Digital code spread across Belphemon's entire body at an astonishing speed, even extending into the portion of Belphemon that existed within the Digital World.
When the digital code covering Belphemon's entire body bloomed with dazzling white light, the now-conscious Belphemon finally began to panic.
A large number of ADR individuals, including the strongest individual, "Mother," immediately abandoned everyone else and surged toward Seiya.
"All Delete!"
However, with Seiya's furious shout, the Belphemon ADR individuals that had already rushed before him turned into white motes of light before they could touch his body, completely vanishing into the air.
Belphemon, which had originally covered nearly half of Tokyo, gradually dissolved into motes of light and disappeared into the air.
At the same time, the Digimon still fighting in the Digital World saw Belphemon in battle constantly disappearing as well, and immediately erupted into cheers.
They had finally won this battle for survival between humans and Digimon!
Belphemon was actually a program used by the Digital World to sort through and eliminate artificial intelligence entities. When the amount of data became excessive, it would appear and delete surplus data to free up the host's memory, essentially functioning as a cleanup program.
In the original plot, in order to defeat Belphemon, the protagonists and the research team had used Growmon's high-speed reverse rotation to turn back time, causing Belphemon to devolve and return to where it belonged.
However, using that method also caused the Digital World itself to devolve.
The Digital World in this world had been born from a game developed by humans in the seventies.
If Belphemon were devolved by reversing time, then naturally, the entire Digital World would return to its original course as well.
In other words, the Digimon would return to being nothing more than a game inside computers
