Summary
Holy Power (聖なる力, Seinaru chikara), is the control over the "Light Energy" (光のエネルギー, Hikari no enerugī), also called "Positive Power" (「正」の力, "Sei" no chikara), in the Digimon universe. "Light" is in fact an umbrella term for the "Source of All Life" and is the very essence of Evolution and Goodness that every existing Digimon has and uses.
In reality, every single Digimon in the franchise has some level of "Holy Power", the so-called Holy Digimon (聖なるデジモン, Seinaru Digimon) are simply the ones with high amounts of Holy Power that use it to destroy darkness and it's part of their duty, but in a way every Digimon has Holy Power. Especially the "Virus Buster" Digimon are known to have a strong sense of justice to fight "Evil", especially among the "Virus DIgimon" and so they use their "power of justice" to remove this spirit of evil. However this is more related with the fact of most of them being Vaccine Digimon, and is more of a natural instinct for those Digimon to fight against evil viruses. In the end, every Digimon has at least some amount of Holy Power, but some are more likely to have the "Will of Justice" to use it against evil.
Uses
Light Manipulation and Holy Manipulation: Any Holy Digimon has control over Light that opposes Darkness and uses it in nearly every single one of their attacks; Healing, Regeneration, Resurrection and Life Manipulation: In Digimon Light is a representation of both Existence and Life, so the attacks used by Holy Digimon have the power to oppose the erasure and death of Darkness and cause the healing, regeneration and even resurrection of erased Digimon; Can affect Nonexistent Physiology: The Holy Power is used directly to fight against Darkness, that is non-existence within the universe; Purification and Empathic Manipulation: Holy Power is capable of purifying the darkness that exists in the heart and bring back gentle and positive feelings; Empowerment: As Light is born from good intent, the power of a Holy digimon grows along with its own positive feelings; Reactive Evolution: As Light is in fact the essence of Evolution, any Digimon uses the Holy Power in order to grow and evolve; Resistance and nullification of Darkside Power: The Holy Power is the natural opposite of the Darkside Power, strong enough Holy Power is capable not only of resisting against Darkside Power, but also negating its effects. In fact, most of the powers showed here are direct opposites of the Darkside Power.
