be a "victory" for us as much as "small pockets of humans probably survive" but I don't think Mereum has an easy win here.

I think the Chimera Ants would eventually turn on each other, and Meruem would have to defend himself from traitors. I also think someone would develop and Anti Meruem nen. Probably something like collecting names of murdered victims of the ants which multiplies the user's power, or something like Kurapica's Chain Jail, only targets ONLY on Meruem at first.

Great vid, but one hugely important factor that you left out is Komugi and Pouf. This scenario makes sense from a pure power perspective of meruem asserting dominance over the rest of the world, but as with most things in hxh pure power isnt everything. Remember, up until the point of the poison killing the guards Pouf had effectively lost favor with Meruem by failing to reveal the existence of Komugi. Poufs betrayal wouldve most likely resulted in his death or his exile from the ranks of the ants, and Komugi as Meruems "queen" would essentially be the focus of any group trying to control Meruem or change his behaviors. Komugi is extremely frail and now Meruem lacks the protection of all three of his guards, leaving her insanely vulnerable. If Pouf survived she would be his main target, would he team up with the hunters to dispose of her? Maybe the phantom troupe? Pariston sounds like he'd be all over this. As for the hunters, would they try and capture her with an ability like hide and seek? Control Komugi and you control the king, simple as that. Also how would Komugi feel about all of this? Would her opinion of Meruem change? I feel like there would be a ton of potential conflicts involved and wouldnt be as straightforward as "and then Meruem takes over the whole world the end", but thats the beauty of HxH: it never is that simple

FINALLY… A new NewWorldReview video! I have been waiting for days lol

I can not imagine a scenario where the ants win sure if they had to fight them all one by one like he described they would win but the v5 would hit them with literally everything they had. if the invasion failed they would have glassed the palace grounds with all the rose bombs they had left and then made more to bomb them harder if they survived also killua can just delete them all with nanika she obeys his every word and can kill them all from a different continent

Hey grand line review, I come from a military family, dad was a soldier, the navy calls submarines boats because it’s based on the name of the first submarine, the German U-boats

Idk I mean I like this thought processing you did but you forgetting something. The ants were only ranked threat level b that means the hunter association probably had other means of eradicating them as well. They only chose the poor man's rose as a minimally destructive resort but in the face of all out invasion they would use less subtle means to destroy the ants I believe

Discounting any possible reaction from the V5 and Hunter Association immediately after Netero's defeat and letting Meruem go towards Meteor City and York New City... Didn't the Chimera Ant Biological Understanding explicitly mentioned a new queen splintering off to create their own "king"? And with the growing population of Chimera anys and hybrid ants in the scenario posed, I would believe there would at least be 2 or 3 "king" that would possibly be born to clash with Meruem...as a possibility. The manga and anime already showed direct lineage Chimera ants that were not meant to be Kings wanting to create their own "kingdoms" because of their human characteristics. Second, eventhough they were created Hybrid Chimera ants, would it automatically mean absolute loyalty to Meruem? I don't recall how much imprinting of control Pouf is able to do during the cocooning process to ensure ultimate loyalty to Meruem but maybe I forgot it. It has been quite a while. But Palm was able to plot against them right? Or was her programming incompletely and she 'hatched' prematurely? Third, because they are hybrid and have retained their human personality like Palm, even if they do can't rebel against Meruem, there will surely be infighting within the "colony" to establish heirarchy and it will cause development of Nen abilities but also thin the "herd". Lastly, in the event that the V5 Nations would crumble, the leaders would most likely have planned to "escape" to the Dark Continent as a last resort (maybe) if they could not stomach staying in the Known World. While at the same time, with no V5 to oppose, Kakin Empire could launch without permission, right?

I wouldn’t underestimate his growth tbh going from a homicidal king and murdered to a king that ripped his own arm off bc of a human to respecting netero and only wanting to talk til he forced his hand, to dying with Komugi if he and Komugi spent even more time together it would probably completely change his mind about humans.

Love the Darkwing Duck shirt

I fear that Isaac Netero bombing and radiation poisoning the Ant King Meruem is equivalent to stating that the only way humanity could have conquered and occupied the Dark Continent permanently was by adopting the Ant King's methods. With a leader like Meruem gone, humanity now has no chance against the Dark Continent, and the only hope that remains is for a few survivors to emerge, perhaps as rare as one in every few lifetimes, like Don Freecss or Beyond.

I think this theory has left out a crucial detail. by the time Meruem dies he had already found a queen for him. Meaning a new ant king would be born. We would have a beautiful re enactment of Macbeth but with chimera ants. the ants would probably conquer the first continent but there would be a lot of in fighting

One thing you didn’t mention was if lightning boy would consider asking his sister to wish away the ant king and what the trade off for that would be. Or if Nanika could wish the ant king to reconsider his world domination plot.

A special joy deep within my heart came to life when I noticed that Darkwing Duck T-shirt.

Awesome video, but one analogy is wrong, it's all about not milk: It's akin to a cow attempting to reclaim its rightful beef portions.

Meruem would lose to the 5 calamities from the dark continent. Alluka can simply kill him by making a wish. Though that will be costly. Also if small-rose can't kill him, then an actual radioactive bomb will, maybe the fat-rose.

This is relevant to a sort of fan fic I've been writing. In this alternate version of events, Meruem is revived at the very last moment with Angel's Breath so as to fake his death in a way where Blackout Curtain deceives Palm into thinking he died. Protag believes Meruem to have a change of heart and will be comfortable living out the rest of his days with Komugi peacefully in Greed Island. But what if he doesn't?

Dude I love the dark wing duck shirt. So nostalgic.

Im watching this with one winged angel playing in the background, highly recommend

The ending of the arc showed that the rapid evolution of the ants didn't matter, because humans had already evolved past them. As huge and powerful and scary as Meruem was, he was just an ant. Humans had developed technology to kill him decades ago and neither had realized it. If Meruem had somehow killed Netero without being killed by the Rose, humans would have just nuked him and he'd be dead.

Would Komugi attempt to stop/reign in Meruem?

I think you forgot about poof lying to the king about his gf. I can see the king killing his guard just for that

Keep in mind that nukes exist in HxH and the Rose is just a cheap substitute for a nuke. The V5 only did the whole song and dance with Netero to make him take the fall because none of them wanted the bad PR that came with nuking East Gorteau. If they absolutely had to drop nukes on Meruem, they would, and I don't think Meruem is surviving the full might of 5 nations' militaries. The truth is that Meruem literally never had a chance to begin with. Netero didn't bother with negotiation because he knew this. Meruem's best outcome if he survives the Rose with no poison is to fake his death and go off the grid. Preferably bringing Komugi with him.

I think it would be a lot more interesting than Meruem just taking over. There is Komugi still being alive so who knows if Meruem would even want to keep conquering. There are multiple beings that could have a chance of taking out Meruem with Nen as well as Nanika. Maybe a possibility of an interesting fan spin-off.

I could def picture Meruem in Heaven's Arena spot on! I would really like to see that too

Interesting hypothetical, but I think that the association would learn about the failed invasion way before total domination of the first continent. I also belive that, depending on who became chairman they would go through desperate measures to try to stop the king before he grew too much. Something like making nen public knowledge and accessible so by the time Meruem reaches other places he will have to deal with an insurmountable number of people who know nen, even if they are really bad at it. And I think it would be worth the potential chaos that that would cause in the world. Other possibility would be to make it requirement for the armies all around the world so trained soldiers have a fighting chance against the ants, but that would also mean that the privileges of the hunter association would be under risk because they heavily rely on the fact that nen is not something that the average Joe can use to function as a type of elite in the HxH world. But I don't think it would be that easy, Meruem would meet some resistance and the human world would go through desperate measures one way or another. Now, If that means that Meruem would fail, that's another story altogether, however there is a possibility that during that time another ant king appears, we should consider the idea of multiple Meruems fighting against themselves and against the humans for power.

Have you thought about pariston having mereums dead body preserved using nen and him manipulating it, it will be most durable zombie

I don't think Meruem or the ants would get anywhere close to world domination, there are still multiple characters/abilities that can stop him... a larger nuke, a good haiku from Basho, a wish from Alluka/Nanika, the Nen predator from the Manga, Chrollo borrowing Knov's telleport abilities for an instant kill or to trap him in another plane of existence. Not to mention all of the ants like Welfin who are loyal to Gyro and would revolt against Meruem.

Best line ever: "If Kurapika isnt worthy, then no one has a chance"

Amazing, what a fun theory discussion 🤔🤯 that bit about Greed Island and Meruem liking games was on point too I was thinking the same, just imagine if they kept the queen alive!!!

The miniature rose without poison could be used as a conventional weapon, so that could take a chunk out of the initial chimera ant army with the possibility of being used by normal humans. Humans could also publicize nen which may lead to experts if there's enough time. A Kurapika-like figure might survive and emerge with ant-specific nen abilities or even users with post-mortem nen grudges. Then there's Alluka.

I feel like the Dark Continent would humble Meruem. At the very least, it would nearly wipe out their soliders on the first visit.

Absolutely loved this. We need an alternate universe where this happens and Meruem becomes the main character

The series “versus” is basically this premise, but with the humanities of multiple universes coming together to take on each universe’s adversaries

Hot damn! I got here fast. All praise the King of Ants!

I think that there is a good chance that Meruem would actually goes further into a pro-human direction considering how young he is, how much he has grown philosophically in the short time he was alive and with how he already is symathetic towards humans in the sense that he feels for the weak and poor. From there feeling for everyone is not all that far of a jump. Although, there is also a good chance that the opposite happens. Pretty sure those were both stated to be likley in the show.

He did win. He got to live his life doing what he loved and died in the arms of the woman he loved.

another possibility is that the v5 decides to use more rose bombs poisonous, or not, and nuclear power

Honestly this is a very interesting theory with numerous endless possibilities. It could go in many good directions with positive outcomes, or it could go into many bad directions with a lot of negative outcomes and possibilities.

If Meruem won he would've become the new MC

Man if he had won I bet that outcome was not going to be good

Either he'd just chill and play gungi Komugi, or Killua could resort to getting Nanika to help.

the analogy of kurapika’s search for the kurta’s eyes to a cow wanting its milk back made me think of the bee movie. it’s the bee movie with eyes

Cool please do videos for kaneki from tokyo ghoul

So basically damn near every strong human except hisoka would bow down without a fight while the majority of humanity is annihilated. Somehow I don't think that would be the case lol

The Poor Man's rose did not contain poison. It's a Nuclear Bomb - it was Nuclear Fallout [or Radiation Poisoning, which again, is not poison despite it's name] that killed Meruem. I had to correct You on that.

HxH is one of the few anime's where I'd really want to see an A.U. if the villain won, I feel like if there was a spin-off in an A.U. where Mureum won that it could still be a compelling story, and furthermore watching the world be diplomatic with him would also be interesting

well seeing as from the thumbnail he meets hisoka at day 30 i believe he will bow down to the amazing explanation of amazing rubbers and gums

I know we don’t have enough information to explore this idea but I’m curious how Gyro would handle this whole conquest.

Bombs and nukes are valid points but even without those things those ants would still be beaten by just hunters or actually just say by humans using nen . We havenot even explored a lil bit of HxH and i am pretty sure there are so many broken abilities and some really intelligent people who know how to use it properly.

Y'know if we ever find out what the Dark Continent is like in person, I'd be curious to see a follow-up video in 50 years showcasing how far Meruem and his ant army could hypothetically get.

There's a reason why the rest of the world leave humanity isolated on that tiny island

I just finished rereading the post-Ant hxh chapters, so this is quite the treat

I feel like he'd get to the Zoldicks and Killua, remembering what happened with Gon, breaks down and tells Aluka to kill Meruem.

I like to think you came up with this video idea based on TheBattProductions' Game of Thrones WHAT IF video series

If Chimera Ant Arc was ongoing today there would be people who would speculate that "The Palace Invasion Will Fail" just like how some One Piece fans speculated with Wano except it's actually more probable in HxH than in One Piece considering it's Togashi we're talking about and he does whatever the f he wants.

What about Nanika? Surely the Zoldicks will be forced to make use of their powers.

@NewWorldReview I have a hypothetical question. Is there any situation whee the Phantom Troupe take on Meruem and sustain no fatalities? I'm not saying there wouldn't be injuries / near deaths I mean zero deaths.I would give them unlimited time to plan. They would also have every member at full strength. Love your content!

Now I just want an alternate universe where Kurapika becomes a Royal Guard.

“which leaves us with 1 functional royal guard and shaiapouf” bro i’m dying lmao 🤣

Wouldn’t you might have added Meruem ask any Nen Masters to train him how to use Nen since we know that Meruem wasn’t a good Nen User when he was born? This would might help Gon vs Meruem if this goes the route if Meruem didn’t died.

Somehow i got excited by the tought of meruem beginning the game of dark continent. amazing video

Humans took in the corpse of Meruem. Humans are able to make synthetic organs and could extract poison of Meruem's cells. Furthermore, there should be at least one nen user who could reanimate the dead (similarly like it was done to Kite), and thus Meruem could be revived as a mindless puppet. In fact, any nation who took in their corpse would have done anything in their power to do turn corpse of Meruem into a weapon. So, while we will not be able to see it, in the background Meruem might be returning as an undead cyborg.

Meruem was the ticket to exploring the Dark Continent for the humanity.

I don’t think we’ve seen the surface of what Hisoka can do. I think he has a whole hand of cards he’s yet to reveal. I think Hisoka might even be a Kefka like figure in the HxH universe. The way he toys with everybody and his patience says to me time is not an issue with him.

"Nanika, wipe out the chimera ants" "kay"

Both Alluka and Komugi are interesting parts of the puzzle u forgot to put in the equation if for whatever reason Killua wishes for the ants to be gone from Alluka u know the rules

Sounds like Meruem would just become Ainz Ooal Gown at that point

If the nukes didn't contain any poison meruem could likely dominate the human world. The thing is meruem only got caught in the explosion because he got distracted by netero wanting badly to know his name. Even if the humans launched a nuke at him point black meruem can cover a large distance almost instantaneously as seen on post rose where he moves at an increadibly fast pace to the point that anything around meruem seem to stopped in time. Oh and don't forget about is aura synthesis the more he consumes the more he gets stronger the more he gets nen abilities. What if meruem ate netero and absorbed his nen? Post rose with 100 hand bodditsatva is just too much for humans to handle. As the story points out. Meruem is supposed to be the "ULTIMATE BEING" He's the KARS of HxH

I think that your thumbnail with Komugi would be the truest answer. His affinity to become more human didn't stem from him being poisoned and about to die, it came from her. If she's alive I'd wager that he'd continue to see what really matters in life and his humanity would ever deepen. Pouf would go insane because he only sees Meruem as world king, he doesn't care for human Meruem. I feel like he'd want a long life lived in obscurity with Komugi. He'd ask Pitou to use Dr Blythe to give him a human appearance and body so that he could live as human a life with Komugi all his days as well as be unrecognizable, and she'd oblige him because she cares about what Meruem wants. They'd probably take Pitou as a butler/still his servant but they'd move somewhere quiet and play gungi and raise a family all their days. I don't think world dominance would peak his interests when he has his beloved Komugi with him, personally.

This video is a good basis for a spin off series

Meruem might find he's a small fish in a big pong in the dark continent unless he continues to grow in power as he conqures the known world, which he undoubtedly would I imagine a calamity would dispatch Meruem at the point where we see him during the series

This would be the inly time that Kirapika and the Troupe would team up in my opinion. While Kurapika hates the troupe, he would get assigned to a bodyguard mission for Kite. Kite now being a reincarnated ant that is technically the sister to Meruem, is most likely similar in power after reaching a certain age. He was a premie baby after all. In this scenario Kite and Kolt snd Kurapika go around saving as many talented nen users as possible, which just so happens to include the Troupe. Much to Kurapika's dismay, Kite correctly comes to realize they will need the Troupe. Kurapika would agree after having seen what happened to Gon and knowing there was no other options. After many long and drawn out months of planning and everything you get the Phantom Troupe and other fodder Nen Users, some willing and some being manipulated by Illumi and Shalnark, battle the Ant Army. That leaves multiple battles, such as Kurapika and Hisoka vs Pouf (assuming Youpi isnt able to fight anymore). The final battle is Kite and Chrollo vs Meruem. Where Kite has given Chrollo the information of Crazy Slots. Kite would fight Meruem with assistance from Chrollo until Kite is ran through by Meruem. However at the final moment with Meruem's tail through Kite's body, Chrollo pulls out his book and activates Crazy Slots, effectively taking rhe ability from Kite while he holds Meruem in position. Chrollo gets the best number from Crazy Slots and uses it to kill both Meruem and Kite, ending the Chimera Ant reign.

Mark netero's words "Meruem.... Humanity ability for evil knows no limits" He would get continually nuked and die on the several explotions or worse die with the whole continet of radiation potion.
