### Summary
With Gon's vengeful quest against Neferpitou culminating in his own self-destruction, the war against the Chimera Ants concludes not in victory, but in a somber, tragic peace. The final gambit of Hunter Association Chairman Isaac Netero reveals the true horror of the conflict: a poisonous, indiscriminate bomb that blurs the line between man and monster. As the Ant King Meruem, having discovered his own humanity through the blind Gungi player Komugi, spends his final moments with her, both succumbing to the bomb's fallout, the world is left to grapple with a victory that feels indistinguishable from a monstrous sin.
