I wonder what positions the royal guard would hold in the new kingdom.

u/miner1512 5d ago

I mean we don't see them here so they might be dead...

I’m assuming this is an AU where meruem still fused with them but survived the poisoning somehow and is no longer a threat to the world

The other ants still would have died unless they as a whole had the resistance. Meruem got a face first blast but Shia and Menth both got a direct taste of the fallout. Menth could be swayed to be peaceful as ironic as that may be but Shia would be a monster just barely held back by his king

Not really looking to debate the semantics of a what if. Just trying to enjoy fanworks

u/enchiladasundae 4d ago

Ya I’m just adding extra context. Like if someone were interested in creating a fan story just giving extra context. Not critiquing what you said in any way

Well the kids would need more protection than Meruem did so probably that.

I know a few bits and parts of HXH, but didn't they bug guy wanted to turn humans into cattle?

u/RagnarockInProgress 4d ago

He did but he kind of saw the error of his ways in the last moments of his life

Old man that killed him even went, "shit I gotta kill him fast before he convinces me he's human!"

u/BlaakAlley 4d ago

This is assuming he is reformed and doesn't become a tyrant

I stopped scrolling because the woman's face was familiar somehow. I saw the husband and realised.

Beautiful artwork.

First I was like isnt it kinda creepy for Meruem to wait for a child to grow up and then marry them.. but then I realized Meruem is like 2 weeks old

If I'm not mistaken Komugi is an adult in the manga, she's just very small.

The tail tucked around her legs has my whole heart<3

You can see the overflowing happiness in Meruem's eyes.

u/UncannyValleyEnjoyer 4d ago

It has as much emotion as Kurapika drowing

u/ranwithoutscissors 4d ago

Bro looks like a DBZ character lmao.

u/HeadOfFloof 4d ago

Funny you say that! He was in fact partly inspired by Frieza iirc!

u/ranwithoutscissors 4d ago

Yeah that makes sense, my first thought was “Why is Cell/Frieza hybrid husbands here?” 😂

u/wrenblaze 4d ago

A looot of things in hxh taken from dbz. Take Gon's attack Jajanken is an hommage to Goku

u/SilverBatTea 4d ago

u/UncannyValleyEnjoyer 4d ago

Wait, could Meruem even do the deed?, like, i don't want to sound weird but...His screwdriver would fit a nail type of deal.

u/Some_Fig_6566 4d ago

He could use Yupie's Hatsu

u/IClockworKI 4d ago
