With the Ghost Bugs clearing the way, Mambo Star had nowhere to hide. When Zhang Fan saw the warships guarding it, he sneered. "A mere few hundred warships? This planet is far too primitive."

Millions of Enhanced Super Six-Eyes swarmed out, clearing away the outer warships in just one minute.

Nexis was about to order the fleet to continue toward Mambo Star when she suddenly cried, "Something's wrong!"

The moment she spoke, the Enhanced Super Six-Eyes began attacking and tearing into one another. Missiles flew everywhere amid flames and explosions, yet not one of them activated a Sacred Barrier or an energy defense barrier.

Apart from when Zhang Fan needed to recombine and fuse the Fusion Gene, infighting had never occurred within the Insect Race.

Zhang Fan immediately focused his consciousness, using his Overlord consciousness to connect with every Enhanced Super Six-Eye. He discovered a dark shadow within the mind of each controlled Enhanced Super Six-Eye, and that shadow was directing them to attack their companions.

Zhang Fan tried to drive out the shadow, only to find that it was playing hide-and-seek with him. As soon as his consciousness merged with theirs, the shadow vanished on its own, and the Insect Race army returned to normal.

But the moment Zhang Fan withdrew his Overlord consciousness and let the Insect Race act freely, it began invading the soldiers' brains again.

After several rounds of this, Zhang Fan no longer dared to withdraw his consciousness carelessly. The casualties from the Insect Race attacking one another were simply too high.

Yet if Zhang Fan kept using his Overlord consciousness to control their movements, his mind could not bear the strain of commanding so many of them.

"Retreat! Retreat!" Seeing that Zhang Fan was clearly beginning to falter, Nexis hurriedly ordered a withdrawal.
