Chương 172: Why isn't the protagonist's passive skill triggered yet?

On Mount Dark Tornado, Piedmon used hostage-taking to incite the Chosen Children to kill each other.

Then, leveraging his immense power, he single-handedly accomplished the feat of suppressing all the chosen children.

Meanwhile, Yang Cheng, who was hiding in the shadows, was watching this scene from afar with his secretary, the demon beast, his brows furrowed deeply.

These chosen children are too weak. Although I was the first boss, I wasn't defeated by the children, thus missing out on some experience points.

However, during the subsequent journey, she did help these chosen children quite a bit. In fact, the main group, which originally only had two Ultimate-level characters, now has an additional Ultimate-level character, Angewomon.

Theoretically speaking, the main characters, whose combat power has greatly increased, should be able to push all the way to the big boss, but who knew that these chosen children are now being crushed by Piedmon.

"Lord Luminosaurus, aren't you going to make a move?"

LadyDevimon was actually happy to see the Chosen Children get beaten up, especially Angewomon who was being relentlessly rubbed.

However, Piedmon's immense power also terrified LadyDevimon.

You have to understand that she betrayed Piedmon. If he defeats the Chosen Children, his power will undoubtedly become even stronger.

As the traitor, she will inevitably face retribution from the Joker King.

So, although LadyDevimon doesn't like the Chosen Children, especially Angewomon, it has to be said that for now, they are all in the same boat.

Of course, LadyDevimon had no regrets about her betrayal, because if she hadn't been farsighted enough to side with Lucemon, she would probably be growing up on the central light tree in the village of origin by now.

The experience packs—those enemies—that the Chosen Children encountered before climbing Dark Tornado Mountain were the Pied King's subordinates.

If LadyDevimon hadn't latched onto Lucemon, she'd probably be one of those chosen children's experience points by now.

While she could indeed go toe-to-toe with Angewomon in her Ultimate form, it was clear that she was no match for Ophanimon, who had evolved into her Mega form.

"Let's wait and see. Although I don't want those chosen children to die like this."

But every time they face adversity, I step in to help, which makes me feel like a babysitter.

The main characters usually have aura-like passive skills; they might unleash their full power later. If they don't, it's not too late to intervene then.

LadyDevimon has been under Yang Cheng's command for some time now. It has to be said that, as a fellow villainous boss, LadyDevimon feels that Lucemon is more shrewd and far-sighted than Piedmon, and that he doesn't treat her like a tool in a moody way.

However, one downside is that she sometimes can't keep up with Lord Light Beast's thought process.

Especially with some strange words, although she could understand the general meaning, she just couldn't understand them.

Compared to the "newbie" LadyBeast, another trusted and beloved general under Yang Cheng not only understands Yang Cheng's vocabulary but has also perfectly inherited his thoughts.

Seeing the Chosen Children being constantly suppressed by Piedmon, Aegismon couldn't help but feel a surge of anxiety.

In Aegismon's opinion, these chosen children were simply too weak and impossible to manage.

He and the King of Light Beasts have provided them with so much help, and now so many people are beating up one person, yet they are being tortured to the point of near death.

The Light faction is indeed useless; the villains are the real bosses. No wonder the Light Beast King used to say that turning evil makes you three times stronger, while turning good makes you three times weaker.

Previously, it was just a pretense, but now Aegisumon genuinely likes the Chosen Children and can defeat Piedmon.

He thought that Piedmon was the final enemy, and that once he defeated him, his undercover mission would be over, allowing him to return to Lucemon's side and become a major villain.

He wasn't in a hurry before, after all, he was the only confidant under the Light Beast King.

However, Piedmon's earlier words confirmed that LadyDevimon had indeed sided with Lucemon.

Now that he's not by Lucemon's side, and that bitch LadyDevimon has taken advantage of the situation, what will he do if she steals his second-in-command position?

As Lucemon King once said, when the protagonist encounters a desperate situation, he can unleash his passive aura ability and go into overdrive!

He had mentioned that he had witnessed this "breakout" on Farui Island when he was still Elekmon.

But now the chosen children are almost dead, and their special passives such as "Save the Day" and "Explosive Power" have not been triggered at all. What's going on?

If the chosen children die, wouldn't the great plan of the Light Beast King be ruined, and wouldn't all my efforts to infiltrate for so long have been in vain?

Anxious Eguimon glanced at Piedmon out of the corner of his eye and inadvertently saw Yamato and Takeru, two plush toys hanging on his waist.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he finally understood why the chosen children couldn't unleash their full potential.

Because the chosen children were meant to work together to defeat the enemy.

Now that they lack the crucial elements of "friendship" and "hope," and are fighting amongst themselves, even killing one another, how can they possibly face the true darkness?

Piedmon was still fighting Ophanimon, while Aegismon, after swallowing hard, finally decided to take the risk!

Not to mention that he is the most loyal subordinate of King Lucemon, and after traveling together for so long, he has also developed some affection for these chosen children.

Although these brats are incredibly stupid, they are truly devoted to him. So, this time, he, the future King of the Egui Beasts, will show mercy and save them this time!

Eguimon took out the horn "Syrinx" from its waist and began to play. As the long flute music spread to the surrounding battlefield, Piedmon, who was still fighting with Angewomon, found that the surroundings had suddenly fallen into darkness.

The Angewomon and the children who were standing in front of her had all vanished into thin air, leaving only Aegiomon in sight.

"Echo of Lure" is a musical instrument held by Aegismon that plays music to attract the listener's attention. It is said to strip the listener of their self-awareness, leaving them only able to see Aegismon's appearance.

However powerful it is, Aegismon is still just a Champion-level Digimon, and its strength is far inferior to that of Piedmon, the Ultimate-level Digimon.

In less than a few seconds, Piedmon regained his senses and threw "Ace Sword" at Aegismon.

Although "Echoing" had little effect on him, the constant interference of flies in his battle was quite annoying.

"Angewomon, hurry and save Yamato and Takeru who are on his waist!"

The chosen children must work together to defeat the enemy!
