How the Digital Worlds fit together: three worlds with their own host computers and guardians, the Kernel watched by angels, and the underworlds that sink toward one shared abyss. This atlas is an editorial model built from official Bandai material, not a universal chain of command; the labels below mark how firmly each link is established.

A formless entity that keeps the balance of the Digital World. In Adventure it chose the DigiDestined (episode 45); in the Digimon Xros Wars manga it succeeds King Drasil as the administrator of the Digital World, and the Royal Knights serve it. No anime, manga or official text places it over Iliad or Shambala.
God's Domain, rumored to compute all the data of the Digital World and guarded by the Three Great Angels, with the Angelic Army beneath them. Its reach beyond the Classic world is not established.

A single lowest layer connected from each Dark Area and common to every Digital World. The Seven Great Demon Lords, GranDracmon and Gulfmon make it their stronghold as separate powers; no source names anyone its ruler.
