When the Ultimatrix was destroyed, Ben got the completed Omnitrix that stores DNA in a digitized form. This is actually a retcon, and a sloppy one at that. Before Alien Force season 3, the Omnitix stored the DNA inside itself, as stated by Azmuth. Ben couldn't fight the Highbreed fleet without risking the DNA database Azmuth would use to revive the races exterminated by the Highbreed. In season 3, this was retconned so that the Omntrix synchronized with the database on Primus, rendering Azmuth's previous argument nonsensical. If the Omnitrix didn't have a DNA database, then Ben had no reason no to use it to fight the Highbreed. In Omniverse, Primus plays no role and Derrick intended to retcon it out of continuity because it was needlessly complex and made little sense to begin with; the Unitrix still exists in Omniverse.
