Chương 169: The Clown King: So I really am the Clown!

As always, Elder Gennai is an NPC; you can't find him when you're in trouble, but he'll appear right on time whenever a quest is issued or when the chosen children waver.

"Children, don't be fooled by the forces of darkness!"

The reason you became the chosen children is because of the Hikari-gaoka incident in the real world back then, and you bear your own mission.

The admirable qualities you each possess are essential to defeating the ultimate darkness. If even you give up, the entire world will eventually be plunged into darkness!

Upon seeing the sudden appearance of the projection of the old man from Xuannei, the Clown King immediately frowned. He had been patiently guiding him for so long, how could he let the old man suddenly appear and ruin his plans?

He threw out his "Ace Sword," and the laptop, comparable to Koushiro's wife's, immediately started buzzing and turned into a pile of electronic waste.

However, after experiencing several forced disconnections in the past, the old man Xuannei's communication methods now seem to have been upgraded.

Even though the computer was completely useless, the projection of Elder Gennai still hadn't disappeared.

Seeing that a troublemaker had appeared, Clown King also looked at Elder Xuannei and continued to mock him, saying, "You should believe what this old man says."

Don't forget, who brought you into this dangerous Digital World and made you fight at the risk of your lives all this time?

Gennai originally believed that his appearance would inspire the chosen children and allow them to defeat the Clown King in one fell swoop.

But looking at the children standing there dumbfounded, Gennai suddenly realized that his level of trust and prestige among the chosen children wasn't as high as he had imagined.

Originally, as a mysterious character in the script who helps the chosen children, the children should have trusted him completely and obeyed his every word. So where did things go wrong?

"Hahahaha, it seems that you chosen children are not all fools. You also know that this old man is not a good person."

It's one thing to let a bunch of kids bear the burden of saving the world, but what help has he given you so far besides some verbal reminders?

Hypocritical light is more repulsive than darkness; at least we, the forces of darkness, wouldn't be so pretentious.

Just casually label these kids as world-saving heroes, and with a few words, you can get them to risk their lives. Even human capitalists would have to admit defeat in front of you.

"Making a deal with us devils at least involves some gains and losses, but your hypocritical 'light' expects people to fight to the death without giving a single penny."

Faced with the Clown King's incisive assessment, the old man Gennai immediately explained in a somewhat exasperated manner, stating that all of this was for the purpose of training the chosen children.

However, the children were now confused by what the old man Xuan Nei had said.

It's true that the Clown King is a villain, but it has to be admitted that many of the things he says make sense to the children.

For so long, besides constantly issuing missions to them and making them risk their lives to fight powerful enemies, what other help has Elder Xuannei provided them?

To say it was completely unhelpful wouldn't be an exaggeration, but the verbal reminders and intelligence were far less helpful than the Eguimon.

Compared to the Light Beast that risked its life to save them several times, they were far inferior to even one.

The chosen children are of impeccable character, and if it were up to them to save the world, they would certainly step forward.

But now they are hesitant about whether the old man Xuannei is trustworthy.

If the other party has ulterior motives, wouldn't they become accomplices?

Seeing the chosen children affected by the Clown King's words, the old man Gennai looked dejected. He regretted that he hadn't provided enough help to the children before, so much so that now, after only a few words from the villain, he had become a suspect himself.

However, this is really not his fault. Not to mention that he really couldn't show up to help the chosen children, even if he did show up, his weak combat strength wouldn't be of any help.

"Children, I, the old man Gennai, truly—"

"Are you just going to give up already? Don't forget, many Digimon died at the hands of the dark forces in the past in order to help you."

The Great Light Beast—he has risked his life to save you several times. Do you also want to betray his trust?

Although I also find this old man Gennai highly suspicious, Clown King is clearly the villain. Are you planning to compromise with him?

Before Elder Xuannei could finish speaking, the Egui Beast, standing to the side, stepped forward excitedly and spoke up.

As for the Eguimon, who has helped the children a great deal and has long been regarded as one of their companions, the words it uttered were obviously much more effective than those of the old man Gennai.

As for why the Egui Beast spoke up for Elder Xuan at this moment, there was actually a reason for it.

Or to be more precise, he wasn't speaking up for Elder Gennai, but rather acting out of consideration for his own position.

Only Piedmon remains of the Dark Lords. Once this final boss is defeated, the Chosen Children will complete their mission and return to the real world.

After all the dark forces were eliminated, the Light Beast King naturally became the sole ruler.

After the chosen children returned, he no longer needed to be an undercover agent and could go back to serve King Lightbeast.

They're just one step away from victory, but the chosen children are having second thoughts. Isn't this just making things harder for Aegismon?

Compared to Elder Xuannei, the Egui Beast clearly enjoys a higher status and level of trust among the children.

When he saw the children regain their fighting spirit under his encouragement, the Clown King's face turned extremely ugly.

He could easily defeat a mere adult-level monster, but he also knew very well that if he killed Aegismon in a fit of rage, he would only completely turn against the Chosen Children.

"Tsk, don't think I don't know you're Lucemon's lackey, infiltrating these children just to gain their trust."

Lucemon is the truly insidious and evil guy. Most of my subordinates, including LadyDevimon, were poached by him.

"It's laughable that you all consider him a righteous and kind Digimon when he even takes in a Fallen Angel-type Digimon like LadyDevimon."

Our trust.

Lucemon is the truly insidious and evil guy. Most of my subordinates, including LadyDevimon, were poached by him.

"It's laughable that you all consider him a righteous and kind Digimon when he even takes in a Fallen Angel-type Digimon like LadyDevimon."

Piedmon was very resentful. They were all villains, but Lucemon was able to gain the trust of the Chosen Children and successfully redeem himself, while Piedmon couldn't even make peace with them.

Even if he can't clear his name, he still wants to disgust Lucemon and let the Chosen Children know Lucemon's hypocritical face!

"Aegiomon, so you knew Devimon from before?"

"This is actually—"

"So that's why Devimon helped us so much back then. He must have been worried that we would encounter danger when we first arrived on the Sandbar Continent, which is why he had you secretly protect us, right?"
