“ | 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.
General Information
Name: Queen Zeal (Her first name is unknown and was never mentioned)

Classification: Enlightened One, Mother of Schala and Janus
Species: Human
Occupation: Queen
Status: Deceased (Killed by Crono and co.)
Alignment: Chaotic Evil (Used the Mammoth Machine to absorb all the magic from her citizens to re-summon Lavos, making her willing to even put her own daughter and son in harms way in order to obtain her immortality)
Codex Statistics
Grade: S
Tier: High 6-A, Higher with Summoning
Cardinality: Finite
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
Resistance to Fire Manipulation (As her innate element is fire, she has a natural resistance to fire elemental spells)
Resistance to Information Analysis (A supercomputer that can analyze across timelines cannot truly obtain any true information on Lavos), Fire Manipulation, Ice Manipulation, Water Manipulation, Electricity Manipulation, Light Manipulation, Holy Manipulation, & Darkness Manipulation (Unaffected by fire elemental spells, his pod absorbs all light, shadow, ice, water, and fire elements), Absorption (The very same knife made from the dreamstone, sunstone of nigh-infinite power which made the mammon machine that can absorb the sunstone and Lavos energy could not stop Lavos’ awakening. Instead it corrupted the Masamune making it a blade of evil until Serge and co. purified it), Darkness Manipulation (Shadow magic heals him), Sealing (Should be able to break through seals through sheer strength like Serge did. His mere energy can negate seals), Reality Warping, Time Manipulation, Nothingness Manipulation (Can move, fight, and act within the Darkness Beyond Time, where there is no beginning or end, a place where all timelines, existent or non-existent go to feed Lavos’ strength. Should be able to move in the Bend of Time), Black Hole Creation (Survives being around Black Holes), Metaphysics Manipulation (Soul Manipulation; Like others in verse, can dodge his soul being taken out of him when the enemy uses hell soul), Fate Manipulation (After Serge killed FATE, Kid makes mention that destiny and fate itself is dead, with all characters having to make their own destiny), Subjective Reality, Probability Manipulation, & Quantum Manipulation (Lavos exists in the nonexistent timelines and can interact with the current timelines, which puts him outside of the worlds is stabilized by the observations of the one who views it, with Chrono Cross' explanation of how nothing is absolute and everything falls under possibilities and potentialities which all collapse under one observation, Chrono Cross falls under wave particle duality, making Lavos able to exist in the collapsed states of probabilities and making him unaffected by quantum probability)
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.
Note: There has been some questioning on the validity of whether Lavos summoned alternate versions of himself or just revived parts of himself as the official bs Chrono Trigger character library notes the pod on the right as the "true form" of Lavos along with his ability to to revive parts of him being shown during his first phase. However this misses some key points regarding the way he revives the pods back. The way he revives his helpers is them simply coming back from nothing and continuing the fight, however the way Lavos "revives" the pods is opening up a time gate bringing them back, along with this the entire fight is based off the center shifting through time itself, with this what "Lavos true form" moreso likely means is that this is the true Lavos of the timeline and the others are alternative timeline Lavos'.
Note 2: Lavos' rains of destruction feat that reaches across the entire planet didn't life wipe as there's humans still around but also, 2300 A. D. shows a lot of the planet wasn't destroyed in the conventional sense. A lot of vehicles and technology still work and the overall landscape while very bleak, isn't fully destroyed, thus there's no way to say he significantly affected the overall planet enough to warrant a High 6-A rating, however due to it greatly affecting the atmosphere, it does grant High 6-A.
Note 3: There has also been questioning on Lavos creating the time gates due to a scene where Robo makes note that he thinks them saying Lavos creating the time gates is wrong, this is however contradicted by the scene of Lavos landing and a time gate appearing from where he landed and a time gate existing in him, along with this it's a purely theoretical idea posed by Robo never further expanded upon while Lavos has tangible evidence and has full control over space-time. Thus we have disregarded Robo's statement.
