World of Darkness

The World of Darkness (闇の世界 Yami no Sekai), also known as the Dark Ocean, is seen primarily in Digimon 02. Though we do get a glimps of what might be a part of it near the end of Digimon Adventure when Yamato and Sora fall into Dark Caves.

At some point between Digimon Adventure and Digimon Adventure 02, Ken is transported into this world. When he submerges his Digivice into the Dark Ocean it changes into a black D-3 and he begins to change into the Digimon Kaiser.

In ZT13, Hikari is transported there. She encounters what first appeared to be diving gearless Hangyomon with Evil Spirals on them, but the Evil Spirals did not seem to be controling them but sapping their energies. They said the god they worshipped had done this to them.

She started to try and remove them but an Airdramon with an Evil Ring on it, or at least it appeared to be one, attacked the cave. They ran out. She called out to Taichi, Tailmon and Takeru. Takeru, Patamon and Tailmon then broke through to this world and helped out. Under Tailmon's instructions Takeru armor evolved Patamon to Pegasmon and destroyed the Dark Tower hidden inside a light house that shown a dark beam. This enabled Tailmon to super evolve into Angewomon and easily beat the Airdramon. What had been the Hangyomon then mutated into strange creatures (not made clear wether they are Digimon or not, but due to their leaders name they are commonly called the Digital Deep Ones by fans) and grabbed Hikari saying she should breed with them (also a reference to the Deep Ones of H. P. Lovecraft). Angewomon shot a warning at them and they retreated saying they would return to their god.

Later on, Demon is banished here. Another odd connection is that on Demon's cloak is a symbol of the Elder Gods (considered the enemies of the Great Old Ones by some fans of the Cthulhu Mythos) whether this was a mistake, or an intentional link we don't know. Though one may gather from this connection that this means Dagomon can't hurt him.
