Finding homologous regions in multiple whole genomes

Right now I have six genomes that I want to compare and identify homologous regions in the genomes. I have run nucmer, show-coords and obtained the output files. An example is shown below with Genome 1 vs Genome 2. More files go through Genome 1 vs Genome 3 until all are compared.

I was trying to use bedtools merge after concatenating the multiple output files from show-coords command to find the homologous regions. However, I am not quite sure on the command to use. Any help is appreciated.
