It seemed that Marcus and his group had indeed encountered trouble.
Everything was going smoothly until they arrived on this planet where the Insect-Men was born, only to be caught in a large-scale brawl.
Lucia, the new leader, wasted no time in instigating internal conflicts among the Insect-Men, forcing them to fight each other.
The victor would earn the privilege of serving under her.
This ruthless approach ensured that only those with high combat prowess, but lacking humanity and displaying extreme cruelty, would rise to power.
After all, to secure their position, these individuals might have killed their comrades, family, and friends.
This massive brawl resulted in Marcus being separated from his son, Van.
As Marcus walked through a field of rubble, he impaled an Insect-Man who attempted to ambush him with an ice blade.
He lifted his head and gazed at the murky sky, hoping that Van was safe with that person called Donald.
