The Seven Great Demon Lords (七大魔王 Nana Daimaō?), also known as the "7 Demon Lords", "Seven Deadly Digimon", or "Mao Digimon", are a group of Demon Lord Digimon who each represent one of the seven deadly sins. They are primarily based on the "Princes of Hell" in Peter Binsfeld's "Princes of Hell",[3] also called the "Seven Archdemons" in modern occultism.[4] Digimon replaces two of Binsfeld's princes with other demons popular in Judeo-Christian mythology, and several characteristics of the members are drawn from John Milton's Paradise Lost[5] and the anonymous grimoires Clavicula Solomonis Regis[6] and Arbatel de magia veterum.[7] There are also two "Super Demon Lords" who are closely related to the group.
The Seven Great Demon Lords are the chief nobility of the Dark Area and each member has the right to command legions of the "Nightmare Soldiers", if they so wish.[8] They are also able to subvert the cycle of reincarnation presided over by Anubismon—instead of having the chance to be reborn, the data of their victims becomes their own flesh and blood.[9] Despite their might, certain other demonic Digimon, such as GranDracmon, are powerful enough to stand outside their authority.[10] Some other Demon Lords such as MaloMyotismon are rumored to be part of this group, but are not members.[11] The group has a natural rivalry with the Royal Knights.[12][please confirm]

Crests[]
Each of the Seven Great Demon Lords is associated with a corresponding "Crest" (紋章 Monshou?),[14] and this association becomes more prominent when they undergo X-Evolution, as their new forms incorporate their crest in some way into their design.
Each crest is displayed in one of the seven colors of the visible spectrum, and depicts a sigil of one of the "Seven Olympian Spirits", a group of mythological entities who, under God, ruled over the 196 provinces of Heaven and presided over the natural world for 490 years each.[15] Each Olympian Spirit is associated with a heavenly body, also depicted on the Crest.
Within the space between the two concentric circles is text stating a designated Level (this is "666" for all the crests, a reference to the "Number of the Beast" mentioned in the Book of Revelation), System (the demon that traditionally represents the Demon Lord's respective sin), and Code (the Demon Lord's respective sin). At the bottom of the inner circle is text which specifies a caution for a Purgatory Level ranging between 1 and 7, corresponding to the arrangement of Purgatory within Dante Alighieri's La Divina Commedia.
The structure of the text is in the following format:
- LEVEL:___ SYSTEM:___ CODE:___ (repeated twice)
- CAUTION! PURGATORY LEVEL ___
Crown of the Seven Deadly Sins[]
The Crown of the Seven Deadly Sins (7つの大罪の冠 Nanatsu no Daizai no Kanmuri?) is composed of all seven Crests arranged in an array and is worn by both Super Demon Lords, Lucemon Shadowlord Mode and Ogudomon.
Code Key[]
The Code Keys (コードキー Kōdo Kī?) are mystical cards which appear in Digimon World Data Squad. Each of the seven cards is can be used to transform a child exhibiting a deadly sin into the Mao matching the Crest depicted on the card. The DigiCode on the back of each Code Key reads "THE SEVEN GREAT DEMON LORDS" (THE SEVEN GREAT DEMON LORDS) and "THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS" (THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS), while the front of the card is unique for each code key and is structured in the following format, also written in DigiCode:
- DIGIMON NAME
- (CREST)
- DIGIMON NAME:SIN
- SPECIAL MOVE 1
- SPECIAL MOVE 2
- SPECIAL MOVE 3
"LUCEMON FM" and "DAEMON" are used for Lucemon and Creepymon, respectively.
Gate of Deadly Sins[]
The Gate of Deadly Sins (大罪の門 Daizai no Mon?) is engraved with seals depicting the Crests of the Seven Deadly Sins.
Towers of the Seven Deadly Sins[]
The Towers of the Seven Deadly Sins (七大罪の塔 Nanadaizai no Tou?) are mysterious buildings.
In Digimon Collectors they begin appearing across the Digital World and attract Digimon exhibiting their respective sin, as well as the Protagonist, who is sent to investigate them by the Royal Knights. Although the protagonist defeats the Demon Lords lurking within each tower, this only serves to bring about the manifestation of Ogudomon's tower, as well as the Super Demon Lord itself.
In Digimon World: Next Order, the Seven Deadly Digimon each create a tower out of boredom after having agreed not to fight each other, but the towers are soon destroyed by the Malevolent Fist.
Fiction[]
Digimon Frontier[]
Though this group does not make an appearance in Digimon Frontier proper, the card based off of Lucemon Chaos Mode, Bo-137t, is a member of the Seven Great Demon Lords. |
Lucemon[]
Digimon Data Squad[]
Long ago, the Demon Lords almost brought ruin to the Digital World. However, they were stopped and reverted to Digi-Egg form, then sealed away to be forgotten.
Belphemon[]
- Japanese: Hiroki Yasumoto
- English: Kyle Hebert
Some time before Marcus's induction into DATS, Akihiro Kurata discovered a temple which hid the sealed Digi-Egg of the Demon Lord of Sloth, Belphemon. He retrieved the egg and it eventually hatched into Belphemon Sleep Mode, after which Kurata began a campaign to awaken the Demon Lord by collecting "Digimon life energy", which would allow him to conquer both the human and digital worlds. Using his army of Gizumon to permanently murder many different Digimon, Kurata eventually collects the required energy after slaying the massive ElDradimon. Believing he has successfully brought Thomas H. Norstein to his cause, Kurata uses the "Digimon control device" Thomas had made for him to command Belphemon. However, during Belphemon's attack, Thomas double-crosses Kurata and destroys the control device, forcing Kurata to reassert control by transforming himself into data and merging with Belphemon, which causes it to transform into its Rage Mode.
Soon after, Thomas comes to join the fight, with Marcus Damon on his way as well. MirageGaogamon faces off against Belphemon only to be stomped on. He might have been finished if Rosemon hadn't seized Belphemon's arm. Belphemon Rage Mode blocks the attacks shot by Rosemon and defeats Crowmon, who reverts back to Falcomon. Through Keenan Crier's rage, Falcomon double warp digivolves to Ravemon and attacks Belphemon but is unable to do anything more than anger him. Belphemon launches an attack at Marcus and Thomas, which Ravemon blocks. Due to his increasing anger, Kurata loses control to Belphemon's true conciousness as he is in "Rage Mode". Unlike Kurata, Belphemon's only goal is destruction. Marcus's Digi-Egg hatches and digivolves from Koromon to Agumon.
Once Agumon digivolves into ShineGreymon, Kurata's face emerges from Belphemon's chest. He then drains electricity from the city to cause Belphemon Rage Mode to grow and swallow a number of space oscillation devices to give it the power to tear rifts between both worlds, threatening to bring both worlds crashing together. He defeats RookChessmon and BishopChessmon, who revert back to the two PawnChessmon. ShineGreymon digivolves into Burst Mode and destroys Belphemon Rage Mode, with help from Marcus' D.N.A. going straight through Belphemon Rage Mode's chest, where Kurata's face is.
Digimon World Data Squad[]
The "Mao Digimon" are created when one of the Code Keys of the Seven Deadly Sins is merged with a person who exhibited the respective sin. However, they can be destroyed with enough hard work before they can fully regain their strength.
During a series of Digimon attacks, earthquakes, and disappearances, the Mao Digimon reveal themselves with an attack from Creepymon. Five of them, Belphemon, Barbamon, Lilithmon, Beelzemon, and Leviamon, are quickly defeated, releasing their respective Code Keys and the children they were each made from. Lilithmon is revealed to be created from Yuma Kagura, the little sister of one of DATS's researchers, Tsukasa Kagura. Meanwhile, a private investigator named Kosaburo Katsura and his Digimon Biyomon attempt to steal the Code Keys.
After Leviamon is defeated, Kagura appears and reveals that he is behind both Kosaburo and the Mao Digimon, as he wants to release Lucemon in order to become the strongest Tamer. He had his henchmen DemiDevimon kidnap the children and transform them into the Mao Digimon, while Creepymon would take the Code Keys of the defeated Mao Digimon to apply to Lucemon's seal.
After a defeat in the Doomsday Forest, Creepymon attack DATS Headquarters but is defeated again. A young girl named Manami Nitta runs to the dying Creepymon, who reverts to his human form and is revealed to be her father, a lost DATS member named Masaki Nitta. Kagura had told Creepymon that the only way to return home to the Real World was to retrieve the Code Keys and release the seal on Lucemon. Masaki reveals that Kagura already has the Code Key of Wrath, but as Thomas realizes that Creepymon's attack was merely a distraction to give Kagura time to release the seal, Masaki begins to dissipate, as he had spent too much time as Creepymon and was no longer anything more than mere data.
Kagura finally releases Lucemon, who fights DATS but is defeated. However, its defeat proves to be only temporary, as Lucemon quickly revives himself and transforms Kagura into the Code Key of Pride, then absorbs him. While the first six Code Keys removed the seal on Lucemon, and the Digisoul charge awakened him, the Code Key of Pride allows him to leave the Dark Area entirely. Although Lucemon is defeated once again, he transforms into the terrifying "Cho-Mao". Despite this form's overwhelming power, DATS manages to defeat him as well, freeing an ashamed and repentant Kagura and ending the Mao Digimon crisis. However, the cards still exist and the data of the Mao digimon has not yet been deleted.
After each Mao Digimon is defeated, a new incarnation of its trait appears at the location of its demise. The DATS team tracks each new incarnation down, and the Mao bestow their power onto the member of the team that best exemplifies their trait, generally after a fight. This allows the team member's Digimon to take the Mao Digimon's form through Digivolution. Agumon gains Belphemon's and Creepymon's, Lalamon gains Lucemon's, Gaomon gains Barbamon's, Falcomon obtains Leviamon's power, Biyomon gains Beelzemon's, and Renamon gains Lilithmon's.
Lucemon[]
- Japanese: Toshihiko Seki
- English: Kirk Thornton
As the Cho-Mao (超魔王 Chō Maō?, lit. "Super Demon Lord"), leader of all the other Mao Digimon, it takes all six of the other Code Keys to release Lucemon from his seal in the Ice Caverns. He used his dark powers to manipulate Tsukasa Kagura's bitterness towards Thomas to have him begin a quest to retrieve the Code Keys from his fellow Mao Digimon's data to free him from imprisonment, all the while making him think he was in charge of the evil Digimon working for him. Upon being unsealed and given a DigiSoul Charge from Kagura, Lucemon proceeded to fight the DATS team, but lost. Seeing that he needed to gain more power from the Dark Area, Lucemon betrays Kagura by turning him into the Code Key of Pride and absorbing him to gain freedom from the Digital World. Confronting the DATS team again, Lucemon digivolves to the Demon Lord form, the final boss, only to be defeated once more.

In the real world, it tries making contact with former DATS member Masaki Nitta's daughter, who sees that he is within the evil Digimon. However, a final battle between Creepymon and the DATS team frees Nitta from him, but at a heavy cost.

The Seven Deadly Digimon are Digimon who stand above all demons. They are crowned the Highest of the High and have evil within them at their creation. They exist in all parallel worlds simultaneously, which is also a defense mechanism. They are a natural, primal factor of the world.
In another universe, the Digimon Tamer Sayo of the Night Claw organization killed the Seven of her world and thus increased the power of the Seven Deadly Digimon in every other. In punishment, she lost her partner Dianamon. To regain her partner, she must kill the Seven of Aiba's world.

Mirei alerts Aiba to the location of each of the Seven, and they kill each of them in turn, obtaining one of the Evidence of Sin each time as their spoils.

After killing all of the Seven, Aiba hands over the Evidences of Sin to Mirei, who laughs and is excited at the prospect of allowing new values to arise.
In a ritual, Mirei returns Dianamon returns to Sayo. Normally, Aiba should be subject to the same fate as Sayo for killing the Seven, but Mirei intervenes.

They also want to recruit the Hero, because despite calling themselves the "Seven Deadly Digimon", there are only three of them - meaning they don't act alongside the other members of the group. After being defeated, the three decide to join the City because according to them, whether the Hero joins the group, or the group joins them in the City, it's the exact same thing. The three join the Dimensional District, though Jijimon worries since Leviamon literally wants to eat the District.
Lucemon[]
Lucemon is a member of the Seven Deadly Digimon and is found in the Frozen Divider in the Frost Cathedral and claims to have been watching the Hero for their entire journey in the Digital World and asks if the Hero knows the difference between good and evil, and assumes the Hero would assume Lucemon is good because of his appearance as an angel, then warp digivolves into Lucemon Falldown Mode and states that he has transcended the concepts of both good and evil and fights the Hero so they can learn the difference between good and evil. After being defeated, Lucemon states that the Hero is good, but knows the Hero doubts him and promises to turn everything they believe in upside down the next time they meet. Lucemon is later found even further into the Frost Cathedral and states that yet again, he had been watching everything the Hero had done and was only reaffirmed that the Hero is a force of good and that they arrive to their conclusions through battle. Lucemon then decides that the winners of battles are good, and the losers are evil and then digivolves into the embodying of evil itself, Lucemon Satan Mode, and fights the Hero because Lucemon wants to shed the tag of being evil, so clearly winning against the Hero will mean Lucemon is now good, whilst losing means it will just add another sin to his history. After being defeated, Lucemon instead decides that being good is to mix a noble heart with wicked thoughts and to move forward even with clutching pain and anguish in your heart, then decides to continue watching over the Hero and asks to see their power of good in person again one day, joining the City in the Digital Dimension.

Beelzemon[]
Beelzemon is a member of the Seven Deadly Digimon who prefers to live as a loner, and holds a powerful contempt for Digimon who exploit cowardly tactics. It can Mode Change to Beelzemon: Blast Mode and rides the Behemoth. Clash Battle: Gulfmon
Beelzemon intercedes when it comes across a Falcomon and Otamamon being threatened by Goblimon and Raremon, incensed at the craven display. He easily fends off their attack, but the pair return to their boss, Creepymon, who sends his lieutenant SkullSatamon to assist them in expanding his territory. The trio post wanted posters of Beelzemon to turn sentiment against him, accusing Beelzemon of a wild, bloody rampage, and successfully but ineffectually convince a crowd of Guardromon to attack him. However, Beelzemon learns of the deception when it reunites with Falcomon and Otamamon, and after being ambushed by Goblimon, Raremon, and the Guardromon a second time, he forces Goblimon to admit that it was SkullSatamon, and therefore ultimately Creepymon, behind his troubles. SkullSatamon emerges and attempts to use the now disillusioned Guardromon as human shields, infuriating Beelzemon, who soundly trounces SkullSatamon. Beelzemon spares his life so that he can deliver a message to Creepymon—to deal with Beelzemon directly if he's going to give him problems. Path of Darkness
Some time later, Beelzemon easily defeats Mephistomon. With a bruised ego, Mephistomon sets a trap for Beelzemon by casting In-Training Digimon into a portal. Beelzemon goes to save the weaker Digimon but is himself trapped, allowing Mephistomon to steal his data and degenerate him into Impmon. Mephistomon scattered most of the data, which Impmon was able to recover, but kept some to empower himself.
Impmon tracks the data to the human world, where he runs into the Protagonist and Herissmon while attempting to assault some humans he felt were disrespecting him. He senses Mephistomon's power coming from the Protagonist's Mephisgram app and performs a dive into the phone that drags the Protagonist and Herissmon along with him. Battle Challenge: Mephistomon Impmon continues to search for Mephistomon but is unable to find it and eventually ruinites with Rasenmon and its Tamer. After learning that they had fought Mephistomon, it demands to know where it is though is saddened to learn that it had gotten away. They don't have to search much longer though, as Mephistomon digivolves to Gulfmon and attacks them. Rasenmon fights and stalls it, allowing Impmon to search for the last of its missing power. Gallantmon had also been searching for Mephistomon, and breaks into the Digital Point, conveniently right in front of Impmon. It had also unintentionally found the last of Beelzemon's power whilst doing so and though initially relunctant to give it its power back, not wanting to help a member of the Seven Deadly Digimon, it changes its mind after hearing that Impmon had promised to help its new friends who had trusted it but also because defeating Gulfmon was important. It gives Impmon back its power – allowing it to turn back into Beelzemon, with the two then joining the battlefield just as Gulfmon had defeated Rasenmon. The combined might of Rasenmon, a member of the Seven Deadly Digimon, and a member of the Royal Knights isn't enough to defeat Gulfmon however which forces Beelzemon and Gallantmon to digivolve to Beelzemon: Blast Mode and Gallantmon: Crimson Mode. The three of them are then able to kill Gulfmon. After the fight, Gallantmon reminds Beelzemon that they are actually enemies though they agree to fight later and not now as they used up too much energy in fighting Gulfmon. Beelzemon then leaves on Behemoth. Clash Battle: Gulfmon
Attacks
- Beelzemon
- Double Impact: Rapid-fires the Berenjena.
- Darkness Claw: Raises a claw overhead and then cuts the opponent to pieces.
Lucemon[]
Lucemon is a member of the Deadly Digimon. In the distant past, Lucemon was the highest ranking Angel Digimon. It had a God-like side that showed mercy but also a demonic-like side that planned to destroy the World. Sealed Legend
During those times, the Digital World was rife with chaos with Digimon fighting all the time, killing each other. Lucemon was able to stop these fights using its powers which allowed the Digital World to finally be at peace. Some time later however, the Digital World was again rife with chaos and war after Lucemon had realised it had the power to rival the Gods and so decided to destroy the new World and create a new one. When Lucemon attacked the Gods, its arrogance caused it to digivolved to Lucemon FM. As Lucemon was previously an Angel it was able to resist Holy attacks, which helped it in its battles against the Gods. As Lucemon continued its war, other evil Digimon joined in – the most notable being Lilithmon, Creepymon, and Barbamon, fellow Deadly Digimon. Lucemon and its army destroyed large parts of the Digital World and killed countless Digimon but eventually the Ten Legendary Warriors fought against Lucemon. Lucemon was able to kill eight of them, with the remaining two Legendary Warriors able to defeat and seal Lucemon away in the Dark Area. Sealed Legend
Lucemon FM is later freed due to the distortions caused by Spiral that the Royal Knights were attempting to seal. Lucemon is confronted by six of the Royal Knights, but easily deals with them. Alphamon realises that the only way they could take out Lucemon would be for all thirteen Knights to attack at once, however the remaining members were busy fighting Mastemon. Not being able to reconvene to fight Lucemon, Gankoomon requests the help of the Protagonist to fight Lucemon in their stead. During the fight, Lucemon FM warp digivolves to Lucemon SM. Alphamon then digivolves to Alphamon Ouryuken and proceeds to chase off Lucemon.
The Royal Knights attempt to find Lucemon so they can finish it off for good but are unable to find it within any part of the Digital World, leading Examon to assume the Three Archangels were sheltering in its former home. This lead to a large scale battle between the Royal Knights, Archangels, and the Four Holy Beasts. The Time of Awakening Approaches! The Mighty Heartbeat of the Four Holy Beasts
Lucemon had been hiding in the gap between the Real World and the Digital World however, and had teamed up with Creepymon and Barbamon. They helped Argomon spread its influence, gave Mephistomon the ability to steal Beelzemon's power, and had the Vademon awaken Leviamon with the intent on having it destroy the Digital World – though all these planned ended in failure due to various Digimon putting a stop to them. BCE Leviamon
Lucemon then ask the Vademon where they had done their ritual to summon Millenniummon more than a decade earlier, which they proceed to do. Just as it arrives and senses that Millenniummon had indeed been there all that time ago, it is ambushed by Crusadermon and Dynasmon – two of the Royal Knights – with the duo stating they would defeat Lucemon this time. Despite only being in its Rookie form, Lucemon is more than a match for the two of them and leaves in the middle of battle, bored at their weakness. It continues searching for the exact location the Vademon told it and is able to find it, though is once again ambushed by the two Royal Knights. Wanting to use Millenniummon's power to destroy the Digital World so it could remake it in its own image, it travels back in time though ends up taking the two Knights with it. Now back to when the Vademon had summoned Millenniummon more than a decade before, it plans to ambush it and then seal off its will and mind so that it would do its bidding and also planned to force it to digivolve to its "final World destroying form", then would return with it to the future and destroy the World. The Royal Knights state they will not allow that to happen, though when Millenniummon arrives the gate suddenly gets interfered with, with Mastemon having been convinced by Rasielmon to help as well. It then travelled back in time as well to stop Lucemon's plan and was able to interfere with the ritual, causing Millenniummon to instead appear as an illusion. The three of them then continue to fight Lucemon and eventually are joined by the ghosts of AncientGreymon and AncientGarurumon, with Goblimon and Raremon having convinced them to stop Lucemon from destroying the World. The Legendary Warriors see that it is not powerful enough on its own whilst in its Rookie form to destroy the World which is why it needed Millenniummon's power and since Goblimon and Raremon had asked them to stop Lucemon, not kill it, they decide to instead seal away Millenniummon and are able to do so with the help of Mastemon and Rasielmon. Angered, Lucemon defeats the Angels and the Legendary Warriors (with the Legendary Warriors's power running out, causing them to disappear) though this outburst of anger is enough of a distraction for Crusadermon and Dynasmon to attack and kill Lucemon.

In the distant past, Lilithmon was one of the many Digimon that helped Lucemon in its failed attempt to destroy the World and create a new one. Sealed Legend
Many years later, when the Digital World falls into disarray after Eiji Futami breaks into the Kernel, a large group of evil Digimon and Spiral cause havoc in the Digital World with Lilithmon being one of them. During its fun its is confronted by Ophanimon, with the two of them engaging in battle.

Creepymon[]
Creepymon is a member of the Seven Deadly Digimon.
In the distant past, Creepymon was one of the many Digimon that helped Lucemon in his failed attempt to destroy the World and create a new one. Sealed Legend
Years later, Creepymon tries to expand his territory and sends Goblimon and Raremon as his muscle. However, Beelzemon, despite being a fellow Deadly Digimon, becomes annoyed by their bullying weaker Digimon and chases them off, which leads Creepymon to send his lieutenant, SkullSatamon, to assist them. The trio post wanted posters of Beelzemon to turn sentiment against him, but Beelzemon sees through the plan and forces Goblimon to admit that it was SkullSatamon, and therefore ultimately Creepymon, behind his troubles. After soundly trouncing SkullSatamon, Beelzemon spares his life so that he can deliver a message to Creepymon—to deal with Beelzemon directly if he's going to give him problems. Suitably cowed, Creepymon decides to stop bothering Beelzemon for now, but resentfully plots future vengeance. Path of Darkness
Creepymon later teams up with Lucemon and Barbamon, with the three of them hiding in the gap between the Digital World and Real World. They helped Argomon spread its influence, gave Mephistomon the ability to steal Beelzemon's power (with this being Creepymon's revenge against Beelzemon), and had the Vademon awaken Leviamon with the intent on having it destroy the Digital World – though all these planned ended in failure due to various Digimon putting a stop to them. BCE Leviamon
Creepymon later opens a gate to the Human World, though upon them being teleported there a Digital Point opens up with it and Barbamon being spawned right in front of Nozomi Tamada and Pumpkinmon. Nozomi tries to befriend them, unaware of who they are, though after they tell them they plan to invade and take over the Human World she gets mad and tells them not to. Annoyed at the Human child, Creepymon tries to kill her though Pumpkinmon takes the blow instead, and then digivolves to NoblePumpkinmon. Just as the duo are about to kill NoblePumpkinmon, they are saved by Craniamon, UlforceVeedramon, Magnamon, and Gallantmon – members of the Royal Knights. The duo then fight the four Royal Knights and NoblePumpkinmon. Clash Battle: Creepymon After a hard fought battle, the five of them are able to make the two Demon Lords retreat when they realize they can't win. Clash Battle: Barbamon
Creepymon later complains to Barbamon about Lucemon's botched plan to reawaken Leviamon, annoyed that it had gone with such a reckless plan due to Leviamon's nature. Barbamon then theorizes that it never actually cared about Leviamon and had simply needed to get in contact with the Vademon and had agreed to give them Leviamon to get into their good graces. This was later proven to be true when Lucemon asked them where their ritual to summon Millenniummon was so that it could go back in time and use Millenniummon's power for itself.

Belphemon SM The group attempt to attack SM whilst it's still dormant, however the Spiral keep getting in the way. As they fight against the Spiral, Belphemon SM's alarm clock suddenly sounds which awakens Belphemon SM and causes it to digivolve into Belphemon RM.

Leviamon[]
Leviamon is a member of the Seven Deadly Digimon.
Leviamon spent a long time sealed away and asleep in the Net Ocean. BCE Leviamon
One day, under the instruction of Lucemon, Barbamon, and Creepymon, it is awoken by the Vademon and finds itself in front of Vajramon, Majiramon, and a group of weaker Digimon. Before it could launch an attack on them, it is attacked by Examon of the Royal Knights – which allows its near victims to escape. Seraphimon then joins the battle though the two of them struggle against its power. Gankoomon had been sent by the other Royal Knights to find out who had woken it up and is able to find the Vademon and convinces them to reverse the ritual they had done to wake it up as it would destroy the World. The Vademon agreed to do so, as if Leviamon destroyed the World they wouldn't be able to take it over and rule it. With the help of Gankoomon they are able to open a portal to the Net Ocean, which Examon and Seraphimon then push it into – which once again seals Leviamon away. BCE Leviamon
Digimon Chronicle X[]
The Seven Great Demon Lords are seven Demon Lord Digimon that usually work on their own, however Lucemon plans to use the other six for its own goal of destroying every Digital World in existence. Lucemon, Daemon, Barbamon, Lilithmon, and Beelzemon each acquired the X-Antibody for their own reasons, whilst Leviamon and Belphemon are forced to undergo X-Evolution by Lucemon after it awakens them from their slumber.
Some of the Royal Knights had visited the Old Digital World that had been decimated by the X-Program by King Drasil ten years earlier to preform a survey there to find out its current state and discover that the old Digital World had turned into a world of chaos, with Digimon fighting over who would get to rule different parts of the Digital World. Jesmon suggests a battle royal, with the winners having the right to decide the future of the old Digital World, and the Royal Knights take part themselves to try and make sure no evil Digimon win. This gets troublesome however when the Demon Lords arrive, fight the Royal Knights in both the Dark Area and the Old Digital World, and defeat multiple members of the Royal Knights. This leads King Drasil to dispatch more of them and eventually the Royal Knights defeat six of the Demon Lords.
However this is exactly what Lucemon wanted, and after returning to the Dark Area to meet with Keramon X, which was part of its secret plan, Lucemon pulls the defeated Demon Lord's bodies into the Dark Area, then instructs Keramon X to warp digivolve to Diaboromon X, who then splits itself into seven and absorbs the defeated Demon Lords. Lucemon then allows itself to be absorbed as well, and the seven Diaboromon wield the Demon Lords as swords, attack the Royal Knights, and then eventually fuse together into Ogudomon X, with Lucemon acting as its consciousness. After Ogudomon X is killed by Jesmon GX the Seven Great Demon Lords are freed from the dying Ogudomon X's body, and use the last of their powers to escape back to the Dark Area.
