...I'm finally doing this.
I'm just gonna copy + paste Fate's response:
"For one, if we take one interpretation, it took:
1. Anywhere between 20+ to 44 2-As to beat it, no less (DBT doesn't have the Time Travel limitation of CT).
2. EoS Serge.
3. Frozen Flame which was channeling its own powers against the thing.
4. Chrono Cross which was tailor made against it.
5. The powers of thoughts, dreams and stuff from everyone across the infinite timelines channeled by the Chrono Cross to beat the thing.
For two, we have actual 2-D space in Chrono Cross and it is presented as qualitatively inferior/a lower plane of existence compared to 3-D Reality.
And by the end of the game Schala mentions stuff about "the world evolving to the next dimension".
For three, the Chrono Cross actually reacts to lower dimensions as well, since you can legit gather all party members if you go to the 2-D space of the Temporal Vortex and use it... You literally gather every party member you ever had across different playthroughs of the game (Only way you can get all the characters). Though this last one could be game mechanics.
There is also the fact that the DBT, while presented as Non-Existence, is nonetheless mentioned to be Beyond Space and Time. We also have that old statement about transcending Time and Space from Queen Zeal to boot so the existence of ONE dimension above the 4th one shouldn't be too far-fetched."
Also, it is heavily implied that Lavos would've absorbed Serge if he lost, along with the Chrono Cross itself, severely boosting his power and screwing over everything (and if the Dragon God is anything to go by, he would've also gained the powers of the Chrono Cross and Serge)
