"Under Construction!"
This article or section will be subject to revision in the near future. The current statistics or information does not fully reflect our views.
I know what you have seen. It is your futures that slumber in this hall. Destiny, in its essential form. All the dreams that might have been. All the happiness, and sorrow, you might have known. Your tomorrow, as it has been witnessed. The Black Omen transcends time and space, drifting through the all and nothing, waiting for Lavos to awaken. Destiny has led you here, and here you shall remain. Unless you can defeat me and bring down the Omen, there is no future for you! Come, children! Lavos slumbers. I will guide you into the depths of his dream. Did I say dream? I meant, of course, his eternal nightmare!
~ Queen Zeal to Crono and co.

Background

Queen Zeal is the matriarch of Antiquity in Chrono Trigger. She is the sole ruler of the Kingdom of Zeal, the most magically advanced civilization throughout Chrono Trigger 's timeline. It is unknown how the Queen came to obsess over the power of Lavos, but by the time Crono and his friends encounter her, she is dangerously fixated on drawing upon Lavos' energies in an effort to become immortal.

Zeal is maniacal in her efforts to gain power and immortality. She displays a haughty attitude, creating a society which is entirely self-centered, and further centered on her. Her own people are both slavishly devoted to her and terrified of her. She is paranoid and manipulative, gladly abusing the vast magical talent that her daughter Schala displays in order to further her goals. The well-being of her children is forgotten in the face of her desperate desire for power, and she shows a willingness to sacrifice any number of beings in her efforts.

However, it is mentioned by many, including the Gurus, that Queen Zeal did not always behave in such a power-hungry and inhuman manner. Melchior observes that the Queen's psychological degeneration appears tied directly to how much of Lavos' energy she absorbs through the Mammon Machine. Though Schala recognizes her mother's madness, she remains emotionally torn over her inability to accept her mother's behavior. Janus, the Queens only known son, reveals his feelings that Queen Zeal has ceased to be his mother, that she has somehow been changed by the power of Lavos.

It is during the rule of Queen Zeal that humanity first comes into possession of magic, which is revealed to be a concentrated form of Lavos' power. It is this power which Zeal believes will make her immortal. Indeed, after the events in the Ocean Palace and the rising of the Black Omen, Queen Zeal does seem to obtain some form of immortality, since she exists in any time period that the Omen can be found in. It is possible, though, that this is due to the Omen's time-bending nature rather than proper immortality. Queen Zeal makes her final stand against Crono at the heart of the Black Omen, where she is finally defeated.

It is important to note that Queen Zeal is extremely unique in terms of her relationship with Lavos. She is the only known entity to establish any sort of a rapport with the creature. She treats Lavos as a god-like being worthy of worship, yet at the same time Lavos makes no attempt to absorb or destroy her, and indeed seems to follow her commands during the fateful encounter in the Ocean Palace. Also potentially noteworthy, Lavos does not mimic her powers during Crono's encounter with him, despite the fact that she is one of the most powerful boss characters in the game. All of this may suggest a unique relationship between the two, with Zeal's worship both drawing strength from and channeling power into Lavos. However, the actual dynamic of their relationship is never fully explored, and one can only speculate as to its true nature.

Codex Statistics

Grade: S

Tier: High 6-A, Higher with Summoning

Dimensionality: 3-D, likely 3+2-D while merged with the Black Omen (The Black Omen transcends time and space across all temporal dimensions, which could possibly make Zeal’s own dimensionality higher)

Attack Potency: Multi-Continent level (Fought Crono and co. who after defeating Zeal fought Lavos whose awakening caused destruction to the entire planet, making a bleak future, which turned the sky black which relates to atmosphere destruction, which ranges from 10^26 joules to 10^29 joules depending on the type of atmosphere destruction), likely Continent level (Caused Zeal to fall destroying the continent in the process), Higher with Summoning (Can summon Lavos)

Durability: Multi-Continent level. Her connection to the Black Omen & Lavos makes her extremely hard to kill

Striking Strength: Multi-Continent Class

Lifting Strength: Unknown: True Class

Travel Speed: Superhuman (Can move fast enough to attack Crono and co.

Attack Speed: Unknown: Undefinable (Their existence is that with the Black Omen which flows across all temporal dimensions and transcends space-time, existing outside of the flow of time itself. Along with the black omen being stated to “straddle time”)

Reaction Speed: Unknown: Undefinable

Stamina: Likely Limitless (Within the black omen Zeal has eternal life, being able to never die as long as Lavos keeps powering the machine, likely supplying her with an infinite amount of energy)

Range: Standard Melee, Kilometers with her powers (Should be comparable to Crono’s magic), Universal with the Black Omen (The Black Omen exists across multiple temporal dimensions which would encompass this size)

Intelligence: Genius Intelligence (Her magic is stated to surpass Queen Zeal’s who gains full control over the Mammon Machine and the Black Omen being the only being to be able to work with Lavos), Cosmic with the Black Omen (The Black Omen allows her to be immortal existing beyond all temporal dimensions of space-time, and having Lavos' energy fuel it, Lavos who despite having animalistic tendencies, is an extremely intelligent parasite, being the very reason for evolution of humanity while also surveying said evolution so it could gain the DNA of all organisms on the planet and evolve into a higher lifeform, all the while it is the creator of elements in Chrono Trigger. As the Frozen Flame is a piece of Lavos, he has a complete perspective of the infinite timelines of the multiverse, perceiving every time period and alternate selves there are. Lavos has shown himself being capable of looking throughout time and perfectly replicating attacks and futuristic technology before it even existed. Knew about Crono and co.’s plan to defeat him and counter acted with a back up plan)


Powers and Techniques








Equipment

Black Omen, Lavos


Notable Techniques

  • Death Kiss: Absorbs MP from the person Zeal comes into contact with.
  • Halation: Creates a massive aura blast that reduces the whole party's HP to 1.
  • Energy Spheres: Scatters multiple homing energy spheres to hit the opponent.
  • Heavenly Gate: A powerful light/holy magic attack from the heavens.
  • Gear of Darkness: A powerful dark magic attack that causes massive explosions.
  • Starburst: An incredibly powerful water attack being her most powerful attack, hitting all enemies at once.
  • MP Buster: Absorbs all the MP the opponent has left to equally restore her own. This attack also acts as an auto counter if her left hand is attacked in her second form.
  • Life Shaver: Reduces a single party member's HP to 1. This attack is only an auto counter if her right hand is attacked in her second form.

Other

Standard Tactics: Zeal will start using the move halation, reducing her opponent's HP to 1 then proceed to death kiss them and shoot energy spheres at them. Once defeated in base they will send the opponent into the Mammon Machine where if they do not have a resistance to absorption they will be absorbed and become one with Lavos, if they do defeat the Mammon Machine though then Zeal will transform where she will start shooting out lasers and using moves such as heavenly gate, gear of darkness, and starburst. If either of her hands are attacked the opponent gets counter attacked with life shaver, reducing their HP to 1 or MP buster, removing all of their MP. If even her second transformation is defeated she will summon Lavos.

Weaknesses: As her innate element is fire she has a natural weakness to water element spells.
