Since only one Time Devourer ever existed, we can confirm that the TD did not arise from changes to the normal timeline. In the new timeline, the pocket dimension simply collapses, but the original timeline containing the future version of Lavos is cast into the darkness, pocket and all. Only when Crono enters the pocket itself and destroys Lavos there, is the pocket dimension timeline altered. Within the Pocket Dimension, Lavos is unaffected by any changes made to the timeline of the outside world. Thus, as time passes within the pocket, to any external observer Lavos is unchanging for all time. In the pocket, time flows along an axis perpendicular to the normal timeline. Lavos exists within a pocket or warp in space-time, which is connected to all time periods simultaneously. The use of Queen Zeal was, as mentioned above, probably just a useful defense measure against Crono.Was Lavos inside the Darkness Beyond Time, or beyond it?īy applying the pocket dimension theory to the Time Devourer, these problems are easily resolved. This suggests that, in light of the lost storyline, the Time Devourer was a unique, haphazard existence and that so too was the use of the Arbiter and the impulse for Lavos to bind with something. Lavos's basic directive is to spawn and perpetuate its existence among the stars destroying the space-time continuum would betray this function. However, Lavos seems disturbed and unnatural at this point: It is only Schala's chance fall into the Darkness Beyond Time that Lavos begins merging. The use of Queen Zeal can be construed as a defense measure against the heroes of time, acknowledged by Lavos. In Chrono Trigger, Lavos erupts and spawns without allying with Queen Zeal the first time, suggesting having an outside ally is not part of the process. This depends on whether the creation of the Frozen Flame was accidental. With this considered, it is normal for Lavos to select a terrestrial envoy as an ally, or seek to bind to become a higher life form in the case of the Time Devourer? Considering that in the same book, they contradict other canon (such as stating the Prometheus Circuit is not Robo, when Masato Kato noted that the circuit is Robo), the veracity of Ultimania is arguable.
For the time being, it remains speculation made by the Ultimania authors.

Lastly, Belthasar notes that the Arbiter will gain "extraodinary binding with the new seed of destruction, the Devourer of Time." However, this storyline is not directly stated or implied in Chrono Cross, and neither has series creator Masato Kato confirmed it himself. A demi-human in Marbule states that "anyone who touches that Flame will become a different being." Lynx, at Viper Manor, warns Serge that "there shall be a deep enmity between you and the world" once destruction occurs. Quotes in the game also seem to hint at this possibility three come to mind specifically.
Apparently, the Time Devourer needed enough power before it could reach maturity, and Serge would have been the final piece in the puzzle. Ultimania also postulates that Schala was an Arbiter of the Frozen Flame while it existed in Zeal, and that is how she came to bind with Lavos. Chrono Cross Ultimania mainly supports this notion, claiming that the Arbiter of the Frozen Flame must mediate between his fellow lifeforms and Lavos, or else he will inevitably bind with the creature and spell destruction for other humans.
Signs point to another overarching storyline that involved Serge binding with the Time Devourer itself in this scenario, Serge, if he did not defeat the Time Devourer with the Chrono Cross, would ultimately bind with it and cause the Devourer to mature, granting him the power to consume space-time. Taken from the Chrono Cross Condensed Plot Summary: Finally, in Chrono Cross, the role of the Arbiter is defined, and the lost storyline arc mentioned by Kato expands upon the danger of Serge's life. In Radical Dreamers, it is suggested that the Frozen Flame was interred in the Mammon Machine. In Chrono Trigger, Lavos seems to use Queen Zeal and her resources as an immense ally against the heroes of time.
