Dragon God

“	In order to survive, all living things in this world, fight desperately and devour those they defeat... Must one kill other living things in order to survive? Must one destroy another world in order to allow one's own world to continue? The wounded in turn wound and torment those weaker than they themselves are. There are only the killers and the killed... The sinners who are judged, and the victims that do the judging... What meaning is there to such a world?	„
	~ Lavos speaking through the Frozen Flame and Dragon God

Background

Dragon God is a race of cybernetic organisms in Chrono Cross. Originating as a Dragonian science, these mechanical reptiles were built to tame, govern, and manipulate the physical world. Born as one beast, the Dragon God inevitable split into six: Fire Dragon, Water Dragon, Earth Dragon, Sky Dragon, Black Dragon, and Green Dragon. Of the same DNA, it is believed a seventh dragon emerged. Undeniably containing its genetic pattern, Harle is believed by some to be this creature, but she is only an offspring of the DNA, not a separation of the original being.

This dropdown contains the synopsis of Dragon God’s story. Read at your own risk as you may be spoiled otherwise!

Engineered to crown the city of Dinopolis, it was activated before 2400 A.D.; given sentience, it was able to think and speak on its own. In 2400 A.D., Dinopolis and the Dragon God were both pulled into the Keystone Dimension in 12000 B.C. by The Entity to counteract the introduction of Chronopolis into the era; a war ensued between the Dragonians and the forces of the time fortress. In the ensuing battle, the actual Dragon God was defeated and somehow consumed by the Time Devourer; a physical avatar remained. When Chronopolis prevailed, it seized control and subjugated the Dragon God, eventually dividing it up into six entities to better exert control by. As the Dragon God was able to control nature as a whole, these Dragons each represented a facet of nature, and were assigned colors; these forces were called Elements, and devices able to exert force stemming from a certain color were able to be constructed at certain power spots around El Nido. The six Dragons were each given an island and their own intelligence; these included Water Dragon Isle, Earth Dragon Isle, Gaea's Navel (which existed prior to terraforming), Marbule, Mount Pyre, and Sky Dragon Isle. Though under the control of FATE, the Dragons still conversed with one another, waiting for a chance to strike back at the supercomputer. They maintained hatred towards humanity, perceiving it as corrupted by Lavos's evolutionary influence. The Dragons were also equipped with six special relics that were destined by Belthasar to allow Serge access to the Sea of Eden. For thousands of years, the Dragons slept dormant, and were not directly in contact with other beings. In 1006 A.D., however, Serge made contact with the Frozen Flame in Chronopolis after being taken there by Wazuki to heal a panther bite; the magnetic storm that allowed him passage also shut down Chronopolis's systems and defenses. The Dragons temporarily united to create a seventh Dragon, Harle, who was given the imperative to steal the Frozen Flame for the Dragon God's use. The Dragons then slept once more. When the dimensions split in 1010 A.D., defense mechanisms probably created by Belthasar kicked in to kill off duplicates of the Dragons in different dimensions. As a result, the Water, Green, and Earth Dragons survived in Home World, while the Fire, Black, and Sky Dragons inhabited their areas in Another World. The Water Dragon was paid a visit in 1020 A.D. for his Ice Breath, which enabled Serge to cross Mount Pyre. Later, Serge visited all the Dragons to obtain their relics; they allowed him to have them, hoping that if he defeated FATE, they would be able to unite once more and take the Frozen Flame. This occurred precisely as planned (though Belthasar laid the framework), and the Dragons united across the dimensions over Chronopolis, forming the Dragon God once more. Harle stole the Frozen Flame, and the Dragon God took it back to Terra Tower, the emerged Dinopolis ruin. While possibly making plans to achieve vengeance on humans, the Dragon God was assaulted by Serge and his party, who surmounted Terra Tower and battled the machine. The Dragon God used its Elemental power to simulate various environments, but was still overcome; it then retreated back to the belly of the Time Devourer, leaving the Frozen Flame to be taken. This marked the end of the Dragon God's existence; the destruction of the Time Devourer thereafter spelled its own eradication from the world. Presumably, the ability to fashion Elements remained in El Nido. The legacy of the Dragonians would live on in the Keystone Dimension.

While floating in mid-air, she swivels round to face a crimson-colored moon, with a shadow slowly passing over it. When the moon is completely obscured by this shadow, a lunar eclipse is formed, which blurs out and disappears. The camera will then shift its focus onto the enemies, whereupon the eclipse is observed to form on the ground they are standing on. As the eclipse fades away, thick swirls of light engulf the foes, forming rainbows as the light is reflected in different directions. As the colorful light fades away, a scaly orb is observed to collect the foes into its middle. Purple-colored rings of light are observed to rush continuously into the middle of the orb, until the orb explodes in a vein of black-colored lines against a white-colored backdrop. The field then reverts back to normal, whereupon the foes are dropped from the sky and sustain damage accordingly, along with inflicting any status types onto its targets), Dimensional Travel & Lower Dimensional Manipulation (Harle is able to enter into the temporal vortex and is the only way for Serge to escape the temporal vortex as she knows how to leave and enter said space), Creation (The Six Dragon Gods in their weakened state created Harle), Resistance to Elemental Manipulation, Light Manipulation, Holy Manipulation, Life Manipulation, Fire Manipulation, Magma Manipulation, Ice Manipulation, Water Manipulation, Plant Manipulation, Electricity Manipulation, Earth Manipulation (Characters naturally resist their own elements, with the Dragon God having all 6 innate elements)
