Chronos of Saint Seiya: ND and Cronos of Saint Seiya: Episode G are the exact same character. Their profiles should be merged together.
Both are the father of Zeus.
Also; Editors statements cannot be made without the Authors permission. Japan is among the countries that have the most strict copyright laws. Arguably more so than the US. A statement like that cannot be done without the Authors permission, and the reason the statements are not in the volume release is NOT because its a "correction" but because it is a collection of chapters compiled into 1 volume. This is so that it keeps a continuous flow of events without interruption. The scan above is the first edition magazine release which has chapter breaks/Chapter transitions. The Volume release does NOT invalidate this statement.
Kurumada only ever had intentions for 1 Chronos in his series.
The Saint Seiya: Taizen which had heavy involvement from Kurumada gave us a family tree which only shows 1 Chronos.
The new official website gave us the Kanji for the name of Chronos being
クロノス
クロノス
Cronus, In the most classic and well known version of Greek mythology, Cronus or Kronos was the leader and the youngest of the first generation of Titans, divine descendants of Gaia, the earth, and Uranus, the sky. He overthrew his father and ruled during the mythological Golden Age, until he was overthrown by his own son, Zeus and imprisoned in Tartarus. Cronus was usually depicted with a sickle or scythe, which was also the instrument he used to castrate and depose Uranus, his father.

That is exactly how Kronos in Episode G is portrayed, and that description is associated with the name that is being used with Chronos in Saint Seiya Next Dimension.
The Hourglass is not the true form of Chronos from ND. It is simply a tool used to control time with. Both Characters are portrayed having the same tool
In Saint Seiya: Episode G Assassins; The power of Chronos is stated to come from the Hourglass.
The Japanese Raw of this scene uses the exact Kanji/Symbols as the official website when describing Chronos here.
Both use
時の神(クロノス)
When Sealed in Tartarus you can still manifest various forms and aspects. It can be non-corporal in nature or even physical in nature.
Cronos does this in Episode G, and in Next Dimension the God Asclepius does this. So Cronos using his tool without showing himself would not be something unusual.
in Conclusion; Chronos of Saint Seiya Next Dimension, and Kronos of Saint Seiya Episode G are the same character in the franchise. They are not separate; they are not different characters. They are the same exact being/character.
Therefore Chronos of Saint Seiya Next Dimension's profile should be deleted and all his information should be given and moved over to Kronos of Saint Seiya Episode G.
Same Description for each other, same name and name kanji in raws, same powers, same origin story, The franchise owner only ever had intentions for 1 chronos.
Essentially; Merge these 2 characters together.
