Digital World: Iliad

Sorry for our appearance, but this article currently needs a lot of work.
Digital World: Iliad (デジタルワールド・イリアス, Dejitaru Wārudo: Iriasu), or simply Iliad (イリアス, Iriasu), is a Digital World that exists on a different server to the one ruled over by Yggdrasill that seems to be managed by the Olympos XII. The Royal Knights have not specifically interfered with the Digital World: Iliad due to the protection of the Olympos XII, but it seems that because of Yggdrasill's will and a virus sweeping the world, the day is coming when they will cross servers and meet face-to-face.[1] The host computer of this world is called Homeros.[2] Grace Novamon is said to have been born from the fusion of Apollomon and Dianamon when an unprecedented crisis arose there long ago.[3] It has its own Dark Area.

Digimon New Century[edit]
After invading Iliad planning to destroy Homeros in order to stop the invasion of the Digital World of Yggdrasill carried out by Olympos XII, Megidramon faces and overcomes Apollomon and Dianamon. However, before he can finish, Homeros contacts the duo, granting them the power to evolve even further, leading to the appearance of Grace Novamon, to which Megidramon responds by releasing all his power, evolving into Megidramon (X-Antibody) and going crazy in the process.
The other Olympos XII return to Iliad and together create an opening for Grace Novamon to attack.
Digimon Story: Time Stranger[edit]
Digital World: Iliad is the main Digital World in Time Stranger. It is protected from external threats by a firewall that can act as a deterrent for even powerful Digimon from other Host Computers such as the Royal Knights, although Omegamon can bypass it by splitting itself back to its Child forms.
Iliad was once protected by Chronomon and the Titans. However, when Chronomon realized that all fate is controlled by Homeostasis, he challenged Homeostasis in a rebellion and was swiftly struck down and sealed in the Akashic Records, and the Titans were all banished to the Dark Area. Eventually, Chronomon desired freedom through death and thus created a Digitama that would hatch into a Great Guardian that would later slay him. However, he would also prefer to drive the Great Guardian into despair before it slays him, and thus concocted a series of schemes affecting both Iliad and the human worlds intended to induce as much misery and despair as possible for the Great Guardian to see.
The destruction of Iliad began when Chronomon possessed Titan Plutomon and used him to order a series of attacks against its settlements. To further motivate the Titans, it was heavily implied that he created a fake legend about him being a hero. The attacks were all seemingly ineffective and were easily repelled by the area guardians. Yuki Dan/Yuki Kanan, Misono Inori and Aegiomon find themselves in it after being sucked into a gate Titamon opened in the Real World and helped the area guardians repel the Titans in exchange for Junomon returning them back to their own world. However, things turned for the worse when Bacchusmon crumbled under the pressure of defending the Energy Vein and let the Titans alter it, allowing them to infiltrate the Guardian Palace, and went completely disastrous when Junomon's obsessive attachment towards Aegiomon got the best of her; when the Guardian Palace was under jeopardy, her demand to force Aegiomon to stay in the Digital World was rejected because of his strong bond with Inori, causing her to fly into a fit of rage that summoned a large group of Titans and other rogue Digimon that laid waste to Shinjuku and indirectly created a permanent Digital Gate under the Tokyo Metropolitan Government building.
8 years later, most of Iliad was successfully destroyed by a series of Titan attacks that purposefully exploited the flaws of each Apostle of Iliad, rendering all of them dead or incompetent. This was by Chronomon's design, as the destruction of Iliad would force countless Digimon to be pushed towards the human world and face the wrath of the Digimon-hating humans of D-SAT, eventually resulting in an apocalyptic event known as the Shinjuku Inferno. With Aegiomon and later Yuki Dan/Yuki Kanan's intervention however, they were able to save the Apostles of Iliad and form the Olympos XII to put Aegiomon's destructive impulses under control and unite all of Iliad against Chronomon. After slaying Chronomon, Aegiomon (as Jupitermon) volunteered to become the new Great Guardian of Iliad and used his time powers to fully restore the timeline, and undo the destruction caused by Chronomon in both the human and the Digital Worlds, and the Olympos XII became the official guardian organization of Iliad.
