The episode began where it left off, with the Ant King wreaking havoc on the outskirts of Jeju Island, heartlessly decapitating Japanese hunters. Meanwhile, the Korean hunters reached the Ant Queen, and after a fierce battle, they defeated her, leading to celebrations across Korea.

However, everything changed instantly when the Ant Queen's cry before her death summoned every ant to the cave on Jeju Island. Among them was the Ant King, who, after devouring his mother, fatally injured all the Korean hunters. Furthermore, he then went outside, killing Gotou Ryuji and enveloping the island in despair.
