* In the normal, official ending of the game Queen Zeal, the Mammon Machine, the entire Black Omen (Ocean Palace), and Lavos are destroyed, thus saving the world and all of its time lines.
* In the normal, official ending of the game Queen Zeal, the Mammon Machine, the entire Black Omen (Ocean Palace), and Lavos are destroyed, thus saving the world and all of its time lines. This can occur in any of the years that the Black Omen is available, so if it was defeated in the future, then the past still had the Black Omen in its history. Likewise, future influences of the Black Omen hovering over the world could be eliminated by defeating it far in the past.
* If you take the right portal in 1000 A.D. and defeat Lavos before going back in time, then Crono saves the world before the apocalypse in 1999 and its aftermath that is visible in 2300 A.D. (thus, their known forms never come to be).

* Defeating Lavos in one timezone should change the course of events in all of the others, so if you kill him in 65,000,000 B.C., then the world as you see in the game will have been changed in unknown ways.
