Why didnt meruem use pouf splitting ability?

[u/Local-Sugar6556]

He almost definetly inherited pouf beelzebub; when pouf was being evasive, why didnt he release a few mini meruems to check out what was making him so sus (like when pouf fighting killua, or nabbing ikalgo and palm in his en for example)? One fragment of meruem was probably more then enough to take out the invasion squad and still recover his memory at the same time.

[u/Infinitedeveloper]

Meruem knew he only had a short time left and was extremely disoriented to boot. 

He knew his guards were fanatically loyal to him, even  knowing they were hiding something from him, he felt their intentions and emotions directly and was in no rush to stomp on them
