Chương 168: The Clown King Who Wants a Peaceful Resolution

Angewomon and LadyDevimon, who couldn't stand each other, quickly escalated from verbal sparring to physical fights.

Instead of using their signature moves, they fought like shrewish women, slapping each other, pulling hair, and tearing clothes.

The battle was so fierce that even the Eguimon, who was originally extremely indignant, dared not intervene.

No, it should be said that it wasn't just him; even Tai and the others, who originally wanted to help their companions, ultimately chose to back down when they saw Angewomon and LadyDevimon fighting.

Furthermore, Angewomon does not want anyone to help her. This is a battle between female Digimon who are angels and fallen angels. If she asks her companions for help, wouldn't that mean Angewomon is admitting that she is inferior?

The two fought from the ground into the air, and then from the air into the grove. Finally, in the grove, due to the tearing and tugging at each other, the clothes on their bodies were becoming increasingly scarce.

However, Angewomon ultimately prevailed and ended the battle, while LadyDevimon fled from the grove, disheveled and covering her face.

"That damned saintly bitch, I'll remember this grudge, and I'll definitely get my revenge!"

After uttering those harsh words, LadyDevimon's body transformed into a large number of bats and flew away. Angewomon originally intended to give chase.

But as soon as she stood up, she realized that her current posture was not compliant with regulations, so she had no choice but to let Ladymon leave.

When Taichi and the others caught up with the battle at the grove, Angewomon had already reverted to Gatomon and was slowly walking out of the grove.

"Angewomon, did you beat that wicked woman?"

In response to Kari's question, Gatomon naturally smiled confidently and said, "Of course I won, but it's a pity she got away."

"Was that LadyDevimon really sent by Lucemon to inform us?"

Before Koushiro could even voice his question, Gatomon immediately declared decisively, "She's definitely not Lucemon's subordinate. Like Myotismon, she's clearly not a benevolent Digimon."

How could Lucemon possibly accept such a dark Digimon as a subordinate, and even regard it as his most trusted being?

"It must be that Clownmon's doing! His goal is to sow discord and sabotage our relationship with Lucemon!"

Upon hearing Gatomon's words, Aegismon nodded repeatedly, agreeing with the latter part of Gatomon's statement.

As for the first part of the sentence, he always believed that only Digimon that looked like villains matched the temperament of Lucemon.

"Although LadyDevimon may not be Lucemon's subordinate, I think the news that Yamato and the others were captured by Piedmon is probably true."

After all, we've been looking for Ah-He and the others for so long without any news, and now only Piedmon remains of the Dark Masters. No matter what, we have to go to Dark Tornado Mountain.

After experiencing so many things, Taiichi has clearly grown a lot. He is no longer as reckless as before and will ask for other people's opinions.

The team members trusted their excellent leader and decided to follow his instructions.

On Mount Dark Tornado, Piedmon was furious when he heard his subordinates' report that LadyDevimon had gone to inform the Chosen Children that they were on their way there.

Although he had expected it, the Clown King still didn't expect that the day of facing off against the Chosen Children would come so soon.

Now that things have come to this, he has no other way out. If he chooses to surrender, the dark forces behind him will not let him go, and most of the chosen children will not trust him either.

Then there's only one way out: to go down a dead end and wipe out all the chosen children!

The children's journey to Dark Tornado Mountain was like playing a level-based game. They encountered wave after wave of ordinary and elite monsters until their experience points were maxed out, before finally facing the final boss, Clown King.

Dressed in red with clown makeup resembling the Joker in a deck of cards, the Joker King didn't immediately attack the Chosen Children. Instead, he looked at them with a mocking expression.

"Have the chosen children finally come this far?"

Unfortunately, have you ever considered that not only me, but you are all just pawns in someone else's game?

Do you really think you're the saviors of the Digital World? Your confrontation with us was nothing more than a script that was pre-arranged from the very beginning.

"I can forgive and forget about you killing the other Dark Masters, and I might even return your companions to you. But you must return to the human world and no longer concern yourselves with Digimon. How does that deal sound?"

As Piedmon spoke, he took out Yamato, Takeru, MetalGarurumon, and Angemon plushies and showed them off to Tai and the others.

It appeared to be a negotiation, but the words carried a strong sense of threat.

Seeing Tai and the others' angry faces, Piedmon was not angry. Instead, he said to himself, "You are just ordinary human children. What does the survival of the Digital World have to do with you?"

Your relatives and friends in the human world must be very worried about your safety, right?

Even if you save the entire Digital World, what benefits will you get? Will anyone give you a prize?

No? You might even risk your friends' lives because of this.

It must be said that among the Dark Masters, Clown King's ability to bewitch people is far superior to the other three Dark Masters who only possess martial prowess.

Seeing Tai and the others fall silent because of his words, Piedmon pressed his advantage and said, "I know exactly what you're thinking. You probably think that after I rule the entire Digital World, I'll still reach out to the human world where you live, right?"

But you can rest assured about this. The Digital World is vast enough to satisfy my ambitions.

Now that I'm the only one left of the Dark Masters, if I can enjoy the entire Digital World all by myself, I won't need to ask the human world for help.

And let me tell you, if you defeat me, the last line of defense, then true darkness will awaken, and that will be the real crisis for both the Digital World and the human world.

Although it was a form of manipulation, most of what the Clown King said was indeed true.

For example, he has no interest in the human world, or the fact that true darkness will awaken once he dies.

It would be best if the chosen children were willing to accept his proposal and obediently return to the real world.

Although the darkness hidden behind him will eventually awaken when the time comes, the long period in between is enough for him, the Clown King, to make many arrangements and find a way to escape the vortex and save himself.

Faced with his own manipulation and the threat of Yamato and his brothers as hostages, Piedmon thought his scheme was about to succeed. But at the crucial moment, Gennai popped up on Koushiro's computer again.
