### Summary
Reborn from the ashes of Chairman Netero's final, desperate gambit, the Chimera Ant King Meruem has been grotesquely resurrected. This horrifying rebirth was only made possible by the ultimate sacrifice of his Royal Guards, Shaiapouf and Menthuthuyoupi, who fed their own bodies to their charred master. While their fanatical devotion has restored the King's terrifying power, it has also brought the central conflict of his existence to a devastating climax: the struggle between his monstrous destiny and the fragile humanity he discovered through the blind Gungi player, Komugi.
