Kernel

God's Domain, the core of the Digital World: a place rumored to compute all of the world's data, guarded by the Three Great Angels. If it malfunctioned, the Digital World is said to collapse; what it really is remains unknown.

The World's Core

what official material says, and what it leaves open

Digimon Profile #015 describes the Kernel as a place rumored to be where all the data of the Digital World is computed. It is said that the Digital World would collapse if the Kernel malfunctioned, yet its true nature is unknown. Ophanimon's profile calls it the heart of the Digital World, the Kernel (God's Domain), and Cherubimon's calls it the core.

Divine authority and data processing meet here: the angels who guard it carry God's law, love and wisdom, and Rasielmon is said to see the whole Digital World through it.

Unconfirmed None of these sources ties the Kernel to King Drasil, to a single server, or to Iliad and Shambala. The atlas therefore shows it beside the worlds as a structure of its own, neither under King Drasil or the Royal Knights nor above the other host computers.

Chain of guardianship

Three Great Angels

3 membersEstablished Lore

Ophanimon's profile divides their duties: Seraphimon is the thorough executor of God's law, Ophanimon the holy mother who conveys love and mercy, and Cherubimon the guardian of God and wisdom. The power Lucemon once held is said to have been split in three and inherited by them.

Angelic Army

an organization, not a species: membership follows the official roster

Angelic Army

11 named DigimonEstablished Lore

An official digimon.net poll names eleven Digimon as the Angelic Army, who act under the Three Great Angels to keep order in the Digital World; the Japanese original also calls it the Powers. Being an Angel Digimon does not make a Digimon a member: fallen angels and many other angel species stand outside it, and the profiles themselves name the army for only two of the eleven.

Dominimon appears in the poll's eleven, yet its own profile says it is not bound by any angel army's chain of command and acts on its own. Both statements are official; the roster keeps Dominimon listed with that caveat.
