[[Melchior]], the Guru of Life, was the designer and architect of the Mammon Machine. Seeing the power Lavos was exerting beneath the earth, it was decided that that power could be used to achieve immortality. When it was completed, it was placed in [[Zeal Palace]].

For security reasons, doors were placed around the Mammon Machine that could only be opened with power taken from the machine. | [[Melchior]], the Guru of Life, was the designer and architect of the Mammon Machine.

In the original timeline, [[Queen Zeal]] wanted the machine activated when it was completed. The three [[Guru]]s warned of dimensional vortexes, power beyond human control, and that they will be dragged into a rift if it was activated, though they still proceeded. When it was activated, Queen Zeal, the three Gurus, and Schala were there to witness it. However, [[Magus|Janus]] entered the room as well, and suddenly they all appeared in front of Lavos. [[Gate]]s then appear and transport the three Gurus and Janus to different times. | In the original timeline, [[Queen Zeal]] wanted the machine activated when it was completed.

When [[Crono]]'s party arrives in the Antiquity, they enter the room containing the Mammon Machine in Zeal Palace and hold the pendant to the machine, resulting in it powering up. They use the powered-up pendant on another door and find the Queen, [[Dalton]], Schala, and [[Magus|The Prophet]]. The Prophet tells the Queen that Crono's party are the "''bringers of disaster''" he warned her of, so Dalton sends a [[Golem]] at them. If they beat it, then Dalton places a barrier around them and the Queen tells them that they will not die yet. If they lose to the Golem, the Queen says the same thing. | When [[Crono]]'s party arrives in the Antiquity, they enter the room containing the Mammon Machine in Zeal Palace and hold the pendant to the machine, resulting in it powering up.

The party eventually returns to the Antiquity thanks to the [[Epoch]]. They head to the [[Terra Cave]] and eventually make their way to the top of the [[Mountain of Woe]]. They defeat [[Giga Gaia]] and free Melchior from a barrier that was placed around him. They tell him the situation, and he tells them that it "''seems the more energy the Mammon Machine absorbs, the further the Queen descends into madness''" and that "''Lavos is overtaking her soul from within his slumber beneath the waves''". The mountain suddenly beings to collapse due to the seal being broken by freeing Melchior, so they flee from the mountain as it collapses into the ocean. | The party eventually returns to the Antiquity thanks to the [[Epoch]].

Crono's party eventually arrive where the Mammon Machine is. However, the energy from the machine is too great for Schala and injures her. The Queen tells her to control the machine, though Crono throws the Ruby Knife into the machine. However, the Prophet comments that it is too late, and suddenly they appear in front of Lavos. The Mammon Machine is also a boss on the [[Black Omen (Location)|Black Omen]]. | Crono's party eventually arrive where the Mammon Machine is.
