1. How does the Black Omen transcend time?
QUEEN: The Dark Omen transcends time
and space, waiting for Lavos to
awaken!
Firstly, the nature of this quote must be considered; Queen Zeal is known for her raving. The Black Omen is susceptible to time; if it is destroyed in one era, it will remain existing in eras previous to that. Thus, it is believed that this was simply a superficial comment, and that the Black Omen transcends time and space in that it and its inhabitants are seemingly ageless and eternal, as Lavos's powers grant, and that it rises above the atmosphere in some regard.
2. How do two Mammon Machines exist -- the ruin seen in the Black Omen and the functioning version seen in the Pocket Dimension?
The Mammon Machine is a "A trans-dimensional object. One object, but expressed in two dimensions at the same time." (GrayLensman) It is possible that "the Mammon Machine, when it began to interface with Lavos, split, one of which stayed in the pocket dimension gathering power from Lavos, with the other staying out and processing it." (Aitrus) "The Keystone Dimension equivalent was damaged by the Ocean Palace stabbing. Keystone PD-1's is flawless until blown up in the BLack Omen sidequest." (ZeaLitY)
