Now that I've finished replaying Chrono Trigger, it's time to compile feats to argue that even in Chrono Trigger there are universal/multiversal feats.
Some great force is putting pressure on all of time, with more and more distortions in space-time appearing. There are two beings that this would most likely be referring to; Lavos or the Entity, in which case Lavos is killing the Entity so it would scale in anycase.
(Original Japanese kanji)
老人「違う時間を生きる者が、4人以上で
時空のゆがみに入ると、次元の力場が
ねじれてしまう……。
しかし、この所、時空のゆがみが
多くてな。
お前さん達の様にフラリとここへ
あらわれる者もいる……。
何かが時間全体にえいきょうを
およぼしているのかも知れんな……。
(Literal translation)
Old Man: When four or more people who live in different times enter a space-time distortion, the dimensional field warps... But there have been so very many space-time distortions recently. There are even those, like you, who pop up here... Perhaps something is having an effect on time in its entirety...
(Original English SNES translation)
OLD MAN: When 4 or more beings step into a time warp, the Conservation of Time theorum states that they will turn up......at the space-time coordinates of least resistance. Here. Disturbances in the space-time continuum have increased recently. Far too many folks are just popping in here...I fear something is having a powerful effect on the very fabric of time...
This Entity is the planet itself, which is able to create Time Gates to allow the heroes to see different time periods and maybe even defeat Lavos as Lavos drains its life energy and its life flashes before it.

The Black Omen activating and rising shakes the space-time continuum.
ロボ「シルバードの時空ジャイロが
大きくみだれてイマス!
Robo: The Sylbird's timespace gyroscope IS going crazy!
{Robo}: The {Epoch}'s space-time compass has gone haywire!
In the DS version, this causes two portals to be opened in the Middle Ages and Prehistoric Times to an alternate dimension which contains the Lost Sanctum, what's more is that this is done from Antiquity, another time period all together.
A gate leading to another dimension that appeared in the Primeval and Medieval times - beyond that, the dinosaur people lived quietly. Crono and his friends, who gained their trust by chance, will receive various requests from the dinosaurs living in the village.
To further point out the importance of the time difference, not only is there a great difference in time, but also space, as the planet and the galaxy continue to move (they also specify time and space).
To begin with, Earth is rotating on its axis at the familiar rate of one revolution per day. For those of us living at Earth's midlatitudes -- including the United States, Europe, and Japan -- the rate is almost a thousand miles an hour. The rate is higher at the equator and lower at the poles...

Dizzy yet? Well hold on. The Milky Way itself is moving through the vastness of intergalactic space. Our galaxy belongs to a cluster of nearby galaxies, the Local Group, and together we are easing toward the center of our cluster at a leisurely 25 miles a second.
If all this isn't enough to make you feel you deserve an intergalactic speeding ticket, consider that we, along with our cousins in the Local Group, are hurtling at a truly astonishing 375 miles a second toward the Virgo Cluster, an enormous collection of galaxies some 45 million light-years away.
65000000 years is equal to 2.04984e15 seconds, which given the distance moved within the local cluster (25 miles being equal to 40.2336km) gives us a distance of 8.24724426e16km, or 8717.344 lightyears, while moving towards the Virgo Cluster at 375 miles a second (or 603.50400km/s) gives us a distance of 1.23708664e18km, or 130760.161 lightyears (around the diameter of the galaxy). The Black Omen was able to affect all these moments in space and time at the same time across at least two alternate dimensions.
The Black Omen exists across "all temporal dimensions." I don't know what dimensions in this context refers to, but it's still worth bringing up.
(Original Japanese kani)
女王「この黒の夢はあらゆる時間 次元をこえてながれている……。
(Literal translation)
Queen: This Black Dream flows across all temporal dimensions...
(Official English SNES translation)
QUEEN: The Dark Omen transcends time and space, waiting for Lavos to awaken!
Lavos in it's final form is able to perform space-time shifts.
(Original Japanese kanji)
(Literal translation)
(Original English SNES translation)
Lavos is repeatedly said to have infinite power in both the original Japanese version and the English translation.
(Original Japanese kanji)
この黒の夢は、ラヴォス神へとつながる道。
わらわに無限の力をあたえてくれる神殿。
おぬし達のもとめる未来なぞ
この奥におわすラヴォス神があられる限り
望むべくもないわ!
(Literal translation)
This Black Dream is a path to the god Lavos. A temple that provides me with infinite power. You ought not even wish for such things as the future you seek as long as the god Lavos, who dwells within here, exists!
(Original English SNES translation)
The Black Omen is a path which leads to Lavos. It is a shrine which provides us with limitless power. As long as the mighty one reigns, your dreams are hopeless!
これこそが、ジールの力の源。ラヴォス様の無限エネルギーを引き出しぞうふくする『魔神器』です。
THIS is the source of Zeal's power.
The Nether Relic extracts and amplifies
the great Lavos's limitless energy.
THIS is the source of Zeal's strength.
The Mammon Machine...it draws and
magnifies the infinite power of Lavos.
In the Final Fantasy Chronicle Strategy Guide, Crono is said to go on a quest to save the Universe.
There's some other stuff, but it seems pretty esoteric, so I'll see if Chrono Cross or Radical Dreamers have anything else to say on the issue. In anycase, I feel the jump from Lavos to Dream Devourer to Time Devourer isn't s big as previously thought.
